On Thursday, a military academician in an exclusive interview with Xinhua Newsagency said that the Chinese government has kept improving its military transparency to the outside world. In order to response other countries' concern about its military development, the Chinese government has published many white papers on defense, arms control and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, and space policy,said Wang Xinjun, a researcher with the Theoretical and Strategic Studies Institute under China's Academy of Military Science. This year, China has joined in the United Nations' Military Budget Transparency Mechanism and returned to the Conventional Weapons Registration System, two major mechanism of the UN concerning military transparency, according to the expert. All these efforts the Chinese government has made are intended to promote its military transparency, and open up its defense and military budget to the outside world. China is trying to convey to other countries that China is seeking peaceful development, and will not pose threat to regional and international peace.
