Global Times, August 17, entitled” U.S. expert assessment US-South fighting force, “the article reads as follows:

U.S. Secretary of State for the recent Hillary Clinton in Hanoi, Vietnam” issued by the South China Sea and the United States related matters “of speech, the United States Claremont Institute Senior Fellow 马克赫尔普Lin 15 in the “Wall Street Journal,” comments that the United States who rashly challenges the strength of China’s core interests of the incompetent, must be regarded as Chinese “paper tiger deterrent” if the outbreak of war in the South China Sea. United States is likely doomed to failure.

in the article, Hull Princeton to Hillary’s speech at the ASEAN Regional Forum as “frivolous” because she Vietnam, the Philippines and China has issued the neighboring countries of the South China Sea dispute unrealistic defense alliance initiative, lack of strength to support such initiatives, and China has always been such a “paper tiger deterrence” is very sensitive, once China’s “paper tiger” challenge, at the gates of the military conflict to achieve military superiority is very possible.

Princeton, Hull said that the U.S. did with unmatched military power, but the South China Sea, the strategic issues of political, economic, military, geographical and other aspects, not purely military decision. For example, he said, not the size of half a century ago the Chinese Navy and the U.S. Navy’s 1/10, there is no full sense of the nuclear weapons (ICBMs by 1980 was successfully tested), at a time when the Western Pacific had become a “United States of lakes”, filled with U.S. military bases and facilities. However, such a disparity in the strength of the case, the Chinese army to force the United States ended the Korean War. In Vietnam, the United States is afraid of China’s accession to finally withdraw. And now the U.S. military facilities in the region are being given up, “big stick” has lost its force Qi.

Hull Princeton that, from a purely military perspective, China’s main military advantage in the South China Sea in its land-based air and naval forces, its airports and ports along the coast is the force multiplier. Because the United States in the forefront of the South China Sea does not have enough military power, once the war made the United States will have to fight at the airports and ports in China, which would mean the outbreak of the Sino-US full-scale war.

Another alternative is the United States and its allies with China’s large aircraft, submarine base to fight a war of attrition, but the problem is U.S. allies around the South China Sea, naval and air forces are not worth mentioning, they also fear of Chinese retaliation, may not dare to side with the U.S. so the U.S. is difficult to get air base from these countries will have to adjust much to the South China Sea aircraft carrier battle group support. Even so, the United States to deploy up to only 350 fighters, but they will be facing off shore from mainland China four times or five times has the Chinese fighters, which will also include performance similar to the U.S. F-22′s Chinese 5th generation fighters. Although the U.S. nuclear submarine to destroy a large number of Chinese submarines, navy and air force in the joint fight against China, the U.S. aircraft carrier is bound by the Chinese anti-ship ballistic missiles hit.

Moreover, China well placed in the South China Sea. Distance operations and supply is essential. Paracel Islands from the east coast of the United States naval base in Norfolk, about 1.4 million miles away from the base of the west coast of San Diego, about 8,000 miles from Pearl Harbor, 6000 miles from Guam, 2300 miles, but the South China Sea Fleet from bases in only 200 miles. Moreover, the Guangzhou Military Region, the South China Sea Fleet, and there are many scattered bases, it is difficult being fully pre-emptive U.S. military attack. Hull Princeton believes that the current Air Force and Second Artillery of China in the nuclear strike force in rapid progress, while the U.S. has followed a downward path in. Hillary recent bellicose rhetoric is bound to provoke China to speed up its pace with the strength of the guaranteed benefits.

was born in 1947 马克赫尔普 forest is well-known American reporter and conservative critics. May 17, Hull Princeton in the “Wall Street Journal,” the author predicts that the U.S. military in the Western Pacific region lacked adequate naval and air forces, the future of Taiwan will eventually accept the rule of mainland China, the United States in the Western Pacific and the Union will crumbling, “Japan, Korea and Southeast Asian countries and even Australia have some sort of agreement with China, the United States to cancel its domestic military bases.” Hull Princeton, warned: “If the U.S. do not wake up, waiting for the United States, the result will be devastating.” (Roshan Love)
