Dissuading China

Posted by Matt in May 15th, 2008

What about stop trading with China? Wait, that would be inconvenient. Plus it would lower my standard of living.

Wouldn’t war and death lower your standard of living even more?

From the article:

The US would like to prevent China from developing certain offensive military capabilities. A dissuasion strategy has its charms, but it lacks a political context and can be very expensive.

Commentary by Peter Buxbaum in Washington, DC for ISN Security Watch (15/05/08)

Of all the world’s actors, the US security establishment is perhaps most concerned with China as a future rival. Each year the Pentagon submits to Congress an annual report addressing the military power of the People’s Republic of China.

This year’s report warned that “the pace and scope of China’s military transformation have increased in recent years, fueled by acquisition of advanced foreign weapons, continued high rates of investment in its domestic defense and science and technology industries, and far reaching organizational and doctrinal reforms of the armed forces. China’s expanding and improving military capabilities are changing East Asian military balances.”

Another significant strategic document, the Pentagon’s Quadrennial Defense Review, released in 2006, pinpointed China as having “the greatest potential to compete militarily with the United States and field disruptive technologies that could over time offset traditional US military advantages absent US countermeasures.”

The ‘pre-deterrent’

But what countermeasures should the US employ?

Taiwan holds largest military exercise in years
Taiwan held its largest military exercise in 20 years on last Thursday in Northern Taiwan. The Han Kuang military exercises are held every year to counter a potential invasion by China. President Chen Shui-bian spoke after the military exercises, saying the drills were a success. He also took the opportunity to once again call on the legislature to pass a budget for the purchase of weapons from the United States. Chen said the arms are necessary to enhance the nation's defenses. Chen said Taiwan's allies -- including the United States and Japan -- are concerned about Taiwan's ability to defend itself against an attack from China. He added that tensions are on the rise in North Korea and the Middle East, and that each country has a duty to improve its defenses. Taiwan's legislature has...

Rise of the Romanian Forces
This is an ideea for a mod for Generals Zero Hour! It continues the storyline from the game. After China defeated the GLA, one year after the GLA started to regroup and atack the chinese. They stole romanian vehicles, converted them in to fighting vehicles and started an atack against China. Romania decided that it was time to act and to prove the world that it has a great army and it can defeat the GLA! This is fictional ideea, so don't bother me with politics, or stuff like that ! Română: Aceasta este ideea mea pentru o modificare la Generals Zero Hour! Se continuă povestea din joc.

Chinese Civilization for Five Thousand Years1-4Xia夏 & Shang商
Wu Ding (Chinese: 武丁, born Zi Zhao, Chinese: 子昭) was a Shang Dynasty King of China. His is the first historically verifiable name in the history of Chinese dynasties. The records of later historians that recorded his reign were long thought to be little more than legends until contemporary records of his reign were discovered in oracle script inscriptions on bones unearthed at the ruins of his capital Yinxu in 1899. In the 6th year of his father's reign, he was ordered to live at He (Chinese: 河) and study at Ganpan (Chinese: 甘盘). These early years spent among the common people allowed him to become familiar with their daily problems. In the Records of the Grand Historian he was listed by Sima Qian as the twenty-second Shang king, succeeding his father Xiao Yi (Chinese:...

The Mongols and Yuan Dynasty Kublai KhanAt the end of the 1230s, the Mongols turned their attention to Tibet. At that time, Mongol armies had already conquered Northern China, much of Central Asia, and were operating in Russia and what is now Ukraine. The Tibetan nobility, however, was fragmented and mainly occupied with internal strife. Göden, a brother of Güyük, entered the country with military force in 1240. A second invasion led to the submission of almost all Tibetan states. In 1244, Göden ordered the Sakya Pandita to meet him in Liangzhou, and in 1247 Sakya became the Mongolian representative in Tibet. Sakya was accompagnied by two of...

US threatens Russia to STOP Georgian Conflict
World News!!! Kremlin risks compromising its role in Western institutions like NATO, the World Trade Organization and the Group of Eight (G8) because of its military activity in Georgia and in the breakaway provinces of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. US Defense Secretary Robert Gates warned that Russia's intervention in neighboring Georgia - a future NATO member - would lead to 'consequences.' My response to this..... Russia fears no consequences!! My Russia is stronger than NATO!! Russian conventional and nuclear weapons, Army, Navy and Global missiles are more than enough to show the entire world a spectacular fireworks. Russia has a long bloody history of warfare and Putin knows best because he served the KGB. Putin recognizes Saakashvili only understand the language of force...

党旗更鲜艳 The Party Flag is Brighter Than Ever 谭晶 Tan Jing
Communist party song by Tan Jing. Let us not forget the rise of China and the recognition of overseas Chinese is because of CCP. Without CCP, China is nothing, a piece of meat on the plate to be cut up by others. 200,000 KMT army chased around by 6000 Japs and lost Manchuria. Shameful history of KMT and Republic of China. 党旗更鲜艳 The Party Flag is Brighter Than Ever 谭晶 Tan Jing
