I have decided that China will be the new future super power and in order to do this they are buying all the metals and other items that they need to acomplished this.

Where China is going around the world making deals and friends the US goes around the world making war and enemies.

China is educating natives and building roads (like in Africa) for the "convenience" of the people but in reallity all that they are doing is building a labor force and roads to move faster in Africa in case of war and also, when the time comes... the means to take the goodies out.

The super highways in China are at least four lanes wide and in many cases six lanes but they are different than the ones in the US in that they are able to support the weight of their heaviest planes, in case that they loose their landing fields.

A plan just came into play where they will be buying a lot more material in order to build more planes, subs, boats and so on, this is being done in order to be able to hold what they will "liberate" in the future.....this is one way to get rid of the "worthless" US fiat.

In the US the government are now making the knot around the neck of the American people tighter because they are scare of loosing control of the country, one new law that want to pass is that when ever you buy a cell phone you will have to be registered by means of your drivers licence or some other kind of ID.

FINALLY......today I finally heard someone say NO EXPORT = NO RECOVERY, and this is something that I coined about two years ago when I saw the signs on the wall..... the idea of "free export" was nothing more than permission from the US government to bypass the American people and find cheaper labor overseas.

So......once again.........."Learn Spanish, Chinise and buy water stocks"... Ponce

BEIJING, March 5 (Xinhua) - China will transform its military training based on mechanized warfare to that based on informationized warfare, according to a government work report delivered by Premier Wen Jiabao at a parliament session Thursday.

"In the coming year, we need to make our army more revolutionary, modern and standardized," reads the report delivered at the Second Session of the 11th National People's Congress (NPC), or the parliament.

China "will effectively transform our military training based on mechanized warfare to military training for warfare under conditions of greater IT application", the report says.

China will continue to enhance the army's ability to respond to multiple security threats and accomplish a diverse array of military tasks.

Wen also said China will modernize weapons, equipment and logistics support across the board this year. "We will improve defense-related research, the weapons and equipment production system," he said.

"It is not possible to win a modern warfare without due IT application," said Qi Sanping, an NPC deputy and president of the Xi'an Politics Institute of People's Liberation Army (PLA).

Qi said it was necessary for China to develop high-tech and new weapons under the condition of greater IT application as far as the country's capacity allows. "We should at least have the technology if we do not produce the weapons." (If you have the technology then you already have the weapons... Ponce)

NPC deputy Zhu Fachen, a logistics chief of the Second Artillery Corps told Xinhua on the sidelines of the parliament session that informationization is the trend of global military development.

China exercises a defense-oriented policy and its national defense expenditure is far less than that of the United States.

The building of computerized armed forces has entered a new era of all-round development, says a white paper on China's national defense in 2008 issued in January.

Starting with command automation in the 1970s, the PLA's information technology has stepped from specific areas to trans-area system integration and is at the initial stage of comprehensive development, says the white paper.

[b]China plans to increase its defense budget by 14.9 percent to 480.686 billion yuan (70 billion U.S. dollars) in 2009, according to Li Zhaoxing, spokesman for the NPC session.

Li said the increased spending is mainly for better treatment of servicemen, and for the purchase of equipment and construction of facilities to enhance the ability of the military force to defend the country in the age of information.

China's defense expenditure accounted for 1.4 percent of it's GDP in 2008. The ratio was 4 percent for the United States, and more than 2 percent for Britain, France and some other countries, Li said.

At the parliament session Thursday, Premier Wen Jiabao said China will this year continue to enhance the army's ability to respond to multiple security threats and accomplish a diverse array of military tasks.

On Dec. 26 last year, China sent two destroyers and one supply ship to escort merchant ships in the pirate-infested waters off Somalia, the first time the country has sent troops far a field to perform military escort missions since 1949.

Speculation arouse that China was building up its military power, changing its defensive policy and aiming to expand its military presence worldwide.

However, Huang Xueping, deputy director-general of the Information Office of the Ministry of National Defense, refuted the speculation, saying that China would never waver from a defense policy that is defensive in nature. (For now... Ponce)

As of Feb. 11, the escort fleet has carried out 19 escort missions for 45 ships.

The Somali mission shows China's efforts to undertake its international obligations as a permanent member of the UN Security Council and the determination to preserve regional stability and peace, Huang said.

"We will not interfere with other countries' affairs. But we are willing to carry out similar missions when our own security is threatened," said Qi Sanping.

Zhao Hui, another NPC deputy from the PLA, said the Somali mission was totally different from the overseas military missions by Western countries such as the United States. "We will only take action when our interests are infringed."

China is working backwards in order to raise no suspicion of what is really going on... instead of building the aircraft carriers and then fill them with their toys they are now building their toys, at different places, and THEN their aircraft carriers...

You must remember, or at least know, that around 80% of all Chinise companies are not owned by the people or even the government but by the military.


China wants to build aircraft carriers


Speaking on the fringes of the National People's Congress, China's rubber stamp parliament, the official added that China now had the technology to build an indigenous carrier and should use it.

"Building aircraft carriers is a symbol of an important nation. It is very necessary," said Admiral Hu Yanlin in an article published in the government-sanctioned China Daily newspaper bearing the headline "Build aircraft carriers soon".

"China has the capability to build aircraft carriers and should do so," he added in remarks that will fuel speculation that, after two decades of research, China is ready commission its first carrier.

The comments come two days after China announced a 14.9 per cent increase in defence spending for 2009, a rise that will have seen total Chinese military spending increase by more than 50 per cent since 2006.

The Chinese navy has been lobbying for permission to build an aircraft carrier since the 1980s, but analysts say it has been over-ruled by the country's Central Military Commission anxious that China's rise should not appear to upset regional security balances.

However remarks last December by a spokesman for China's National Defence Ministry that aircraft carriers were "a reflection of a nation's comprehensive power" and were needed to meet the demands of a modern navy were seen as an indication that China would build a carrier soon.

The Chinese government is highly sensitive to claims that its increased military spending will have a potentially destabilizing effect in the Asia-Pacific region.

Earlier this week Li Zhaoxing, the official spokesman at the National People's Congress, bristled at suggestions that China's increased military spending was grounds for concern.

"China's limited military force is mainly for safeguarding our sovereignty and territory and forms no threat to any other country," he said.

Defence analysts say that acquisition of aircraft carrier, which would allow China to project power into the South China Sea, could be seen as a first step towards a long-term goal of challenging US pre-eminence on the high seas.

More immediately, however, the decision to build a carrier could threaten to expose a renewed rift with neighbouring Japan, whose long-strained relations with China have eased in recent years to enable top-level visits.

Under Japan's "peace" constitution, aircraft carriers are considered an "offensive weapon" and a decision by China to build a carrier would, some analysts believe, increase pressure within Japan to reconsider its non-offensive military posture.

* Japan and China are expected to agree to exchange information and cooperate in operations against pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia, the first time the navies of the rival Asian superpowers will have worked in tandem.

Beijing has already dispatched warships to the Indian Ocean and two of Japan’s Maritime Self-Defence Force destroyers are expected to sail for the region before the end of the month.

While China is becoming the next super power...actually they've always been a quiet super power by virtue of their numbers, it is also helpful to remember that they carry the burden of feeding more people than any other nation. As they have more contact with the outside world, they won't be able to keep all of their citizens nearly as indoctrinated as they have in the past.

It is this inability to keep citizens indoctrinated that probably helped the fall of the Roman Empire along. Also, the greater a country's reach, the more difficult it becomes to generate enough cash flow, which might be what really fueld the break up of the USSR.

I don't think there's any use in being alarmed by China's development, as long as it doesn't impinge on local laws and customs.
