Issues of military transparency

The United States in recent years has more and more frequently criticized China about its military transparency and openness, and some US government leaders have taken the issue as a reason to check further development of Sino-US relations.

As a result, such an attitude has provoked disputes both on how the concept of military transparency was interpreted by different countries and also doubts on the US' real intention on "using this tool".

First of all, people's opinions differ on defining the concept of military transparency.
