Defence Ministry anger at content of US defense act

A Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman yesterday voiced strong opposition to content concerning China in a US defense authorization act.

"The content is a rude interference in China's internal affairs and harmful to our strategic mutual trust," said Yang Yujun, referring to the US National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013.

One section acknowledges Japan's administration over the Diaoyu Islands, and another calls for more arms sales to Taiwan.

Yang also criticized a planned deployment of F-35 fighters to the Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, in 2017, as revealed by US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on December 18.
