China on Wednesday accused the United States of undermining global stability with unilateral policies and “power politics” as the Defense Ministry issued the first comprehensive outline of its policies since President Xi Jinping came to power more than six years ago.

The U.S. was the first country mentioned in the document's opening section about "prominent destabilizing factors" and "profound changes" in the international security environment.

"The U.S. has adjusted its national security and defense strategies, and adopted unilateral policies," China said in the document. "It has provoked and intensified competition among countries, significantly increased its defense expenditure ... and undermined global strategic stability."

It's the 10th white paper of its kind since 1998. The last one was published in 2011, two years before Xi became president.

The document said China will not renounce the use of force in efforts to reunify Taiwan with the mainland and vowed to take all necessary military measures to defeat “separatists.”

China listed among its top priorities its resolve to contain “Taiwan independence” and combat what it considers separatist forces in Tibet and the far west region of Xinjiang.

While highlighting China’s “defensive” approach, the report also pledged to “surely counterattack if attacked.”

China: "The US has undermined global strategic stability.

Now if you could please excuse us, we have a busy day.
We have some military bases to build in the South China Sea off the coast of the Philippians, then we have to make claims that it is in our territorial waters. Then we have to invade northern India, tighten our control over autonomous Hong Kong, torture some Uigars, steal patented information and sell it as our own, take over 5G communications and otherwise do a whole lot of electronic theft.

This may well be true, but it happened during and deliberately by the last administration.
