China will soon deploy its first road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles, a new long-range strategic weapon whose predicted range includes the western United States, The Washington Times has learned.

U.S. intelligence agencies detected the Chinese military's formation of the first missile units equipped with Dong Feng-31 missiles in July, and the Pentagon believes the first missiles will be fielded by the end of the year. Dong Feng means "East Wind" in Chinese.

well, remember also that the chinese launched the second submarine of the xia class about two months ago, and this one have 14 missiles,(with w-88 warhead copy). the submarine do not have to leave coastal waters to hit the western united states.

"A second U.S. official disagreed with the Pentagon's assessment. This official said deployment by the end of the year is "in the realm of possibility but not likely" because of the need for more testing."

So there is a dispute..

And a second question:

China has 20 long range nukes right now - IS THAT the total that they possess?

You might want to check out the latest nice-nice "arrangements" that the Bush crew is making vis-a-vis Chinese ICBMs.

I don't think you die hard Republicans "get it".. The Bush administation is fluffin the pillows and jumping in bed with the Chi-coms at this very minute. Just look up this story from Newsmax.com http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/9/3/210022.shtml When will people wake up and realize that ANYONE in washington can be paid off by the big corporations to get what they want. We (the ignorant and nieve and gullable and loyal to the republicans and any other conservative voice) are not going to stand in the way of this New World order, Global movement that eventially will not include are Soverien constitutional way of Government. Heck, They got Rush in there back pocket by paying him the big bucks and I can assure you that he has and will be more easily compromising in the future. Heck, CNN wants him now, if thats not a red flag then I don't know what is. I gave up party Loyalty and decided to be loyal to God, Family, and the Constitution, and just sit back and watch these polititians sell us out in increments of freedoms and securities. WAKE UP. And Get ready!!!! Its not going to be pretty.

THese missles would be perfect for bringing into the ChiCom/ WhaPo/ Hutchison controlled port facilities in Panama. 15 minutes to fuel them up and fire them.

dennis, because your quote is right on the mark - and I'd like to use it, if you don't mind, in the Panama threads, I went and ahead and corrected the...H.

Ah, yes- Panama.... the Bahamas.... Cuba... perfect sites for those intermediate-range ballistic missiles so beloved by the Chinese. And other not-so-friendly countries as well-- I've been thinking for several years that the "triangle" around the Carribean formed when you draw lines between those areas may be the next local hot spot.

And the goings-on in South America bear watching as well....

"Mr. Rumsfeld said no one in the Bush administration has given a "green light" to China to build up its nuclear arsenal."

Of course not, Bastard s.o.b. Bill Clinton did that for us!

Interesting. The Chinese seem to prefer white-walled tires.
