Oops, that should read "By Cheney in '92." Not '02. Typo.
One word: Definitely.
Exactly..
Wonder what other military wind falls the Clintons SOLD the Chinese other than Aegis.. No way could China ramp up their technology this fast.. The Clintons of course being a small part of the treasonous under ground called the State Department..
And another Thank You to Bill Clinton for being so generious with his sharing of our technology with the Chi-Coms.
Indeed his legacy lives on.
or (as someone else noted here weeks ago...) the US could then declare all those T-notes issued to the chicom null and void. Don't know a thing about how effective this would be, can u help?
Clinton knows nothing I would guess.
Future fish habitat.
China's Navy (Peoples Liberation Army Navy (PLAN)) has one slight problem, its chain of command reports to the Army. That is different from our organization which the Navy has high ranking Admirals equal to the Army's generals. Our Navy will develop their own doctrines subordinate to joint services needs. Chinese admirals build their navy subordinate to their Army's needs. The way I see it, China's navy is built to support their Army's needs to invade Taiwan. Question is what happens to the fleet after they take back Taiwan. If China wants to build a true blue seas navy, they must make their navy independent from their Army, otherwise they lose in the defense budget fights with the Army projects. That will be the first sign that China will build a blue seas navy to challenge US power in the Pacific.
ahhhh...the power of positive thinking.
The parallels between the Chinese DDG and our DDG are way too numerous to not be suspect.

I've heard it before, the only nation in the world that could beat us in a land war would be China in their sheer numbers. All they needed was a Navy to get here.
At 6,000 tons, I doubt it. These ships are hopped-up frigates and will be used to provide air cover for the invasion convoy.
If this system is a revision of the Russian system, then maybe getting the radar was the reason for buying that old Russian carrier.
The People’s Liberation Army Navy of the People's Republic of China: from the Abacus Room to the Computer Room in one easy presidency...
Thanks...Agree, a very interesting Article.
China is rapidly expanding its submarine force to about 85 by 2010, about one-third more than today.They want to become the dominant power in the western Pacific, to displace the United States.China is embarking on a $10 billion submarine acquisition and upgrade program and is buying destroyers and frigates and equipping them with modern antiship cruise missiles.They’re purchasing a great deal of relatively modern equipment from Russia.China, which has become the world’s third largest shipbuilder, has produced about 100 amphibious ships, and four tank landing ships are under construction.
By assisting in upgrading China’s weapons system, Israel violated its commitment not to transfer U.S. technology to China without Washington’s permission. Israel is China’s second-largest arms supplier, after Russia.Israel surreptitiously aids chicom military to the detriment of america.
Chinese spies are all around America, especially Washington, D.C. The PLAN has stolen all kinds of equipment from America. The FBI and CIA know this. It is an open secret.
Trade deficits fund beijing military spending Two times over.trade deficit (the largest bilateral imbalance on the planet) is enough to fund the Communists’ real defense budget more than twice.The Chinese military is using our money to buy weapons -- submarines, ICBMs and fighter jets.
Thank you Mr. Clintoon!!!Thank you!!!!!!
Thank you, Billary, for selling out our country.
Not if the Chinese already transferred them to a third party, say U.S. Pension funds...
Quote: Are they going to name any of their new aegis type ships the "PLAN Clinton"?
Another alterantive name could be the "wal mart"
However large their navy becomes, they'll never match our coed crews, our pregnancy rates nor our day care centers.
Which is why the Taiwanese will be smart to develop nuclear weapons and missile technology. In concert with the Israeli's they can do great things...
