CIA report on arms build-up condemned

China denounced a CIA report that its arms build-up is tilting the balance of power in the Taiwan Strait, saying the comments sent the wrong message to Taipei, according to wire reports. CIA director Porter Goss testified Wednesday before Congress that China's capabilities threatened American forces in the region. The CIA report reflects growing concern in the Bush administration and among experts about a possible showdown between China and Taiwan that could embroil the US.
