China's arms exports do not violate rules

By Liu Qiang | China Daily | Updated: 2015-03-20 07:48

Some countries have created an uproar over China's arms trade following the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute's report on global arms sales because they have ulterior motives. The report, published on March 16 and based on the data from 2010 to May 2014, says China has surpassed Germany and France to become the world's third-largest weapons exporter; it is behind only the United States and Russia. The report also says China has witnessed the fastest growth in weapons' exports.

In view of its international influence and data credibility, the SIPRI report has offered a reason to some to create a fuss over China while turning a blind eye to some basic facts.

Anyone without prejudice can see that China's arms sales, although the third-largest in the world, are trivial compared with the top two arms-exporting countries.
