The Chinese are preparing for an assault on Taiwan and our navy in the Pacific, during which they will blind our sataellites with a variety of technologies. That should be painfully obvious. They plan to kill our soldiers, cripple our fleet, and dominate Asia. Protest letters are not going to stop them.

The Wizard of Oz: "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain"

The Chinese Gov: "Don't worry about our huge military build up".

Isn't fantasy wonderful.

The Global Times, a newspaper under the Chinese Communist Party's organ People's Daily, quoted a Chinese military expert as saying that the United States was "being a little bit nervous" in a story headlined, "Unreasonable thoughts by U.S. over China's anti-missile weapons."

(wiping sweat from my forehead) Whew! You hear that Mr. President? The Chinese said everything is cool. Yall can go back to bed now.

It seems to me that Dear Leader doesn't want to die of old age or natural causes.

I don't really understand why China wouldn't have a right and an obligation to her people to develop this kind of technology. It's scary maybe because China is not exactly our best friend, but then again we've got some pretty scary weapons too. They have to be able to defend themselves, and in this day and age when the big powers in the world use satellites to orchestrate attacks it makes sense that nations would want to be able to counter against the threats satellites pose.

China has the potential to be far more dangerous than Japan ever was. China is an ancient and proud country that is trying to overcome an inferiority complex gained after being humbled by numerous other countries over the past several centuries. Britain humbled China during several Opium Wars. Some of their lands such as Hong Kong and Macau became foreign possessions. Other countries controlled China, as witnessed during the Boxer Rebellion. Don't forget the Japanese invasion of Manchuria and other provinces. The Chinese "lost face" and have a historical axe to grind.
