The Pentagon is hyperventilating about China. It recently issued a report accusing China of understating its military spending and of not clearly stating its "intentions."

"China's military buildup has been characterized by opacity," David Sedney, deputy assistant defense secretary for East Asia, told reporters, and "by the inability of people in the region and around the world to really know what ties together the capabilities that China's acquiring with the intentions it has."
