China is becoming concerned by the increased presence of the United States in Afghanistan and is complaining about the U.S. lease renewal at the Manas Air Base in neighboring Kyrgyzstan, suggesting that these activities are part of an overall containment effort against China, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
The complaint comes at the same time Chinese officials have expressed alarm over what they view as a growing alliance between the U.S. and India, which they perceive as designed to alter the Asian strategic balance in what Beijing always has regarded as its sphere of influence.

No Problem the Wimp does not want to offend our enemies and will remove it.
I think it is clear that we should surrender. Thank g*d (nondenominational, multicultural alleged deity) we have Hussein in the white house.
China is increasing the funding that its War Department gets by 50% a year and *they’re* worried?????
Pacific bases such as Anderson AFB in Guam must also give the Chicoms pause...
Abamanana needs to enter reality.
Two Chi-com nukes and Anderson is gone. Read “Fatal Ter.rain” by Dale Brown.
“U.S. Base Makes Chinese Nervous”
This headline should read “Timid Obama Presidency Emboldens the Chinese.”
The Kyrgyz base is only on lease for one year, and at the end of 2010 we have to leave. This was the agreement we made with the Russians and the CSTO (USSR successor). We are not allowed to bring in ANY weaponry through that base. And, we are paying the Russians alot for use of this base for the year.
BTW the Russians and their allies (The Stan’s) don’t like us in Afghanistan either.
The Chineset increase by 50%, the Russians increase by the same number and assist their “Former” vassals in doing the same, they are arming Latin American states and Iran to the hilt, and so on. The SCO members have nothing to worry about.
All the Chinese must do is help win the war, and we’ll leave.
Time to stop buying Chinese “stuff”....
Well, if China isn't planning on expanding aggressively into their neighbors, a "containment" policy should simply be an amusing waste of time and resources. If containment is a problem for them, well...
and is complaining about the U.S. lease renewal at the Manas Air Base in neighboring Kyrgyzstan
It's supposed to, duh
No problem here!! All the Chinese have to do is to tell the Messiah to remove the bases or else and our brave leader will comply.
The Chinese have gone out of their way to be as menacing as possible to India, and the Indians don’t much care for that. However, an alliance (foreseen by George W. Bush) between India and a Republican led United States effectively halts Chinese hegemony.
While the US Navy is more than aware that the PLAN can match it numerically with submarines, and has some effective anti-ship missiles, the USN has some terribly effective tricks up its sleeves.
But on the ground, the Chinese have one major advantage over the US—the ability to enlist vast numbers of soldiers. However, this one advantage is countered by India, which can do the same. This means that China cannot be too glib about starting any land war.
