There Are 4 Big Military Developments In China That Startle The US

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Yepoka Yeebo / Business Insider

Anna Mulrine, The Christian Science Monitor

China continues to increase spending to grow its already considerable military, and top Pentagon officials continue to watch the developments carefully.
 
In a report issued this week, the Department of Defense for the first time directly accused China’s military of using cyberattacks to spy on US networks.
 
In this arena and others, “China’s military buildup shows no signs of slowing,” said David Helvey, deputy assistant secretary of Defense for East Asia, who presented the congressionally mandated report on the state of China’s military activities.
 
Here are Pentagon officials’ top four concerns as they carefully monitor the growth of China’s military.

- Anna Mulrine, Staff writer

1. Frequent cyberwarfare attacks, other espionage efforts

China has long been accused of engaging in cyber attacks and espionage on US networks, but for the first time the US military directly attributed some of those attacks to its counterparts in China, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

“In 2012, numerous computer systems around the world, including those owned by the United States government, continued to be targeted for intrusions, some of which appear to be attributable directly to the [Chinese] government and military organizations,” Mr. Helvey said during a Pentagon briefing this week.

The report points to cyberespionage, along with other activities – with the aim of bolstering China’s military advantages:

“China continues to leverage foreign investments, commercial joint ventures, academic exchanges, the experience of repatriated Chinese students and researchers, and state-sponsored industrial and technical espionage to increase the level of technologies and expertise available to support military research, development, and acquisition.”

      Prepare to be invaded america…….you owe to much monewy and can,t pay it back…..what would you do.

      • Corruption Killer

        U.S. banks owe now more than 100 trillion in money laundering fines. Our fine politicians have filled their pockets and left our country to rot.

        prepare to be invaded? thats pure propaganda. the only ones doing the invading are usa, britain, canada, sweden, norway, netherlands, and australia, yet we never fear monger about them, i wonder why? China hasnt even invades south korea, or japan, so why would it directly invade america? the reality is, China is on the defence, and the usa, and its allies have been on the offence for at least the past 300yrs. if China ever one day becomes slightly powerful, the first thing they will do is boot the u.s and western military out of taiwan, hong kong, japan, south korea, and singapore, and that will be a wonderful day when it comes. the u.s and nato are in too many places that it does not belong

      For a long time the world has known that the US was crumbling from within but kept their distance because the US still had a big pair of depleted uranium balls. But in the last 6 years they have seen even these shrivel and fall off the once mighty super power under the leadership of what we call liberals.
      It’s uncanny how a predator can always sense when one of the heard is sick or injured. It’s nothing personal, just nature. :eek:

    • fubar1984

      Just another stupid story. A plant.

      Just substitute every word here for ‘china’ to ‘usa/cia’ then it makes since,

      China, .. I hate to say this to you folks, cares a lot more about its people than the US government.

      The PLA is just that the Peoples LIberation Army, and it was created by MAO in 1947 to FREE the chinese people from USA colonialism.

      So yeh, the CIA/NSA hates the PLA, cuz its PEOPLE,

      The problem here is that the USA is NAZI-FASCISM,

      That China is just old fashion Confucianism.

      • Idiot Proof

        The factual historical record shows that the US corporation that poses as a government, and a large portion of the American aristocracy, business tycoon, industrialists, financiers, railroad barons, etc. supported and financed Hitler, Naziism, The “American” National-Socialist Party, and Communism in general right up until the American population overwhelmingly rejected it, and the same group supported and financed Chairman Mao and his Communist takeover of China.
        In all of my education and personal research, I don’t recall ever coming across any reports of outcries from the corporation that poses as a government, for any humanitarian missions to aid protect, evacuate, advocate or otherwise even pause to consider the plight of some Sixty Million Men Women and Children who were rounded up executed and dumped in mass graves, who were murdered because the majority did not desire or accept Communism, and/or were old or educated enough to understand what Communism really is, and that democratic societies are more humane and desireable for the People, and would most likely share that knowledge, so they were gunned down by their own government, while ours did nothing…because, it was all good with them.

        • fubar1984

          Well let’s just put it this way, … I’m not going to argue your 60M figure, … but their were many pro-colonialists in the NEW CHINA, … and they needed to be re-educated.

          We can ONLY hope and pray that in the NEW amerikkka that everybody from GoLDMAN-SACKS, and the cop-shop well too be ‘re-educated’.

          Stalin had the same problem, … and now you have gone full circle on why OBAMA has the TSA, and why he wants a civilian-army MORE powerful than the US army, … cuz there is a lot of re-edooocation to do in amerikkka….

          SURE GLAD AS HELL I BAILED … :)

      • Idiot Proof

        As far as the story being just a planted false report, I agree, to an extent. Either this report of troop buildup is BS, or the Pentagon’s alleged worried murmurs regarding supposed next-next-gen Chinese EMP weapons and other rumored futuristic weapons and technology, is BS. Both do not sensibly fit the scenarios…If they possess tech that could conceivably incapacitate most of, if not the entire nation, electrical power, communications, food and water delivery/emergency supplies/services/personell, adversely affect infrastructure of all sorts if not destroy some or all of it completely, why send in millions of troops to fight and possibly (probably) die in battle? Just wait a few days, and those starving and dying of thirst will beg to be allowed to surrender…

      • Joerg Klaemt

        Yes and I hate to say that Germany’s Nazi regime did the same for his own Nation and people.
        Although it were the same Players the role is reversed in the good old U.S.A..
        The U.S. should have learned rather than believe those Ba**** that are now doing the same thing but seem to get away with it. All because of the Holohoax,that you bought in to.

