China’s latest budget sees its “restrained” military spending ballooning 12.7%, amidst reports that its actual spending is far higher than official figures.
In 2010 China was keen to emphasise its military budget would “only” be boosted 7.5%, and even with the 12.7% increase just announced for 2011, Chinese officials protest that spending is “restrained” and non-threatening:
“China’s defence spending is relatively low by world standards […] China has always paid attention to restraining defence spending.”
In other news, Japanese F-15s were recently scrambled to intercept Chinese fighters which approached within 55km of Japanese territorial waters near Okinawa, the closest yet, amidst increasing Japanese alarm at continuing favourable Chinese newspaper coverage of a proposed “Chinese Okinawa Autonomous Region.”
Chinese army hawks and revisionist historians are said to consider Okinawa to more properly belong to China, based on its pre-Japanese history as independent kingdom which paid tribute to the Chinese emperor.
However, the same logic would give China imperial claim to Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Mongolia, and large swathes of Russia and various other Asian neighbours, all of which have at some point paid tribute to China or incorporate areas once claimed by China.
The Philippines also recently issued a diplomatic protest to China after its ships were subject to threatening Chinese naval activity in the South China Sea (most of which China claims).
Even Japanese talk of scrapping the billions of dollars in “overseas development aid” it gives to China annually has been met with hostile headlines warning of “consequences” if the money stops, despite the obvious absurdity of the world’s third largest economy making aid payments to the world’s second largest economy.
And watch those Chink tanks will EXPLODE.
We dont have to claim,cause the rest is like s♥♥t and is fucked up by US,and you guys are happy about that.
about the growth in budget? you gotta be kidding me,we are still 1/4 or 1/3 of US military budget,OK?
We want our land back 钓鱼台-南海 we want our security,nothing more
We wont navy our ship toward Califonia like America have sent their ship to Pacific,,,
They’ve upgraded since tank man.
The Chineses quality of weapon’s are still low but improved a lot. It says that maybe type 99AG tank has a Hunter Killer Ability by US General. And their largest amount of population than any other countries is also threat. This would be the largest threat. Their Air force is mainly made up of old aircrafts like Mig-21 and more old one. They also producted Su-27s and other Su-series but they only renewed only 1 percent of their Air force. But it’s about 140 aircrafts. So large amount to us. Well, no one gonna keep up with chineses with the population whatever the quality is.
The Chineses always trys to turn their discontent to others since before. By scattering lies and distortions like “nanking massacre” or “731 virus squrdron”. They’re good at decepting others. And they already had a sort of chinese nazism since past. For example, when British brought opium, they welcomed them cuz they tried to earn a lot by opium and also chinese ppl follows their merchants and used them. The reason they fought each other is chinks were looking down on British. They have a sort of Chinese Nazism called SINOCENTRISM. They thought that they chineses are real humanities and others are beast. So they won’t treat themselves and British equally. Yeah, and so they won’t keep their contracts of opium seriously. Then finally, led to Sino-Britain war.
Here Japan, is covered by these chinks lier a$$holes threats than any other one.I wish JSDF gonna expand their powers more and more but politics sux and they must be bribed or controlled by chink’s or korean’s operational and it’ll be in vain. god damn it……
what the f♥♥k china?
