    China preparing for armed conflict ‘in every direction’

    "In the coming five years, our military will push forward preparations for military conflict in every strategic direction,” said Liang Guanglie in an interview published by several state-backed newspapers in China. “We may be living in peaceful times, but we can never forget war, never send the horses south or put the bayonets and guns away,” Mr Liang added.
    China repeatedly says it is planning a “peaceful rise” but the recent pace and scale of its military modernisation has alarmed many of its neighbours in the Asia-Pacific, including Japan which described China’s military build-up as a “global concern” this month.

    Mr Liang’s remarks come at a time of increasingly difficult relations between the Chinese and US armed forces which a three-day visit by his counterpart Robert Gates is intended to address. A year ago China froze substantive military relations in protest at US arms sales to Taiwan and relations deteriorated further this summer when China objected to US plans to deploy one of its nuclear supercarriers, the USS George Washington, into the Yellow Sea off the Korean peninsula.

    Well , ship with a nuclear bomb sailing up and down the coast would get any country paranoid right? Remember the Cuban missile crises era?

    this is absolutely true. When you hit folks outside of the range of the predetermined scope of reality fed to them by MSM, things go sketchy. They dont have any scripted answers to parrot, no one has instructed folks how to think or feel about a given issue, they may feel lied to and cheap, a lil scared maybe, a lil insecure about their lack of knowledge on a topic that never gets airtime on msnbc or fox, and the answers become very emotional and egos begin to flail haplessly.

    Its VERY predictable.

    A lil like...

    I've heard that you're way too esoteric for us, Parker. But why cast your pearls before swine? The soul of the esoteric is "secret" teaching.

    Maybe you need to go back to the temple and learn it better before presuming to instruct us all unbidden to <your rather pointy> worldview. It seems to me you haven't even begun to think through the personal dynamics, for starters. (We'll get to choice later)




    (Bein a pompous ass only gets forgiven when you have good bull . You and me frankly don't fall in that category.)

    commies ain't doing with it imo, NK's tyranny is absolutely isolated. america will not partake it either imho, bring home the troops from iraq was not an indication of preparing another war imho. just a civil war between two opposing groups of picklebreaths imho

    I don't get it.

    What is the point of the OP? To tell us something we already knew?

    I am honestly befuddled.

    Can you put it in your own words Parker?
