April 18, 2017 China , Russia Send Ships After U.S. Aircraft Carrier 0 Comments


By Sltrib, April 16, 2017

China and Russia have dispatched intelligence-gathering vessels from their navies to chase the USS Carl Vinson nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which is heading toward waters near the Korean Peninsula, multiple sources of the Japanese government revealed to The Yomiuri Shimbun.

It appears that both countries aim to probe the movements of the United States, which is showing a stance of not excluding military action against North Korea. The Self-Defense Forces are strengthening warning and surveillance activities in the waters and airspace around the area, according to the sources.

By Yahoo, April 13, 2017

BEIJING/PYONGYANG (Reuters) - Military force cannot resolve tension over North Korea, China said on Thursday, while an influential Chinese newspaper urged the North to halt its nuclear program in exchange for Chinese protection.

Concerns have been growing that North Korea could soon conduct a sixth nuclear test or more missile launches in defiance of U.N. sanctions and stark warnings from the United States that a policy of patience was over.

China, India To Overtake U.S. Economy By 2050

February 09, 2017 China , India To Overtake U.S. Economy By 2050 0 Comments


By USA News, Feb. 07, 2017

Though the size of the global economy is expected to more than double by 2050, a new report from PricewaterhouseCoopers suggests America will no longer be king of the hill a few decades from now.

That title instead will go to China, which currently plays second fiddle to the U.S. in terms of gross domestic product but which is expected to overtake the American economy by 2030.

Mattis: U.S. military not strong enough to deter Russia, China

January 15, 2017 China , Mattis: U.S. military not strong enough to deter Russia 0 Comments


By WND Jan. 12, 2017

(WASHINGTON EXAMINER) Retired Gen. James Mattis said Thursday that he does not believe the U.S. military is strong enough to deter Russia and China.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, asked Mattis if America has a strong enough military to be able to deter against those threats and he responded “No, sir.”

Mattis was speaking before the committee at his confirmation hearing to serve as President-elect Trump’s next secretary of defense. During the hearing, he talked about the state of the world order.

January 23, 2016 And Iran Accessed Hillary's Server , China 0 Comments


By Steve Guest, Jan 21, 2016 Daily Caller

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates says, “I think the odds are pretty high” countries like Iran, China, and Russia hacked Hillary Clinton’s email server.

In an interview with Hugh Hewitt on Thursday, the former CIA director said “the Pentagon acknowledges that they get attacked about 100,000 times a day.”

Hewitt asked Gates, “[A]re you surprised by the news that continues to come out about the former Secretary of State’s server and the fact that the intelligence community’s inspector general has said there was a lot of very highly classified information on her server?”

China, U.S. Reach Agreement on High-Speed Rail Before Xi Visit

China, U.S. Reach Agreement on High-Speed Rail Before Xi Visit

September 18, 2015 China , U.S. Reach Agreement on High-Speed Rail Before Xi Visit 0 Comments



By Bloomberg News, Sep 17, 2015 

A China Railway Group-led consortium and XpressWest Enterprises LLC will form a joint venture to build a high-speed railway linking Las Vegas and Los Angeles, the first Chinese-made bullet-train project in the U.S.

Construction of the 370-kilometer (230-mile) Southwest Rail Network will begin as soon as next September, according to a statement from Shu Guozeng, an official with the Communist Party’s leading group on financial and economic affairs. The project comes after four years of negotiations and will be supported by $100 million in initial capital. The statement didn’t specify the project’s expected cost or completion date.

The agreement, signed days before President Xi Jinping’s state visit to the U.S., is a milestone in China’s efforts to market its high-speed rail technology in advanced economies. The country has been pushing the technology primarily in emerging markets -- often with a sales pitch from Premier Li Keqiang-- as a means to project political influence. A $567 million contract last October to supply trains for Boston’s subway system was China’s first rail-related deal in the U.S.

Trump Ends Debate With, "We Can't Do Anything Right"


By The Associated Press, Aug 02, 2015 

The Latest on the first Republican debate of the 2016 campaign for president:

___

10:55 p.m.

He opened the GOP debate, and billionaire presidential candidate Donald Trump closed it by promising to fix America.

"We can't do anything right," he said, adding that "we don't win anymore" against China, Japan or Mexico on trade.

