Military of China, force comment.

Chinese reporters were invited to board the U.S. George Washington ?” aircraft . ? Chinese correspondents in the U.S. George Washington aircraft carrier.

in the eyes of many Chinese people, is located in a small town 65 km southwest of Tokyo, Yokosuka is a very mysterious place, where the guardian of Tokyo Bay by the throat, it has long been the “Japan first naval.” Today this former Imperial Japanese Navy in the heart has become headquarters of the U.S. Navy stationed in Japan, the Chinese people are familiar with the U.S. Seventh Fleet and the only permanent overseas U.S. aircraft carrier “George ? Washington” have settled down here. 66 years after the war, numerous U.S. ships offshore to China starting from Yokosuka mission, “George ? Washington” aircraft carrier last year to go to the Yellow Sea “threat North Korea”, but once the Chinese people angry. In the “Global Times” reporter group to the U.S. to Japan prior to the application submitted to the interview, the carrier has never been in their “home” to open the door to Chinese reporters. August 28, the U.S. military newspaper accidentally received notice, please, “Global Times” reporter on August 31, boarded the ship from China’s recent U.S. aircraft carrier.

suddenly transparent, showing confidence in the U.S.

train from Tokyo to Yokosuka little more than an hour, but the “Global Times” The first mention interview to U.S. warships stationed in Japan a few years have passed today. Went to Japan had more than one interview, “Global Times” reporter group to apply to enter the Yokosuka base, have been rejected. It is understood that, except to the military base exchanges, to wait for outsiders to enter the “partnership with family day” such a public open day, and open objects only Japanese citizens. “Global Times” reporter group located in Okinawa and the U.S. military base in Sasebo City, felt the military restricted area outside the heavily guarded. U.S. military bases often 50 meters outside the gate to cordon off areas with yellow lines on the road to stop vehicles laying insist forcing the barb. In February, Reporters Chiang-feng Futenma U.S. military base in Naha was interrogated in front of the camera. A uniformed Japanese asked to check the reporter’s identity, when he noted that “China’s” nationality and “correspondent” status, immediately call up the intercom: “This is the Chinese people!” He told reporters, “There is often Japanese tourists strayed, we would immediately allow them to leave, but you are Chinese, it is not the same, must be a U.S. military investigation. “

correspondent visited the Yokosuka base has been a Member of Japan assistance, but before he said, is unlikely. Officials responsible for the reception of the Yokosuka base on the “Global Times” reporter that base has never been in such a short period of time, in the non-open days open the door to outsiders, you are allowed to enter the base, and from there board the “George Washington ?” aircraft The first China correspondent. However, the review process in great detail, in addition to age, the domestic address and other personal information into the base of the intent was to be required.

for this first reception, the U.S. military arrangement very formal. In Japan public affairs officer of Naval Command and his two assistants Nai Lande at the gate by car and so on. Reporters had just the car, was told that subject to the provisions of the route to visit the U.S. to get permission to take photographs. Reporters were taken to the first line of Navy headquarters in Japan to explain the base building to listen to Nai Lande power structure and history, followed by Japan’s Self-Defense Force vessels to the parking area photographed. They pass through a hill at Nai Lande said, that there are many tunnels, storage of the base from the United States and other supplies shipped to a variety of materials. The base gives the feel like a country within a country, work area, officers villas, hospitals, soccer fields, facilities, everything, Coca-Cola and other U.S. flags everywhere. Nai Lande said, there were 24,000 U.S. military base personnel and their families, while more than 8,000 Japanese employees. In the reporter’s eyes, these Asian faces appear from time to time, more like a foreigner.

U.S. military ships entering the car parking area, the Seventh Fleet flagship “Blue Ridge” and the amphibious command ship “George ? Washington” a huge gray shadow on the aircraft carrier into the eye. And stopped at the shore directly, “Blue Ridge” is different from the aircraft carrier parked in the fenced off with barbed wire, a special area. Although the reporter take the vehicle license hanging base-specific, but still need to register again to enter the door. Nai Lande, an aide told reporters that he did not before the aircraft entered the region, this time China correspondent soiled light.

According to the official U.S. Navy website, “George ? Washington” August 25 was completed in the Western Pacific on a continuous period of 74 days of sailing. British reporters have seen with the “Ark Royal” light aircraft carrier and the former Soviet Union, “Kiev,” compared to medium-sized aircraft carrier, a displacement of 10 tons of “George ? Washington” gives the feeling of constriction is much greater. The aircraft carrier anchorage like a big construction site, a variety of cranes, carts filled with noise under the hundreds of staff is more than supply right through the hull port and carrier transport materials to the lifting platform.

