Good News...China Unveils And Tests It's Own 5th Generation Fighter!
Good News...China Unveils And Tests It's Own 5th Generation Fighter!
You know, the one they weren't supposed to have until 2020, which meant we could safely cancel the F-22 program? Yeah, that one. And the normally secretive Chinese wanted to make sure everyone saw it. There's a reason for the change in policy. 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.Also of note about the test? It's timing. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates just happens to be in China now. U.S. officials said that President Hu appeared to be taken by surprise when Mr. Gates asked him about the test flight during a meeting, hours after pictures and accounts of it began appearing online.There's really no good option here. Either Hu knew about the test and went along with the proactive timing or...he didn't know and other players are exerting pressure. Players like the Defense Minister who says China is preparing for, "Military Conflict In Every Strategic Direction"? What could go wrong? All of this comes on the heels of Gates announcing budget cuts for the Department of Defense. In addition to canceling major weapons programs like the Marines next generation amphibious assault vehicle (which given costs and the unlikely nature of an opposed amphibious assault in a world with modern missiles is certainly defensible and a discussion worth having), Gates is also talking about cutting troop numbers after years of expanding the Army and Marine Corps. As I watched his presentation last week with Admiral Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, all I could think of was what they were really saying was, "Honestly, history won't repeat itself again.". Problem is, the Chinese are showing us that they are doing everything to ensure that yes, it will. Posted by: DrewM. at 03:26 PM

Whether Harvard professors or not, both Obama & his 2nd in command military man must now realize that Chinese Warlords aren't near as cavalierly stupid & naive about their enemies,...As THEY Are.
The Chinese quite differently have become rather sophisticated, worldly & quite National Security Conscious over the years, & wisely want nothing but the very best equipment for their pilots. Missiles are a good defense. But, so are best equiped pilots. Would that America's political rulers of U.S. Military were just as wise about actual Defense Preparedness, instead of the typical Obama normalcy of more or less apologetic weakness strategy for appeasing age old enemies of Liberty & Freedom? Neville Chamberlain would have gotten along MA-A-A-R-Velously with our curent ruling elite or: "Democrat/Socialist/Leftist/Marxist and/or Progressive Political Supremacists posing as Liberals". So would old like-minded zealots Hitler, Stalin & Mao Tse-Tung, too. Besides, the Very Best Fighter Possible for pilots will always beat-the-hell out of most often Dubious Lip Service (the norm) that: "His Barackness" will ever deliver,...any day of the week. BHO II or Jr. sure speaks quite well. But,...can Barry S. or Barack O. actually be believed? Whatever, hope We Americans remain VERY LUCKY & Muslim Brotherhood doesn't get too-damn-scrambunctious about killing Infidels worldwide. Such Radical Fanaticals of Islam are the real threat. China need not be worried about. Chinese are much too wise to kill: "The Golden Goose". Arab Mass-Murderers: "In The Name of Allah",...eh??? Neil
