__________________________________ Chinese Admiral Sun Jian-guo told a security summit in Singapore Sunday that construction work is (quoting now) "justified, legitimate and reasonable," and that the projects are for the purpose of providing (what he called) "international public services." The Chinese admiral's comments came a day after U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter delivered a blunt rebuke to China for being "out of step" with international norms. _____________________________周日中国海军上将孙建国在新加坡举行的安全峰会上表示海岛的建设工作"正当,合法,合理"(孙建国原话),同时建设工作的目的是为"国际社会提供公共服务"(孙建国的原话).昨日,美国国防部长阿什顿`卡特直斥中国的行为"超出"国际规范,今天孙建国就对此进行了上述回应.
