WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates expressed concern on Thursday about the increasing sophistication of China's military and called on Beijing to be more open about its intentions.  Gates said a new annual Pentagon assessment of China's military, due to be released on Friday, depicts "a country that has steadily devoted increasing resources to their military, that is developing some very sophisticated capabilities."   "Some of the capabilities that are being developed are of concern," he told reporters at the Pentagon.  

U

The China Military Power Report issued by the Pentagon last year said China's buildup retained a long-standing focus on rival Taiwan but that years of double-digit growth in arms spending gave it the ability to project power further afield.  

Gates, who has seen the 2007 report, said the new document would not contain "any exaggeration of the threat" and reiterated a long-held U.S. call for greater Chinese transparency about its intentions and strategies.   "These are assessments that are in this publication," he said. "It would be nice to hear first-hand from the Chinese how they view some of these things."   Chinese President Hu Jintao said on Wednesday his country must build up more modern armed forces to safeguard national security, according to the official Xinhua news agency.   The expansion of China's navy includes a growing submarine fleet and new ships suitable for the open seas, fueling fears in the United States that its military could alter the balance of power in Asia.  China has said it would attack Taiwan if the self-ruled island, which Beijing views as a renegade province, formally declares independence.

Cakap pasal Russia.. teingat saya pada nostradamus.

Nostradamus cakap Russia akan jadi kuasa besar dalam masa depan dan akan serang negara di eropah.

Dia juga cakap Olympic di China adalah yang terakhir.... kita tengok la...

Kenapa mereka ini la suka perang sangat la.... kerana dendam orang berkuasa, berjuta orang mati. :@ :@

"Nostradamus cakap Russia akan jadi kuasa besar dalam masa depan dan akan serang negara di eropah.

rusia dah lepas dari jadi kuasa besar..bab yg dia nak serang eropah tu..mungkin akan berlaku..ni kena refer pada pembesaran NATO di negara2 bekas satelit SOVIET dulu..negara2 tu kini tgh gatal nak join NATO..mmg sengaja cari pasal..sepatut nya mereka berkecuali...dan ada satu tu sedia jadi tempat sarang missile anti SSM-balistic missile punya...tu mmg jenderal rusia da bagi amaran yg mereka tak teragak-agak untuk guna kekerasan...

Bukan sahaja Nostradamus

ada satu budak.. Nama John titor.

dia cakap dia dari masa depan dan dia beritahu apa akan terjadi pada masa depan.

Olympic china adalah yang terakhir, russia akan serang eropah, USA akan pecah kepada lima negara..

Nostradamus.. Orang perancis.. dia dikatakan berhubung dengan Jinn dan jin itu curi maklumat tuhan dan mereka bertukar dan Nostradamus dapat la benda yang akan berlaku di masa depan. tapi dia letak semua benda dalam teka teki.

kau lihat la buku dia
http://www.sacred-texts.com/nos/index.htm

macam Quran atau bible.. susah nak faham....

tapi menurut dia, WW3 akan berlaku dalam tempoh 10 tahun ini...

dan dalam masa 50 tahun, populasi dunia akan kurang kepada separuh, manusia akan sengsara...

pertama adalah air semua tercemar,

kedua adalah udara yang toxic,

ketiga adalah manusia akan kelaparan dan menjurus kepada cannibalism...

baca pun rasa takut.

ini beberapa yang saya quote.

Nostradamus Century XII

XII 4
Fire, flame, hunger, robber, wild smoke,
It will cause to fail, striking hard, to destroy faith:
Arrow of "Dent

razhar

John titor? yg kata dia tu datang dari future? aku pun ada baca hal dia dan ada pegi ke web site dia..cuma aku nak gelak la dia punya time machine...'too advanced'......

razhar

Nostradamus..pun aku slalu peg ke web site yg cakap2 semua hal dia..cuma banyak teka teki..

I too question China's massive arms spending. They will become a threat to SE Asia.

Are you serious?

What about America then? They too have WMD. Is that ok? That is not a threat?

Debmey

America have a history of protecting SE Asia and giving us freedom, China on the other hand does have a history of invading and oppressing SE Asia and beyond.

Wooww..........

China oppress SE countries??

which countries except taiwan?

I think America oppress other countries more....

Don tell me that you support America cause America is a Christian country heh?

China occupied Vietnam for centuries with brutal rule.
China invaded Tibet and India.
China made vassals in SE Asia and collected tributes and also made war on SE and south asian states during the Ming Dynasty.
China also sponsored the genocidal Khmer Rouge and other communists elemenst thorughout SE Asia during the cold war. The historical leanings are clear. China does want to expand control over SE Asia.
