Rumsfeld warns Asia officials of China's military advances

SINGAPORE - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said today that the
rapid development of China's missile capabilities, air force and navy
put Asia's military balance at risk, and that the Pentagon believes
Beijing's buildup has been far more extensive than its leaders have
admitted.
In his most blunt assessment to date about the global implications of
China's efforts to build a state-of-the-art arsenal, Rumsfeld warned
that the expansion threatens not only the delicate situation between
China and Taiwan but also the strategic equilibrium in a region
increasingly vital to U.S. interests.

Makes ya wonder just who they're gearing up to fight and why... but
then communist regimes never needed a reason. Not even a fake one,
like the Dubya administration.

"China's external behavior during the Maoist era was a contradictory
phenomenon. Despite its tendency toward using force, Mao's China was
not an expansionist power. It is essential to make a distinction
between the pursuit of centrality and the pursuit of dominance in
international affairs in terms of the fundamental goal of Chinese
foreign policy. While Mao and his comrades were never shy about using
force in pursuing China's foreign policy goals, what they hoped to
achieve was not the expansion of China's political and military control
of foreign territory or resources -- which was, for Mao and his
comrades, too inferior an aim -- but, rather, the spread of their
influence to other "hearts and minds" around the world. Mao fully
understood that only when China's superior moral position in the world
had been recognized by other peoples would the consolidation of his
continuous revolution's momentum at home be assured. "
