How come no one ever talks about CHINA’S nuclear arsenal?


Photobucket

The hell with North Korea and Iran.Let’s talk about someone with some real nuclear might.

It’s like the truth that no one dare speak.
Did you know that China is on a mission to expand it’s military with upgrades to it’s nuclear and conventional arsenal to correspond to the “needs of winning a war”?
Did you know that China has long range missiles capable of hitting almost any target in the world?
Did you know that China has a modern nuclear attack submarine fleet and has been steadily increasing it’s patrols?Are you aware of China’s growing confidence on the world stage while showing firm commitment to further military modernization and to suppressing “splittism” in Taiwan, even at a time of warming ties.

Are you concerned.Well you should be. China is rapidly becoming one of the worlds strongest militaries and they seem to have some goals in mind.

Let’s take them one at a time.
1.Increasing it’s arsenal.
China to build up arsenal

China will strengthen the build-up of its nuclear and conventional arsenal to meet the needs of a winning war.
BEIJING – CHINA will accelerate the build-up of its nuclear and conventional arsenal to form a credible deterrent, the general in charge of the country’s strategic missile force said.
‘We will accelerate the building of our nuclear and conventional combat strength,’ said Jing Zhiyuan, the commander of the Second Artillery Corp, in an article he co-wrote for the authoritative journal Qiushi published on Sunday.
‘We will strengthen the build-up of combat systems and improve the training of high-quality
personnel,’ said the article.
China will also develop ‘a nuclear and conventional missile force corresponding to the needs of winning a war’ in conditions changed by modern information technology, it said.

What war…?I hope we don’t find out.

2. China has long range missiles capable of hitting almost any target in the world?

The administration of the Chinese Communist Party set a goal during the 1990s to create the missile and nuclear forces of China which would match the nation’s position in the world. China’s missile troops have been through a number of significant changes during the recent decade. Spokespeople for the Chinese administration say that the nation’s missile troops were now based on information technologies. To put it in a nutshell, China is now capable of striking even the USA.

Why would they want to do that….?I thought we were buddies.

China had nuclear forces before as well, but they have been united now. They include missile troops, nuclear submarines armed with ballistic missiles and a space surveillance group. Thus, China is now capable of striking Russia, the USA and Europe.

That sure makes me feel comfy.

3.China has a modern nuclear attack submarine fleet and has been steadily increasing it’s patrols?

WASHINGTON – CHINA nearly doubled the number of patrols by its fleet of attack submarines last year, surpassing Russia but still far behind the United States, the Federation of American Scientists reported on Tuesday.

They may not have as many patrols as the U.S. bit they have outpaced Russia who used to be the U.S.’s main rival under the waves.
These aren’t old,loud and greasy clunkers either.

The patrols may have been carried out by just the most modern and capable types of submarines in the Chinese fleet, the report said, noting that a new class of nuclear-powered Shang-class attack submarines is replacing the aging Han-class.

It sort of makes you wonder exactly where they are getting all that high tech technology.

4. China has eyes on Taiwan.

China-Taiwan ties have drastically improved since the Kuomintang party’s Ma Ying-jeou, an advocate for economic ties with the mainland, became the island’s president last May. China and Taiwan have opened direct air and shipping lines and Taiwan last week gained a communication link with the World Health Organization after years of China blocking its entry.

But the paper still labeled independence movements in Taiwan, Tibet and Xinjiang as primary threats to national security. “These problems all touch on our nationalities’ fundamental interests and core national interests. On this question there can be no compromise and no concessions,” Hu, the spokesman, said. Hu evaded the question when asked whether China would remove some of its more than 1,000 missiles pointed at Taiwan.

Beijing has claimed Taiwan as its sovereign territory since the Chinese Communist Party won a civil war in 1949 and the Kuomintang fled to the island. It has repeated promises to achieve reunification, by force if needed.

That’s no secret brother.
China has been eating it’s Wheaties and lately they they seem to care who knows.
They are patient,determined and serious about becoming one of the worlds great superpowers and they have the economic and industrial base to back it up.
It could be that they have been biding their time and waiting for a weak President to make a move on Taiwan.
They will watch and see how Obama and a pacifist Congress deals with Iran and North Korea to see if he can be taken advantage of and if they see an opportunity they might go for it.
If they try with Obama in office I wonder if he has the moxy to push back.
I’m not too certain.If Obama won’t even confront Sean Hannity then how will he stand up to the Chinese…?

And then there is that little issue

of all the money the U.S. has been “borrowing” from China. What a cruel twist if we end up having funded the very country that ultimately attacks US!

