BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s Communist Party said it wants to strengthen national security capabilities, state media reported on Thursday.
The party’s leadership also said at a four-day meeting that it wants to develop defense capabilities in line with economic capabilities, according to a readout by state news agency Xinhua.
China should maintain “strategic composure” in the face of newly emerged international challenges and conflicts, the readout said.
