Report warns of dangers to US with rise of China

The United States needs new weapon systems, including missile defenses and other advanced military capabilities, to deter and counter China's steady buildup of nuclear and conventional arms, according to a draft internal report by a State Department advisory board. The report, by the Secretary of State's International Security Advisory Board (ISAB), is the first to recommend such defenses against China, including technology in space. The draft, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Times, said Chinese strategy goes beyond building forces capable of retaking the island of Taiwan. China seeks to "break out" by projecting power beyond its region including sea lanes that carry energy resources for its modernization, the document said. The draft report said China's "major objective is to counter U.S. presence and U.S. military capabilities in East Asia through the acquisition of offensive capacities in critical functional areas that systematically exploit U.S. vulnerabilities." It said the buildup involves capabilities for "asymmetric warfare," such as space and computer weapons, that could help Chinese forces defeat a stronger U.S. military. Among the areas of U.S. strategic vulnerability identified in the report are gaps in U.S. missile defenses; dependence on space for communications; the U.S. inability to use force against China except through aircraft carrier groups; and "fragile electronics and the Internet." The report recommends that the United States acquire new offensive space and cyber warfare capabilities and missile defenses as well as "more robust sea- and space-based capabilities" to deter any crisis over Taiwan. China currently has about 20 missiles capable of reaching the United States but is projected to have more than 100 nuclear missiles, some likely with multiple warheads, by 2015, the report said................. read more

The U.S. will not last as a world super power forever. You can pretty much get that out of your heads. Look at history!!!! We've had agriculture and been somewhat Civilized for the last 10,000 some odd years and show me one Super power in history that has lasted !!!!!

The time for a shift is fast approaching and is inevitable. Instead of fighting it, adapt to it.

It is becoming a bit overwhelming with numerous reports of threats coming out all at the same time. There is also the financial market that could be in turmoil. All rolled together I am beginning to rethink some of my long term plans, you know, just in case the world is a vastly different place when I get older. Who knows though, no amount of planning predicts the future, and everything could be just fine.

I think we are very quickly moving towards not being a super power any longer. Personally I welcome it, I dont mind being a financially sound country, but I despise this global conquest, its our way or the highway attitude we have had for so many years.
