    But a Chinese defence ministry spokesperson took a more hawkish tone at the year’s last regular press conference.

    “The United States continues to strengthen its Asia-Pacific deployments, this is full of a Cold War mindset,” the spokesperson, Wu Qian, said on Thursday.

    That’s hawkish? To state that the USA continues to strengthen it’s military deployments thousands of miles beyond it’s borders?

    On the domestic front, Wu declined to comment on the removal this week of three executives at leading aerospace defence firms from China’s top political advisory body.

    “I refer you to the competent national authorities,” he said, when asked about the reason behind the removals.

    They couldn’t be arsed to actually follow up with the people who actually know the details of the removals and instead reported that they asked the wrong person as though there’s resistance to answering the questions.

    Believably terrible reporting from Reuters.