“George ? Washington” Vice-captain Ken ? Leonard carrier aircraft hangar in the Chinese correspondent, presided over the brief ceremony. He took the initiative, told reporters that the carrier deployment in Yokosuka’s main task is to maintain regional peace. In this line of contact with several U.S. military officers, this point was stressed repeatedly. ? Ken Leonard has showed reporters the carrier hangar, captain reception room, flight deck, the captain and flight deck control room control room five facilities. Throughout the process, the pilots came from the strength of the U.S. Navy vice captain with pride. He said the carrier’s crew can guarantee 12 hours non-stop planes taking off and landing, when necessary, 24 hours of continuous operation.

reporter asked him on the flight deck evaluation of China recently completed sea trials of the aircraft platform, he has “never seen” as an excuse evaded. Last month, his boss, Captain David ? Laosi Man in Vietnam asked the same question, bluntly said the United States hundreds of times every day aircraft carrier landing training, rather than take a floating on the surface of the ship to sea to go about it.

against China, can not seem to avoid

“see your country in that direction.” Out of the carrier, Nai Lande to correspondents to the Gulf of Tonkin River, hand pointing to China. Along the way, “China” is always correspondent with the U.S. military spokesman for the most talked about topic.

arranged lunch at the base, the topic turned to politics from the military. Reporters interview this line Okinawa, Kadena Air Base to a U.S. soldier told reporters the United States and China do not have any issues, and also the deployment base in Japan, is to prevent future outbreak of war. If World War III broke out, China will enter the war, the United States who wish to maintain the advantage, we must first take such military hub in Okinawa. But Nai Lande, told reporters the United States denied the existence of intent to contain China, “we build a base in Yokosuka, the PRC has not yet established, we are here not to contain any country.

but” George ? Washington “represented by the United States,” foreign carrier, “Malaysia” China Daily “has published an article that a large extent, the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group is considered a tool of diplomacy rather than military purposes. very proud of the U.S. Navy’s aircraft carrier fleet, Each time a crisis occurs, the U.S. President’s first question always is, “our closest site of the incident aircraft carrier? “Last November, the two Koreas shelling in the disputed waters of the conflict occurred.” ? George Washington “aircraft carrier battle group immediately went to the Korean Peninsula and waters the British Broadcasting Corporation, commented that the U.S. move is full of the 21st century gunboat diplomacy policy style. Last month, the Vietnamese delegation was invited to visit the “George ? Washington”, the former two hostile countries to embrace the Japanese, “Sankei Shimbun” called to “counter” Chinese carrier.

next 1 hour, reporter and Nai Lande topics covering China’s military buildup, the Sino-Japanese dispute over the Diaoyu Islands, Taiwan and other sensitive areas. He may make a lot of Chinese people sounds uncomfortable. Nailan De repeatedly the reporter asked, what in the end is the development of China’s military intentions, why China must extend out at sea, he believes that China’s military development cast doubt on the “Central Empire” I hope to reconstruct the past of the tributary system, the U.S. military in the Western Pacific The most fundamental task is to maintain balance.

as U.S. military officials stationed in East Asia, he did not understand some of the issues in the region and even reporters surprised. Nai Lande said he did not understand English and other European countries also invaded China, why China has only fond memories of Japanese aggression for the Diaoyu Islands, he said, “China is very far away from the island, far away from Japan.” He believes that the two countries quarrel on this issue something to do with the United States , but if the extreme case of conflict, whether the United States will be involved, he said in a personal point of view, is this.

Although Nai Lande point of view was a bit unhappy, but when he is in the exchange Note the tone and attitude, seem to want more Americans to the Chinese people show frank, he told reporters at the final exchange, if the will, the U.S. Navy stationed in Japan under the command of the base can help to arrange an interview.

shrine is a symbol of Japan’s military as a decorated

walk in the Yokosuka base, some of the remains of the Imperial Japanese Navy, who will often pull into the time tunnel in the United States stationed in Japan Naval Command, a smaller building next to the old building, where 6 is directly under the U.S. Navy stationed in Japan, one of the Yokosuka naval base headquarters building, then there was the old Japanese navy, “Yokosuka guard House” location. hallway side of the building hung portraits of two important admiral, Nai Lande pointed to several 19th century portrait of the Japanese admiral said, they are friends, and next to the Pacific War the Japanese naval officer was what he called “bad guys”.

drove to the port when the time, accompanied by U.S. military press officer specifically to the reporter pointed out that from the late 19th century, built by the old one after another of several Japanese navy dry dock, the old symbol of imperial glory is now in the U.S. military services In the base cafeteria door, the side of the Queen Mother in 1941 to commemorate the visit to the construction of the monument base, on the other side is the Tokyo of the Japanese Navy used to identify the direction, the compass and then bowed to the palace now, carrying a relic of these U.S. military facilities have become irrelevant. Even the Japanese mind is a sacred shrine is also the same fate. Sasebo base in Yokosuka base in the door and the door to some of the shrine was built in the appearance of what this reporter asked Nai Lande special significance, He replied, nothing, just used for decoration.

into the Yokosuka base in front, the reporter had a bar in Okinawa, a U.S. military contact with his attitude of contempt for Japan Reporters surprised. The young officer named Stephen, said the Japanese Self-Defense Forces is very weak in strength, 8 percent of Okinawa and U.S. military bases on the economy, he said, “a few years ago U.S. soldiers in Okinawa rape young girls, they want to drive us out if we really leave, will buy products, they will kneel in front of us said: I beg you, please come home “. ▲
