China hasn’t fighted for 31 years, need to temper the military exercise

Chinese navy to conduct live fire exercises 300x199 China hasnt fighted for 31 years, need to temper the military exerciseChinese Navy is held in the East China Sea during a routine training exercise with live ammunition, from the news release would attract many speculations. Many foreign media that this is against the United States and Han Huanghai military exercises. Chinese Foreign Ministry made a clarification for this purpose. China engaged in military exercises every time, foreign media likes pondering the political implications behind it has become customary.

Exercise in which countries have some political, but as some foreign media as saying the Chinese military exercises every military force against which inevitably engage in some Tai Xiaoqiao PLA military exercise strategic mind the.

China has not fought 31 years of war material, which in the major countries are rare. Peaceful environment on the development of the country is at a premium, but it is easier to become military combat corrosive. People’s Liberation Army officers and soldiers now are not nearly fought, and after a considerable part of the 80 or 90 after the child. In recent years, despite the People’s Liberation Army’s military equipment is struggling to catch up with Western powers, but the fighting has been some speculation.

There is no battle to fight, a new generation of PLA military exercise as needed to combat the grindstone. Compared with the other military powers, the number of China’s military exercises or fewer, or smaller size, have less confrontational. In the future, these need to be strengthened. China in peace, military exercises will be more permanent basis. This is also no need to fuss about the outside world.

Over the past 30 years, the Chinese people’s sense of security is unprecedented. This in no way means that China can from swords into plowshares. The pressure is still very peaceful. Taiwan has not yet unified, separatists often make trouble, always around the unstable. People in the future if China is able to live in peace, work, make the development of China from destruction, we need not only guardian of the clenched hands of the sword, the sword always need to keep sharp, and this requires constant combat exercise to hone.

Born and raised in the cruel war among the People’s Liberation Army, the military equipment behind by circumstances, by experience, courage, and military intelligence to win the final victory. Environment of peace seems today, but threats to contemporary China in fact more complex and diverse, the PLA’s ability to defend the national security requirements higher.

As a big country, China must maintain a strong military. China has never thought of pursuing a par with the United States military power, but at least sufficient to protect their own national interests. To ensure the combat effectiveness of the PLA engaged in military exercises, no need to hide:. Even in the short term, may be some around the “China threat” sound, but sooner or later the world will understand and accept.

High-tech military exercise. Can not include all the elements of modern warfare can not be more like real war, have direct impact on the effect of exercise. How do the soldiers in actual combat exercises have the same life experiences as of now the People’s Liberation Army is not very easy to do.

Quality in the exercise, the gap between the PLA and the United States and Russia, may not be less than in other military equipment gaps. U.S. military far away in front of its exercise is not only a large scale, wide area, to participate in more than arms, but also often have a forward-looking. If the U.S. military has a space war, huh, network storms exercises. This gap, our military needs to catch up as soon as possible.

China is very concerned about the outside world in the past to improve their military feel, this is the good of the modesty and human performance. However, the discussions and some complained that the outside world does not mean that China is really outrageous, because it was pleasant for China’s military power will always be “too strong.” In this regard, we should have a sober judge.

The face of U.S. satellite reconnaissance submarines, Chinese submarines in the surrounding shallow sea “can not hide”

U.S. fast Bird reconnaissance satellite 300x300 The face of U.S. satellite reconnaissance submarines, Chinese submarines in the surrounding shallow sea can not hide“China, more and more difficult to hide a submarine.” According to Hong Kong, “Asia Times” recently reported that the Navy is satellite technology to track the hunter-killer submarine up in China. With this kind of “submarine reconnaissance from space,” the technology matures, becoming transparent sea, submarine operations in the sea will be difficult to cover. Currently, the U.S. Navy anti-submarine satellite is in space and submarine sonar array, sea anti-submarine ships, air anti-submarine aircraft, together constitute the three-dimensional anti-submarine network.

Satellite detection of flow characteristics of corrugated

Traditional means of detecting submarines and surface ships in the deployment of submarine sonar and other equipment, search the submarine cruising the sound issue. However, the U.S. is currently developing “Non-acoustic detection of submarine hunting” projects, mainly focused on laser, infrared, and hunter-killer satellite technology.

