BEIJING: Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Yang Yujun said Tuesday that the country has not built any military bases overseas, stressing that China pursues a defensive national defense policy.
China's news agency (Xinhua) quoted Yujun as saying that his country seeks no hegemony or military expansion.
China's Liaoning aircraft carrier, which was commissioned in September 2012 is the country's only aircraft carrier at present, he added.
Yang explained that the aircraft carrier was conducting trials and military training, and that when drafting its aircraft carrier plan, China would take all things into consideration, including economic and social development, as well as national defense and military construction needs.
