Defense Secretary Robert Gates "he will discover a Chinese military that has
significantly changed in the 31/2 years since he last visited Beijing. It's
not so much that the People's Liberation Army has achieved stunning
successes since Gates met with its officers in 2007 * * * More than anything
, the PLA has taken on a different tone. Emboldened by the notion that China
's rise is unstoppable, its military has shed its traditional secrecy to
become a brash, even boisterous interest group that openly advocates for
policies, brandishes its new equipment and makes other claims like never
before.
"At the Zhuhai Airshow in November, senior defense industry officials made
claims that China can now manufacture engines for its jet fighters. But
there's no sign that that's the case. Indeed, the firm that makes the
engines, Aviation Industries of China, canceled two news conferences on that
topic.

China (AVIC; state-owned, headquartered in Beijing) 中国航空工业集团公司 (
简称“中航工业”)

of China's missile capabilities. Washington Post, Jan. 7, 2011.

Quote:
"The Pentagon estimates that China has fewer than 50 long-range missiles.
The United States, by comparison, has more than 700. After three decades of
development, China has deployed only 15 of its new mobile strategic missiles
, and none of them can carry multiple warheads. That's because China's
smallest tested nuclear warhead is far too heavy for the missiles to
accommodate more than one.
My comment: I assume the difference between 700 and 15 is that the rest are
silo-based.
(3) Despite an alleged leaked video clip showing a J-20 in the air (seconds-
long and grainly), no English-language report (from China or the West) has
emerged about the so called first test flight--or the plane itself in the
last 24 hours. | c**i 发帖数: 6973 | 2 I just added the last item. | u****n 发帖数: 7521 | 3 choi是什么派别的?老,中,小,邓,毛,台,奸