Satellite hunter-killer submarine in the main principle is to flow fluctuations caused when cruise to form a wake, the wake of this expansion to the surface, will form larger ripple characteristics. Deployed in satellite synthetic aperture radar can detect ripples of this feature. In addition, the submarine activities may also cause subtle changes in ocean temperature, infrared detection satellites were captured.

In fact, as early as the mid-80s in the last century, the United States had discovered the potential of satellite hunting potential. In 1984, the U.S. Navy oceanographer Paul aboard the “Challenger” space shuttle into space and successfully to detect other submarines of the ripple. “Asia Times,” also revealed that America’s “Challenger” space shuttle has performed anti-submarine missions.

May 14 this year, “Atlantis,” conducted last space shuttle flight, the crew, including Captain U.S. Navy submarine force, U.S. forces may take the opportunity to further test the potential of satellite hunting technology. In the next 18 months, the U.S. military will launch several satellites reconnaissance and surveillance satellite, which does not exclude the satellite used to detect submarines. Analysts believe that the U.S. Navy, U.S. anti-submarine into the satellite network is best for small satellites in formation flying over maritime satellite, they can be many types of detectors from different locations in space to a suspicious point of focus, better detection results.

Russia and Japan is also studying the satellite antisubmarine

According to U.S. military planning, reconnaissance and anti-submarine network should be submarines, surface ships, unmanned underwater boats, maritime surveillance aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with exploration potential to link together as a large “underwater dynamic library” for anti-submarine forces. Currently the U.S. military is also very interested in anti-submarine high altitude airship, the project will be in the Philippines, 10 km to 50 km above the height of the deployment of radar airship to detect from the Philippines to the large area of the Taiwan Strait waters. Today, the U.S. military’s anti-submarine aircraft, anti-submarine ship and submarine sonar arrays and other equipment have formed a more complete three-dimensional anti-submarine network, satellite meant to speed up the deployment of U.S. anti-submarine anti-submarine nets are further improved.

Besides the U.S., Russia in 1991 launched Almaz-1 satellite is a kind of submarine detection satellites, can observe the underwater submarine produced in the wake. This year in April, the Russian Space Systems spokesman Boldyrev said, the company’s research center has developed a new type of satellite that can detect submarines in the deep-sea navigation. Expected that the satellite into space in 2011. Japan has the potential of satellite technology is very interested in hunting in recent years launched a number of advanced remote sensing satellite for submarine surveillance. Recent Japan in cooperation with NASA, a project also is trying to detect buoys and sea reconnaissance network, has obvious anti-submarine intent.

Technology in less than a high alert, but China should

Hunter-killer satellites in the U.S. case, in any country in the satellite detection of submarines under the “exposed.” U.S. Naval War College, Marine Institute, Chinese scholars Bide Da Dayton clear that the activities in the Spratly Islands in northern, eastern and Paracel Islands in southern Luzon Strait is very easy for the Chinese submarine captured. In the East China Sea, Yellow Sea submarine activities are faced with greater challenges, because this sea is very shallow along the coastline from China to Japan Okinawa Trough, most of the waters of the depth of only 54 meters to 109 meters.

At present, China has Asia’s largest submarine force, submarine force growth rate is also second to none in the world. U.S. Navy Intelligence Office in July 2009 released a report that China’s nuclear submarines as noisy, relatively easy to detect. The conventional diesel electric submarine has a good quiet effect, difficult to detect.

Of course, satellite anti-submarine still facing some technical difficulties. Although the satellite can detect the formation of the submarine wake, but not a long time to track. Satellite technology to compensate for the shortcomings of hunter-killer, the U.S. Navy is considering other potential means of hunting and satellite network, forming a large submarine hunting system. China should lead to a high degree of vigilance.

Jane’s said the PLA disarmament in the future of a further 700,000

Janes said the PLA disarmament in the future of a further 700000 221x300 Janes said the PLA disarmament in the future of a further 700,000December 16, 2009 published in the latest issue of British “Jane’s Defense Weekly” published a lengthy Annual Defence Report, this ten-page report by Jane’s of several journalists around the world to work together to complete, according to the geographical distribution of recalling the global events of 2009.

