U.S. aircraft carriers into the Yellow Sea of China, the biggest threat is not military threat

Washington aircraft carrier 300x214 U.S. aircraft carriers into the Yellow Sea of China, the biggest threat is not military threatRecently, many foreign media coverage of the uproar, “the U.S. aircraft carriers into the Yellow Sea”, said the U.S. military will send nuclear aircraft carrier in the end of June, “Washington” to go to the Yellow Sea to participate in the US-ROK joint military exercise.

For this event, many domestic experts and scholars have made the appropriate comments. June 22, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang made stand on the issues. Meanwhile, many military enthusiasts online attention on the matter, have “posted” to express their opinions and views. “Chen Hu Troops” and the concern with you, “the United States Han Huanghai exercises”, especially the U.S. carriers into the Yellow Sea, once the impact would arise.

I think that there are three issues that require attention: first, this move by the United States the biggest threat to China what the second is how to treat China’s response, the third is how to react to obtain the best effect.

United States, a move the biggest threat to China what is

Many media reports said the U.S. “Washington” USS “combat radius of 600 kilometers, once into the Yellow Sea, near the coast of China’s territorial waters and the entire North China, most of the Liaodong Peninsula and so an all Department In the United States under the carrier’s combat radius of coverage. ”

Also commented that the U.S. military would be careful surveillance of the military deployment along the Chinese coast. That is, at present the major media and some experts view, focusing on the U.S. aircraft carrier into the Yellow Sea of China itself, the immediate military threat.

In my point of view, the U.S. military move against the greatest threat posed by China is not a direct military threat. Because the U.S. was fully aware of the attitude of the Chinese – the Chinese armed forces have the determination, ability and means to deal with access to the coast, pose a direct military threat of large-scale carrier battle group.

That is, if the U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups into the Yellow Sea, really dare to have any direct military action, the Chinese military can take adequate and effective measures to counter the threat.

So the greatest threat to China what is it? In fact, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Qin Gang’s speech which, expressed on this issue is clear. Qin Gang said in the current situation, the parties should keep calm and exercise restraint, should not exacerbate tensions, undermine the region, the national interest.

Obviously, Qin Gang’s answers have been explicitly discussed, the United States this move, for China, the surrounding area produced the greatest threat to undermine the stability of the region, prone to lead to confrontation, lead to conflicts and even a war footing. This is the greatest threat to the U.S. move will have, and this threat is not only detrimental to China, is not conducive to the entire Northeast Asian regional security and stability.

How do the Chinese side of the response

Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang in his speech that China is very concerned about the reports, was closely tracking developments. Obviously, this statement is a diplomatic response, that the Chinese side on this issue is of great concern.

From the event itself, the U.S. aircraft carrier into the Yellow Sea exercise, not a normal sexual activity, but a special case. Historically, though often with the U.S. aircraft carrier South Korea, Japan to carry out some exercises, but most of its exercises in the Sea of Japan Sea or the Korean peninsula in Northeast waters. This time of exercise in the Yellow Sea, which is on the Korean peninsula west of this part.

This situation was previously rare. In October 1994 there have been a similar situation: the U.S. “Kitty” aircraft, participated in a military exercise held here, while “in the territorial waters of the outer edge of China conducted a cruise.” Critics of the world at that time regarded the move as a provocative action. Now the U.S. has made this very state of the move, can be said that this action should be a show of force, to exert influence and pressure on the measure.

According to the U.S. and ROK to say, a show of force, influence and pressure of the move, mainly for the DPRK. But in fact the exercise will also affect the location that this approach to China. In this case, the Chinese side made any reaction is normal.

Not only China, a country of any such circumstances, can respond accordingly. This response may include diplomacy, public opinion, military. At the same time, it also shows that even the U.S. If for some considerations to cancel the action, can not be seen as the U.S. side makes a concession, or what the benefits to China, but can only think that this is the United States aware of their action of this region will affect stability and trigger the end fight, but to the “mistakes and wrongs” of the action.

