WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon is questioning how China intends to use its rapidly expanding military power, including what it calls some "disruptive military technologies."

A new Pentagon report also says Beijing continues to develop weapons that threaten Taiwan, even though tensions between the two have been reduced significantly.

The assessment comes in the latest in a series of annual assessments for Congress of China's military power.

The Associated Press obtained a summary of the report, released March 25.

It says China needs to be more open about its military modernization; otherwise it risks creating uncertainty and the potential for misunderstandings and miscalculations by other nations.
