Special Report: China's military hawks take the offensive

I also don't believe it's the right time to solve this problem,let China wait for another 10-20 years,when China truly becomes a superpower in both economy and military,we can easily once and for all fix those small countries.so now just don't let those issues slow us down to claim our top spot in the world.
 
.
those islands are ours,they won't run away,so we should not mind too much about waiting for a just a bit longer.it's those small countries which feel the heat of China's fast development and so anxious to settle those issues when China is still not totally militarily ready.China's defence budget grow double digits every single year,will be on par with US when our economy overtakes US in about a decade time.time alone can silent those noisy midgets,so we should not be in a hurry.
 
.
That's what I'm afraid of because right now China is gobbling up world resources to feed its growing economy. Once it overtakes US that will be the tipping point.

China will bully everybody on its way to get all the resources it needs thinking that nobody can stop them.
 
.
time is running out for them,they know,we know,so it serves China's interest to shelve those issues for a bit longer,those islands won't go anywhere.let's play for time.

let's wait for another 10 years

The Economist: China has surpassed U.S. in many economic indices
December 4, 5:54 pm

The Economist magazine pointed out in a recent article that in the 21 different economic indices including manufacturing output, export, fixed investment, China has surpassed U.S. by more than half.

The article also predicted when China will outperform U.S. in the rest indices. It pointed out that by 2014, China is expected to be the largest import country in the world and meanwhile has the largest retail sales. Nonetheless, U.S. still keeps great strengths in some of the indices, for instance, its capital in stock market is 4 times that of China and its national defense expense is 5 times that of China.

When Goldman Sachs first made prediction for the economic growth of the BRICs (Brazil, Russian, India and China) in 2003, it predicted that China would possibly surpass U.S. in 2041. But now the prediction is adjusted to 2027. And Standard Chartered predicted in 2010 that the surpassing year might be 2020.

The Economist estimated that the current GDP of U.S. is still twice that of China under market exchange rate. In the past ten years, the average annual GDP growth was 10.5 percent in China and 1.6 percent in U.S..The average annual inflation rate was 4.3 percent in China and 2.2 percent in U.S. respectively. Since China aborted yuan’s peg to the dollar, the average annual appreciation of yuan has been slightly over 4 percent.

The prediction towards the coming 10 years by the Economist was: the average annual GDP growth rates are likely to be 7.75 percent in China and 2.5 percent in U.S..The average annual inflation rates are expected to be 4 percent and 1.5 percent. Meanwhile, it is expected that yuan depreciate 3 percent each year. Considering these variables altogether, China is expected to outrange U.S. in 2018. If the actual economic growth rate is only 5 percent in the next 10 years (others unchanged), China will likely to outperform U.S. in 2021.

I find Chinese logic funny.
1) As per them, If any China every visted / ruled ny part of teh world than it should belong to them. By this logic India should have claim on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and many other countries AND UK should have claim on every other country.

2) Chinese never accept international laws but always go about telling world that we should follow International laws.

sooo wt Indian trolls r doing here?? :offtopic:
sooo u are accepting international laws??? :blah:
chinees are not like Europeans they always accept International laws thats why u got bach ur territory after facing defeat from chinees....
If chinees didnot followed the law they will have captured those inlands long ago....
its their wish to settel this matter with discussion due to which they are waiting....
or Japan??? :butcher: :D

Perhaps to the domestic Chinese audience...

I admire his naivety when it says :-

Virulently anti-American, he has a low opinion of U.S. military capabilities and willingness to suffer casualties. The United States would "run like a rabbit" if China went to war with Japan over the Diaoyu Islands, he told state television on August 12.


For most of us it remands of Japan nationalist leader's thought of American's just before pearl harbor..

except for Yamamoto ( one of best admiral of Japan ) who once stated..

In the first six to twelve months of a war with the United States and Great Britain I will run wild and win victory upon victory. But then, if the war continues after that, I have no expectation of success.


Virulently anti-American, he has a low opinion of U.S. military capabilities and willingness to suffer casualties.

In regards to the americans taking silly positions in favour of the unrepentant and unscrupulous japanese,a vast majority of Chinese will be anti usa! I dont blame Admiral Zhang!

His “low opinion of the US military capabilities” is taken out of the context of Zhang's mindset and obviously the writer of the article is too childish to have passed a judgement on Zhang when he is not familiar with him (through all of Zhang's public comments).

and you believe you can shed light on Zhang's mindset that leads him to his 'low opinion of US military capabilities' that the article has failed to do? Then do so, it might be enlightening, because currently he sounds like he is very greatly underestimating the resolve of the US to step up to the plate, a sadly common mistake among our enemies.

Its their mind set to belittle others this morons think that war as simple as pie if they try that china can kiss their economy and their country good bye

Admiral Zhang is one of the most knowlegeable commentators in China. He's an erudite military scholar and strategist. His comments are reasonable and fair!
Really...??? What if he was one of the authors submitted to the Politburo that the US, despite inevitable victory over Iraq, would suffer high casualties back in Desert Storm?

Oh that was just Zhang's effort to write some fiction. In the hope of making it to the top of NYT's Fiction Best Seller list!

Really? You (your adopted country) is making a mess in Iraq!

This has nothing to do with Zhang's alleged military acumen and wisdom, which you alleged. Today's Iraq is not yesterday's Desert Storm.

What did Admiral Zhang say about Desert Storm?

Admiral Zhang has been a long time and respected commentator on military affairs in China. None of what you and the other people quoted have reflected his viewpoint on the US military status in general.