How to respond to obtain the best results

The answer to this problem is not the response itself against China, and not simply for that event. Any country in the world encounter a similar situation, will respond accordingly.

Once encountered such a situation, what response to make to get the best effect? I would like nothing more than two:

One must be diplomatic position and attitude accurately and effectively communicate one’s message, telling the other: Your practice undermine regional stability, will lead to confrontation and even lead to conflict and war, so this is improper. As the countries in the region, have the right to express concern on this issue, expressed concern that opposition.

Another aspect is the military response. When a country faced a similar situation, in the military to receive the best results, we will build “a bad thing into a good thing.”

For any one country, national organizations such as another aircraft carrier battle group into a huge threat to national security could be when the sea are in fact one of the best training objectives: Since you have a show of force in this area, to drill I also can target your actions, organizing appropriate action to you as a target for the exercise – this is a closest to the practical operation of the exercise objectives. From the military point of view, this exercise will receive general training or training, which is less than the effect.

China will build 4-6 aircraft carriers, F-15 carrier aircraft has been flight

Russian Su 33 carrier based fighter aircraft on take off 300x199 China will build 4 6 aircraft carriers, F 15 carrier aircraft has been flightJune 2, 2010 issue of “Jane’s Defense Weekly” magazine published in Washington correspondent Ted – Parsons (Ted Parsons) of the article, the article entitled “China test carrier-based version of F-11B prototype” . Jane’s said that China FYJS military site has revealed a new version of the F-11B photos canard wing and the short of caudal and other features are consistent with the SU -33, Jane’s also noted that China develop its own carrier version of F-11B at the same time, it may also purchase Su -33, is also possible that China’s use of carrier-based version of the F-11B to promote further bargaining with Russia. Jane’s also speculation that 4-6 aircraft carriers in China and the rapid construction of aircraft carrier construction program is perhaps the result of orders for Russian Su -33.

The article first said that Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (Shenyang Aircraft Corporation) airport showed pictures of looks: China now is testing a F-11B fighter prototype carrier-based version of the early.

Jane’s article said that China FYJS military site on May 20 revealed the photos show a new version of the F-11B aircraft, with the front wing Gaixing Ji obvious “duck”-style wing, relatively short caudal (Editor’s Note: China Forum called it “F-15″ carrier-based fighter). These features are produced by the company and the Russian Sukhoi SU -33 line carrier aircraft, and reported consistent with Shenyang over the years trying to “copy” of the model.

Jane’s article goes on to say, the latest pictures in this group before, there is a group of pictures show, the PLA Naval Air Force (PLANAF) forces in the procurement of land (non-carrier) of the F-11B aircraft. In late August 2009, several Chinese military forum for the dissemination of a web site on anecdotes, said carrier-based version of the F-11B has already begun testing new network message is implied, and now may also include slip jump (off) test.

Jane’s said, however, the latest photos appeared in China only shows the existence of a prototype, as the prototype is equipped with folding wings, it is not clear, although there is a photo showing the end of hook block, but can not make this final conclusion. As the aircraft prototype in the end is equipped with the Russian “Saturn” (Saturn) the company’s Al-31 turbofan engine, or equipment of the Chinese-made Shenyang Liming Aero-Engine Corporation WS-10A “Taihang” engine, is still not sure, Jane s comments that followed, which experienced the “chaos” of the development process, there is a late 2009′s reported that the first flight of the prototype two-seat F-11BS leaves the engine off and crashed.

Jane’s article goes on to say, the Russian side since the beginning of 2005, “China needs to meet the Soviet -33 restart talks with the Chinese production line,” Jane’s comment to the issue, the Russian side has repeatedly stressed that China’s ability to master many of them the necessary machine body improvement (technology) to the J -11 / SU -27 into a secure carrier-based fighter, skeptical. They also realized that China obtained from the Ukraine, a T-10K or Su -33 prototype. In August 2009 Moscow air show, there is news that China has to purchase about 40 for improved SU -33 and the cost of restarting production lines with suitable, this message also hinted that China is developing its own ship F-11B version contains the same time, it may also purchase Russian-made Su–33. Of course, also possible that China has used the F-11B carrier-based version of the successful to promote further bargaining with Russia.

