Will retaliate if offended by US, warns China Gen

[Yusuf]

BEIJING: A Chinese General on Friday termed as "flagrant provocation" US plans to send a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to the Yellow Sea and said the country would retaliate if "offended".

"A country needs respect, so does a military. We will retaliate if we are offended," Major General Luo Yuan, deputy secretary-general of the People's Liberation Army's (PLA) Academy of Military Sciences, wrote in an editorial in the PLA Daily.

The US is "pushing its security boundary to the doorstep of others — the Yellow Sea, South China Sea and so on," Luo said.

China had in the recent weeks voice its firm opposition to activities of foreign military vessels or planes in the Yellow Sea and China's coastal waters, saying they undermine it security interests. Despite China's warning, the US insists on sending the carrier 'USS George Washington', he said

The General was reacting to remarks by Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, that the carrier will always go into international waters.

China is developing a new missile called Dong Feng 21D, that could penetrate the defenses of even the most advanced aircraft carrier at a distance of more than 1,500km.

Sending US carrier battle groups and N subs armed with Tomahaws ; is to remind China and and its side kick North korea, AND mind you, IT WILL remind China that USA is still the most powerful country.

In recent months there has been a lot of talk about new Chinese carrier killing Missiles which will make US run away from the Pacific .
Let the Games begin.

Doesn't it sound like Pakistan creating noise for any Indian move ? looks like Chinese generals are taking their classes in Pakistan.

Chinese are full of hot air, there is not much retailating they can do against USA; they will be bombed backed to the stone age.

This was from a retired general, nuff said.

I think Chinese have gone nuts because of their new found wealth. Militarily they are no where close to America. Most of their equipment is worth selling only in Africa or Pakistan. The pakis may worship JF17 & J10 but they are scrap metal inf front of an F15E.

Interestingly the US has retaliated and she is going hell for leather to build 'strategic partnerships' in the Asia Pacific region.

Apparently, China's big talk and blackmail has backfired!

China must learn to put the money where their mouth is!!

They have now lost face and Wen is scurrying to Delhi and will do so elsewhere too!

In China, what is important is this:

deputy secretary-general of the People's Liberation Army's (PLA) Academy of Military Sciences

and:

editorial in the PLA Daily.

1. Party hacks,, irrespective of their rank and position, do not do any kiteflying or they will be axed.

2. One cannot write any or everything in the media without official sanction. It is done to either spell out policy or to test the waters!

It is not like Arundhuri Roy ranting in the media or being seditious in a seminar organised by people who wish to destroy the entity called India! People like Ms Roy and Varavara Rao and Gotom Nawalakha would have been sentenced and would 'vanish' from the face of the earth!!
