US Cries Chinese Wolf

US Cries Chinese Wolf: "Indeed, in the Pentagon press briefing introducing the report a senior defense official said, 'China appears to be pursuing a set of enduring strategic priorities which we identify in this report as, first, perpetuating the role of the Chinese Communist Party, continuing economic development, ensuring domestic stability, protecting national sovereignty and territorial integrity and obtaining great-power status.'

With the exception of protecting the Chinese Communist Party there are the same goals the United States lists in its own annual strategy documents."
