Japan questions purpose of China's missile arsenal

Japan's defense minister questioned on Saturday whether China's missile and nuclear arsenal was only meant for self-defense, though China sought to play down fears of its growing military strength and spending.

 

This comes after China said it will raise its heavily scrutinized defense spending by nearly a fifth this year to 418 billion yuan ($60.2 billion). (Reuters)
