U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq 300x192 U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq, may imminent attack on Irans nuclear facilitiesRecently, on the withdrawal of all U.S. combat troops from Iraq, the Israeli media, former U.S. Undersecretary of State John Bolton Doulou out the amazing words: “Israel has ’8 days’ time to launch a military strike against nuclear facilities in Bushehr, Iran, Tehran to stop nuclear power plant operation. “His words immediately stirred a global outcry. In fact, the United States to prove safety has long been Iran’s already planning ahead, the U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq and pave the way for the attack on Iran.

    The United States for 30 years in Iran as a hard blow against the soft foundation

Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the United States began sanctions and blockade of Iran has so far lasted 30 years, U.S. and Iraqi military strength is already one-sided.

Seriously undermine the sanctions and blockade of Iran’s war machine. Sanctions against Iran is not limited to the nuclear field, the U.S. has expanded sanctions on Iran’s industry, finance and other fields, aims to weaken Iran’s economic and military strength. Today, the United States to mobilize more and more tight sanctions against Iran. June 9 this year, the UN Security Council started a new round of sanctions against Iran, the prohibition against the export to Iran of all countries of tanks, fighter planes and warships and other heavy weapons against Iranian ballistic missile development and participation in international nuclear content in the field of investment , also listed in the annex to the resolution would be to freeze assets of more than 40 Iranian economic entity.

In addition, the United States, the European Union and Australia also unilaterally impose more severe sanctions, leading to Iran’s key industrial technology and equipment for lack of weakening the war machine. The most obvious is a major oil producing countries as Iran, but also heavily dependent on imported gasoline; Iran aviation industry is still using the old Russian-made map -154 models, leading to frequent air crashes. As a result, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard’s weapons and equipment behind, still in the mechanized and semi-mechanized state of the combat effectiveness of the slow process of modernization, the U.S. military has the technological advantages of non-symmetric.

In addition, the United States also strongly support the Iranian opposition. The United States and Iran share a common language of the opposition is against the Iranian regime. In 2007, the Bush Administration has allocated 75 million U.S. dollars to support the Iranian opposition’s “democratic transition.” Obama was raised to support the Government of Iran of human rights and national freedom of voice, to find ways to support the Iranian opposition in the green movement. Radio Monte Carlo, according to French reports, in July last year, the U.S. Senate passed the “Bill to support the victims of Iran’s check,” millions of dollars allocated to support the Iranian opposition, the Iranian government on the opposition to break the news, communication and networking, etc. suppression. During Iran’s presidential election, supporters of the Iranian opposition leader Moussaoui repeatedly launched protests. These forces will subvert the Iranian regime the United States after the administrative team.

At the same time, the United States has completed the military siege on Iran. Since the Gulf War, the United States has step by step to complete the encirclement of Iran. Surrounding areas in Iran, the United States through the Gulf War, the “defender of peace and stability,” the identity of Tuen Army Kuwait; they use “9.11″ to “protection against terrorism,” as control of Afghanistan; the war in Iraq, to “overthrow the dictatorship of the liberator” status occupation of Iraq, together with allies Saudi Arabia and Israel to help secretly helped out, basically completed surrounded on three sides of Iran.

At present, around Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Turkey, Qatar, Oman and the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia and other U.S. military bases were. Ride in the Persian Gulf, “Eisenhower” was, “Stanislav” number and “Bataan” aircraft carrier battle group in the Indian Ocean, “boxer” was a helicopter carrier battle groups in the Arabian Sea, “Charles de Gaulle” aircraft carrier battle group, has formed a military strike against Iran’s pre-deployment. In addition, the Diego Garcia U.S. military has also deployed a new “Ohio”-class missile submarines, and hundreds of pieces of “bunker bombs.” Once the needs of about two weeks you can focus on three aircraft carrier battle groups, from the east, south and west sides direct attack.

  U.S. to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities is ready to fly together

This year in July, the Israeli series of sending senior officials to lobby the United States, urged the United States for its military action against Iraq a “green light.” Analysts believe that as Iran’s major nuclear facilities were reinforced, and are hidden in the ground or the mountains, may not be a unilateral Israeli raid in the United States to the possibility of joint is relatively large.

Various indications, the United States to combat drill ready. Recently, the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff claims to have developed operational plans against Iran, while Israel opened an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities shelf. In fact, Israel has already held several attacks against Iranian nuclear facilities secret exercise. This year in June, Israel sent more than 100 fighters lasted three days, held a large-scale military exercises. According to the British “Times” on June 12 disclosure, Saudi Arabia has agreed to the northern Israeli warplanes to use its air corridor, bombing Iranian nuclear facilities, which will significantly reduce the range of Israeli warplanes.

