China seeks to calm US fears over missile

The Ministry of National Defense issued a statement on Wednesday dismissing media reportsthat China's recent ultrahigh-speed missile test flight was aimed at delivering warheads throughthe missile defenses of the United States.

"It is normal for China to conduct scientific experiments within its borders according to its plans.The tests were not aimed at any nation nor any specific target," the ministry said in a written replyto China Daily.



Western media have been playing up the significance of the hypersonic missile delivery vehicletest since The Washington Free Beacon news website quoted an anonymous Pentagon officialas saying that the test was conducted with the aim of sending warheads through US missiledefenses.

In an article on the testthe website reported that the new hypersonic missile was detectedtraveling at extremely high speeds over China.

US Pentagon spokesman Jeffrey Pool told the website, "We routinely monitor foreign defenseactivities and we are aware of this test."

Observers said reports that play up competition on military capabilities indicate a lack of mutualunderstanding on the part of the militaries of China and the USbut the misperceptions can beresolved through talks.

Lack of mutual strategic trust between the two nations is the reason why the US is worried aboutChina's military developmentsaid Fan Jishean expert on US studies at the Chinese Academyof Social Sciences.

"Washington is afraid that China's growing power will reduce its influence in the regionandthreaten the interests of its alliessuch as Japan and the Philippines. ... The US still enjoys theleading position in military abilityboth strategic weapons and conventional armaments," Fansaid.

"The US has been devoted to high-tech weapons research for a long timeand China is stillrather backward in this field," he said.

China has been sufficiently transparent on developments in its military technologies to allow forthe development of mutual trust with other nationshe added.

Li Qingkongdeputy secretary-general of the China Council for National Security Policy Studies,said, "There is no need for the US or any other country to worry about the development of theChinese militarygiven that China's military expenditure is much lower than that of the US."

Such weapons use cutting-edge technology for flying and maneuvering at ultrahigh speeds inspace and within the Earth's atmosphere.

The advantages of hypersonic craft include precise targetingvery rapid delivery of weapons,and greater survivability against missile and space defenses.

The Washington Free Beacon said the USRussiaand China are all engaged in research onhypersonic weaponswhile India is also developing a hypersonic variant of its BrahMos cruisemissile.
