China is developing armed forces that can conduct offensive operations around the world, a GOP presidential candidate has warned.Interesting. I wonder about his data. Usually what you read in the military journals is that China lacks air transport, amphibious capability etc. The only exception is Africa, where China has begun to garrison entire entire brigades (e.g. Sudan, to protect its oil interests), and has sent numerous advisors etc.
>Interesting. I wonder about his data.<
Being the ranking member on the Armed Services Committee no doubt provides Rep. Hunter all the data he needs, I would think.
Unfortunately, President Clinton provided China with much of our technology which would have been better left in our own files, rather than enhance China’s weaponry. But then, shucks, he needed the money.

China has been slowly but steadily increasing its power-projection capabilities—especially with recent increases in economic resources.
