BEIJING, May 30 (Xinhua) -- A military spokesman confirmed on Thursday that China has imported an air-cushioned landing craft that will be delivered to the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy.

Geng Yansheng, a Ministry of National Defense spokesman, made the remarks at a press briefing in response to questions about China's purchase of an air-cushioned landing craft from Ukraine.

The amphibious hovercraft has arrived in China and will be delivered to the PLA Navy "at a proper time," he said.

"China's weapon research and development is solely for national security and not aimed at any specific country or region," he said.
