Chinese Missiles Could Close US Bases in Attack, Report Says

The Chinese military’s nonnuclear missiles have “the capability to attack” and close down five of six major U.S. Air Force bases in South Korea and Japan, an unpublished government report says.

China’s improved inventory of short- and medium-range missiles provides a “dramatic increase” in its ability to stifle U.S. military operations in the western Pacific, according to excerpts from the draft of the 2010 annual report that the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission is scheduled to release on Nov. 17.

China’s current force “may be sufficient” to destroy runways, parked aircraft, fuel and maintenance facilities at Osan and Kunsan air bases in South Korea, and Kadena, Misawa and Yokota bases in Japan, the report says. The facilities are within 700 miles of China.

This Christmas when shopping for gifts, if the product was "Made in Canada" it truly will be delivered from a red suit. Every good purchased from China is a purchase toward the investment of the Red Army.

:thumbsup: :VeryScared:

Kind of puts a new twist on Obama defying the Chinese when they argue with him about what he is doing to our economy and just printing more money, doesn't it?

Much ado about nothing. You honestly think China would want to kill their biggest consumer market?
China just has a lot of money and wants to upgrade their military and possibly engage in some saber rattling while locking up offshore petrol deposits. Expect them to expand their navy and increase their attempts to bring Taiwan into the fold w/o bloodshed.

Do you actually think that they will sit back and let him continue to devaluate their investment in this economy? Do you think that the Chinese will just take insults without doing something about it? Sooner or later something will occur. They do not have unlimited funds, compare their economy to ours, their GDP to ours, and rethink that last statement of your. They are just in their growth stage and not familiar with the ups and downs of economic growth. It won't take much for them to panic or get angry. It doesn't make sense to alienate a country with over 1,500,000,000 people.

Obama has been doing many things against what they have asked him not to do, and they do own most of our debt.

Does anyone remember who authorized Loral Space & Communications to sell the Chinese the technology needed for these missiles? I’ll give you a hint, he received large cash donations from Chinese bagman Johnny Chung, and his wife is now Secretary of State.

Does anyone remember a missile a couple of days ago lauched off the coast of California? Anyone out there think that it was not a message to the Chinese?

I have it on good authority, that was just a cloud formation, nothing to see here, move along. :Whistle

China is willing to continue to devalue their currency to keep the current trade imbalance. Therefore they should be fine with losing a little bit on their American debt. And the dirty little secret about the new QE2 debt? It is interest paid plus inflation, so China can rollover their old debt and buy the new debt that will payoff no matter how much Bernanke devalues the USD.
China will continue to whine when America condemns them but they realize they need us. And even Obama, the anti-war candidate, would react against American bases being hit by Chinese missiles.
