China’s build-up of sea and air military power funded by a strong economy appears aimed at the United States, the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff said on Monday.
Admiral Michael Mullen said China had the right to meet its security needs, but the build-up would require the United States to work with its Pacific allies to respond to increasing Chinese military capabilities.
“They are developing capabilities that are very maritime focused, maritime and air focused, and in many ways, very much focused on us,” he told a conference of the Navy League, a nonprofit seamen’s support group, in Washington.
“They seem very focused on the United States Navy and our bases that are in that part of the world.”
China in March unveiled its official military budget for 2009 of $70.24 billion, the latest in nearly two decades of double-digit rises in declared defense spending.
I guess they are building up their collection arm in the event we can’t pay our loans back to them.
Jeff that’s exactly what they are doing. In addition, prophetically, they are also preparing for the mother of all battles when they team up with Russia, Turkey, Iran for Armageddon. USA, we’d better wake up and keep our eye on China’s military, it could prove more dangerous than Iran or Russia.
