All, here's a ping to the latest material on the Chinese Navy.

Education is one key to avoding...

future trouble with Red China

...and then of course acting on that knowledge). I believe that Red China represents a threat and trouble in the next 5-10 years greater than the tyrants we fought in World War II.

It interests me, but only in a vague, why are we granting MFN, and sitting still while the Chinese are committing economic warfare against us kinda way. I suppose they need a deep sea Navy, to defend the coastland against the Tibetan fleet.

Some report prepared for Rummy says that China's fleet buildup is for protecting their petroleum supplies from the U.S.!!! I dunno 'bout that. Self-defense could be used as an excuse to hide aggressive notions.

"China is building up military forces and setting up bases along sea lanes from the Middle East to project its power overseas and protect its oil shipments, according to a previously undisclosed internal report prepared for Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld...."

Ed Dames said China will become the dominant superpower fairly soon by purely economic means and won't have to fire a shot.

Thoughts on this latest update to Red China's growing naval capabilities? Click on the picture in the body of the initial post to go to the site and see the whole thing.

They continue to build very modern, new combatants at a break neck speed. By comparison, since 2000 they have added 72 new major combatants to their fleet. We have added 39, but also decomissioned 45, about 30 of which had ten or more good years of service life left in them.

Anyhow, I would be interested in your thoughts.

The photo of the Type 039 passing between Kowloon and HK Island is chilling.

The missile cats appear to leverage a dual use concept also used for many of the high speed ferries being develope indigenously.
