Comprehensive report of the World Wide Web According to the "Voice of Russia radio station Web site reported on July 4, Washington, American Enterprise Institute experts Auslin recently wrote an article in the Wall Street Journal pointed out that the Chinese armed forces have weaknesses, but strong enough, can dominant in Asia in the case of U.S. military strength weakened. Skeptics questioned on China's military strength will be verified in practice, such as the South China Sea dispute will be able to test the PLA is not a paper tiger.
Russian media said that the U.S. experts, the statement praised the People's Liberation Army strength in China will soon be in the last many months in the Philippines, Vietnam sea confrontation test. In the Philippines, Vietnam relations Yin Nanhai increasingly tense dispute between the background level of trust of the Chinese leaders of the People's Liberation Army strength in China resolutely raised the South China Sea territorial claims to play a larger role, but also will indicate whether China could force the United States to give up interfere in the South China Sea affairs.
Auslin for the Chinese army is a paper tiger, the honest answer is uncertain. Theoretically, the Chinese military since the 1990s, continued strong shocking, the Chinese army is very limited mainly depend on the ability of Army, Air Force and Navy modernization, China's military strength has been ranked second in the world. The most impressive is that the Chinese armed forces now have the ability to stay away from the mainland action, such as the Chinese navy to African coast for a long time anti-piracy escort, Chinese maritime surveillance sector long-term patrol the South China Sea and East China Sea. China is clearly trying to build ocean-going fleet, to build a fleet of 70 submarines underwater, and the first carrier into the water, are examples. At the same time, the Chinese Air Force is also accelerating modernization, and start the 4th generation fighter, and gradually increase the combat difficulty, more and more frequently during the night action, while actively participating in joint exercises with the Army, Navy. Although the Chinese Air Force is still basically a self-defense force, but also has the ability to quickly reach over most of the disputed islands of the South China Sea. In addition, China's missile forces, as well as all the various types of missiles, including intercontinental ballistic missiles, including from the 1990s onwards have been strengthened, China successfully developed to sink U.S. aircraft carrier "wind-21D" anti-ship ballistic missile is cause for concern.
U.S. experts pointed out that the problem is that these figures are only the Chinese army as a whole part of the picture. In contrast, in addition to the quantity or level of modernization of the Chinese armed forces, questioned the quality of the Chinese military more, it is also therefore the strength of the Chinese army doubt. Chinese military combat training level lags far behind the West, the pilots in very little time, a large submarine force is rarely far away from the sea patrols of the coastal fortress. China is missing a huge career noncommissioned officers as the mainstay of modern military forces. The Chinese military system and regulations, or unknown. Have allowed to board the Chinese warships of the Western officers revealed that Chinese warships lack the most simple damage control system, causing some people think that these ships can not survive in the conflict. The enrichment of the Chinese weapons and ammunition depots do not know, do not rule out the possibility of the People's Liberation Army as early as early in the fight against no ammunition available. Chinese army battle command system is not sure. Finally, there is proved that the Chinese army fighting style a bit like the Soviet troops, the strict old rules deprived of creativity and inspiration of the commanders of combat units. Not flexible enough, lack of creativity, perhaps, the Chinese army is the weakest link.
Auslin, skeptics have reason to challenge China's military strength, perhaps, they pointed out the weakness of the People's Liberation Army may be right, but they ignore the main basis of the above. Chinese armed forces may not soon reach the level of magnitude and the U.S. and other, even if it might one day come to achieve this goal. China's military strength is not only to challenge the hegemony of the United States, there are other political objectives, the first competition for regional dominance, this goal may be to achieve. Now the Chinese army, including Japan, other Asian countries are strong, the risk of regional conflict with China is closely related to confidence in the chances of winning the national army. For example, in response to the Vietnamese Air Force fighter aircraft invaded the South China Sea islands, China announced last week will begin in the South China Sea, Xisha and Nansha Islands waters conduct regular combat patrols.
Though still on how to contain China and brains, but their own problems seem a little powerless, after all, how to maintain powerful military in Asia is a big challenge. Although the United States have the potential to expand in Asia garrison, but has yet to be consolidated through military strategy. Verbal claims to be active in the Asian region, the performance of action is not the same. The main problem is that the U.S. military budget is cut back sharply. To make matters worse, U.S. military strategists, neither consider the Chinese missile capable of destroying U.S. forward bases, did not develop the proper measures to deal with China's electronic warfare means, and does not solve the United States only seven fighter squadrons deployed forward base in Asia whether the appropriate response to China's continued strong military aerospace strength. If the United States lost its timely and resolute-range combat capability, China may prevent U.S. military intervention in the conflict areas, to limit the U.S. freedom of action in order to more easily seize the regional initiative. Perhaps, the paper tiger can prevail in the face of off the wings of an eagle.