The report refers to Taiwan still hopes to obtain 66 F-16C / D, is also eager to get F-22, F-35 fighters, as well as diesel-electric submarines, the report that the United States to sell Taiwan’s UH-60M “Black Hawk” helicopters, AH-64 ” Apache “attack helicopters and PAC-3″ Patriot “anti-aircraft missiles the prospect of more” optimistic “; the same time, the continent is the procurement system of Ukraine 4 Zubr-class heavy-duty air-cushion landing ship, this type of hovercraft have the ability for potential Taiwan Strait the war, a move designed to “remind” Taipei – the mainland’s military development, the main focus of which still contain the Taiwan Strait area.

In the report “China and China Taiwan” part of the first mentioned, the so-called “China threat” argument may have become in international politics being discussed, one of the most enduring, but Beijing in 2009 to release the information right to quell the controversy plays a minor role.

The report said China’s National Defense White Paper biennial in the January 2009 publication, issued the usual friendly voice: PLA or is being modernized, but this (the outside) no cause for concern, because China’s military planning “the essence of on a purely defensive in nature. ”

The report goes on to say, more meaningful is that the Chinese in March to promote restoration of military ties with the United States (Sino-US military exchanges in late 2008 because the United States arms sales to Taiwan was interrupted), this result is that, in June , a high-level delegation of the United States and China held an important “confidence-building” talks. The talks provided such a hope, that the U.S. Navy near the Chinese waters or in Chinese waters within the existing surveillance activities triggered by the friction will not be allowed to deteriorate to upgrade than the current has been confirmed, “irritability, but in fact harmless” the sea of confrontation to a more dangerous situation.

Jane’s report also said that Beijing’s negotiations on the Korean nuclear issue played the dominant role of positive and encouraged by Governments, China began with the Asian countries held joint military exercises as well, such as with Singapore in June a joint exercise held in Singapore, sent to China to participate in the exercise of armed force.

The People’s Republic of China in October in the 60th anniversary of the National Day military parade on a large scale, showing more than 50 types of new defense equipment to India and China Taiwan region, this is not a complete elimination of concerns for surrounding gesture. On display in the parade in new equipment, including a DH-10 land attack cruise missiles and KJ-2000 airborne early warning and control (AEW & C) aircraft, while the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) of new H-6K bombers, cruise missiles have been the first time in August appearance, ZTD-05-type amphibious assault vehicles, ZBD-09 type 8 × 8 and ZBD-03 infantry combat vehicles, airborne vehicles and other equipment type in the parade for the first time appearance, which is essentially the rise of China’s military power The frankly expose.

The report mentions, with the National Day military parade at the same time, the PLA is also considering streamlining of personnel on the large, which is a long-term plan to modernize and professionalize the military part of the next few years, the PLA 2.185 million active duty troops, will cut more than up to 700,000 troops.

The Chinese government has made early in 2009 decided to send naval contingent to help patrol the Somali waters, which is another significant gesture, a friendly against China “camp,” it may appear that the Chinese navy in the Pacific waters of the The first initiative outside the mission, which is increasingly becoming a responsible interests of the participants and made a welcome step, but in some anxious observers of it, this is to build blue-water fleet, potentially instability (factors) step.

Jane’s report also mentions China’s Jiangnan Shipyard, the new facilities that are to begin construction of the Chinese Navy’s aircraft carrier and the preparatory work was done apparently, even though this project has not yet been officially confirmed; also reported that China’s national Navy continues to negotiate with Russia about purchasing a batch of Su -33 fighter aircraft equipped with. According to the news from Moscow, China is still considering a (purchase) an advanced Russian-made Su -35 fighter aircraft, while the People’s Liberation Army Air Force’s senior commanders, said China’s own fifth generation fighter will join the military service in 8-10 years.

The report then referred to China’s military spending. Jane’s said that, regardless of what was intended by Beijing, China’s defense spending continue to be the same significant rate, the defense budget in 2009 increased by 14.9%, reaching 70.4 billion U.S. dollars, although U.S. analysts believe that the real value than this a figure higher.

