Chinese Air Defense Now Top Notch
Newsmax ^ | February 12, 2008 | Charles R. Smith

U.S. defense analysts now consider the Chinese air defense network to be the most dangerous system in the world. The Chinese system is considered more dangerous than the formidable Russian system.

The reason for China's great leap forward into first place is due to the wholesale use of U.S. commercial products that make the Chinese air defense network flexible, easy to upgrade, and though to exploit.

The Chinese investment into its air defense network is calculated to be one-tenth the cost of the U.S. expenditures. The low cost is attributed to what one analyst described as "Cisco in Chinese."

Chinese telecom companies run by the People's Liberation Army frequently steal U.S. industrial and military secrets which are then modified into operational systems for the military. This effort began in 1994 during the Clinton administration and was led by Chinese Gen. Ding Henggao.

Ding should receive a medal for being a hero to the Chinese Communist Party because he was able to obtain a vast array of U.S. technology through a good friend inside the Clinton administration -- then Defense Secretary William Perry. The technology included secure fiber-optic communications electronics.

Ding was able to set his wife, Madam General Nie, up as head of a false corporation that obtained advanced U.S. fiber optic systems. Madam Nie's company was staffed entirely by Chinese army officers who specialized in exploiting communications and electronics...

Sometimes they steal the technology,

sometimes they buy it from Democrat presidents.

Yet another example of the Klintoons anti-American bent.

Don’t worry, what they can’t steal we’ll give them for wal-mart plastic junk and pesticide dumplings.

Why don't we build them for cheaper in Chinese factories? Free trade and all that.

And when Obama wins, our tech lead will disappear over night . Of course, he will want summits to deal with the Chinese, as well as all Islamos. He will want to talk them into tolerating us by giving them even sweeter deals in trade. Oh the problems this nation will have when the Dems have the next 16 years in the WH.

What makes you think this is a free trade issue? Would increasing the tariffs on Chinese goods leave the fiber optics unstolen?

I don’t think Iraq’s air defence compares to what the Chinese have.

And even if they did, I’d say that the Chinese would be better at running the system.
