CHINA PRESS: China does not pose a threat to any country and will not damage the

interests of any other country, but it will not allow other countries to harm

its interests either, China Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Lu Kang said

Thursday at a press briefing, responding to claims by the director of the U.S.

Central Intelligence Agency, Michael Pompeo, that China is the biggest long-term

threat for the U.S., China National Radio reported. Pempeo also said in an

interview on the sidelines of a security conference in Aspen, Colorado, this

week that China stole American military and technical secrets through

acquisitions of American technology companies, but Lu responded that the

acquisitions were "normal commercial activities" that occurred within the

workings of the market system. (China National Radio)