In fact, the United States to a greater advantage is well aware of Iran’s military. According to the Associated Press June 22 Xinhua, Israel launched a named “Horizon -9″ spy satellites, in order to enhance the surveillance capabilities of Iran and other countries. Department of Defense said in a statement: “Horizon -9″ high-resolution satellite camera can distinguish between carrying out ground missiles and launchers, the satellite will orbit the earth has been running the other two “Horizon” series of spy satellites operating synergies and strengthen sensitive region covering a large area. Can be said that the United States and Israel have launched a surveillance operation against Iran before the war.

When the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group entered the Persian Gulf a big way, the United States against Iran has opened a “second front.” Iran’s border areas are complicated ethnic and sectarian, ethnic separatist forces and the existence of anti-government militants. The United States has already publicly funded to provide these guerrilla arm to stir up civil strife in Iran. Among them, the United States strongly supports “the PKK” guerrilla arm, “Allah Brigade” and “People’s Mujahideen” have to regard them as U.S. interference in Iran’s strategic pawn. In recent years, occurred several times in Iran for military and senior government officials in the assassinations, bombings, fully reflecting the hostile forces in Iran have shown a sharp rise. In response, Fred Burton, former U.S. State Department official said bluntly: “The recent attacks took place in Iran and the United States through assistance and training to armed groups in Iran to undermine the efforts of the Iranian regime is the same.”

At the same time, the United States has also completed a deal with missile attacks on Iran’s anti-missile defense deployment. Past few years, Israel and Lebanon, “Hezbollah” military conflict, the United States stepped up its anti-missile system in Iran is advancing around the deployment of missile defense base attempt in the Middle East Dajian prevent Fanyi Lang hit because of its nuclear facilities and “Shoot the Neighbor . ” According to military experts, the Pentagon revealed that there are four Gulf Arab countries agreed to accept U.S. ground-based “Patriot -3″ missile defense system, namely, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait. Within these four countries, a total of 8-air missile launchers deployed position, can be “effective short-range surface-to-down launch of Iran.” Saudi Arabia and Israel in the region already has a more advanced air missile defense system. U.S. military officials said the land has been formed in the Middle East region more multi-dimensional, “Patriot” air missile defense deployment, sea-based aspects of the U.S. “Aegis” warships offshore in Iran also stepped up patrols in the campaign level .

    The international community should take the new situation and are prepared to deal with the Middle East

The next war breaks out, not only Iran and the Middle East is bound to be a strong shock, and will lead to a series of international chain, a number of countries will not be consciously involved in the war. Today, disaster-ridden history of the war in Iraq taught us lessons of the international community need to make the new situation and are prepared to deal with the Middle East, strategic preparation, or they will repeat the same mistakes.

Here, we must first prepare for war with a vast new humanitarian disaster. History has repeatedly proved that war almost always caused serious humanitarian disaster. Oxford Research Group on July 15 issued a “military strike against Iran: the extent and effects of” report that the war between Iran and Israel is inevitable, but war will last long. As to who wins and who loses, the report that the civilians would be the biggest losers. Responsible for writing the report, Paul Rogers has been surprisingly accurate prediction of the course of the war in Iraq in early 2003, he wrote, “Iraq: the consequences of military strikes,” the report, that “the U.S. military early in the invasion quickly to win, but will bring a large number of civilian casualties, and then into a lasting anti-US armed attacks, ‘base’ organizations will be wide support, but anti-American sentiment spread in the world. ”

Rogers believes that the Israel and the United States is likely to launch pre-emptive air strike against Iran, according to the density calculation of the bombing war in Kosovo against Iran at least 4,000 fighters. Iran is the land regardless of size, population size and overall strength of more than Iraq, and are well prepared to fight a protracted war. Can be expected, once the war with Iran, the United States to be the first system and counter-escalation, Iraq and Afghanistan have been expected to calm the battlefield will be re-involved in war, this war would be quickly converted to local regional war. If the next war stalemate, is not only the war would consume far more than the war in Iraq and Afghanistan wars, will be upgraded to a humanitarian disaster.

Even more alarming is that once an attack is likely to lead to the Iranian nuclear leak, nuclear pollution, will result in the leakage of the Chernobyl nuclear tragedy, are more likely to lead to proliferation of Iranian nuclear installations would create a major international security impact. It can be expected that a large number of civilian casualties, the surging tide of refugees and serious environmental damage, the international community will be under tremendous pressure, the United Nations peacekeeping and rescue operations will also face enormous difficulties.

