The Federal Government has rejected criticism of its Defence White Paper by former prime minister Paul Keating.
When the white paper was released in May, some analysts raisedconcerns that it placed too much emphasis on China's rising militarypower.

Mr Keating said in a speech last night that the Government was toodefensive toward China, and should see its increasing strength as anopportunity.

Defence Minister John Faulkner says the white paper envisages a good relationship with China.

"It's not aimed at a specific threat or nation. I would say to youthat the white paper 2009 is a hard-headed and rigorous analysis of thestrategic environment," he said.

"Be assured that the Australian Government is committed to and very supportive of a good relationship with China."
