In its relations with other countries, China has all along strictly abided by norms governing international relations. China has developed a limited nuclear capability through self-reliance. Our nuclear weapon systems are purely for defense purpose.
The allegations about the so-called China's "theft" of nuclear weapons and missile secrets are sheer fabrications out of ulterior political motives. This is an attempt to stir up anti-China feelings and divert people's attention. We firmly believe that the American public can make its judgement and reach a fair conclusion.
Some people in the U.S. are clinging to Cold War thinking and trying to derail China-US relations by dreaming up stories about China's spying. Their attempts will not succeed because what they are doing does not serve the interests of the United States, nor is it in conformity with the common aspiration of the Chinese and American peoples for friendly relations between the two countries.