Furthermore, we should be ready to face retaliation after the war between Iran and Israel in areas long-term instability. Iran and Israel was originally a pair of enemies. 2008, Iran successfully test can cover all of Israel’s improved “Shahab -3″ medium-range ballistic missile. Late last year, Israel attack on Iran nuclear program was revealed, Iran immediately reacted strongly. Iranian Defense Minister Vahidi that Iran has made all preparations for military action against Iran if Israel dares to Iran will not hesitate to arsenal and Israel against nuclear facilities.

There are military experts warn, even though Iran is not the U.S. military in conventional war with the rival, but Iran will sabotage, assassinations retaliate. The foreseeable future after the war, between Iran and Israel’s retaliation will be no peace in the Middle East region into turmoil. At the same time, Iran may launch Islamic Jihad, the use of the Shiite Muslim influence, encouraging anti-American Iraqi militants launched a wave of Hezbollah militants at the same time using attacks on Israel. Finally, Iran will maintain the power of intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States will fall into more frustration on many fronts. In this way, Iraq, Lebanon and other countries and organizations will be involved in the conflict, the Iranian war will turn into protracted Islamic world and Western countries a large melee.

Finally, we need to prepare for the Middle East oil production and shipping are fighting the destruction caused by the situation of the global economic shocks. Related to the economic security of the world oil security, the Middle East is the world’s energy lifelines. Can be expected, if the war in Iraq, it will definitely affect oil and gas fields in the Gulf region, Strait of Hormuz would be blocked both sides to cut off oil from the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean transportation arteries. Once the sea or into a protracted war to expand, to connect Europe and Asia, Africa and the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean, the Persian Gulf into a strategic maritime access to critical situation, the convoy in Somalia now than more difficult. Today, the international navy in the Gulf of Aden to escort action against a handful of pirates have been costly, and still busy in the tainted. The future of Iraq will enable the international community to take up maritime naval escort huge burden. Not only to the Middle East region’s economy and security, also affected patterns of international relations and strategic evolution. Once the paralysis of the Middle East oil transport industry, will lead the world’s energy crisis, it could trigger a global economic crisis, leading to global shocks.

U.S. Army is inability to challenge China

Sep 1

Posted by admin in U.S. Military | No Comments

The latest issue of Japan’s “Chinese Guide” published by the JCC New Japan Research Institute, Chang Gung Yan’s article, “U.S. action was not so big threat to the South China Sea.” The article said that the United States a series of recent actions by China, is a strategic new ideas? Is that the United States is prepared to China’s “showdown”, “Sword”? The answer seems to be negative. These actions will not change the basic trend of the future United States and East Asia and even the pace of development may not be affected.

Article excerpts are as follows:

Recently by the United States, “Clinton declared that U.S. interests”, “joint military exercise in Vietnam,” “involved in the South China Sea dispute,” etc, and continuously in the South China Sea to China, said that strong ties to the military exercise with South Korea in the Yellow Sea, described as “menacing.” These U.S. actions are strategic new ideas? Is that the United States is prepared to China’s “showdown”, “Sword”? The answer seems to be no.

U.S. action without new ideas

U.S. encirclement around China to build the so-called “first island chain” to the “second island chain”, there are still remains. U.S. military activities in the South China Sea and other Chinese coastal waters is not started today. Slightly compare, you can guess the recent U.S. actions are mostly “old tricks” and nothing new.

Concerning China’s sovereignty and core interests from the perspective of “Taiwan Relations Act” includes a few years ago with Japan’s “Contingency” bill, are all was a breakthrough in the move. Today’s action does not reach the United States as the extent that the frame did not break through in the past. While the U.S. government with a number of new words, but it has not built a new policy, but it did not fully subvert the courage and strength of Sino-US relations.

August 20, Japan’s “Yomiuri Shimbun” reported that the three messages: First, the United States sent aircraft carriers into the Yellow Sea to give up, accused of taking into account the attitude of China; second US-Japan “won the island of exercise”, immediately expressed concern about Taiwan, see differences in the interests of all parties; third more military exercises with the United States in Vietnam from top to bottom lukewarm response. These are the release of unfavorable information to the United States, that the United States to intervene in the South China Sea, China’s attitude to face, between the interests of all parties and weigh the parties choose. These are not anything new in the United States a few little tricks can be about.

Shows that the number of recent U.S. actions have not new significance, will not change America and East Asia, the basic trend of the future, and even the development of rhythm is not likely to be affected. United States policy did not invent anything new “cure”, only from the past in a big direct “interference” Zhuanbian the indirect, sow discord Xing “broken”, a bit like the guerrillas threw to both sides of the enemy camp the “grenade” rise to a “Zi Xiang conflict” means.