Trump has been criticized for, among other things, lacking a detailed policy platform.

He was the last to speak at the debate, and Trump closed by promising to strengthen the military, take care of veterans, end Obamacare and make "our country great again."

___

10:45 p.m.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio earned some of the loudest applause of Thursday's first GOP debate when he offered a zinger hitting Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.

"Well, first let me say, I think God has blessed us. He's blessed the Republican Party with some very good candidates," he said. "The Democrats can't even find one."

Chinese Factory Replaces 90% Of Humans With Robots, Production Soars

By Conner Forrest, July 30, 2015 Techre Public

The gravest fear that has rippled through humanity from the technology industry is that, someday, almost all of our jobs will be replaced by robots.

While that fear is often laughed off as something that will only happen far into the future, the truth is that it's actually happening right now.

In Dongguan City, located in the central Guangdong province of China, a technology company has set up a factory run almost exclusively by robots, and the results are fascinating.

The Changying Precision Technology Company factory in Dongguan has automated production lines that use robotic arms to produce parts for cell phones. The factory also has automated machining equipment, autonomous transport trucks, and other automated equipment in the warehouse.

The Really Worrying Financial Crisis Is Happening In China--Not Greece

By Jeremy Warner July 8, 2015, Telegraph.co.uk

While all Western eyes remain firmly focused on Greece, a potentially much more significant financial crisis is developing on the other side of world. In some quarters, it’s already being called China’s 1929 – the year of the most infamous stock market crash in history and the start of the economic catastrophe of the Great Depression.

In any normal summer, a 30pc fall in the Chinese stock market – a loss of value roughly equivalent to the UK’s entire economic output last year – after an ascent which had seen share prices more than double within the space of a year would have been front page news across the globe.

The dramatic series of government interventions to stem the panic – hitherto unsuccessful, it should be added – would similarly have been up there at the top of the news agenda. Yet the pantomime of the Greek debt talks, together with the tragi-comedy of will they, won’t they leave the euro, has relegated the story to little more than a footnote - even though 940 companies, more than a third, have now suspended trading on China’s two main indices.

"'absolutely' a risk of the U.S. and China going to war..."

Exclusive: China Warns U.S. Surveillance Plan

By Jim Sciutto, Chief National Security Correspondent, May 21, 2015, CNN

Above the South China Sea (CNN)The Chinese navy issued warnings eight times as a U.S. surveillance plane on Wednesday swooped over islands that Beijing is using to extend its zone of influence.

The series of man-made islands and the massive Chinese military build-up on them have alarmed the Pentagon, which is carrying out the surveillance flights in order to make clear the U.S. does not recognize China's territorial claims. The militarized islands have also alarmed America's regional allies.

Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell told CNN's Erin Burnett Wednesday night that the confrontation indicates there is "absolutely" a risk of the U.S. and China going to war sometime in the future.

A CNN team was given exclusive access to join in the surveillance flights over the contested waters, which the Pentagon allowed for the first time in order to raise awareness about the challenge posed by the islands and the growing U.S. response.

China Preparing For Drone Warfare 

By Bill Gertz, May 8, 2015, Washington Free Beacon

China’s military plans to produce nearly 42,000 land-based and sea-based unmanned weapons and sensor platforms as part of its continuing, large-scale military buildup, the Pentagon’s annual report on the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) disclosed Friday.

China currently operates several armed and unarmed drone aircraft and is developing long-range range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for both intelligence gathering and bombing attacks.

“The acquisition and development of longer-range UAVs will increase China’s ability to conduct long-range reconnaissance and strike operations,” the report said.

China’s ability to use drones is increasing and the report said China “plans to produce upwards of 41,800 land- and sea-based unmanned systems, worth about $10.5 billion, between 2014 and 2023.”

Obama: ‘We Are Going To Contribute $3 Billion to the Green Climate Fund'

Terence P. Jeffrey, Nov. 15, 2014, CNS News

This fund to which Obama intends to funnel $3 billion in U.S. taxpayer money lists among its board members Ziqian Liang, the deputy director general of the International Department of the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China. It also lists as board members Ayman Shasly, and international policies consultant with the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources of Saudi Arabia; and Jorge Ferrer Rodriquez, a minister counsellor with the Multilateral Affairs and International Law General Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba.

