BEIJING (Reuters) - China's stealth fighter test
flight had no connection to Defense Secretary
Robert Gates's visit, a senior Chinese diplomat
said on Wednesday.
"China's defense policy is defensive and not
directed at any other country," Vice Foreign
Minister Cui Tiankai told reporters during a press
conference ahead of Chinese President Hu
Jintao's visit to the United States.
Cui was citing Tuesday's statement from China's
Ministry of Defense.
The comments came a day after China
confirmed a maiden test-flight of its J-20 fighter
jet prototype during Gates's visit, which is aimed
at defusing military tensions.
