China is preparing for conflict 'in every direction', the defence minister said on Wednesday in remarks that threaten to overshadow a visit to Beijing by his US counterpart next month.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/8229789/China-...

"In the coming five years, our military will push forward preparations for military conflict in every strategic direction," said Liang Guanglie in an interview published by several state-backed newspapers in China.
"We may be living in peaceful times, but we can never forget war, never
send the horses south or put the bayonets and guns away," Mr Liang
added.

China repeatedly says it is planning a "peaceful rise" but the recent pace and scale of its military modernisation has alarmed many of its
neighbours in the Asia-Pacific, including Japan which described China's
military build-up as a "global concern" this month.

Mr Liang's remarks come at a time of increasingly difficult relations between the Chinese and US armed forces which a three-day visit by his counterpart
Robert Gates is intended to address. A year ago China froze substantive
military relations in protest at US arms sales to Taiwan and relations
deteriorated further this summer when China objected to US plans to deploy
one of its nuclear supercarriers, the USS George Washington, into the Yellow
Sea off the Korean peninsula.

China also announced this month that it was preparing to launch its own aircraft carrier next year in a signal that China is determined to punch its
weight as a rising superpower. The news came a year earlier than many US
defence analysts had predicted.

China is also working on a "carrier-killing" ballistic missile that could sink US carriers from afar, fundamentally reordering the balance of
power in a region that has been dominated by the US since the end of the
Second World War.