Inability to challenge the U.S. military in China

U.S. policy toward China are nothing new, there is a reason. Of course, the most fundamental changes in power relations. Regardless of our economic strength for all to see both sides one after another, unable to talk about the international environment on the growth and decline of conservatism and other changes at low tide. Just give a talk about the hot topic recently: “China’s second”, it illustrates the strength of the U.S. real situation in mind.

Sino-US balance in East Asia overall strength, front setting and institutional environment together a variety of factors such as competition, co-ordination down to form a strategic balance. This situation is undoubtedly more favorable to China is conducive to peaceful development is conducive to stability in East Asia, including the American people but also conducive to peace-loving feelings. Therefore, the United States than in China is strong, but the U.S. military’s inability to really challenge the Chinese, especially in countries in the door, even more so.

George Washington aircraft carrier 300x214 United States George Washington aircraft carrier affects the geopoliticalU.S. carriers are not into the Yellow Sea, but said the future will be in the Japan Sea and Yellow Sea 9 exercises. No. Would it be to participate in Washington is still unknown. Hong Kong and Taiwan and foreign Chinese-language newspapers interpret that test, game, wrestling is the “Washington” still hold the string lute external sound; from the Yellow Sea to the South China Sea, the United States forces in East Asia, quietly re-start.

Hong Kong “Ta Kung Pao,” 23 Journal of the text, “” Washington “still holds partly concealed.” The article said the United States “Washington” Multimodal speech Korea and the U.S. aircraft carrier to participate in the issue after several twists and turns, stirring all nervous. U.S. 22, said the U.S. aircraft carrier not into the Yellow Sea, Sea of Japan, ROK-US speech will be the place, but said the future will be held in the Japan Sea and Yellow Sea, 9 exercises. Time, “Washington” will participate in exercise is still unknown.

The article says that China’s rise the way, “Washington” is destined to Unavoidable factors, not only can be understood as the White House package of policy of dialogue, but also can be understood as a whirlpool in the “Washington”; while the Washington and he in Washington had is exactly the same, which is the former chess move.

Article pointed out that the U.S. carrier said it would move to the Sea of Japan on the one hand, feint shot; the one hand, and “left tail” and does not rule out the futuristic “Washington” will participate in Multimodal speech, secretive. All of the test, game, wrestling, everything is flowing in the undercurrents. This is why the “Washington” still hold pipa overtones.

Taiwan, “Central News Agency,” 22 reported that 25 U.S. and South Korea held the first time in 34 years outside the Korean Peninsula waters of the large-scale joint military exercises. China military official newspaper “Liberation Army Daily” published a signed article 22, said hard-line “against the threat of hegemony in international affairs,” targeted full.

Some experts said that because of the exercises, choice, can not help but worry and vigilance of the Chinese people, China does have the necessary time to communicate with the ROK, China raised concerns about the exercise and concerns, so that Americans and Koreans understand the Chinese feelings. However, overestimation of the U.S. to take advantage of the Korea-US joint military exercises on China’s military intimidation of the plot may be wrong. If the U.S. really wanted to attempt the Chinese have it, use its air force in Northeast Asia, it is more likely?

Taiwan’s “United Daily News,” published 23 comments “to the South China Sea, Yellow Sea, East Asia, the United States forces in restructuring.” Critics say China’s core interests as advocates increasingly clear, and tend to ease cross-strait relations, the United States sphere of influence in East Asia have been quietly re-start.

Commented that East Asian intra-trade in the wave of regional integration is being driven by growing U.S. and Japan and India countries to adjust to each other geo-political contact zone of the changes will affect the future re-strategic situation in East Asia. Commented that the regional balance of power within the country to take the occasion to respond to such changes, whether to ease the reconciliation of the core interests of the disputes, will be the East Asian countries with the most stringent political and economic challenges.

U.S. intelligence spending accounts for more than 70% of the world

Jul 18

Posted by admin in U.S. Military, United States | No Comments

Reuters columnist 16 published a feature article on DSM to disclose U.S. intelligence spending status quo, saying the United States has 5% of the world’s population, 23% a year to create the world’s wealth, but for intelligence work funds accounted for more than two-thirds of the world’s intelligence spending.

Spy Game prevalent than during the Cold War the United States, the United States today is worse than invest in intelligence.

70% share

Intelligence gathering, intelligence analysis, covert action, counter-espionage operations and funding requirements of military intelligence operations constitute the main body of U.S. intelligence spending. Over the years, the U.S. Government has been spending as a state secret intelligence mollified.

Debusmann in the article quoted a retired four-star general in September last year, Dennis Blair, the disclosure of annual intelligence spending figures: 750 million. Dennis Blair is the current president, Barack Obama, appointed in January last year, the national intelligence director, submitted his resignation in May of this year.

