China's current defense spending is "entirely necessary."

This was commented by Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian, after Russian President Vladimir Putin supported the proposal of his American counterpart Donald Trump according to which Russia, the US and China should halve their respective military budgets.

"China has always faithfully adhered to the path of peaceful development. Limited defense spending is absolutely necessary to defend national sovereignty, security and development interests and maintain world peace," Lin said at the daily briefing.
