China releases a defense report saying it will step up its military cooperation with Russia, a day after a joint air patrol drew fire from South Korean jets

Releasing a new defense “white paper” Wednesday, China accused the U.S. of undermining regional stability by strengthening its alliances, and sharpened a warning that Beijing would use force, if necessary, to prevent Taiwan from declaring independence.