Jane’s concluded that the potential demand of China’s aircraft carrier may be a favorable factor for Russia. Hong Kong, China in early 2009, news sources revealed that, in addition to being converted Dalian receiving aircraft carrier Kuznetsov addition, Beijing is considering the construction of 4-6 aircraft carrier. China in Dalian and Shanghai are the new shipyard capable of building aircraft carriers; while (China) the result of the rapid construction of aircraft carriers is perhaps the Russian Soviet -33 orders.

Taiwan’s “intelligence officer” as saying that the mainland carrier has started – But could not get along

Taiwans National Security Bureau chief 300x276 Taiwans intelligence officer as saying that the mainland carrier has started   But could not get alongTaiwan’s “National Security Bureau chief” Cai victorious on the 4th that the mainland has begun to build an aircraft carrier, which is Taiwan’s “intelligence officer” for the first time publicly confirmed that China has started construction of an aircraft carrier.

Reported that Ma Ying-jeou on the mainland are very concerned about plans to build an aircraft carrier, had personally asked the Taiwan military meeting, “chief of staff” Town barbarian related issues.

According to Taiwan’s “Free Times” reported that Taiwan pointed out that although the construction of the new carrier will still take time, but the renovation of the former Soviet Union naval port of Dalian Varyag USS progress faster and faster, because China bought Varyag when No. , the ship did not possess the power, made many years ago China had started sea trials of the engine, is also equipped with on board, Varyag letter has its own power can be used at sea.

According to reports, Cai said victorious, according to Taiwan’s “National Security” analysis, the mainland will be able to have an aircraft carrier by 2012, targets difficult.

China led the Asia-Pacific carrier heat to help European shipyards

China aircraft carrier 300x204 China led the Asia Pacific carrier heat to help European shipyardsTang’s Asian branch of the United States International web site November 2 published an article entitled “Asian countries are keen on buying an aircraft carrier,” the article. Studying in Russia, the former Indian Navy captain Daiweidela – Cecil (DevindraSethi) in the article on Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, Russia and China, Asia-Pacific countries, including accelerated in recent years carried out a detailed plan of the carrier introduction, and predicted that Asia will become the next hot spots of conflict of interest in an offshore area. Of course, the countries the increase in military aircraft will also be put through the economic crisis in the Western Shipyard winter’s “life-saving straw.”

The article said that in recent years, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, Russia and China have set off a burst of buying and building an aircraft carrier the globe. Of these countries suddenly began to take the sea air capacity, the command of the sea that countries thinking is changing. Interestingly, these patterns varied country almost simultaneously against the carrier plans to accelerate its investment in and growth. Author exclaimed, “Is this a new round of arms in Asia, the harbinger of the cold war?.”

According to the article carrier that shares the main focus boom in East Asia because of widespread unresolved territorial disputes, especially the maritime boundary dispute. If the disputed waters, islands and found near deep-sea oil and gas reserves, then the surrounding countries would have claimed ownership of these important waters. Only by so doing lead to countries in the region have to strengthen the building of naval armaments.

At the same time, these countries are also the carrier’s desire to combat the recession as Europe suffered, and not to relax the restrictions on technology exports have been instigated. European shipyards is currently the main economic income to rely on the limited relief provided by the Government money because in the past the government has set limits on high-tech export markets. But with the economic rise of East and Southeast Asia, they have become the international arms market’s major arms buyers.

In addition, because the U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq, and perhaps a possible withdrawal from Afghanistan. Strategic contraction strategic vacuum left by so many people believe that Asia may be the next flashpoint. Therefore, Asian countries have started chasing the main symbol of sea power – an aircraft carrier.