75 billion U.S. dollars in the size of how much?

Pennsylvania School of Information Studies scholars within the Christian Heap spending this year on assessing the global intelligence. He believes that today, countries around the world each year for information about the industry’s spending about 106 billion U.S. dollars, totaling about 113 million people worldwide in 246 categories of information within the intelligence work.

In accordance with these figures, the United States each year over intelligence expenditure reported added value.

The U.S. population accounts for 5% of the world’s annual economic output accounted for 23% of the world.

Running out of Utah in

Speaking of espionage history, the Cold War represents. At that time, the United States and the Soviet Union of the spy case of the frequent, both sides know this fact, understand each other.

Today, when the United States and Russia espionage surfaced once again, the American officials catch-phrase is: the Cold War is over.

Running out of real espionage during the Cold War over?

Debusmann in the article that included currency devaluation and other economic factors, the U.S. intelligence during the Cold War’s annual expenditure on today, the same as the current 15 billion U.S. dollars.

During the Cold War, Soviet infiltration of U.S. intelligence, in terms of capital investment, the number of spies, counter-espionage size, intelligence analysis and other aspects, superior than the United States. Today, the United States has been generous in providing intelligence, Russia can not match.

gold, well-known Soviet agents, the former “KGB” anti-spyware is responsible for foreign people, this month to accept an interview broadcast media revealed the disintegration of the former Soviet Union in 1991, the KGB team total of 496 000 persons people.

“The shadow of this mammoth Soviet army did not change history,” Kalugin said.

Analogy with the United States today to drop heavily to the information industry, how to produce much in return?

Throwing money to listen to sound

“Sometimes, we feel that the true value for money; but sometimes, we feel that if the money is not transported to the parking lot with a fire truck,” the Washington think tank, “Global Security” director John Pike said.

Parker’s point is that the money thrown into the water, children can not even have sound, such as the 2001 “9.11″ terrorist attacks, the U.S. intelligence agencies virtually no response, committed the most serious since the Cold War Malfeasance .

Column that the United States spent heavily to build an advanced high-tech electronic information network, the net in the “9.11″ before, collected the 123,000 hours and monitoring related to the attacks recordings but no one can Jishi Fenxizhexie data, because the recording of the sound does not speak English.

Debusmann, said, “9.11″ incident, the United States realized that a misunderstanding of information, that is, the traditional intelligence gathering all energies toward weapons of mass destruction and conventional weapons destruction and the threat of the United States, while ignoring the threat of terrorism against the United States.

Then, in 2004, an “Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act” introduced, accompanied by the emergence of a new post, national intelligence director.

However, this reform in addition to spending more than show what effect?

Earlier this year, the U.S. Congressional Research Service, made five-year assessment of intelligence reform, it is recommended not to overestimate the effect of this reform, but we can not reduce funding. Assessment report, said: “can not say, you put 50% more than the budget, wanted to immediately get the next financial year more than 50% of intelligence analysis.”

Focus comments

Shui Yebie sinners do confuse the Yellow Sea

More than a month ago, South Korea hastily invited to the United States held joint military exercises in the Yellow Sea, is not considered too close to the Yellow Sea from China’s capital region, or deliberately provoke China, China refused to condemn North Korea to vent dissatisfaction with it? These two cases are not supposed to happen. China is South Korea’s largest trading partner, South Korea’s own view that the economy “can not do without China.” And this arrangement lightly Multimodal speech, not the right attitude to China South Korea.

“Tian An” incident after the South Korean furious anger some people even to China’s head. This is not cool should never be up to national level. Northeast Asia can not afford one more apprehensive that all countries have the Yellow Sea. The current crisis, if allowed to develop the Yellow Sea, its destructive power greater than visits to the Yasukuni Shrine crisis, as the latter made the feelings of the Japanese and the surrounding opposition, while the Yellow Sea and Northeast Asia, the crisis has directly increased the risk of military confrontation. I believe no one is willing to do the dangerous and Northeast Asia into the darkness of sinners.

“Swarm” tactics means super light mobility sea power, has a strong anti-fire, concentrated fire from several directions to strike the enemy quickly and then quickly leave the battlefield.

Iran has developed a massive “swarm” tactics and decentralized “swarm” tactics. The former is the use of large-scale formation, which allows the light on 100 different crafts from the naval base, and from all directions, concentrating targets;

The latter refers to the use of a small part of a highly mobile missile or torpedo attack boats, disguised place after starting from the hidden, and then to attack targets, this kind of decentralized “swarm” tactics as a way not to start a large-scale combat formations, more difficult to detect and combat.

In addition, concern is that Iran is against nuclear facilities, Israel launched its preemptive attack, also in Syria last year to deploy an advanced radar system.