The stability of the Taiwan Strait for many years and is very similar to China Taiwan region by the KMT in power, an increase of cross-strait relations and mutual trust. Jane’s also mentioned that China is purchasing four Ukrainian system Zubr-class heavy-duty air-cushion landing ship, hovercraft capable of this type for a possible war across the Taiwan Strait, Taipei, mainland China’s military development is a reminder of the major concerns which still contain the Taiwan Strait.

The Bush administration late in 2008, the last action is to freeze arms sales to Taiwan, thus, worth 6.4 billion extension of the arms sales, in 2009, the United States, one of the new government’s first move is to reiterate the United States “and the Taiwan Relations Act “in the” obligations. ” With the enhancement of Sino-US relations, the U.S. government in the attitude of the Chinese point of view increasingly sensitive, the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton find it necessary to reaffirm the United States in February will continue to support “Taiwan’s defense.” Soon after, the U.S. Navy confirmed that 2013 will be transferred to Taiwan 12 refurbished Lockheed – Martin companies produce go P-3C Orion anti-submarine patrol aircraft.

Jane’s report also mentioned that the Taiwan authorities in March announced the Quadrennial Defense Review, QDR, said it still hoped to obtain 66 F-16C / D fighter aircraft, but also eager to get F-22 fighter aircraft (currently the United States banned the export of this type of aircraft) , F-35 “Lightning II” or European “Typhoon” fighters, and would like to obtain diesel-powered submarines.

New type of aircraft and submarines, the hope to obtain a smaller, but sold to Taiwan companies produce go Sikorsky UH-60M “Black Hawk” multi-functional helicopter, Boeing’s AH-64 “Apache” attack helicopters and PAC-3 “Patriotic by “air defense missile systems are more optimistic about the prospects. Taiwan is also expressed in May to obtain Lockheed – Martin Corporation produced C-27J transport aircraft will. Under the “Quadrennial Defense Review,” Taiwan will also be downsizing the armed forces in 2015 to maintain the size of 210.5 thousand.

America Organization released the report of the world’s nuclear weapons – Said the Chinese nuclear distribution in 14 locations

Chinese nuclear distribution in 14 locations America Organization released the report of the worlds nuclear weapons   Said the Chinese nuclear distribution in 14 locations

Federation of American Scientists and the Natural Resources Defense Council recently released annual report of about 23300 nuclear warheads, deployed in 14 countries, 111 facilities. The report said China’s nuclear warheads is about 240, distributed in the 8-14 facility in the country, but they may not have all entered the operational deployment of the state.

Reported that there are around 23300 nuclear warheads, deployed in 14 countries, 111 facilities, of which nearly half of the warheads and their delivery can be fired in a short time with the deployment of weapons systems.

Reported that some Russian nuclear weapons storage facilities in 48 permanent, mostly for the storage of actual combat deployment of state of nuclear weapons. In addition, when nuclear weapons were transferred to other permanent storage facilities, the number of temporary storage facilities will also be used for storage of nuclear weapons. Ten years ago, Russia has some 90 nuclear weapons storage facilities, while prior to 1991 is up to 500, indicating the Russian nuclear weapons storage facilities have been greatly consolidated.

The report notes that the minimum distance between the Russian storage facilities, and close to the densely populated area. For example, the Saratov region will be deployed around a missile division, a strategic bomber base, as well as one or store more than 1000 nuclear warheads, state-level storage facilities.

Reported that the U.S. nuclear weapons deployed in 13 states and five European countries, 21 facilities. With a decade ago, 24, 50 at the end of the Cold War, and in 1985 to 164 compared to the U.S. nuclear storage facilities has also been a significant consolidation.

Nuclear weapons storage facilities in Europe and the United States mainland rather, nuclear weapons deployed in seven countries, including France in the seven storage facilities as well as British territory four storage facilities. Five non-nuclear NATO countries (Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey) are still deployed in the territory of the United States during the Cold War the first deployment of nuclear weapons there.

The report estimates that China has a 8-14 related to nuclear weapons storage facilities, it may be related to a small number of China’s military for the deployment of nuclear missiles or aircraft closer to the base. The report holds that China’s Central Military Commission, under the control of nuclear weapons and carrying weapons storage facility, independent of platform, storage, and was not all entered the operational deployment of the state.

