Hu Jintao tells China navy: Prepare for warfare

China Navy

(BBC News) – China’s navy should speed up its development and prepare for warfare, President Hu Jintao has said.

He told military personnel they should “make extended preparations for warfare”.

China is locked in territorial disputes with several other nations in the South China Sea. Political tension is also growing with the US, which is seeking to boost its presence in the region.

After Mr Hu’s comments, the US said China was entitled to defend itself.

“Nobody’s looking for a scrap here,” said Pentagon spokesman Admiral John Kirby in quotes carried by the AFP news agency.

“Certainly we wouldn’t begrudge any other nation the opportunity to develop naval forces.”

Senior US and Chinese officials are currently holding talks on military issues.

The one-day meeting takes places every year, with the stated aim of ensuring there are no misunderstandings between the two nations.

‘Sovereignty dispute’
China has recently acquired its first aircraft carrier and has been vocal about its naval ambitions.

But its military remains primarily a land-based force, and its naval capabilities are still dwarfed by the US.

America is the largest exporter of arms in the world 35% and china is only 6% The US spend more on its military and it's military industrial complex than the rest of the world put together. Yet, the US has no threat on its borders - you tell me who the monsters is. 50% (or more) of the US tax dollar goes on its military complex while they continue to create more and more austerity measures hurting the poor, education, healthcare, the elderly, etc. Yet, the fat-cats sit in the luxury apartments and don't seem to give a dam for the disintegration of the American society.  Now the people are scared to say anything, they are cowards, with no ethical or moral value to society.

Maybe they are reading in advance just in case Israel or the US attacks Iran. Russia is ready and China is their buddy. I don't think there will be much of a war. It will be quick if they use EMP, Russian equipment by and large still use analog. They keep running while our expensive war toys stop. That ain't counting biological. Wonder what a trillion dollars worth of real estate equates to in Chinese currency? Oh yea, almost forgot, we get most of the ammo from China & Russia these days.

   China will attack at a time and place of their own choosing when they can be assured of immediate and devestating success. Read the book Unrestricted Warfare it completely outlines their war plan with the US. They know we cannot survive an EMP attack that with in 6 months one half to two thirds of our population would be dead. They know we have no food reserves and without electricity our systems would completly shut down. Even as we speak they are hardening their grid against EMP while we just talk

Do you see China attacking countries like America does - America business is War... Perhaps America has another strategy as they are trillions in debt to China... America prints money out of thin air and buys Chinese goods with it!

  Very interesting, Can we say manchurian president. Last year a missile was launched off  the California by a Chinese submarine that was able to penetrate undetected into the Santa Barbara Channel. Their Subs have stealth technology given by Clinton due to his ultra lax security at our most strategic facilities and even allowing the Chinese free access to these facilities. The Chinese have published a book called "Unrestricted Warfare" in which they describe in complete detail how they can destroy America in one day. In addition they have ships capable of transporting 800,000 fully equipped soldiers and they currently have Three of them. So pick up your gun were gonna have a whole lotta fun

The link to the following article, tends to tie into your post...hmmm?


When it comes to China policy, is the Obama administration leaping from the frying pan directly into the fire?  In an attempt to turn the page on two disastrous wars in the Greater Middle East, it may have just launched a new Cold War in Asia -- once again, viewing oil as the key to global supremacy.

It's amazing how dump people are - America is allowed its navy off the seas of China and call it defense but when China get their navy ready for war its called provocative - talk about Orwellian double speak. And when American and NATO forces attack the sovereignty of other nations its called Humanitarian yet when those countries defend their sovereignty it called Terrorism...  WAKE-UP Americans and stop drinking the Koolaid...