“India must be equipped with the Navy aircraft carrier” is a former prime minister Jawaharlal – Nehru (JawaharlalNehru) vision. The realization of this dream, which have allowed the Indian Navy at a competitive advantage. As the Indian aircraft carrier has been used up to now and the service ultra-40 years of experience. And the carrier, whether in war or peace times, for the Indian navy and air forces have played a great role in the improvement.

In the next 10 years, India will have at least two aircraft carriers, respectively, in service since 1987′s “virrat” was (INSViraat), and now Russia, Severodvinsk (Severodvinsk) shipyard converted 40005-kiloton “Vikram Mathias” was (INSVikramaditya). The latter was formerly the Soviet Union, “Admiral Gorshkov” was medium-sized aircraft carrier. “Virrat” was recently in India to accept a modern conversion is expected to be in service until 2015; and “Vikram Mathias” was problematic although the funds, but the Russians had promised that the earliest start sea trials in 2011.

In addition, India’s first fully self-designed and built a new “Vikrant” level (Vikrantclass) aircraft will be national Cochin (Cochin) is responsible for the construction of the shipyard. The level of the first ship was a start in 2008, and plans launched in 2010. India is now all ongoing construction and modification of the carrier, all reach containing three types of planes: British production “Sea Harrier”, Russian-made MiG-29KUB and as well as the manufacturing company Hindustan Aeronautics in Bangalore produced two-seater light aircraft made The carrier-based aircraft version of the LCA.

Article also commented that some countries in Asia, the Indian Navy’s rise as a military and commercial interests of its harmful. This is difficult to Gaidiao old ways of thinking, it is proposed that the Government of India must be more active and enterprising maritime diplomacy.

China’s purchase of aircraft carrier Admiral Liu Huaqing’s strategy is based on the proposed development strategy, he had at the Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) of the Naval War College to learn to follow the Admiral Gorshkov. In the Kremlin, the Chinese admiral who had a difficult task, that is, to change the China Central Political Bureau of the Army’s strategic thinking as the most important point of view. Although he has done a lot of work, but according to our recent development of the Chinese navy to judge, they still adhere to the “naval auxiliary theory” strategy.

China also through the early years of “aircraft carrier to buy” strategy to gain initial understanding of aircraft carriers. China in 1998, purchased from Ukraine in the Soviet era is not to build a complete aircraft carrier “Varyag” was (Varyag), through the long and difficult navigation, and finally in 2000 at its northeastern city of Dalian Shipyard to understand and transform . Recently, there are photographs showing the carrier painted on the People’s Liberation Army Navy combat ships of the standard color.

The outside world has always been rumors, the Chinese purchase of the vessel large ships is aimed at the use of Macau as an international casino. Author revealed in the text, in the early years, in a meeting with the Macao delegation learned, they are actually from the People’s Liberation Army Navy. When the author asked about their views on the warship, the author told the Chinese say, to have it restored to the “Kuznetsov” class standards of operational status and is not easy, but not necessarily impossible, as long as the money enough. Chinese officials who have the smile seemed to indicate everything – money is not a problem for China. This also shows that China’s pursuit of their dream of an aircraft carrier seriousness.

However, to start the 60000-ton ship, a medium-sized aircraft carrier for China is also an unknown leap. It requires not only a mother ship, the corresponding combat aircraft and helicopters, but also need for other machinery and equipment and 2,500 highly skilled crew, and every day around the clock is extremely accurate, zero-error control.

Authors believe that, if converted into the hull should have a current operational status of the aircraft carrier at least 10 years. At the same time, as opposed to general ships, the aircraft carrier’s control staff whose learning curve will also become very slow and difficult. To learn from scratch, human-computer interaction, until a smooth state will be many obstacles.

Recently, military intelligence reports indicate that China also plans to build shipyard in Shanghai Hudong made two new aircraft carriers. Obviously, they will be very similar to No. Varyag, but will be equipped with nuclear propulsion systems.

