DaBunny, your xenophobic bigoted white man attitude is the same that caused colonialization, the creation of third world countries, global warming, apartheid, weapons of mass destruction, extinction of thousands of plant and animal species across the world; truth is, white people represent the worst of the human race. Now when another country wants to build up the arms to prevent itself from being colonialized by whites again, you bigots label it as “commie”, and think you’re right. Dumb ass. Maybe you guys can just kill off all the yellows, the blacks, the deer, the ecosystem; just nuke them all because that what whites are good at doing: Then you’ll have nothing left to shoot with your cowboy guns and hunting rifles but each other in your miserable little dead planet. Yippee kay yay you racist bastards! This forum is for losers; this is the first time I’ve come across it; the last time I’ll come here!

When I read the article, I was wondering how will China be a threat to the US? She just doesn't want to be bullied again that's all, I mean which nation would want those massacre and unfair treaties to be imposed on them? Remember 1962, it was India who wanted China as a partner to counter the Western powers. China distrusted India as the Indians adopted the 'forward policy' and intruded on Chinese territory since the Indians set up military posts north of the McMahon Line. But it was all a misunderstanding and a war was started. Just as the US claimed what she considered her states during the American civil war when the southern states seceded, is China 'expansionists' when she Claimed Tibet? How about US taking Mexican lands in the past, is it on Bush agenda to cede land back? A 'friendly to US and Europe' China would be beneficial to the West. Take about fighting rogue Islamic states like Iran and Iraq, a resurgent Russia and terrorism.

National strategies aimed at making the US unable to use the GPS system for guiding weapons is stupidity of the first degree, yes GPS weapons are acurate and deadly but overall they are a lot less deadly than a lot of our other capabilities. In a war scenario if a target has to be destroyed it will be. If that means we can neutralize it with a 500lb GPS guided weapon then awesome. If GPS is down and due to the range involved the only thing that can assure destruction of the target is nuclear weapons then we’ve still got lots and lots and lots of those. So really disabling US GPS can be looked at like this: China is staring at a fantasically well armed surgeon, we can acurately destroy almost anything we want fairly quickly. If China knocks the scalpel out of our hand and kicks sand in our eys, we still generally know where stuff is and we’ll use the sledge hammer.

if this scenario should ever happen it would be a very limited victory for US or THEM, so what are we going to stand for or give up? that is the question thats around the corner.

When evaluating a source, consider the source.
The “Union of Concerned Scientists” is NOT a neutral body by any means — it is a left-wing political organization. Their didsmissal of concerns re: China’s system may be true — but then, a tobacco company’s claim that smoking dangers are wildly overstated may also be true. A wise listener will understand the inherent biases at work and take both with a grain of salt, seeking to test their claims with greater rigor.
Especially when you look at the author’s actual expertise, which is far outside the realm of military satellite systems or the military generally.
Or when you consider that China isn’t exactly a transparent democracy, and so published budgets mean little — especially in military-related matters. A rather elementary insight for a supposed “expert” to miss.
There’s a lot we don’t know about Compass at this point, and many of the unknowns revolve around some pretty technical questions related to military (and hence not widely discussed) aspects of the GPS network.
The political and funding unknowns, meanwhile, are likely to remain unknowns until we can see defined events taking place. Given the 20-year planning cycle required for somethinglike a GPS satellite constellation, by then it’s a bit late. The UCS “contribution” to that part of the discussion is minimal, verging on negative value.

Mr Lin Chang:
Like most of your country’s products, your comments are useless drivel.

Hello friends,
I could not resist to smile a little bit about this forum. Most US people paid for starting wars are really getting nervous anytime a non-US country starts some high-tech project. I think it would be best to divide the world into let’s say for a start three parts. T for terror states, U for the US terror state and N the other normal states. We currently have accomplished phase 1 where we have this division. Next is to let the U and T states fight against each other and the outcome will be that U survives. As long as that phase goes on the N states have to come up with nitty gritty technology for the later fight. Of course this is done below U’s radar. Unfortunately the chinese and EU people sometimes drop some information e.g. about their GPS replacements or submarines kicking enemy troops ass. Nevertheless after the phase finished N will obviously face U. At that time N has developed as much force to kick U from earth. Yes, first things first, even if that results in a big bang. Then the world will be in a position to focus on real problems, without troublemaker U hanging around. The resources U currently eats up can be spent much more useful.
Sincerely,
a friend

Oh and another comment about Mike Corbeil’s dissertation.… “Yawn”

I agree with Mr. Prousalis’s assesment of Mike Corbeil.… He IS an Idiot…