U.S. “The Wall Street Journal” reported on June 30, this addition would increase Iran’s radar system on Israel’s strategic early warning capability, the sharing of information and helps enhance the Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas on Israel’s fight against accuracy.

Meanwhile, Iran has also increased the intensity of Hezbollah guerrillas, provided that can fight against Tel Aviv, and the higher accuracy of the M-600 missiles and 40,000 rockets.

Analysts believe that Iran wants to use this is the increasing Hezbollah guerrilla activities, decentralized international community, particularly Israel’s concern about Iran’s nuclear efforts.

Washington aircraft carrier 214x300 Sino US confrontation does not match the strategic interests of both sidesUnited States, “World News” editorial: clamoring for a moment the United States Han Huanghai joint anti-submarine exercises will commence shortly, participation in the exercise of U.S. nuclear aircraft carrier George Washington, USS Michigan are being put in place, while China is facing tremendous pressure has also introduced the no sit in the Chinese coastal waters of the US-ROK joint military exercises, combined with Russia in the Sea of Japan launched the “Oriental 2010 military exercise,” the Chinese live-fire exercises in the East China Sea, China made it clear to the South China Sea into the core interests of a sudden, around the Asia-Pacific waters paranoia. In a number of maritime disputes in the Multimodal storm brought the most intense play.

U.S. and South Korea must recognize that the Chinese Yellow Sea affects the sensitive nerves, modern China’s maritime humiliating setback is from the Yellow Sea began. Everyone knows, involved in today’s East Asia, Northeast Asia, all major countries complicated the situation, not to war, not peace, but so often in the current military exercises at sea, and caused public opinion to a high degree of concern caused by the enormous impact of States of the political situation, In this case, the accidental discharge of a crisis, countries can not detect.

East China Sea exercises using only light boats, not directed against the U.S. aircraft carrier

East China Sea Fleet submarine hunting 300x200 East China Sea exercises using only light boats, not directed against the U.S. aircraft carrierThe situation in Northeast Asia, often unpredictable. Group of Eight summit last week issued a statement condemning North Korea after the North Korea issue attached two “shells” to respond to external pressures: the Korean People’s Army on June 28 issued a notice to the United States to require the withdrawal of South Korean troops into the Panmunjom all heavy weapons; the same day, North Korea declared that it would take “new and advanced methods” to enhance nuclear deterrence. Just because people are worried about, “Tian An” incident triggered tension in the Korean Peninsula will erupt again, the one engaged in the People’s Liberation Army exercises in the East China Sea, the news led to some foreign media of infinite reverie.

Live-fire exercises that foreign media speculation

Wenzhou, China Network on June 24 published by the People’s Liberation Army 91 765 units (16 speedboat) circular. Notice that, June 30-July 5 daily 0:00 to 6 pm, the troops will be east of the East China Sea in Taizhou, Zhoushan to conduct live firing range training, the training period, all vessels entering the waters is strictly prohibited.

Zhoushan, East China Sea Fleet base for this year’s regular exercise, and some foreign media “imagination.” Singapore’s “Lianhe Zaobao,” June 28 article said that while the United States and South Korea in the Yellow Sea near China’s Shandong Province on the eve of joint military exercises, the PLA East Sea Fleet, “a rare circular,” and the US-ROK military exercise can not help but link. BBC reports also said that the timing of the PLA exercise was “very subtle.” Speculation for the outside world, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang on June 29 at a regular press conference that the PLA exercises in the East China Sea and the Korean Peninsula does not matter.

In fact, the troops from the Chinese navy equipment configurations, it is not, as some media have speculated that, as clearly intended the US-ROK joint military exercise. Public information, the main detachment of 16 boats and equipment mostly offshore light vessels, under the jurisdiction of minesweepers, landing ships, hunting submarines and corvettes to four ship groups, and equipped with Chinese-made 022-type missile boats. Among them, minesweepers and landing craft are support-type auxiliary warships, itself does not attack; hunting is mainly responsible for coastal patrols and submarine anti-submarine, also belong to the obvious “defense forces”; which were outside the 022-type missile boats promising, although the power amazing, but only in coastal waters. If the US-ROK joint military exercise in the exercise and there is “some connection”, that is, once again showed China maintaining regional stability and signal – “We do not provocation, but we have power.”

US-ROK military exercise dense fog

Live-fire exercises with the People’s Liberation Army is the same concern dragged the US-ROK joint military exercise. As planned, South Korean navies in the Yellow Sea north Georgia gundo, Germany fish Qingdao waters plot near the island and large-scale anti-submarine exercises. To the U.S. military as the home port of Yokosuka, “George Washington” nuclear aircraft carrier will join the exercise.

