US: China has right to develop military

China has the right to develop its military but must heed US calls for full transparency, a Pentagon spokesman said Tuesday.

“With respect to China, they have a right to develop military capabilities and to plan, just as we do,” said spokesman George Little, after Chinese President Hu Jintao urged the country's navy to prepare for military combat and advance naval modernization.

But Little added: “We have repeatedly called for transparency from the Chinese and that's part of the relationship we're continuing to build with the Chinese military.”

Hu said in a speech to the Central Military Commission that the navy needed to transform “and make extended preparations for military combat in order to make greater contributions to safeguard national security and world peace.”

“Our work must closely encircle the main theme of national defense and military building,” Hu told the powerful commission, according to a statement on the government website.

His comments come after China said late last month it would conduct naval exercises in the Pacific Ocean, following a major diplomatic campaign by President Barack Obama to assert the United States as a Pacific power.

“Certainly we wouldn't begrudge any other nation the opportunity, the right to develop naval forces to be ready. Our naval forces are ready and they'll stay ready.”

Hu's announcement comes in the wake of trips to Asia by several US administration officials, including Obama, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

“Clearly they're developing capabilities, air and maritime, that appear to be designed with the US Navy in mind. We would just continue to call for them to be more transparent about the capabilities they're developing,” Kirby said.

“The peaceful rise of China is a good thing for the region, it's a good thing for the world. We seek, we continue to seek, we have sought a better military relationship with China and we'll continue to pursue that.”

China's People's Liberation Army, the largest military in the world, is primarily a land force, but its navy is playing an increasingly important role as Beijing grows more assertive about its regional territorial claims.

Let me teach you boy.

Right means "human kind rght". You live among society, you have right to do this, you have right not to do that. You can not do whatever you want unless you go into jungle and live among animals ( at that time you must maybe ask for right form your neighbor animals to do something or you will get killed then...ha..ha )

China exist on earth together with other nations, of course, you have to listen and act like others ( and vice versal others ask you for doing something ). You have to obbey international law otherwise the world will send you to universal jungle.

Yeah mean like how you don't have a right to invade 2 nations on the basis of lies.
or you don't have the right to drop bombs on innocent people from thousands of feet in the air by a drone, which kills innocent men, women, and children?

Whatever you are smoking let me have it too !!! Thanks

Back to the topic:


China has Right to developing weapons then Vietnam has Right to do it so. Why China kept warned this and warned that?

 

[truthseer]

He's referring to the Iraq invasion. No weapons of mass destruction ever found, no Taliban, nothing.

 

[FairAndUnbiased]

Thank you, US, for stating the obvious. The more pertinent question is, could you deny us this right?

US wants to BULLY China too the sameway like IRAN........

 

[Oldman1]

China says U.S. don't have the right to sent Marines to Australia. China tells Vietnam don't have the right to the islands. China tells Japan they don't have rights. Or to Taiwan they don't have rights.

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

LOL, that's all they can say, because they can't exactly stop us in the first place.

It's like going up to someone who is drinking tea, and saying to them: "I grant you the right to be drinking tea".
