Military
armaments towards a frenzied course in the new Cold War era
“China
has flight-tested an upgraded version of its 10,000-km range Dongfeng
missile which could reach most of the U.S. and European cities, ...”
“Xu
Guangyu, a Beijing-based retired PLA major-general said the strategic
aim of the test is 'Beijing just wants to increase China’s military
might and its nuclear strategic threat. It’s not really targeting
the U.S. or other countries'.”
“'China
needs to conduct intensive weapons tests and military drills because
the (U.S.-led build-up) now in the Asia-Pacific area is not good for
Beijing,' he told the paper.”
“Maj.
Gen. Xu said the U.S. plan to send 60 per cent of its military force
to Asia by 2020 had put pressure on Beijing to step up missile
development.”
