China's military strongly dissatisfied with U.S. accusations 1

The Chinese Defense 2 Ministry 3 is lashing 4 out at the most recent U.S. allegations connected to the Chinese military.

The Defense Ministry says US accusations of China's military threat and lack of transparency are "cliches."

The Defense Ministry is also blaming the United States for "sending wrong signals in territorial 5 disputes" in the Asia-Pacific region.

The comments follow the United States' annual report on China's military development and security, which came out last week.

The Chinese Defense Ministry notes the US still spends several times more per-year on its military than China does.

 

China calls for treaty on space weapons

The Chinese government is calling on the international community to start negotiations 6 on a legally binding 7 treaty that will prevent an arms race in outer space.

China and Russia have jointly 8 submitted a new draft treaty on banning the deployment 9 of weapons in outer space to a UN-sponsored disarmament conference.

The updated version has revised and refined certain clauses of the draft the two countries originally put forward in 2008.

The changes include the definition and scope of the treaty, and the organizations and mechanisms 10 that would be charged with solving disputes in outer space.

A statement from the Chinese foreign ministry says negotiations based on law and history are the most effective way to settle maritime disputes.

The anniversary of the implementation of the UN Sea treaty comes amid a growing number of territorial disputes in both the South and East China Seas.

They cannot be cashed-in before maturity 15.

The People's Bank of China created the Negotiable Certificates of Deposit late last year to try to help banks deal with issues of liquidity 16.

 

Thousands flee Mosul after militants 17 seize city

Around 500-thousand people have now fled Iraq's second biggest city, Mosul, amid the overrun of the city by Islamic militants.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, an offshoot of al-Qaida, has seized the governor's headquarters and has been rampaging through police stations.

Hundreds of detainees have reportedly been set free.

It's not known how many people have been killed in the assault.

Mosul and the province of Ninevah are a major export route for Iraqi oil.

They're also a gateway 19 to Syria.
