China's 'aggressive' buildup called worry

The politicians in America have no concern for our national security. That is why they complete ignore the China military threat. We mustn't remain silent while they allow our enemies to grow stronger while we grow weaker. It could mean an end to U.S. to America as a super power. Which would mean we could be blackmailed into submission.

"China's military buildup is worrying to both the U.S. military and American allies in Asia, the commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific told Congress Wednesday. Adm. Robert F. Willard, head of the U.S. Pacific Command, stated in testimony before the House Armed Services Committee that China's communist government and military have stated that their arms buildup is defensive, but he said the claim is questionable. China's "powerful economic engine is also funding a military modernization program that has raised concerns in the region — a concern also shared by the U.S. Pacific Command," Adm. Willard said. He said China's announced interest in supporting a peaceful and stable political environment to support Beijing's overall development "is difficult to reconcile with new military capabilities that appear designed to challenge U.S. freedom of action in the region and, if necessary, enforce China's influence over its neighbors — including our regional allies and partners." The comments were unusually candid for a senior combatant commander. In the past, most U.S. military commanders sought to emphasize that China's arms buildup did not pose a threat. According to the Pentagon's report on China's military, Chinese military forces have been developing an array of advanced weaponry, including new nuclear ballistic and cruise missiles, anti-satellite weaponry and cyber-attack capabilities, in addition to new more conventional ships, aircraft and ground-warfare capabilities."
