China said the US is a disruptor of peace in response to Pentagon report on China’s military buildup

China said the US is the “biggest disruptor of regional peace and stability” in a scathing response to a Pentagon report on China’s growing military buildup. The annual report that is required by Congress is one way the Pentagon measures the military capabilities of China, which the US government sees as its key threat in the Asia-Pacific region and America’s primary long-term security challenge.China’s statement called the Pentagon report’s findings false and used it to hit back at US’ recent actions in helping Israel and Ukraine, as well as its buildup of military installations worldwide.
