06/14/2004: "Sino Threat"

ViaTownhall a Peter Brookes editorial in the N.Y. Post, quotes defenselink.mil as saying that China is a silent but growing threat:

[....]
China's next military frontier is space, including manned space travel and the development of reconnaissance satellites and anti-satellite lasers capable of destroying intelligence and communications satellites.
[....]
Short term, Beijing's military focus is on unification with Taiwan. Long term, the goals include making Japan strategically subservient and replacing America as the preeminent power in Asia.
[....]

Our huge military advantages on Earth use technology which orbits Earth. We gain much from trade with Asia. We should not ignore China.
