China's Retaliation of a 6.4 Billion Missile Defense Shield in Taiwan - Wake Up Call


Mainland China has been quite aggressive in the Straits of Taiwan towards the United States Navy and military, they feel those are their waters, and if a US military ship goes there it is encroaching on their territory. But why would they care? We are supposedly an ally and trading partner of China, and if China for some reason got into a war or with a rogue nation, the United States would obviously back them up in a heartbeat. Not only do we have business and banking relationships with China, they are our largest trading partner.

Nevertheless, they got very hostile when we sold a missile defense shield to Taiwan, but why shouldn't we, as North Korea has nuclear weapons, and they are building multi-stage long-range missiles. If Taiwan decides in the future it wishes to re-unite with the mainland China, that's up to them. But if China thinks it is going to bully Taiwan into reunification or force them through a hostile takeover, then of course that's unacceptable, and the world cannot allow that. If the world did allow it, it would be akin to the appeasement of the NAZI regime when they took over their first neighbor. I hope you see the correlation.

Now then, it's too bad that China was so upset that the US is selling a $6.4 billion missile defense shield to Taiwan, but even more disconcerting is the reasoning behind why they were so upset. Are they planning something off in the future we don't know about? Of course, and therefore, I propose a new weapons sale to Taiwan, namely a 12.8 Billion Dollar Missile Offense system to Taiwan. Why you ask - simple, if China is that angry, then obviously it plans to attack Taiwan sometime in the future, and if so, Taiwan must have offensive weapons to pre-empt at will, as per Karl von Clausewitz Theory. Just in case things get crazy in the future.

ABC news reported; "The U.S. will pay a price for this. Starting now, China will make some substantial retaliation, such as reducing cooperation on the North Korea and Iran nuclear issues and anti-terrorism work," Jin added.

That is interesting considering China has been selling weapons to the Taliban, originally helped North Korea get their nuclear weapons set up and has sold ICBM intermediate range missiles to Iran. And, if you want to get technical, sold Pakistan nuclear weapon capabilities, who then turned around and sold this technology to Iran, and Libya? So, how is it that China can retaliate, they've already pre-retaliated for some 30-years now?

China needs to shut up, and not act like hypocrites. China should turn around and work on their own economic bubble and world power grab, not point fingers at that USA, especially in the year of the Tiger, how soon they forget! Namely, in 1986 the Chinese Red Army put 28 along the Vietnam border remember? And let's not forget the prelude of student protests that that 1986 year of the Tiger that eventually led to the 1989 Tiananmen Square fiasco.

Simple stuff, and taking a hard line to China's Red Army is wise. We need an apology and we need it yesterday, and that would be today by my calendar, so, they need to make that 2 am phone call and repent immediately. No more games, no more BS, and China had better fix those dams before next rainy season, and let some extra water to flow along the Mekong River as well. Please consider all these inter-related events and issues.

Advanced Defense Systems and Military Sales to Taiwan Worries


Many military defense contractors, high-tech executives the Silicon Valley, our State Department, and the top brass in the military believe that the Chinese have been stealing high-tech and military secrets for years. Therefore, anything that we develop, which we think is a secret, is already known by the Chinese, and they are already secretly working on it themselves. In fact in the world of spies, this went on throughout the Cold War, only that time it was Russia.

If you'll recall every time the US came out with a new fighter aircraft, a missile, a new ship, a new radar system, or a new aircraft bomber, the Russians had one that looked almost identical. This still happens today in fact the T-50, a fifth-generation stealth Russian fighter plane looks a lot like the F-22 raptor. If all this is taking place, then why are we so worried about selling our military equipment to our allies, and why are we so worried that they might spill the beans and give this information to our enemies?

Indeed, the reality is the enemies probably already have it all and they probably already know more than we think about all the high-tech weapons systems we are engineering, and researching presently. According to an article in Taiwan News on July 30, 2010 entitled; "The US Worries About Taiwan's Military Transfer to China," and we should be worried about stuff like this. But we should also realize that they probably already have all this information anyhow.

The Chinese don't like the idea of the United States selling late model fighter aircraft to Taiwan, putting in a missile defense system, or anything else similar to this. However, if the US does go ahead with all of these sales, there is a good chance the Chinese will have this technology sometime in the future when Taiwan and China are reunified in some way and become one in the future. There's a good chance this could happen down the road without a fight due to China's enormous military, let's say in a couple of decades from now.

Should we really be concerned, because if we really are concerned about China getting our secret weapon components, then perhaps we should be more concerned with the 6000 spies that are all over the United States including Silicon Valley, grabbing all of our secret technologies. We need to do one of two things, we need to stop the spying, increase military intelligence and surveillance on our so-called friends, enemies, and allies who are stealing our military secrets, or we need to just say forget it, and realize they already have it all.

If we choose the latter this could be good for US defense contractors to sell our military technology all over the world. We won't be giving it to our adversaries or potential future enemies, because they already have it. It seems all too often that we are just kidding ourselves when we think we are somehow protecting our secrets, as we so freely give them away out the back door. Even though this is all philosophical, it does matter, it matters very much, and I am quite concerned. Please consider all this.
