Defense Secretary Jim Mattis should “stop releasing” assessments of China’s military, the Communist power said in response to a new Pentagon report on the regime’s air force.

“We call on the U.S. to abandon its Cold War mentality, regard China’s defense and military construction in an objective and rational way,” the Chinese Defense Ministry said in a statement carried by Global Times, a state-run outlet. “We also request that the US stops releasing the related reports and safeguards the stable development of the two countries’ military with real actions.”