        Proof that they have been lying to all of you,to extort trillions of dollars and sympathy under which umbrella they have protected themselves and deceived all of you:

        If 6 million Jews Died than explain this!

        - World Almanac,1933,pg.419 world Jewish population(15,316,359)
        - World Almanac,1936,pg.748 world Jewish population(15,753,633)
        - World Almanac,1938,pg.510 world Jewish population(15,748,091)
        - World Almanac,1940,pg.129:World Jewish Population(15,319,359)
        - World Almanac, 1949, pg. 289:World Jewish Population 15,713,638

        There were 394,279 MORE Jews in 1949 than in 1940?
        Do your Math People and get your Head out of your Behind,mind you ignorance might be a blessing if they come for you, and they will.
        Satan is giving them all their Power,therefore only God can help us.
        Proof that they are not Gods but Satans Children:
        The Book of Revelation, Chapter 2, Verse 9, states the following which would appear to be about these Ashkenazi Jews:
        “I know thy works, and tribulation and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.”

        pla was created by Mao to free the Chinese people from american colonialism, but a lot of things changed in 1978

    • Idiot Proof

      Plain truth is, China is controlled by the same set of jack-holes that control the US and 95% of the so called nations on this planet…the money changers, the same folks that gave us Marxism Socialism, Fascism, basically Statism/Collectivism, and, ultimately supported and financed Mao and Maoism. Do you REALLY believe that, England/Britain/UK simply honored their treaty with China and just gave Hong Kong back to the Chinese and with it, all of that wealth AND the financial gateway to Red China and much of the Far East? Well, sure they did, BUT, by already controlling China from the shadows, they really only ‘gave’ it to themselves…and with it, more opportunities to control and manipulate more of the world’s inhabitants resources for their own personal gain, while those they’ve stolen from starve, languish and wither from easily curable diseases, and so on and so forth…

      • Fr.Duffy Fighting 69th

        Wrong. China is NOT part of the NWO/Masonic cabal. They are NOT masons and are the sworn enemies of the the Illuminati. The will prevail in regaining control over Asia and in the destruction of the U.S. as a world power. This has been their plan for generations. China has, and always will, plan in increments of 100, 200 and 500 years while western democracies plan in election cycles of 4, 6 and 8 years. America has ALREADY been defeated, and most Americans just have not figured it out yet. China will fulfill its biblical role as a combatant in Armageddon long after the U.S. has ceased to exist.

        • Joerg Klaemt

          Fr.Duffy Fighting 69th

          I fully agree with you…………on all points

        • 2342343242

          China can’t be fully controlled by the west, that’s why the west hates China so much. China is about 90% compliant with western oligarch demands, but its the 10% that makes the west despise China so much. The western elite hates independence. They want 100% total submission.

      • 2342343242

        China is not controlled by the same set of jack holes that control the us, otherwise the u.s regime wouldnt have China surrounded militarily. there would be no need for a missile defence shield. instead, theyd just have a base inside of China. japan, and south korea may be controlled by the same set of jack holes though, but even then, you cant be 100% sure. the thing about capitalism is that they are always competing against each other, and can turn on each other at any time. just look at how goldman sachs did lehman brothers. the fact of the matter is the west is insecure, and know they are inferior, thats why they have to go all out with military, because they could never compete legitimately. the money changers definitely didnt support or finance Mao, and Maoism, they supported a dictator called Chiang Kai Shek to get rid of Mao. in fact, u.s backed lackeys killed Mao’s whole family. the ruling class of the west hates people like Mao, Ho Chi Min, Kim Il Sung, etc. instead, they love dictators like Suharto, Marcos, Noriega, Pinochet, Park Chung Hee, Ngo Din Diem, and the likes. alot of hong kong’s wealth is still controlled by the british. the british continue to have huge concesions in hong kong, and its former colonies. just as the british and french still have huge concesions, and pupet dictators throughout Africa. the fact that there is so much propaganda on the internet about China shows that there are two competing factors here on this earth. hong kong and taiwan are more or less under the control of the west, thats why you hardly hear any negative news about them, even though a lot of horrible things happen there.

      End result…..it is time for a change in this world. Unfortunately, those of us, who’ve had nothing to do with shaping the outcome of the US……are going to have to pay. But, those who put us in this position, well planet earth can’t hide them forever……and we have some very long memories. :lol:

    • Sid

      If they conquered us, at least everyone would know to hate them as our oppressors. Since the criminal thugs in Washington, DC today are “Americans”, people are deluded into thinking they are legitimate leaders instead of our masters.

    • Pharisees.org

      China became the enemy of the US when it balked at buying $500 billion of Fannie and Freddie mortgages, which was the request of Paulson and Bernanke during a visit to China in 2007.

      China has been invited to own in whole or part US banks, at the behest of US Federal Reserve, with clearance from the US Dept of Justice, but China hasn’t go along with FR’s game.

      Egypt, Libya in chaos, disarray. Syria being worked on, then Iran next. But Syria is the line in the sand for Russia and Iran which means all out war when US pushes against Syria to the extent US did in Egypt and Libya. I would watch developments in Syria for possible oil supply shocks. Latest I heard, Obama requesting no-fly zone over Syria. Oil supplies from the Middle East will be affected in a heated war with Syria. Iran has reiterated their military ties with Syria such they would defend Syria and it is reported Russia sending nuke bomb equipped subs to Syria.
