No link, and an apostrophe error in the title.

Other than that it was a great post.

Seems like every day we find new ways that China is screwing us. Meanwhile, Russia watches us let it happen and becomes more belligerent.

Guess who’s funding this military buildup? If you said the citizens of the United States you’d be right !!!

This is great to see! Depending on the shuffling of the cards, China could quite easily become threat #1 to the United States. They’re heading in that direction, and it’s good to see Hunter out front, and being recognized internationally as well!

Interesting. I wonder about his data. Usually what you read in the military journals is that China lacks air transport, amphibious capability etc. The only exception is Africa, where China has begun to garrison entire entire brigades (e.g. Sudan, to protect its oil interests), and has sent numerous advisors etc.

>Interesting. I wonder about his data.<

Being the ranking member on the Armed Services Committee no doubt provides Rep. Hunter all the data he needs, I would think.

Unfortunately, President Clinton provided China with much of our technology which would have been better left in our own files, rather than enhance China’s weaponry. But then, shucks, he needed the money.

BARNES: Well, did you think the of the Republican or Democratic presidential candidates have taken up the China issue seriously?

KONDRACKE: I don’t see anybody talking about it. Now, one last picture. Here is, in celebration of our program, me on a yak. And, Fred, I have a present for you.

How’s that for serious journalism? “Nobody cares so here’s a picture of me on a yak.”

China has been slowly but steadily increasing its power-projection capabilities—especially with recent increases in economic resources.
