Pentagon may delay paper on China's military might

Move part of bid to smooth strained ties, World Journal reports

BEIJING - The US is likely to postpone the release of its annual report on China's military power in a bid to smoothen strained ties with Beijing, the US-based World Journal has reported.

The Journal, citing sources within the US Congress, on Tuesday said that the report may be delayed until May, to pave the way for President Hu Jintao's likely visit to Washington in April to attend a global nuclear security summit.
