China’s Not So Offensive Aircraft Carrier

Posted by w_thames_the_d on December 16, 2011


Great post by Brewskie…

“You just take a nice little siesta from China and enjoy a sturdy roof over your head; I’ll post a few interesting stories to feast on upon return, and for the readers to enjoy.

Purchase an aircraft carrier but get a barge instead(!): China’s first aircraft carrier possesses more alluvium than bite, ’cause the Ruskies refuse to sell China interception devices – making aircraft landing impossible.

China’s left with nothing but a show-off toy purchased by pompous CCP cadres whose self-inflated egos are about to burst mighty China – as if it were a over-inflated bobo doll produced with the same quality of nihilism you’d expect from communist hands. Supposedly, the Chinese could merely steel the technology and reverse engineer it, but that would derail faster than a “Siemens AG me too” high-speed train. Who out of China’s cadre mama’s boys, stemmed from only child families, would want to crash on that tug boat?”

China To Set Up Military Base Overseas- China”s Peaceful Rise????

Posted by w_thames_the_d on December 16, 2011


According to this site China is setting up a military base in the Indian Ocean. For all her talk of a peaceful rise, China seems hell bent on spreading her might..
Quote from here:
“China’s foreign policy thinkers and political establishment have long been trying to convince the world that Beijing’s rise is meant to be a peaceful one, that China has no expansionist intentions, that it will be a different kind of great power. Of course, the very nature of power makes this largely a charade, but there is an entire industry in the West as well as in India that would have us believe China is actually a different kind of great power and that if the West could simply give China a stake in the established order, Beijing’s rise would not create any complications.”
