Photo of the Week: Because No One Should Read Too Much on Fridays
Yesterday, Admiral Samuel J. Locklear, Command of U.S.
Pacific Command, briefed the Pentagon press corps on the U.S. military’s
rebalance to the Asia Pacific. Admiral Locklear spoke specifically to the ongoing
territorial disputes in the East and South China Seas, saying, “We
call on all the parties there, including the Chinese, to ensure that, as they
approach these problems, that they do so in a way that avoids conflict, that
avoids miscalculation, that uses the vehicles available today through diplomacy
and through those legal forums that allow them to get to reasonable solutions
on these without resorting to coercion or conflict.”
Admiral Locklear was also asked about the growing concerns surrounding
China’s aircraft carrier. He responded: “My
assessment is that if I were China and I was in the economic position that
China is in, and I was in a position of where I have to look after my global
security interests, I would consider building an aircraft carrier. And I
might consider building several aircraft carriers. So the real question is
whether we should be concerned with them or not. Like any other country
that builds aircraft carriers is whether or not those types of platforms will
be successfully integrated into a global security environment that’s a peaceful
one. And they have a role in maintaining the peaceful global security
environment. If the issue is that they are not part of that global
security environment, then I think we have to be concerned about them.”