The report said Israel may have four nuclear storage facilities. Although so far on India’s and Pakistan’s nuclear storage facilities in a number of rumors, but the exact number remains uncertain. It is believed that the three countries of nuclear warheads and nuclear weapons delivery platform is stored separately.

Although North Korea has conducted two nuclear tests, but also on the North Korea nuclear weapons are also quite a lot of rumors, but the report said that so far there is no evidence that North Korea has nuclear capability.

The report notes that the density of nuclear warheads between countries varied. Russia in the 48 facilities, there are 13,000 nuclear warheads deployed an average of 270 stocks each place. Higher density storage of nuclear warheads the United States, with an average storage of 450 each place. However, the report stressed that this is only average, it is believed the actual distribution of nuclear warheads is very uneven, a number of storage locations or storage of thousands of nuclear warheads.

Russia accused Georgia uses UAV to violate Abkhaz airspace

According to the Russian news report in time, led a delegation to participate in Geneva talks on security issues outside the Caucasus region, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Karasin November 11 announced that the recent violations of Georgia’s unmanned aircraft in Abkhazia and South Ossetia again, airspace, In the above-mentioned countries have not been widely recognized over the international flights, indicating that the above-mentioned situation in the region remains unstable.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister said that Moscow does not agree to confirm the talks partners, Georgia and South Ossetia, as well as the border area between Georgia and Abkhazia, the situation has stabilized point of view. Karasin said: “In fact, the situation is not entirely true. (Georgia), unmanned aircraft have begun flying over South Ossetia and Abkhazia. This is the danger signs that official Tbilisi has not yet abandon the use of use of force to resolve the problem of Abkhazia and South Ossetia attempt. However, apart from Russia and South Ossetia are convinced that beyond the participants in the talks, the recent Georgia and South Ossetia between Georgia and Abkhazia, as well as The border region has become stable. ”

Prior to the Russian Federation Armed Forces Chief of Staff of Makarov on the evening of November 10 announced that Georgia continues to be outside the large quantity of weapons and equipment supply, its military potential, has now been well over a year ago. But he did not think the United States supplied weapons to Georgia directly, Makarov, said: “The Americans have no direct supply of arms, if there is supply, so that may also be through other people’s hands.”

China in the South China Sea, the deployment of anti-ship missile early warning radar

Sea based early warning radar 300x192 China in the South China Sea, the deployment of anti ship missile early warning radarRecently, the East Asia and Southeast Asia, one of the most influential think-tank, Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, Rajaratnam School of International Studies, published a report entitled “the power of the ever-changing distribution of the South China Sea: the impact of treatment and to avoid conflict,” the report . The report detailed analysis of the South China Sea neighboring countries in recent years, the balance of power changes, claiming that China’s Nansha Islands YONGSHU reefs deployed within a type known as the J-17C radar for the state to provide early warning capacity; still Paracel Islands within the Yongxing Island of the anti-ship cruise missile installations to establish and support China’s cause of fighting naval military operations in the Nansha Islands in the front line post.

Nanhai People’s Liberation Army to deploy J-17C radar warning capabilities to enhance

The report notes that in Asian countries, China’s military power is no doubt among the brightest and best. Although the eighties of the last century, China deeply the pain of budget and isolated, but since the nineties of the last century, China’s military modernization began, the navy to expand the scope of logistics support. Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, the annual report issued in 2007 and even China as Asia’s number one, ranked fourth in the world – after the United States, Britain and France – the country’s arms procurement.

The report said, and now the focus of China’s border defense to switch from the transfer of land and sea combat capability has significantly increased. Downsizing forces on the ground at the same time, China’s naval power projection capabilities have been significantly increased. Their procurement of new weapons systems, adjust the structure of the armed forces, from the Russian destroyers and submarines purchased to improve its South China Sea Fleet’s amphibious warfare capability. The seventies of last century, the South China Sea Fleet is a fleet strength of the weakest, twenty years later, it’s strength even in the absence than other fleets, but also with the other fleet is already flat.