“We cannot forget the need to lead on the global fight against climate change,” Obama said in his speech at the University of Queensland.

“Here in the Asia Pacific, nobody has more at stake when it comes to thinking about and then acting on climate change,” Obama said. “Here, a climate that increases in temperature will mean more extreme and frequent storms, more flooding, rising seas that submerge Pacific islands. Here in Australia, it means longer droughts, more wildfires. The incredible natural glory of the Great Barrier Reef is threated. Worldwide, this past summer was the hottest on record. No nation is immune, and every nation has a responsibility to do its part.”

Senior Intel Officer Removed After Controversial Comments On China

David Larter, Nov. 10, 2014, Navy Times

Capt. James Fanell, the director of intelligence and information operations at U.S. Pacific Fleet, has been removed from that position by PACFLT boss Adm. Harry Harris and reassigned within the command, Navy officials confirmed.

Fanell warned during a February public appearance that a recent Chinese amphibious exercise led naval intelligence to assess that China's strategy was to be able to launch a "short, sharp war" with Japan, an unusually frank assessment about a closely watched region.

Gum-Chewing, Limo-Eschewing Obama Riles Some Chinese

Calum MacLeod, Nov. 11, 2014, USA Today

Ahead of an economic summit in Beijing, billed as the biggest international event in the Chinese capital since the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, authorities demanded that residents brush up their typically brusque manners. The Communist Party launched a six-month campaign to make Beijingers behave in a more civilized fashion to welcome the world.

Turns out the rude one, in the eyes of some Chinese Internet users, was the most prominent guest.

Live television coverage on China's top state-run channel Monday night showed the leaders of the 21 Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) member states arriving in iconic socialist limousines, along red-lit avenues, at the Water Cube, the Olympic swimming venue.

Giant Panda ‘Faked Pregnancy For Extra Treats And Nicer Accommodation

By Mark Molloy and AFP, Aug. 27, 2014, Telegraph.co.uk

The planned first ever live-broadcast of a panda giving birth has been cancelled amid claims the expectant mother faked her pregnancy.

Giant panda Ai Hin may have tricked staff at a breeding centre in China to receive more pampering and extra food rations, according to AFP.

The six-year-old had shown signs of pregnancy last month, according to staff at the Chengdu Breeding Research Centre, in China's southwestern province of Sichuana.

But shortly after being moved to a single room with air conditioning and around-the-clock care her “behaviour and physiological indexes returned to normal”.

Experts believe Ai Hin was enjoying the extra attention and additional treats before staff realised she wasn’t actually pregnant.

China Goes Outlaw, Harasses U.S. P-8 Aircraft Over South China Sea

Chinese Shenyang J-11 fighter jet 
Source: IBD
By Investors Business Daily Editorials, Aug. 26, 2014

Aug. 26, 2014, News.investors.com

Military Superiority: Beijing's belligerence gets bolder as a Chinese fighter gets within 20 feet of a U.S. reconnaissance aircraft. It's time the administration felt the need for speed in dealing with this rising threat.

In a move that, as Yogi Berra might say, is deja vu all over again, China gave the U.S. a pointed reminder that it takes seriously its claims in the South China Sea and that America is not welcome in what Beijing considers its territorial waters.

The latest incident involved the intercept of a U.S. Navy P-8 anti-submarine reconnaissance aircraft, a military version of the Boeing 737, by a Chinese J-11 supersonic fighter — itself Beijing's version of the Russian SU-27 fighter — as the U.S. jet flew in what we consider international airspace near China's Hainan Island.

Those familiar with the Tom Cruise flick "Top Gun" will remember the scene where his character Maverick flew his F-14 Tomcat upside down over a Russian MIG while making the international gesture of, er, friendship. The Chinese pilot made multiple passes at the P-8, at one point flying at a 90-degree angle to show the P-8 crew its weapons load. In effect, he extended Beijing's middle digit to the U.S.

The incident was reminiscent of one that took place on April 1, 2001, when a Chinese J-8 collided with and forced down an American EP-3 surveillance aircraft that was flying near Hainan. Beijing held the crew hostage for 11 days.
