China dismisses Pentagon report - Asia - Pacific - International Herald Tribune

China dismisses Pentagon report - Asia - Pacific - International Herald Tribune

Humm. In reaction to the US report of Chinese military buildup there wa not too big of a tantrum by China's Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing over this. He said that China would continue to "pursue a path of peaceful development." He also said "China not only poses no threat to anyone, we also are willing to establish friendship and all kinds of win-win cooperation with other countries to push forward cooperative development."

Well, China's military budget has grown in double digits since the mid 1990's. It has those Short Range Ballistic Missiles, all 650-730 wedged across from Taiwan with more coming every day. It's increased the size of it's submarine fleet, it's continued to grow it's troop transportation ability across the Taiwan Straights. Yup, our mistake. All peaceful. And if you believe that then you've probably sent money to those Nigerian scammers and anxiously wait to see your bank account fill up with free money.