The Chinese Navy is continuing to expand its conventional submarine capabilities (Song-class and Yuan-class, and Kilo-class submarines), and further develop its small-scale nuclear-powered submarines. At present, it has purchased, including Russian-built “modern” class, including a large number of destroyers and frigates. In 2006, the U.S. Defense Department assessment that the Chinese navy has about 75 major surface warships, 55 attack submarines and 50 amphibious ships. In 2009, the U.S. Defense Department assessment that China had about 26 destroyers, 51 frigates, 58 diesel-electric submarines, and eight nuclear-powered submarines.

In addition, the report also said China is also increasing their contribution to the South China Sea the reef, the island of control. It has to consolidate the Navy’s Mischief Reef and other islands in the United States military facilities, equipped with air defense and naval guns, as well as helipads. In addition, China’s Nansha Islands in Yongshu reefs deployed a J-17C radar for the state providing early warning capability. It is reported that China is still within the Yongxing Island Xisha established anti-ship cruise missile installations. The report said, China will Yongxing Island in the Nansha Islands as to support its military operations inside the front post, the island’s runway has been lengthened.

The report notes that the Chinese navy is also in Sanya, Hainan Province, the construction of underground nuclear submarine base. The base can accommodate up to 20 nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers and other power projection vessels, can greatly enhance China’s strategic presence in the South China Sea and the military. This projection of China’s military power or control to the South China Sea area is particularly important in this piece. Territorial disputes with China, the existence of national and Japanese submarine in the South China Sea, China is very concerned about the increased activity, while the Chinese submarine is precisely the increased activity of U.S. naval forces in the region and the existence of a challenge. In addition to the Chinese navy’s operations, there are reports that China is a large-scale construction of new coastal patrol vessels. Related reports pointed out that the class coastal patrol ship equipped by the paramilitary groups, used to patrol the South China Sea.

Report points out that, obviously, China’s military buildup in the South China Sea is not only used to avoid or eliminate use of force (if necessary) any violation of its territorial sovereignty of disputed areas, other push factors include the building of the Chinese Navy to protect China’s maritime security, to ensure that their economic prosperity and energy supply, but to do these things need to protect sea lines of communication in Southeast Asia (the Straits of Malacca and Singapore Strait, the Sunda Strait and the Lombok Strait), and the South China Sea for the transport routes. In the past few years, as China’s crude oil transport vessels rushed to the increase in transportation volume has increased rapidly. Therefore, the South China Sea, where possible outbreak of conflict in the Taiwan Strait, the importance of the public should also be noticed. Of particular note, the Beijing government will now set his sights on a naval blockade strategy, which is intended to limit short-term U.S. military can provide assistance to Taiwan beyond the sea.

The report said, despite the growing Chinese military power, but access to new technology, China still needs some time to these technologies into the army of existing technologies. In addition, China does not have the waters far from land bases within the ongoing operations. Moreover, the Chinese right now do not have the strength of the aircraft carrier battle groups could be projected. However, according to a Chinese senior military officer said the People’s Liberation Army to build a future aircraft carrier. In November 2008, the Chinese Ministry of National Defense Foreign Affairs Office In an interview with Major General Qian Lihua, “Financial Times” interview, said that any of the Navy a big country dreams of one or more of the aircraft carrier has. It is worth noting that, the South China Sea Islands, the majority of islands are too small, can not become a base for further development of naval operations. As a result, control of the South China Sea is China’s sea lines of communication may be advantages of the Asia Pacific region the only way to the sea. Therefore, it should be controlled to produce only limited military zones Keys and control maritime communications lines and different look. Obviously, the latter are more strategic significance.

South China Sea tilt the balance of power is shifting in China

Nevertheless, in order to understand the changes in the South China Sea countries military strength, it is necessary from the relative value of the intentions and the possible role of the armed forces on the evaluation. Compared with the Southeast Asian countries, China does have a significant military advantage, but this advantage is still growing. For example, China has the region’s largest submarines, and fighter force. This is so that the construction of nuclear submarine base on Hainan Island’s move to the response to the South China Sea disputes are becoming very important.

Moreover, the report also said that construction of the South China Sea Fleet is also the focus of attention of other Southeast Asian countries, although the fleet-building process step by step – because the activities of the fleet’s geographical area is the South China Sea should be logical. In those from China in the Spratly Islands in the action feel threatened countries, Vietnam and the Philippines, the feelings of the most obvious. At present, the South China Sea tilt the balance of power is shifting in China, which could have a direct conflict in the South China Sea will have strategic impact: its will to suppress debate on Paracel Islands may also be in the escalating dispute over the Nansha Islands to take action.

