3 26, U.S. Department of Defense’s disregard of repeated warnings and the Chinese government strongly opposed US insight, insisting announced the first nine “Chinese Military Power Report” (hereinafter referred to as the “Report”). United States of its rival the Soviet Union during the Cold War special “treatment” be transferred to stick to the road of peace in China, highlighting its Cold War mentality. In countries seeking peace, promoting cooperation and development of the times, in the countries in financial crisis join hands to overcome difficulties when the mouth, the new government took power in the United States, China-US relations face opportunities for further development when the United States still dished out nothing new, “Chinese Military Power Report,” is completely against the tide, back line of the current situation, which could only damage themselves and others. Report a slight change in the packaging, but the substance of the cliches are still repeated in previous years, no reason to doubt China’s road of peaceful development and national defense, exaggerating the so-called “China military threat theory.”

questioned China’s peaceful development road for no reason

the one hand, the report had to face reality and admit China in the international community’s positive influence and role. The report said: “China has rapidly emerged as a global influence of regional political and economic power, which in the Asia Pacific region and the world is of great significance.” But also for China’s peaceful development prospects pour cold water on that China’s future great “uncertainty”, a number of uncontrollable factors that could cause China’s “peaceful development off the track.” The United States will continue to work with its allies in the region concerned about China’s military development, and adjust strategies.

peace-loving Chinese civilization has always been the tradition. Under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party is the new China inherit and carry forward this tradition, has always advocated the peaceful development and adhere to the implementation of policies. “China’s National Defense 2008″ White Paper once again solemnly declared to the world that China will continue to take the road of peaceful development policy and determination, said: “No matter now or in the future, no matter to what extent, the Chinese are never seek hegemony, engage in military expansion . “The U.S. report completely ignores these facts, the Americans themselves to dominate the powerful logic of the so-called experience, groundless questioned China’s peaceful development. This can only undermine the mutual trust and undermine regional security and stability and world peace.

exaggerating China’s military threat

report claimed that “China’s armed forces has been the development and deployment of disruptive military technologies, including preventing access/area denial , nuclear, space and cyber warfare and other aspects of the technology and capabilities and these areas are changing the military balance, the long-term impact will exceed the scope of the Asia-Pacific region. “reporting that” at the end of this century China will build a modern military force capable of beat the medium level of the adversary. ”

Americans questioned the core of China’s peaceful development is that China constitutes a military “threat.” In fact, if we simply compare China and the U.S. military’s strategic intentions and strength, who is the military threat will be self-evident. From a strategic intent that China unswervingly follows the road of peaceful development, pursues a defensive national defense policy, is committed to safeguarding world peace and stability, which has very clearly stated China’s national defense and army building in the direction of development, while the U.S. pursues global expansion strategy, wanton war in the name of fighting terrorism; from military power, China lags behind the United States. Say the least, even if China’s military strength has increased, that is the reason that it should be. China is so big a country, military development so that some of the aggressive intentions of the country was a bit afraid, be very reasonable.

wantonly distorted China’s military strategy and combat theory

report wantonly distorted China’s “active defense” military strategy, far-fetched to the strategic defense and confused on the offensive operations, and thus will be China’s “active defense” strategy and the U.S. “preemptive strike” strategy par, claiming that China’s “active defense” strategy implies a proactive logic is really a piece of cake speech .

a little common sense to see the military will understand, the U.S. report made three low-level errors: First, the campaign on the initiative as a strategic pre-emptive strike; the second is ambiguous strategy of aggression and positive proactive boundaries; third is to be understood as self-defensive. The reason why the report wantonly distorted China’s “active defense” theory of military strategy and operations, in fact, also for rendering the so-called “China military threat” to find the basis and do everything possible to “prove” that China is developing not only the ability to pose a military threat, and pregnant pose a military threat with the intent. In fact, “China’s National Defense 2008″ White Paper clearly states: “China pursues a military strategy of active defense, insisted on the strategic defensive, the principle of self-defense and striking.” Such a strategy, how might and some country very aggressive pre-emptive strategy the same?

vacuum accused China of military opaque

report claimed that “the development of the international community do not know the PLA military capabilities to enhance the operational theory and the intent and objectives”, The report also said China may be issued a new era in 2006, military strategy, but the content has been unclear. The report also claimed that China’s official defense spending transparent, credible, does not include the development of strategic forces, purchased weapons, military research and development, quasi-military construction and many other important items of expenditure.

China in recent years to enhance military transparency in the unremitting efforts, only a very formal, detailed defense white paper released six straight, to make a more accurate understanding of the international community, the Chinese government also provides free the English version. But the U.S. still continues to criticize China’s strategic intentions and military capabilities and military spending transparent. The report said China’s military strategic principle of “China’s National Defense 2008″ White Paper clearly stated that the information policy is based on winning local wars under conditions; attention to contain the crisis and war; strive to improve the military response to more kinds of security threats and accomplish diverse military tasks; adhere to and develop the strategic thinking of people’s war, and divided into four sections described in detail. Not difficult to understand. As long as the U.S. off their colored glasses, everything can be seen clearly.

jump to comment Taiwan Strait military strength

report claims that since 2000 Taiwan Strait military balance has been moving in the direction conducive to the evolution of continental , mainland China’s military development has been to Taiwan’s security poses new challenges, presumptuous claim in 2008 to ease tensions across the Taiwan Strait to the mainland did not slow down the pace of Taiwan’s military modernization, its threats against Taiwan is increasing, so the U.S. still arms sales to Taiwan.

peaceful development of cross-strait relations, seek common cause of rejuvenating the Chinese nation is the common aspiration of compatriots on both sides. The United States insisted on the improper comments military strength across the Taiwan Strait, some of the U.S. military to meet the tastes of the consortium, but also some of the United States fear the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, China-US relations continue to promote anti-China forces secretly proud. This serious violation of the spirit of the three joint communiques, damage its international reputation can only be shooting itself in the foot.

Chinese saying goes, is called the laughs at himself first. We advise the U.S. side to respect facts, abandon prejudice, correct errors, need to reflect on their words and deeds.
