Chinese Military Modernization U.S. Threat

CHAN:
The Chinese military is modernizing so fast that the U.S. should be building its own new weapon systems to counter it—this what's being said in a draft report by the U.S. Secretary of State's International Security Advisory Board. We bring you this story based on an exclusive report from The Washington Times.

STORY:
This is the first time U.S. defense policy recommends building missile defenses specifically against China.

The Chinese regime is strategizing to build forces that are capable of more than just retaking Taiwan. According to the draft report, China's major military objective is to, "counter U.S. presence and U.S. military capabilities in East Asia... through the acquisition of offensive capacities in critical functional areas that systematically exploit U.S. vulnerabilities.”

China's weapons buildup involves capabilities for "asymmetric warfare," such as space and computer weapons. Currently, the Chinese regime has about 20 nuclear missiles capable of reaching the U.S. And it's projected to have more than 100 missiles within just seven years.

The U.S. Security Advisory Board points out China's military modernization should be a concern, "...even with the most benign interpretation of China's motivation.”

The draft has not been officially released, but, according to a State Department official, it could be completed in the next several weeks.

People in AFRICA reject Chinese product? The last time I checked, they're lucky enough to even get their hands on any Chinese product.

Do not compare China and Russia, Russia was artificialy build, and China is one nation, the same people, and most of them believe and enjoy communism. They prosper, that is the truth. Reject goods? If you do not use Chinese goods, than you wont be using half of the things that you need as they come from China, they know what they do, they made you dependant on them, without them no computers, no electronics, no plastics...

China is good, because it balances zionist America

Ummm... anyone else notice that, while this report is talking about the military, they show the logo of the Social Security Advisement Board? Hint: The SSAB has nothing to do with National Security....

China doesn't like U.S.A too much and vice versa. If I were China I'd want to have the strongest military.

Truth or propaganda?! Only you can be the judge........... but, as we know from past events and situations that have happened when a leader tries to divulge the truth (and i mean the actual truth)... the story usually ends with a closed casket funeral.

China could also use it to : take care of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and more because America screws those areas of the world up and has to withdraw.

i find it funny how americans say they are not threatened, if that were true this wouldn't make the news. anyone who has been to the east will know about the attitude. unlike the lazy greedy pointless western world, they are above disciplined. a billion man economy is not poor and worthless. one day if not already, the chinese will be the strongest military in the world. they just dont shout their mouths off like americans.

35 seconds and onwards. This is why everyone hates USA. There is no proof that China is building up milatery to counter USA. Every country has it's right to build up its milatery against any threats.

I'm not worried about China too much although I will say they're making good military progress. China lacks natural resources. We have Japan, South Korea, India and several others on our side, and we already have military bases in their region. China has a long way before it can even compete and Japan and India HATES China. Nope, no worries here. Now we just need to keep research and development going and we'll be fine. Too bad the Obama admin hates the military.

I can assure you that the necessities of world economics will prevent war between China and the United States. The two countries are quickly developing a symbiotic relationship. Besides that, MAD is also a barrier blocking a mindless random war between these two countries. This buildup is simply a political counter to the US by China. China is asserting itself not only as a regional, but a world power.

you are asking China to bankrupt America.