No!!!11!1!!1!1! The Bilderbergers are coming

Didn't we do that with Japan before WWII?

civil truth (Diary) Friday, February 6th at 11:52AM EDT (link)

Long time ago I recall seeing political cartoons about how we had been trading supplies (steel?) to Japant that they used against us at Pearl Harbor.

Certainly Chinese military hegemony would back up their ability to make sure they get a good return on all the U.S. debt they’re being expect to finance in the stimulus bill (and other huge deficit spending bill coming down the pike).

And I’m sure our newly unionized military forces using our union-built equipment will be able to stand up to them, right? At least so long as fighting is restricted to Monday-Fridays from 10-4, except on any of the 34 Federally-mandated holidays…

The greatest evil…is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern. -C.S. Lewis

And don't forget the trips to get beer while on the union clock

opps. Better not even get me started on the unions.

No!!!11!1!!1!1! The Bilderbergers are coming

 

Let's not forget who gave them their missile and nucleaqr technology.

They gave Bill Clinton a couple of million dollars and the next thing you know we were giving then missile tech from Loral Space.

# China
There is a growing number of accusers saying President Clinton betrayed this country when he allowed massive transfers of American secrets to the Chinese in exhange for illegal contributions to his re-election campaign.
# It was through Bill Clinton’s efforts that the Chinese launched American communications satellites and it was his efforts that made it possible for the Chinese to improve their guidance systems of its rockets and long-range nuclear missles. Until recently, China’s space program was largely a failure … that was until May 2, 1998 when they successfully launched a Chinese Long March 2C rocket carrying two U.S. satellites into space. Their success was made possible by technical assistance from the United States. It should be noted that Bernard Schwartz, the chairman of Loral Space and Communications, one of the firms that sold satellites to the Chinese, was the Democratic Party’s largest contributor in 1996. (cited in “Who sold Red China our ICBM secrets?,” Keith Wilkerson, Christian Crusade, June 1998).

Now we have Bill Clinton’s wife as SoS.We have Clinton’s former chief of staff Leon Panetta in charge of the CIA and another former Clintonite,Rahm Emanuel. as WH chief of staff.Throw in Eric Holder too as AG.

Add to that the the most traitorous,cut and run,self serving,military hating bunch the Congress has seen in a long time and you have a recipe for disaster.

China certainly has no reason to fear the new administration or Congress as they have shown that they have no stomach for war or confrontation.
China and Russia together can keep the U.S. busy with their little agitating surrogates Iran and N.Korea while they do as they please.

I would say there is a 50/50 chance that China might make a play on Taiwan under Obama’s watch.

Obama to cut nuclear arsenal to 1000 warheads. My guess is that they will do it anyway as a sign of good faith to the world.

That will mean no ICBM’s, some bombs for the bombers but most on Trident SSBN’s. But we won’t need all our subs either.

The ballistic missile and SSBN industries will die along with nuclear weapons production. With only 1000 depolyed weapons the Obama administration can keep shuffling old weapons around and pretend they still work but the US, at 1000 weapons, will really have no deterrent force. If the US was faced with a future long term threat it would take decades to depoly a new strategic weapon system.

It will also invite China to seek parity with us at our invitation. Russia is modernizing as well. So Russia and China will have the same aresenal BUT NEWER SYSTEMS, scary stuff!!

But his is the whole plan to make it impossible to use military force of any kind. Then they can turn their attention to domestic enemies like Rush, Hannity and Levin.

Sorry

My first sentence does not make sense. The reduction is under a new START Treaty, so that leads to my second sentence of Obama doing it with or without a treaty.

1,000 missiles....pfffttt.

That’s nothing.Especially if they have stolen missile shield technology like all our other secrets the probably already have.
They’ll swat those down like flies.

Missiles needs satellites.China has been developing satelliter killer technology and EMP weapons to knock incoming missiles.
If the war ever comes it will be an electronic based war.

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn13409-china-presents-possible-space-and-tech-threats-us-says.html

China is developing weapons that would disable its enemies’ space technology such as satellites in a conflict, the Pentagon said in a report released on Monday.

The annual report to the US Congress on Chinese military power also said “numerous” intrusions into computer networks around the world, including some owned by the US government, in the past year seem to have originated in China.

They’re getting ready for something.

The report said the Chinese People’s Liberation Army had developed weapons and jammers to prevent an enemy using space-based systems such as satellites.

“The PLA is also exploring satellite jammers, kinetic energy weapons, high-powered lasers, high-powered microwave weapons, particle beam weapons, and electromagnetic pulse weapons for counterspace application,” it said.

In Vino Veritas

How would we stop them...?

Taiwan is as close to China as Cuba is to the U.S.
For all we know they have a ring of attack subs surrounding it.

They could seize it in just hours.I bet they could have 200,000 troops into Taiwan at a moments notice.
