The
Financial Times (FT) quoted on Saturday several sources saying that
"the Chinese military launched a rocket that carried a hypersonic glide
vehicle" in August and judged it to be a "nuclear-capable hypersonic
missile." According to the FT article, the missile "flew through
low-orbit space" and could help China "negate" US missile defense
systems which are designed to target the fixed parabolic trajectory of a
ballistic missile. The progress of the Chinese military has "caught US
intelligence by surprise," the report said.
If the FT report is
to be believed, it means that there is a key new member in China's
nuclear deterrence system, which is a new blow to the US' mentality of
strategic superiority over China.
It is meaningless to discuss
the credibility of the FT report. But it is important to note the
unstoppable trend that China is narrowing the gap with the US in some
key military technologies as China is continuously developing its
economic and technological strength. China doesn't need to engage in an
"arms race" with the US - it is capable of weakening the US' overall
advantages over China by developing military power at its own pace.
In
the long term, the comparison between the military powers of China and
the US will be in the following paradigm：The US' overall military
advantage will be maintained, while its air force and navy have higher
quality and its global deployment and projection capabilities will be
unmatched by China's. Meanwhile, China won't have any will to globally
challenge the US' dominant position in military sphere, and the US
shouldn't worry about losing its military hegemony.
However,
China's military buildup will focus on the Taiwan Straits and the South
China Sea. It is inevitable that China will take an upper hand over the
US military strength in these areas thanks to the geographical proximity
and the continuous increase of China's input. Chinese society has not
only strong expectations for this, but also strong determination and
corresponding ability to realize this reversal. The US' conventional
military superiority around the world will not translate into a
guarantee of superiority in these regions.
The US is very
concerned about China's nuclear development. There should be no doubt
that China has no plans to build a nuclear force of the same size as
that of the US. In other words, China has no intention of launching a
"nuclear arms race" with the US. However, China will certainly improve
the quality of its nuclear deterrence to ensure that the US completely
eliminates the idea of nuclear blackmail against China at any critical
moment and its idea of using nuclear forces to make up for the weakness
that US' conventional forces cannot crush China.
Greater
survivability and penetration ability of Chinese nuclear missiles is
clearly being accelerated through a variety of new missiles. Such
development will ensure that neither country's nuclear forces will be
used as a tool to solve regional problems. This would ensure that the
damage to peace, if any, would be limited and that the region would not
see a deadly collision between major powers.
The US is constantly
releasing rumors that China is strengthening its nuclear strategic
tools, which is believed to pave the way for public opinion in the US to
further increase its military expenditure from a high starting point.
But no matter how much military spending the US increases and how much
new equipment it procures, it is impossible for the US to continue enjoy
overwhelming military superiority in China's coastal areas.

DARPA has developed AI Robotic Soldiers and AI Weaponry for the US Forces. They have been tested in the Middle East battlefields. The murder of Iran's Chief Nuclear Scientist was done with the use of an AI Weapon mounted of a truck. It was inserted by the US with the help of Israel's intelligence organisations.
ReplyDeleteRussia and China Warships had cross a strait in Japan and may visit Canada and USA soon. USA are shiting in the pants, must print more moneys liao to increase military spending. Many Wealthy peoples in USA are relocating to protect their money to be taxed. News of Google billionaires are setting home in sg.
ReplyDeleteMilitary superiority had already been shown by the USA long ago in Vietnam and Afghanistan. Did they achieve what it is purported to achieve with such superiority? These two countries are not that advance in military countermeasures and yet did not succumb to USA's military might.
ReplyDeleteChina must be very backward for the USA and the West to think they can ride roughshod over Chinese coastal defence. It they think so, let it be. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, right?
Chinese and Russian warships should manoeuvre through the Caribbean and Cuba, English Channel and Straits of Gibraltar just like USA and UK sailing its warships all over the world as it likes.
ReplyDeleteChina and Russia should combine force and teach the US and UK a lesson.
It is not a matter of should. They must do it on a tit for tat basis. They can tout freedom of navigation, so could China and Russia.
ReplyDeleteBut I think that will elicit hysteria and rabies or mad dog disease in the USA and the West.
