\_ So are you really a Right Wing Kook or are you a liberal
who is trying to make the Right look bad by posting these
nutty Right Wing conspiracy posts?
\_ So its nutty to post excerpts from DOD papers?
Interesting.
\_ It is *seriously* nutty to think that that diatribe
was a DoD paper. Do you know what "snip" means?
\_ Stop selling us poor Taiwanese outdated Kidd class
destroyers at exorbitant prices. Tell president
Bush to sell us some Aegis destroyers, so we can
help US fight PRC to the last Taiwanese.
\_ I wish the administration would.
\_ You don't live in Taiwan, I am. I can tell you straight
out that people 1/4 of people in Taiwan probably will
welcome the PLA with open arm. 1/2 of them won't care.
Most, and I mean *MOST* of established Taiwan company
will move their headquarter to Shanghai or Beijing.
The rest of so called pro-Taiwan-Independent fanatic will
run for their lives. Only HANDFUL of people will be
fight until the bitter end.
If you TRUELY care about Taiwan's self termination, then,
You should first cut the dependence on all foreign power,
including USA, including Japan. Then, You should move your
sorry ass to this island and *YOU* should fight to the last
blood. Don't ask *OTHER* people to sacrafise their lives
for *YOUR* political ideology.
\_ You must be commie idiot. No Taiwanese, blue green or
red, would welcome PLA, and the only reason Taiwan is dependent
on foreign power is because PRC is threatening Taiwan.
Besides what you call "dependence" is in fact a symbiotic
relationship.
\_ The 3rd color is Yellow, get your politic straight.
Taiwan can never achieve self termination if it depends
upon foreign power. Further, situation in Taiwan is
complicated. The biggest threat from PRC is *NOT*
its 2 million strong army nor its ballistic missles.
Rather, it's their massive cheap labors *AND* fast
rising companies which compete in the same turf as
Taiwan's traditional stronghold. Further, rather you
like it or not, Taiwan's economy is depend upon the
mainland. That is why with exception of few fanatic
like you, most of people in Taiwan see mainland more
of an opportunity than threat. |

| www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/962996/posts The Chinese army has (People's Liberation Army, or PLA) developed a new version of its DF-15 missile - also known as the CSS-6. The new version is reported to be guided by advanced satellite navigation systems. The upgrade will allow the missile to accurately strike targets in Okinawa and Taiwan. These components have serious dual-use applications, since the acquisition of reliable GPS data can enhance, to varying degrees, the capacity of militaries to field highly accurate cruise and ballistic missiles, such as those used to intimidate Taiwan during March 1996. Seventh Fleet in the Pacific, and possibly circumscribe their ability to provide an effective deterrent in a crisis over Taiwan," states the Rand Corporation report. Clinton Legacy in Action Despite the warning from the Rand Corporation, Clinton personally approved the transfer of satellite navigation technology directly to the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). The People's Liberation Army has over 450 missiles pointed at Taiwan and is currently adding new missiles at a rate of over 75 a year. Instead of slowing or halting missile production, China has in fact increased its production. Defense intelligence sources expect China to increase the rate of missile production to 100 a year by 2005. An expanded arsenal of conventional SRBMs (Short Range Ballistic Missiles) and LACMs (Land Attack Cruise Missiles) targeted against critical facilities, such as key airfields and C4I nodes, will complicate Taiwan's ability to conduct military operations. By 2005, China will have deployed both the CSS-6 and CSS-7 SRBM," states the Pentagon report. The 2003 Pentagon report also outlines exactly how China intends to make use of its new missile technology. Russian and Israeli Weapons The Pentagon also outlined where China is currently spending its weapons money. According to the 2003 report, China has purchased over $2 billion worth of Russian weapons per year for the last four years. The primary benefactor of the Chinese arms buys is the Chinese air force. The PLAAF has acquired Russian Sukhoi Su-27 and Su-30 supersonic strike fighter jets. The Pentagon also believes that China has acquired a limited number of naval-strike versions of the Su-30 fighter. The report also mentions the newly developed J-10 strike fighter. Chinese sources indicate that a small number of the advanced fighters are in service, but the Pentagon report noted that it expects the supersonic jet to enter service in 2005. China has also added to its EW (Electronic Warfare) arsenal with both new hardware and information warfare weaponry. The Israeli Harpy can loiter over a battlefield for extended periods of time, searching for radars or communications radios, and then strike when it finds a target. Information Warfare "The Chinese currently are focusing on eliminating specific deficiencies they have in both areas of IO/IW (Information Operations/Information Warfare) technology and training. The PLA is engaged in efforts to improve the staff planning process by applying joint forces concepts learned from studying foreign IO/IW doctrine," states the Pentagon report. Public disclosure of these IO/IW exercises serves as an informational tool for the PLA to the future importance of IO/IW in Chinese military doctrine and reaffirms China's intent to continue developing and improving its IO/IW capability," notes the Pentagon report. The new missiles and increased production rate comes as a shock to China apologists, who contend that China will halt its weapons buildup. The facts surrounding the massive increase in the Chinese military, however, clearly show that there is no end to the buildup increase in sight. China's naval forces will continue their transition from a large coastal defense force to a smaller, more modern force able to conduct limited sea control operations against regional opponents in the East and South China Seas. China's air force will continue to assimilate greater numbers of fourth generation aircraft into its inventory, upgrade its regional IADS (Integrated Air Defense Systems), and expand its airborne refueling and AEW (Airborne Early Warning) capabilities. China will retain a numerical advantage over Taiwan in terms of both personnel and weapons," concludes the 2003 Pentagon report. The American Freedom Network with NewsMax contributor Dr. |