As the purpose of this exercise is reverie, exercise time also enveloped a layer of Supremacy. Yonhap quoted South Korea on June 28 the head of the military as saying: “the original plan in June to start in the west end of the ROK-US speech, because the United States has not finalized the distribution re-arrangement of the Seventh Fleet in the global combat capability of the schedule, so will be postponed to be held in July. ”

If the delay of the process of back exercises is easy to see, the U.S. attitude on the part in the exercise is not very clear, it can be said is hesitant, but rather South Korea is very active. June 6, South Korea Defense Policy Chief Chang Day (audio) in accepting an interview with Yonhap said, originally scheduled for June 8 to 11 in the Yellow Sea to start the Korea-US joint anti-submarine exercises postponed to 6 at the end because “the United States needed more time to prepare.” But this exercise was postponed to July, is South Korea’s military and explosive materials.

“Pursues military exercises, how out, now is a Korean words. The United States has never come forward the exercise of the news release. Is likely to exercise even this did not exist.” Military commentator on the Song Xiaojun “News of the World,” told reporters.

More interesting is that much concern to China, “George Washington” if the carrier went to the Yellow Sea, has become a question mark. The United States sent the aircraft carrier earlier on participating noncommittal, but did not take long denied this.

June 6, working with U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates at the Asian security conference in Singapore, the Pentagon press secretary in to the “Voice of America” in an email statement: “Bill Gates is not the decision of the Korean Peninsula Marine deployed aircraft carrier in the near future there will not be such a plan. “Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said, the nuclear aircraft carrier involved in the US-ROK joint military exercises in the report do not conform to the facts.

Even the military exercises have taken place in the pattern of “misfortune.” Yonhap reported that in mid-June, originally led by the United States, Korea and the U.S. Seventh Fleet exercise in the Yellow Sea, will be replaced by South Korea’s military-led.

The United States take into account the feelings of Chinese folk?

Beijing Institute of Foreign Affairs told American experts Wang Fan, “News of the World” reporter, the US-ROK military exercise has been postponed, major and delicate situation in the Korean peninsula. “Tian An” incident took place, as against external pressure, North Korea made a series of hard-line stance, and even threatened to nuclear weapons is not furnished. U.S. concerns, at this sensitive moment in the exercise, may lead to a more radical response to North Korea. “This is America’s strategy in Northeast Asia, it is necessary to maintain the proper tension, not let the situation get out of control.”

Wang Fan said that in addition to consider North Korea’s response, China’s strong reaction is also the issue of U.S. military exercise caution a major factor. “In the ‘Tian’ No. events, and more international, the United States wants China’s support and cooperation, so keen to avoid stimulating the Chinese military.”

Since the U.S. nuclear aircraft carrier to the Yellow Sea to send out news of the exercise, China’s domestic re-igniting national sentiment. “The U.S. would like to test the Chinese bottom line”, “U.S. military ventures will not succeed”, similar words appear in major forums. Associated Press article said, strongly condemned the US-ROK military exercise is usually only in the isolation of North Korea, but this is China’s “angry youth” on the Internet sounded angry horn.

Some Chinese media have focused on the US-ROK military exercises were reported. “News of the World,” the first time a U.S. nuclear aircraft carrier to capture the message will go to the Yellow Sea. Since then, the “Global Times”, Central Television and a number of mainstream media are timely follow-up. June 22, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang at a regular briefing, said the current circumstances, relevant parties should keep calm and restraint, do not do aggravate tensions and undermine the region’s national interests.

In fact, the United States sent the aircraft carrier issue prevarication, shows that they clear up this matter on the Sino-US relations is not child’s play. U.S. “Washington Post” on June 19 revealed that, Obama is sending an aircraft carrier within the government and South Korea to participate in joint military exercises held in the issue of disputes. Some people think within the government to send 97,000 tons-class aircraft carrier to the Yellow Sea, China may be annoying. While others said that, the United States needs its allies and North Korea and China, conveying a clear message that the United States strongly supports South Korea.

China’s hardline military exchanges suspended

Academy of Military Science researcher Zhao Xiaozhuo world military research on “World News” reporter pointed out that Sino-US bilateral relations and military relations between the most vulnerable part, have any problems, it is easy surge of waves, a topic. “Whether the exercise of wide speculation that the East China Sea, or to open in China over the U.S. aircraft carrier’s response, illustrate the characteristics of Sino-US military relations.”

This year, from the beginning of the U.S. arms sales to Taiwan announced the beginning of Sino-US military exchanges have been at low ebb, and the other side of the lively contrast to economic exchanges.