Reported that, at this stage, even as Vietnam’s most powerful nation in Southeast Asia and do not have to compete with China’s military strength. At present, insufficient to support Vietnam’s sea power in the South China Sea will. However, since the mid-20th century, 90 years, Vietnam began its navy and air force modernization. This year in April, the Vietnamese government announced that its likely to purchase six Russian-made, “Kilo” class submarine. Moreover, Vietnam is expected to build its naval aviation capabilities to enhance its naval forces. Nevertheless, Vietnam is still the old platform, and the lack of funds and other problems.

However, the report continued to state that the existence of territorial dispute with China in other countries the situation worse than Vietnam. The Philippines, for example, although the Philippine Government’s efforts to modernize its armed forces and upgrade its equipment, but the Philippine naval and air forces are still weak. However, the naval forces in the region of the country’s most ill-conceived course ought to Brunei. To date, the Brunei Government has yet to establish any military presence in the Spratly Islands, nor to any declaration of sovereignty. However, Brunei has also begun to upgrade its military equipment. Finally Malaysian navy construction relatively smoothly. With other Southeast Asian countries, Malaysia is also trying to enhance its naval forces – in September of this year, Malaysia’s purchase of the first ships French “Scorpene” class submarines.

Reported that, in addition to the relative military weakness, the Southeast Asian countries received foreign military aid did not help them balance China’s influence in the South China Sea. In this case, the only counterbalance China’s military capabilities and perhaps only the United States, especially in Japan, Hong Kong, the U.S. Seventh Fleet in Yokosuka. However, the U.S. Government has repeatedly stressed that, with the Philippines in August 30, 1951 signed the “Philippine-US Mutual Defense Treaty” did not involve the sovereignty of the Philippines declared areas. Moreover, although since July 11, 1995 United States and Vietnam established diplomatic ties, bilateral relations have greatly improved, but so far not been in Vietnam and the United States to establish formal or tacit alliance. Moreover, whether or not to establish the actual alliance with Vietnam, Washington has so far remained reluctant involvement in Vietnam’s territorial disputes.

In this regard, the report’s analysis, the United States was reluctant to neighboring South China Sea to provide assistance in these countries not to abandon this strategic area, but because of reluctant involvement in the issue of jurisdiction. Although the United States has been closely following the development of South China Sea, but consistently limit its maintenance in the South China Sea, the extent of freedom of navigation and the Seventh Fleet mobility. Therefore, it is not clear that if the South China Sea conflict, the United States will provide Taiwan or the Philippines, to what extent help.

Taiwan said after October last year, the People’s Liberation Army forces once again to strengthen Taiwan

Taiwans military annual National Defense Report 300x197 Taiwan said after October last year, the Peoples Liberation Army forces once again to strengthen TaiwanOctober 20, Taiwan’s military scheduled the annual publication “National Defense Report” (hereinafter referred to as “the Report”). As cross-strait relations in the Ma Ying-jeou “government” After taking office, becoming relaxed, “the report” the extent to attract the eye gradually lower. Nevertheless, this “red tape” shown by some of the new content and new formulation, or by the media attention.

A comic version of boosting military service reform

According to Taiwan’s “Defense Ministry”, the new “report” as early as the work of codification had already started in September last year, during which the Taiwan authorities Distinguished scholars, retired generals and media practitioners, etc. A total of 31 people as “advisory member “, after festivals worldwide review of the guide, before at the end of last month by Ma Ying-jeou presided over a military meeting were finalized. Although the horse “president,” I have not made their usual order, but the substance of the report is not vague, the main part by the “Facing the Challenges,” “forward-looking innovation” and “create an opportunity to” three major sections, and further broken down 8 chapters also have their own focus.

Compared to the contents of the new “report” the change more reflected in the form. For the purpose of attracting the people, the Taiwan military has deliberately changed the schedule this year, practices, hopes to illustrated the way, so that the original blunt become refined and more readable reports. It is reported that they invited the island’s well-known text editors and art staff, designed for “report” polish.

