Feb.21 (China Military News cited from Chinadaily and written by Qin Jize and Li Xiaokun) -- washington appears determined to surround China with US-built anti-missile systems, military scholars have observed.
According to US-based Defense News, taiwan became the fifth global buyer of the Patriot missile defense system last year following Japan, the Republic of Korea, the United Arab Emirates and Germany.
Quite a few military experts have noted that Washington's latest proposed weapon deal with taiwan is the key part of a US strategic encirclement of China in the East Asian region, and that the missiles could soon have a footprint that extends from Japan to the Republic of Korea and taiwan.
Air force colonel Dai Xu, a renowned military strategist, wrote in an article released this month that "China is in a crescent-shaped ring of encirclement. The ring begins in Japan, stretches through nations in the South China Sea to India, and ends in Afghanistan. Washington's deployment of anti-missile systems around China's periphery forms a crescent-shaped encirclement".
Ni Lexiong, an expert on military affairs with the Shanghai Institute of Political Science and Law, told the Guanghzou Daily yesterday, "The US anti-missile system in China's neighborhood is a replica of its strategy in Eastern Europe against Russia. The Obama administration began to plan for such a system around China after its project in Eastern Europe got suspended".
Tang Xiaosong, director of the Center of International Security and strategy Studies with Guangdong University of Foreign Studies noted that the ring encircling China can also be expanded at any time in other directions. He said that Washington is hoping to sell India and other Southeast Asian countries the Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC)-3 missile defense system.
Analysts say that China is closely monitoring US-India missile defense cooperation since any integration of India into the US global missile defense system, would profoundly affect China's security.
However, according to former Chinese Ambassador to India Pei Yuanying, India is unlikely to be part of any such US scheme against China.
"New Delhi needs to develop relations with the US, but it wants to be an independent international power on the international arena," he said.
Pei said it was necessary to take multiple aspects of China-US relations into consideration. "The US has followed the policy of engagement plus containment with China for a long time and that overall policy will not change during Obama's term," he said.
Defense News quoted John Holly, Lockheed's vice president of missile Defense Systems as saying the outlook for the missile defense market remains sound.
Pointing to missile programs in Pyongyang, Teheran, Moscow and Beijing, Holly said "the world is not a very safe world and it is incumbent upon us in the industry to provide (the Pentagon) with the best capabilities."
Beijing has frequently criticized US missile-defense development and has been making efforts to restrict missile defenses through the United Nations forums.
Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi told a UN disarmament conference in August in Geneva that "countries should neither seek for absolute strategic predominance nor develop missile-defense systems that undermine global strategic stability."

Well, I guess FM Yang Jiechi forgot that China internally is ramping up Missile Defense Systems

The way to counteract and circumvent this military encirclement of China (for that matter Russia also) by the United States is to :-
1) Develop and deploy about 30 nuclear submarines (or even more) - 15 to the Pacific Ocean and 15 to the Atlantic Ocean - each of these nuclear submarines armed with 12 nuclear ballistic/cruise missiles and each missiles to be fitted with 10 multiple warheads. That should ensure a first strike of a minimum of (30X12X10) = 360 nuclear bombs.
These nuclear missiles are to be armed with hydrogen bombs......Uranium atomic bombs are not much good nowadays to inflict vast scale devastation .....
Of course those ICBMs (with numerous nuclear warheads) must be launched at the same time...
2) Militarisation of Space
Every power worths its salt is rapidly proceeding with the militarisation of space - US, Russia, Japan,
India ....
Scientists in both countries like Russia and China should develop orbiting nuclear warheads and space lasers.
a) to ensure complete crippling of the United States - communication, power, electronic ... and the entire infrastructure in the United States, permanent orbiting of at least 5 nuclear warheads (although 1 nuclear warhead could do the job) and
detonating 300 miles above the United States - will result in an EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) attack.
b) upon the EMP attack against United States, the remaining orbiting nuclear warheads numbering at least about 51
(for the 51 states in the U.S. (24/7 orbiting above the United States) will immediately be released - those hydrogen bombs - to complete the doomsday for America.
Russian President Medevlev has already adopted the pre-emptive nuclear attack doctrine recently just the United States had theirs under the Bush administration. Many can play the games too - each according to its own rules .....
Best to initiate a pre-emptive nuclear attack on the United States when the time comes. And all those missile defence shields would be rendered quite useless when you can bring the nuclear war right to the doorsteps of the United States and the skies above America.
That should herald the end of US Global Tyranny ...
Of course those nations with the US missile defence shields (and these "shields" were to protect the U.S. and not those axis nations) must also be nuked as soon as the the first nuclear weapons detonate above the United States. These nations too be must be destroyed ....
The planning and preparation for a nuclear war is yesterday ......with improvements and enhancement on a daily basis......
A Nuclear War between the United States and China/Russia is inevitable if the United States continues to provoke Russia/China

Why are you guys preparing to atack Guam???

So you are bent on eventually attacking the US. The US. is only protecting itself from your intentions. I say we must continue with the Star War program and if needed nuke China now, or they'll nuke us first.

Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
