China Strengthening Military May Completely Change Asia Security Balance
|
A senior Pentagon official said the Chinese military may be radically altered to enhance the regional security balance in Asia, he urged China's leaders clearly spelled out its plans and intentions.
Participating in high-level military dialogue in the United States only 4 days later, the assistant secretary of defense for Asian affairs, retired Lieutenant General Wallace Gregson cells in the Democratic Party today, Progressive Policy Institute, an event being said.
Gregson said: "China is seeking long-term, comprehensive strengthening of the military, which may completely change the region's security balance, it has become increasingly obvious."
Gregson said that the Chinese military modernization, the decision itself is not a problem, even if military spending at an annual double-digit growth rate. But he said the development of such anti-ship ballistic missiles, advanced submarines, surface to air missile, anti-satellite weapons and computer network attack capabilities approach, indeed aroused the concerns the United States and other countries.
He said: "The U.S. and many countries in the region have the same concerns that increased military action that goes far beyond China's defense needs. Moreover, such weapons could undermine support for the peace and prosperity in East Asia, the basic standards, such as barrier-free access to trade and security assistance to the channel. "
In Friday's talks, participate in the dialogue of the nation's most senior officials, Deputy Defense Minister Michel. Flournoy said the talks were "frank" - officials often use the term to represent the two sides have differences. She said Chinese officials agreed that both sides need a coherent defense relationship, should not appear in China for its policy of do not like the United States imposed a "freeze relations." Gregson repeat these words today. But two officials said the two sides did not freeze the end of this formal agreement was reached.
US-China defense relationship just out of protest against U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and imposed the freeze period.
National Asian American Institute published an article I wrote about American security against the unfolding of the long papers. ... Message to all those who follow it, it is obvious that China intended to seek and our different interests. They choose to support North Korea, contrary to all of our allies in Washington and the will. Southeast Asia and their claim to sovereignty over the sea around Japan expanded their military threat to Taiwan has not diminished. Unfortunately, it looks like we confrontation with China will be long and we are economically dependent on the situation seriously with each other (of course, China is also subject to the constraints of interdependence) to make this fight more complicated.
Given these circumstances, I think, we generally lack the assessment of military confrontation between China and the U.S., and we need that assessment. Our security elite and scholars are prohibited serious consideration of a confrontation, because there is a relationship about our "self-fulfilling prophecy," the harmful theory. The most extreme form of this theory that the Chinese conceived as a possible enemy really would become an enemy of China. This is a serious mistake. Sino-US relations, our political leaders to assess our priority is relative to the strength of China, and make the necessary adjustments to ensure our advantage. This gives us more opportunities to prevent conflicts.
Our leaders need to assess the dynamics of power. This assessment should consider the opponent's political purposes, their military doctrine and strategy of coalition politics, as well as quantitative measurement of the results of Shi Zhanjun force. Contradict the goal of political and military confrontation between China and the U.S. will lead. For the U.S., the most important features of this confrontation is the Washington area in the world to protect their most important impact on the ability of interest. These benefits include protection of the United States to prevent the emergence of a hostile hegemon in Asia, to encourage sustainable economic freedom and political reform necessary to maintain our contacts and the opportunity to direct people around the world. China is increasingly able to control the U.S. allies, blocked the U.S. military, and the pursuit of regional hegemony and cut off a possible U.S. contacts with the world some people, but we have this capability in China, the increasing in the context of assessment of the impact that interests. From these considerations, the United States may not have the overwhelming advantage of many people imagine. |
