China shows off its military reach

Perhaps the biggest message the communist government has sent "is that China is no longer preparing for a Taiwan Strait crisis, but seeks to establish military preeminence across East Asia beyond Taiwan," said John Tkacik, an Asian affairs expert and former State Department official.

This new ICBM is important, Mr. Fisher said, because it shows that China could reach parity in warheads with the U.S. very quickly if the Obama administration reduces the level of its nuclear warheads below 1,000.

"When that happens, the U.S.-led alliance system in Asia will unravel, as Japan, South Korea and others will likely opt for their own nuclear capabilities, having no assurance that the U.S. can 'extend' deterrence," he said.



"Even without new surprises, it is clear that China is making progress in complicating or even restricting the potential freedom to maneuver for the U.S. and its allies in the Western Pacific," said Mr. Roy.

President Clinton was the one who renewed China Most Favorite Nation Status.
He is the one who bolstered the chinese regime.
So, President Obama, watcha gonna do now?

Well they are a communist country after all isn't that this administrations goal?

Beijing Flexes Military Strength on 60th Anniversary of Communist Takeover

In Hong Kong, which has Western-style civil liberties as part of its special semiautonomous status, hundreds of people protested Thursday, denouncing China's human rights record during 60 years of communist rule.


About 200 people marched through the downtown financial district, chanting, "We want human rights. We don't want a sanitized National Day."

But in our Presidents eyes all these countries are equal and should have the same capabilities and streangths.  I hope something opens his eye before we all pay a price.
