Senior PLA officer: China's military power no threat to any country

  China maintains a limited military power only to secure the nation's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, and won't pose a threat to any country, said a senior officer of the PLA on Wednesday.
  Chinese government has persisted in the "coordinated development" of national defense and economic growth, and raised military spending "moderately" with the backdrop of rapid economic development and growing fiscal revenue, said Liao Xilong, director of the PLA General Logistics Department.
