"The US National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) played up the alleged "China military threat" as an excuse to increase US military spending and maintain its hegemony. This grossly interferes with China's internal affairs and undermines world peace and stability. We are strongly dissatisfied with it and firmly oppose it,"
Zhang Xiaogang, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense, said on Thursday. ▪️The US announced a defense budget of up to $895 billion dollars for the next fiscal year and identified China as one of the major challenges to the US national security. https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202412/1325796.shtml
