The White House released the Chinese Military Power Report delayed or hidden secrets

April 15, the United States, “Washington Times” reported that the U.S. Department of Defense submitted to Congress the annual “Military Power” has been delayed for almost 2 months are not available. Because the White House’s National Security Council, Assistant to report they presented revisions. Present report essays engage people are more relaxed attitude to make the report to avoid antagonizing China and the large fees pains.

“China Military Power Report,” each introduced, set off a tide of international public opinion must be large or small, the “China threat theory” wave. Can be said that the contents of the report released into a number of countries accused the Chinese military threat “ammunition.” Therefore, this report has been criticized by the Chinese side, China has adopted various means to pressure the United States, to stop publishing the report.

“Insider” reports that China has been all these years trying to prevent through various channels, “Chinese Military Power Report,” to publish, at least make the text less “killing power”, one of which was established in 2008, “Sanya Initiative. ” According to reports, “Sanya Initiative” the previous Hong Kong Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa and his predecessor, former U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Vice Chairman Owens led some Chinese People’s Liberation Army has been transferred to the former deputy chief of staff, the current “International Strategic Studies,” the President Xiong will take over.

In addition to “Sanya Initiative”, the Chinese continued to recent U.S. release, “Chinese Military Power”, “China Human Rights Report” and other acts of accusations and protests. China’s attitude toward the U.S. aware of the report can only lead to China’s growing conflict.

China-US military exchanges suspended the sanctions involved in arms sales to Taiwan companies to conduct testing of advanced weapons such substantial military build-up measures, the U.S. military and intelligence services are, the more blame on China, the greater the force of China’s military reaction.

Interruption during the military exchanges in the U.S. on the PLA’s situations more difficult place in the Chinese coastal ships, aircraft confrontation crisis more difficult to resolve quickly, easily misfires. U.S. sanctions will directly affect the company is the U.S. domestic economy and employment. The United States has exaggerated the results of China’s military strength is growing all the parties that advanced weapons to China several test out equipment more sophisticated weapons, “expected”, “logical.”

Instead, there are so many released report is not a situation conducive to the United States, which is first proposed the preparation of the “China military power report,” The people did not expect.

U.S. observers believe that the global financial crisis, the United States rely heavily on each other is increasing. Military means other than checking each other in strengthening bilateral relations continued to deteriorate the economy is not conducive to recovery. To extend the military stalemate in the field of economic and trade fields, lead to all-out confrontation, which is the United States at this stage do not want.

Greater threat to confidential version of the report hidden

However, the Chinese people, if this happy, that has affected the United States made war of victory, it seemed too early.

China Military Power Report,” There are two versions, in recent years, people see only the public version, in which data and information are obtained from media reports and public research institutions materials. The main function of the public version of influencing public opinion.

There are many elements, the U.S. military that “not easy” put in the public version. In addition, some content will pull out the U.S. strategy toward China real plot, we can not put in the public version. “Dongfeng -21″ anti-ship missile was classified as confidential version of the content is out of this concern. In recent years, the U.S. military has stressed the People’s Liberation Army’s “anti-intervention” capacity rising, if the public version of this inclusion, the U.S. military report on the more or less related to how to break the “anti-intervention” of the content.

This public opinion against America. The so-called “intervention” is the invasion of another country to carry out military operations in coastal waters as well as the civilization argument, “anti-intervention” is a self-defense, what is not?

This strategy attempts to hide the United States is also true negative. The United States should “anti-intervention” measures to combat the development of more advanced weapons, to ensure the freedom to impose their “intervention.” In the recently released U.S. Department of Defense, “Quadrennial Defense Review,” the report, did not elaborate to say a few words for “global real-time combat”, “one naval and air combat capability,” R & D, then. Behind this is the United States to speed up the development of ten times the speed of sound a few missiles, space weapons, and concealment penetration Navy UAV, and other operational means to ensure at all times against other countries.

In the U.S. view, these things certainly can not put the public version.

It very much doubt, “China Military Power Report,” after all the game participants, the content of these more dangerous but hidden in the secrets edition, continues to affect U.S. military strategy toward China policy. , “All warfare is deception also.” In “Laughter is not grinning,” the tone of the back, “China Military Report,” the China threat has not diminished.

    Reported that, S-400 missile system, in fact, has two missiles, one missile smaller, shorter range (120 km). Although the S-300/400 missile system will not combat experience, but the U.S. intelligence community considers relevant emission tests have shown that a powerful anti-aircraft weapons systems.
