Some military powers also press on curbing China's military progress in order to retain their position as world's top countries in key military technologies.
Therefore China's development in military technologies must rely on self-dependent scientific innovation.
According to President Hu Jintao's report to the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China will "strengthen the development of new- and high-technology weapons and equipment and enhance the capacity for innovation in defense-oriented research and industries."
Just as Hu's report said, the ultimate objective of China's endeavors to develop military hardware is "to safeguard China's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity and ensure its peaceful development."
China will be more confident and capable to curb war and safeguard world peace and security through peaceful means with its modernization of national defense and its military building stepping forward.
