BEIJING (Reuters) - China's top official newspaper on Thursday accused the United States of exaggerating fears about Beijing's military to justify its weapons sales to Taiwan, continuing verbal push-and-shove between the two powers.

The Pentagon's annual report on Chinese military power released this week said China was developing weapons to cripple its foes' space technology and also linked intrusions into computer networks worldwide to Beijing.

I justify sales to Taiwan because i hate communist dip shits.

Well, fear’s really the only thing you can monger. Have you ever tried mongering ennui?

[MtnClimber]

I would be OK with killing more chinese, but the communist politicians first this time around.

China accuses U.S. of military fear-mongering...but of course it does.

[LasVegasMac]

F--- the ChiComs.

They want a war with us.

So be it.

We must have hit the bulls-eye, else the thugs in Beijing would not say boo. Arm Taiwan to the hilt, I say. Tell the gooks to go climb a bamboo tree. Truman should have let MacArthur finish the job, but old Harry S. was a closet sympathizer, and his administration was riddled with commie agents, just like FDRs. Now America buys all its stuff from Chi-Mart. Sam Walton must be rolling in his grave.

More good reason NOT to have a Democrap POTUS. Remember Hellary’s co-presidency in the 90’s gutted the military and Hussein Obama is a UN kind of guy. It’s a dangerous world and we need a bad arse don’t f... with us kind of military that these ‘Rat clowns will decimate.

We should’ve nuked these Chicom bastards back in 1950. The world would’ve been a better place today. Same with Stalin - nuked the whole damn USSR in 1945.

But I’m just a stupid sergeant.

Unfortunately, our beloved FDR thought Uncle Joe (Kiss. Kiss.) a swell guy. FDR didn’t mind a few tens of millions people dying under Stalin’s boot.

The rest is history.

What is the difference between the Democrat’s view of America and China’s view of America?

The Chinese are more diplomatic in their expressions.

“China’s top official newspaper on Thursday accused the United States of exaggerating fears about Beijing’s military...”

Tell THAT to the Tibetans.

Right, they need 1000 missiles piled up opposite the strait to wash their windshield if it happens to rain.

Dear China,

**ck off.

Sincerely,

US

They don’t want a war with us, as they would lose. When them yammer about fear-mongering, it means they are AFRAID OF US. Good.

[societygirl]

FDR probably ENIVED Uncle Joe, what with his absolute power, and 20 million Russians he offed because they didn’t “agree’ with him

The Chinese are correct, to some degree. Even though China's budget for 2008 is $58.76 billion, it still represents a smaller percentage of GDP than most of the major nations.

Roughly 1 1/2 % of GDP. Even if China doubled her military budget, that amount, in terms of percentage of GDP, would then be on par with Britain or France. Which would be roughly 3% of GDP for Britain or France.
