China dismissed as "irresponsible" Japanese accusations that the Communist country's program of military development is not transparent, a statement by Chinese Foreign Ministry's spokesperson Jiang Yu said on Wednesday.
"A certain country has no right to act as a representative of the international community and make irresponsible remarks on China's development," the diplomat's statement read.
On Friday Japan adopted National Defense Program Guidelines for the next 10 years. The document said China's military development and lack of transparency were cause for concern for regional and international security.
"The fact is that China's development since its reform and opening up, has brought huge opportunities of common prosperity to the world, including Japan," the diplomat said.
