There are "ulterior motives" behind the "threat" of Japan constantly hyping a growing China, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Friday.
The comments came in response to accusations this week in two Japanese documents: a report on East Asia's defense affairs, released on Friday; and a draft version of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs annual report on diplomacy, listed on Wednesday.

The strategic review of the East Asian, released by the National Institute for Defense Studies under the Japanese Ministry of Defense, said the rising power of China leads to act with increasing contempt for its neighbours. "China, against the backdrop of the increasing national power and improve its military power takes more and more tasks action that can lead to friction with neighboring countries without fear," said the review.
Japan's Kyodo News Agency Wednesday released part of the draft version of the diplomatic Bluebook by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The design of the maritime presence of China in the waters of China's Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea seen as "a security problem that Japan is directly confronted with", and proved to be concerned about China's improved armed forces, Kyodo said.
"The country concerned not sincere repentance the acts of aggression during the war in history, but is excited about playing the threat of China 's, behind that may be her ulterior motives," said Hong, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman.
Peng Guangqian, a Beijing-based military commentator, said that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his Cabinet have "accelerated pace of the country" in stimulating the right-wing political mentality and the army explicit expansion plan.
Meanwhile, Abe not to visit the notorious Yasukuni Shrine, which Japanese war criminals from World War II, the shrine honors during Spring festival in April, local media said. But he's considering offering a masakaki tree, traditionally used in rituals, to the shrine, Japan's first Cabinet Minister Yoshihide Suga said.
Japan has long tried to justify the shrine visits and its attempts to revise the country's pacifist Constitution, a move widely seen as Witten militaristic history of the country, said Zhou Yongsheng, an expert on Japanese studies at the University of the Foreign Affairs of China.
"Tokyo is using the so-called ' adaptation ' to help the country remove restrictions from the post-war world order," said Zhou.
