U.S. Agency for International Assessment and Strategy Center recently published article by Richard Fisher, Richard Fisher, a China expert, said in order to compete will be smooth, and China may build airstrips and port facilities in Mischief Reef in the South China Sea, to the deployment of medium-sized transport aircraft, large offshore cruising machine, and a variety of ships.
 
In addition, the article also said that the PLA may also be F-10 aircraft deployed to the Mischief Reef. The Chinese navy has basically completed the basic layout, but also need time to upgrade to the combat capability in the South China Sea.
 
Fisher, according to Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao published the interview of retired People's Liberation Army General Staff Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang Li Admiral said Zhang Li will be recommended that the Chinese government disputed Mischief Reef in the South China Sea to the construction of Navy and Air Force equipment and react strongly
suggested that a "serious situation" in the South China Sea.
 
The article quoted Zhang Li General as saying that the 500 islands of the Nansha Islands, China controls only four (in fact, close to 9), while the Vietnamese control 29, the Philippines and Malaysia in control of four or more. Moreover, China has yet to build oil exploration platform in the Spratly Islands, while other countries where large-scale detection.
 
General Zhang Li said the Chinese government should be the implementation of a project consists of three steps to protect China's interests, Fisher said:
 
First, to increase the number of People's Liberation Army Navy and other agencies owned by large ships and cruise machine for better implementation of the Chinese statement on the South China Sea issue. Zhang Li said the Chinese government should be the construction of 3000 tons weight of the same frigate size ships, to complete the task;
 
Second, China should be deployed in the South China Sea 3D reconnaissance and observation system, because this ability to "very backward";
 
Third, the Chinese government should increase its investments in terminals and airports, and other "infrastructure", especially in the Mischief Reef. Zhang Li stressed that: Mischief Reef is particularly suitable for the construction of the airport and port, once these facilities are completed, China will be able to use them to control the islands of Southeast Asia as a whole. "This implies that the newly built airport will be extended to the People's Liberation Army F-10 and F - 11 fighter flight.
 
Fisher pointed out that the People's Liberation Army now seems to Zhang Li, the general did not take active construction of the project proposals of Mischief Reef, instead of using the progressive measures, and gradually established military facilities in the central part of the South China Sea to the southern waters. Since the 1974 recapture the Paracel Islands from Vietnam in the hands, Beijing has been to wait until 1988 before the beginning of the next military action to do to win back the six small islands or reefs of the Nansha Islands within its also initiated a number of islands occupied by the Vietnamese army the offensive.
 
Then, in the end of 1994 to early 1995 when China quietly occupied the Mischief Reef. China these three events are seen as top priority in the period of time or the South China Sea by Washington, Moscow and action of the drive means taken.
 
Fisher said that in 1995, the PLA only in the Mischief Reef a simple metal and wood platform. However, until 1998 when, at the northern end of the Mischief Reef established a number of concrete buildings, replacing the previous metal and wood platform. However, from 2004 to 2007, the PLA has extended its military facilities in the Spratly Islands.
 
To 2006 when the People's Liberation Army in an unknown island to establish a new tower has a dome may be a radar facility. In 2007, satellite images obtained by Jane's Information Group military installations on Mischief Reef has been extended to the southern tip of the Mischief Reef, the PLA established a larger concrete buildings. The satellite images also show that the tracking ship and other ships in the Mischief Reef-building action to provide support.
 
Fisher also said that the People's Liberation Army embarked on a larger scale building activities in the Mischief Reef, where the construction of airstrips and port facilities. This effort will need to use a lot of stone and concrete, which is the basis for the construction of airports, docks, warehouses, and camp buildings.
 
Although the final structure of the military facilities in the Mischief Reef is still unknown, but the article is that China needs to build a large military bases in the Mischief Reef, should be deployed in the J-10 J-11 multi-purpose fighter, which requires a about 1000 m airstrip runway.
 
Fisher said, are equipped with thrust-vectoring engines, the J-10 fighter to achieve the short-distance takeoff and landing, while the People's Liberation Army may eventually develop a short-range VTOL fighter, which will significantly reduce aircraft airstrip. Mischief Reef building a runway of 2000 meters, medium-sized aircraft or sea cruising machine will be able to land here.
 
Mischief Reef surrounding waters seem enough to make the People's Liberation Army's light cruisers and minesweepers and other small fighters Zhubo make large ships Zhubo of pier, but in order to build the People's Liberation Army also needs to continue to deepen. People's Liberation Army may be in the Mischief Reef construction of new buildings, including a pier or runway, including the ability to launch including a series of missiles, including the modern anti-aircraft missiles, cruise missiles or new long-range anti-ship ballistic missile infrastructure.
 
In addition, if the coastal areas of waters of the Mischief Reef can be deepened, the PLA may be deployed in existing or future about to be acquired by the PLA Navy air defense destroyers, air defense destroyers capable of launching long-range air defense and anti-ship missiles.
Fisher accordingly concluded that China is in fact according to Zhang Li, the general positive development of the military recommendations in order to control the South China Sea region not yet mastered.
 
As for the construction of a large base to the People's Liberation Army to provide assistance in the Mischief Reef, Fisher noted, first of all, the combination of Yongxing Island, Xisha Islands west of the existing Air Force base, the construction of military bases in the Mischief Reef, will provide for the People's Liberation Army in the South China Sea territorial waters both ends of the transfer station.
 
They can provide the location of placement of the radar or seabed sensor, the People's Liberation Army combat units to detect the unpopular U.S. or other Asian countries, the military. Mischief Reef to build large military bases also contribute to the People's Liberation Army Navy and Air Force supervision from the sea to the maritime waterway of the Straits of Malacca.
 
In addition, once in the land-building military bases, may sell the U.S. military assistance to the Philippines, the People's Liberation Army will be able to easily quickly to attack, or easy to use small minelayer and fast attack boats to truncate the Philippines maritime trade routes.
Crazy price to pay - neighboring countries Hukouduoshi the last time?
If you have to give the column a list of countries and China dispute the case, then we approximate list: India in southern Tibet to create controversy; the South China Sea countries to create the South China Sea disputes; Japan East China Sea, namely the Diaoyu Islands dispute; Korea Yellow Sea and East China Sea dispute. So why in China's navy has been to enter the Indian Ocean, and to combat piracy in Somalia at this moment, neighboring countries, but have jumped out, have and Chinese life and death.
 
In the end for what? Plus the United States of fanning the flames in the back, these countries gearing up, almost crazy to describe. But through these countries, crazy moves and choice of timing, we seem to see the reason why these countries eager Hukouduoshi, almost the same action with the moths, and the real background - perhaps the last time the following on this issue, we do some simple analysis. Eyes of the beholder, the wise see wisdom, can be used as one of the words.
