China Must Better Balance Growth With Security: People’s Daily

China must strike a better balance between development and security, the Communist Party’s official newspaper said in a commentary that repeated an earlier call by President Xi Jinping, who also criticized US efforts to contain the Asian nation.

“We must be aware that China’s development is facing both strategic opportunities and challenges while uncertainties and unpredictability have grown,” the People’s Daily said. “We must better coordinate development and security, pay equal attention to both, consider more the security factor while developing,” it said.
