BEIJING, March 13 (Xinhua) -- Scholars from the Association of the Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) said on Thursday that China was not a threat to its 10-member countries and appreciated China's foreign and defense policies.
"China threat is not really a hard, physical, reality-based assessment," said Bernard Loo, Nanyang Technological University assistant professor, at a dialogue between senior defense scholars from China and ASEAN countries that opened here on Wednesday.
"China has been much involved in the world economy and world globalization. If there would be a war, the process will be jeopardized. In that respect, I don't really think China is a threat to the region," said the Singaporean.