In June, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates’s visit to China was turned down, can be said that Sino-US military exchanges marked the further into the “cold period.” Subsequently, the two top military fierce battle in Singapore, the two sides through an open game. The United States not only in words to jump to the proposed development of China’s military power, while movements in the region frequently.

Beijing Institute of Foreign Affairs Wang Fan U.S. experts believe that, at present, the greatest obstacle to Sino-US military exchanges is lack of mutual trust. “The key responsibility is in the United States. The United States has not given up on China’s military vigilance and containment, it will lead to tensions between the two armed forces.”

Wang Fan said that the recent resumption of the United States has repeatedly expressed will of the United States and military exchanges. Not long ago, U.S. President Barack Obama again expressed the hope that the Chinese side to invite Bill Gates to visit China. But listen to his words but also deeds. “The United States can once again challenges China’s core interests.”

June 28, U.S. President Barack Obama releases a new national space policy, changed the former Bush’s “military confrontation” argument brings up the “cooperation” banner, seeking to strengthen international cooperation in space. It was also pointed out that the United States seeks to dominate the space, the militarization of space and set policy has not changed, but more rich in strategic skill.

Involved in GPS research associate Xu Bieguo

50 years since the last century, Dwight Eisenhower came to power, the United States presidents will release a version of the national space policy, space strategy for the term set the tone. Associated Press June 28 news said that Bush “never promise to enter the enemy,” the militarization of space policy than unilateral, Obama is more emphasis on international cooperation, “One of our central goals is to promote the field of space peaceful cooperation, not only to avoid conflict, also help to strengthen the United States in Earth orbit and beyond the operating capabilities. “White House National Security Council, Peter Marquez space policy adviser, said the new policies tend to” use the dialog to control the arms race This is Bush, Clinton-era policy of tone, we just restore the existing position. ”

“Youth Reference” newspaper reporters that the U.S. government website, the 18-page policy report, listed a number of areas where international cooperation can hereby, including space exploration, Earth observation, climate change research and environmental data sharing, disaster reduction such as disaster relief and even the monitoring of space junk. Reported that the Obama administration’s primary goal is to “revitalize the domestic space industry”, compared to 2006, the Bush space policy objectives – “to strengthen national leadership,” obviously much more moderate.

According to “Los Angeles Times” analysis, Obama encouraged the U.S. space industry, “go out” looking for a partner in the global market. By contrast, Bush stressed that “do everything possible to prevent the advanced space technology into the hands of unfriendly countries”, which tie themselves. The report acknowledged that U.S. space policy has been to the “crossroads of change”, needs and space powers (including Russia and China) to cooperate to address common problems of mankind.

Particular concern, the report will exclude other countries involved in the past the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS) research and development, but also into areas of cooperation in an attempt to enhance the adaptability and compatibility with GPS. U.S. global security organization responsible for John Parker described the move tantamount to “open the door of space cooperation.”

“Thrown to the Beijing Declaration and friendly”

In view of the current U.S. debt, had to shelve a number of cutting-edge space exploration program, while China is brewing in the land on the moon in the near future, outsiders have a new U.S. space policy in cooperation with the U.S. link.

According to the U.S. “missile threat” website on June 29 reported that Obama’s technology adviser John Holdren mentioned in an interview, all of the U.S. space shuttle scheduled to retire next year, in the future, the United States into the international space station astronauts The traffic problem is especially pronounced. Before the advent of a new generation of space shuttles in the “gap period”, only Russia and China can provide alternatives. Although Russia has many years experience in transporting U.S. astronauts, but Holdren said, “Americans do not rule out future international space station aboard China’s spacecraft to the possibility.”

In this regard, the European Space Policy Institute Kay – said: “Holdren conversation is no different from Washington to Beijing for a friendly political statements thrown. … … As the new report set So, Obama wants to go further (US space cooperation) the door completely open. ”

On the new space policy can not be too optimistic

However, some experts pointed out that China is not on Obama’s new space policy as too optimistic, the United States can not give up its hegemonic position in space, the so-called “cooperation” is more like a strategy to control the other opponents.

Hong Kong Quan male sea military expert on the “Youth Reference” newspaper said that behind the new U.S. space policy, China is still hidden anxiety. For example, China already has the moon program, which NASA plans at the slow progress of the new moon, face the risk of losing the moon race, “the U.S. certainly can not accept psychologically, it would prefer in hopes of to control. “In Washington, if successful, will lead China into their own space alliance, not necessarily an ideal situation.

Another unnamed domestic military experts also stressed that China has conducted anti-satellite test in 2007, the United States has this to heart, that their threats to space assets, and use it as an excuse for continued development of space warfare capabilities This policy is unlikely to tone changes due to changes in the ruling team.
