‘Pentagon Sounds Alarm at China’s Military Buildup
WASHINGTON—The Pentagon voiced alarm over China’s military buildup, saying it was expanding its advantage over Taiwan and investing heavily in ballistic and cruise missile capabilities that could one day pose a challenge to U.S. dominance in the western Pacific.
In its annual report to Congress on Chinese military capabilities, the Pentagon also cited China’s advances in electronic warfare. The U.S. government has been the target of cyber intrusions the report says appear to have originated in China and aimed to steal military secrets. “These intrusions focused on exfiltrating information, some of which could be of strategic or military utility,” the report said.’ source
Every time we buy some piece of crap labelled “Made in China” we help fund the expansion of a totalitarian regime that would have no hesitation in imposing its values on any country it colonises.
Forget the soothing words of the multiculti idiots and the wishful thinking of the Libertarians which says that the free market will fix all. These people will still be sneering about the “yellow peril” and deriding opponents of China’s expansion as “racists” when they wake up one morning to find there’s a new boss on the block.
We’re funding our own downfall. If China turns the Western Pacific into their own backyard because America no longer has the power and/or the will to oppose them you can kiss what freedom you have goodbye.