Japan, is stepping up its construction of “day to” level (Hyuga) a helicopter destroyers, the ship is a 18,000-ton class light aircraft carriers, amphibious helicopter can carry. Of course, accumulated over the past few decades of experience in the construction of a light aircraft carrier to judge, the Japanese shipyards should all have the same or greater level to build an aircraft carrier capability.

Japan’s new cabinet’s policy direction recently said it would re-examine with the United States in the past, signed a military agreement. If the new US-Japan military regime more inclined to “go it alone”, and the Cabinet also requested the withdrawal of the U.S. Navy base in Okinawa, Japan’s navy will have to win more military units.

The Australian Government has also made a bold decision to re-purchase of an aircraft carrier, and has ordered two “Canberra” level (Canberra) aircraft carrier. If in the Malacca Strait to Australia’s northern waters near a vessel to take hostile action against Australia, then the Australian side for the protection of this piece of water will be necessary. Australia needs to protect the coastline, 500 miles away from the air force, while the Australian side of existing shore-based aircraft can not complete this task.

Plans to build the two “Canberra” class will be similar to India’s “virrat” level, is expected to be in service in 2014. Can carry 18 MRH-90 helicopter operations. However, the Australian Navy is currently facing the biggest problem is its ability to retain well-trained military personnel. There are also reports that the Australian navy also discussed the potential to transform Christmas Island, “into a unsinkable” aircraft carrier.

South Korea’s imports from the United States in 2007, equipped with the Aegis system, 18,600-ton’s “Air Warfare Destroyer.” The amphibious ship has a certain capacity, currently only carry helicopters. Said the South Korean navy in the future will be four “Dokdo” level (Dokdo) amphibious assault ship, the main objective is to deal with North Korea Navy.

Recently, the “Dokdo” ship “interim aircraft carrier”, including the Association of Southeast Asian Nations has aroused much attention. South Korean shipyards have a considerable competitive edge, and may on this basis, to gain valuable experience at sea for training in the next 10 years, that is 2020 years to build up a larger carrier.

Based on national pride and the desire to regain the dominant sea power capacity of the Soviet era, Russia has also recently joined the aircraft carrier makes the buying nations. It is reported that Russia will buy a French “Mistral” level (Mistral) amphibious assault ship. Russia’s “Kuznetsov” was (Kuznetsov) aircraft carriers in Europe and the Mediterranean waters, has been in service for many years, the equipment used experienced Su -33 fighter. They also intend to in 2009 years, in the “Kuznetsov” was the successful flight test of new carrier-based aircraft MiG -29. And based on the “V” class submarines transformation from a modern nuclear-powered submarines, but also very good with the use of aircraft carrier battle groups.

According to Russian media reports, the Russian Navy had planned to in 2025, in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean to maintain six new aircraft carriers, combat capability, although this plan had to undo the last due to economic reasons, but Russia in the Asia-Pacific or other regions, there is more than any were faster and the speed of the reconstruction of naval power. This is mainly due to its strong shipbuilding facilities, scientific and technological base and R & D facilities.

Protect oil and gas-rich peninsula in Siberia, the Russian Government’s key objective, because this region is Russia’s energy exports to China and an important pillar of European-style energy base.

Looking around us, from the Pacific Coast to the Indian Ocean up to the Suez Canal, from Vladivostok to the northern waters of Australia, almost filled with the economic rise of the city. The two fastest-growing economies – China and India, which generated a huge merchandise trade is almost totally dependent on maritime transport. Marine tourism is also rising, a large cruise sailed from the West are entering the Singapore and Hong Kong and other places.

However, this region’s security problems are on show, regional economic imbalance of power could lead to friction and conflict-ridden sea. Only the carrier can effectively provide air power beyond the sea surface, which is pursued by the Navy in this region forces.

