China's military development is still 20 years behind the United States', and it is not a threat to regional peace, Chinese Defense Minister Liang Guanglie said on Sunday.


Liang's comments, made at the Shangri-La Dialogue hosted by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in Singapore, come at a time when China's rapidly growing military is drawing more attention from the world. Addressing a question regarding to the current development of the Chinese military, Liang said that it is still at the mechanizing stage. "A large portion of our military is still motorized, and only a small part is mechanized."


"We have a generational gap with other developed militaries," he said.




China reassured its neighbors Sunday that it will maintain "peace and stability" in the turbulent South China Sea, a day after the U.S. renewed concerns over territorial disputes.


Defense Minister Gen. Liang Guanglie said China was keeping its agreements to the peaceful resolution of territorial disputes.



However, Liang underscored the "freedom of navigation and overflight" in the South China Sea.



Liang said China is no threat to world peace, noting its military policy is purely defensive.



"To judge whether a country is a threat to world peace," he said, "the key is not to look at how strong its economy or military is, but the policy it pursues."



He sought to relieve concerns about China's modernization of its powerful military, saying "no matter how developed it may be, China will never seek hegemony or military expansion."

China’s defence minister says China is not a threat to peace in Asia and will never seek military conquest.


Liang also spoke about cyber security, saying China is under frequent attacks from various sources, which are hard to identify. He said countries should create a common regulation to guard against cyber attacks.


This year is the 10th anniversary of the Shangri-La Dialogue held by the IISS, also named the Asia Security Summit, a non-official forum to provide a platform for defense officials, experts and observers to exchange views on security issues in Asia.