For now, Taiwan’s military service system reform has entered a critical stage in order to replace the existing compulsory military service mercenary objectives, is expected to be basically completed in the next five years. As the echo, the new “report” also to “build Taiwan’s military elite – mercenary” for discussion axis. Moreover, the publishing units also let out early, the report said it would adapt to be able to carry a color comic book available for sale to help more school-age youth about the “national defense” to attract them to join the army.

However, starting on the 20th day of the ceremony, outside of the most anticipated comic version “report” has no trace, in accordance with the explanation given by the military will be delayed one week of its listing is to prevent the media “out of focus”, the report care taken in meeting the main demand unavoidable.

The first to mention the establishment of cross-strait military trust

Relative to the increasingly heated exchanges between politicians and civil society, Taiwan’s military has been playing in cross-strait issues conservative role. This year’s “report” Despite the increase in Taiwan’s how to participate in disaster relief like the motions of sexual content, but the mainland’s military development and Taiwan’s “anti-system” means the subject of the length is still continued to account for the bulk.

Taiwan’s “Defense Minister” Gao Hua-chu, in the preamble stated that “In view of the mainland’s military threats have not been lifted, Taiwan should remain vigilant, and build a ‘tenacious defense and effective deterrence’ force.” Moreover, “the report” also judged that the Taiwan, mainland China will not reduce troop strength in the recent past, its release of all the gestures of peace signal, will actually weaken the military’s combat, “so difficult to resist our ability to turn up without a fight enemy’s military intentions.”

Should be affirmed that the new version of “report” the first time an explicit reference to the establishment of cross-strait military mutual trust mechanism (CBM) content, referred to as “related issues has been fermented,” Taiwan’s military would be prudent, pragmatic and progressive approach to be gradual promotion. As a prerequisite to establish such a mechanism, “the report” will be its best summarized as “the establishment of communication hotlines,” “Code of Conduct and other standards to make the Straits” and “restrictions on the deployment of special forces and military activities” three measures.

“The report” On the one hand accused the mainland “does not abandon the use of force against Taiwan”, on the other hand intends to promote cross-strait military mutual trust mechanism, whether the two contradictory? In response, Taiwan’s “Defense Ministry” War Planning Secretary Li Ximing vague in their statements, he said, military mutual trust mechanism is the “national security” plan, “we can do is stand in a framework, the planning can be done part of the . ”

Accept the reality of military comparison

For Taiwan’s military, the regular publication of the “National Defense Report” to the public to express its position on the carrier concentration, therefore, often codified in the report disclosed a variety of so-called military insider, not only as playing up “China military threat “, but also an additional arms purchases for their own rally.

The latest “report” also Pu Liu said the United States announced in October last year, military sale to Taiwan, the PLA, “Second Artillery Corps,” and the armed forces, namely, the continued implementation of its missile tests and increase the aircraft cruising at sea to conduct joint air defense drills, adjust the air deployment of troops, and the grouping of cross-fleet activities in the waters east of Taiwan, and even large-scale firepower demonstration and joint exercises, “deliberately Taiwan military activities to improve strength and pressure.”

In accordance with the Taiwan military’s statement that it is a series of protest against U.S. arms sales approach is to Taiwan before the presidential election last year substantially mobilizations deterrent to Taiwan, the mainland once again, large-scale policy of “angry” and also the first time after Ma Ying-jeou came to power “Xiama Wei.”

In addition, the cross-strait military balance clearly tilted to the momentum of the mainland, Taiwan’s “Defense Ministry” is no longer taboo. “The report” points out that, in the military preparations against Taiwan, the PLA already have attacked part of the Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia’s strategic deterrent capability of military bases, so that foreign military intervention in the Taiwan Strait concerns increase. Not only that, due to the increasing diversification of the PLA with Taiwan means of attack, you can use ballistic missiles, airborne precision guided weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles with the operations, fire cover all of Taiwan, so Taiwan’s defense more difficult.

As cross-strait relations in the Ma Ying-jeou “government” After taking office, becoming relaxed, “the report” the extent to attract the eye gradually lower. Nevertheless, this “red tape” shown by some of the new content and new formulation, or by the media attention.