This demand is much suffering an economic crisis of the European shipyards is undoubtedly also a very attractive market. Because many countries in Asia does not yet have the construction of key infrastructure and aircraft manufacturing capability. In turn, the Western economy is in a downturn phase, for Asian countries to build an aircraft carrier is also bustling, an excellent opportunity. Because they will be more than usually easily obtained from the Western military technology and infrastructure construction support. At the same time and save them to go beyond the economic recession has become a shield for high-tech export restrictions.

In the final, the author is expected to: Asia-Pacific countries to build an aircraft carrier in 10 years will reach 100 billion U.S. dollars in market size; while the next 50 years, the infrastructure to support the cost of these ships also require an additional 100 billion U.S. dollars; the next 50 years on the weapons and equipment , aircraft, helicopters and related systems of procurement will also be spending over 100 billion U.S. dollars. And the little aircraft carrier set sail alone in support of aircraft carrier battle groups have spent a large amount of costs to include in battle cruisers, destroyers, frigates and other high-tech ships. These investments in the next 10 years, at least 200 billion U.S. dollars will go to Europe, Russia and the United States pocket.

China plans to build a large destroyers – to provide important support for aircraft carriers

User envisaged by Chinese aircraft carrier 300x228 China plans to build a large destroyers   to provide important support for aircraft carriersWuhan appeared in a giant cement vessels, which is China’s desire to move rapidly to the carrier’s latest sign of a comprehensive construction plan. Wuhan ship “aircraft carrier” will not be launched. But the next day, China’s first domestically produced aircraft carrier will be routed out of a Shanghai Changxing shipyard, equipped with jet fighters, in support of the most advanced warships and submarines sailed under the protection of the Pacific Ocean.

The scene in the region when the arrival of foreign military experts and scholars increasingly pay attention to. They believe a series of technical problems still exist. No. 1 domestic carrier serving five years, the forecast is full of variables.

This month, officials announced a Shipbuilding Research Institute, Beijing plans to build a new generation of large destroyers and aircraft carrier programs that will provide very important support, while the carrier plans to make China a true blue-water navy key.

Alleged that the aircraft carrier to support ship construction work has already begun. The Pentagon notes that China-made aircraft carrier equipped with a full built in 2015 can not be good, but Beijing is planning to build more than 2020 carrier.

London’s International Institute for Strategic Studies The Chinese military expert Gary Lee said, “We see China is a systematic and comprehensive manner the required infrastructure and technology together. When will be able to see the first one fully equipped to support aircraft carrier in place the water is difficult to determine, because it forces even the mature and also very difficult, but many cutting-edge work is being carried out. There are a lot of technical bottleneck in front. ”

Chinese Ministry of National Defense made it clear that Beijing’s intentions, saying that “the aircraft carrier is the performance of a country’s comprehensive national strength, but also a country specific requirements of naval power.”

Even though a huge number of aircraft carriers in the laying of lines and cables also need to study hard. “Even at the peak of the Soviet Union also encountered cable issues,” “Han and the defense theory of assessment” and Andrei Chang said, “China is aware that he started from scratch, we should all find out. Carriers big and fragile.” Other barriers that need to through diplomatic and technical channels.

At least in the initial stage, China will certainly use a foreign carrier-based aircraft. In 2006, the purchase of Soviet-made aircraft carrier fighter found in the Russian media, the negotiations. The negotiations continue to complain that Chinese piracy because of Moscow’s military technology and twists and turns. But Asian diplomats believe that negotiations are still ongoing, although there may be strategic considerations in Moscow, but still eager to aircraft sold to China.

Although China has launched a series of cutting-edge activities, no one believes that it will soon achieve a major breakthrough. The construction and operation of aircraft carrier battle groups representing military, industrial and strategic coordination peak. U.S. Center for Strategic and International Studies Pacific Forum president Keluo Fu said that many countries had to eat bitterness know, the aircraft carrier program is actually much more to be tough, “China’s roads will be very long and very difficult.”

This there is a consensus in Washington. Pacific Fleet Commander Keating said: “If they (China) to build an aircraft carrier that we know will take a very long time, difficult to think of much more than it is now.”
