As the China-US economy strategy dialogue expected held in May comes near, the bi-lateral military exchange information was confirmed yesterday on the 1st regular press conference of Chinese defense ministry.


Folks, if you didn’t find much news on the first press conference of Chinese Defense Ministry in yesterday’s media coverage, don’t be surprised – as the western based mainstream media shows a little bit indifference towards the event which is still “not transparent enough”.


First, let’s check out the news here –

The Chinese Defense Ministry held its first-ever regular press conference in Beijing on Wednesday afternoon.


The press conference was hosted by Defense Ministry spokesman Geng Yansheng. Apart from releasing information, he also answered questions from journalists.


The news conference, held on Wednesday afternoon at the Defense Ministry's Foreign Affairs Office, was the first in what will be regular briefings to be held on the last week of each month.


The regular press conference is decided to be held at the last week of each month.


The spokesman also confirmed that Chen Bingde, chief of the general staff of the People's Liberation Army, will visit the United States from May 15 to 22, amid the resumption of high-level military exchanges between the two countries. (People’s Daily Online/Xinhua/China Daily)



As the western media criticize the degree of transparency of the press conference, let’s carve a way out to get a bigger picture by some facts:


First, the launch of the mechanism shows the China’s defense ministry’s willingness of moving towards greater transparency over the military issues. The first press conference is a milestone, at least it is a good start.


Second, there is no country in the world would definitely release the total defense information of its own. China is not exceptionally.


Third, neither the U.S. is transparent enough of its defensive information. So is the motive of criticizing its counterpart China really out of a pursuit of the “right to know”? or is it actually the U.S.’s hidden strategy to turn the public target to China again?
