Comments on: Is China Building Aircraft Carriers? http://defensetech.org/2008/05/23/is-china-building-aircraft-carriers/ The Future of the Military, Law Enforcement and National Security Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:06:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Garyhttp://defensetech.org/2008/05/23/is-china-building-aircraft-carriers/#comment-257253 Gary Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:23:17 +0000 http://deftech.usmilblog.com/?p=2861#comment-257253 During the Ming dynasty the Chinese had a massive fleet which they used for gunboat diplomacy and to attack and invade other countries that didn't bow to their rule. So I find it a bit strange that the Chinese say they are peaceful and have never invaded another country, they actually pioneered the methods the US uses today. This obsession China has with obtaining aircraft carriers stems from a desire to return to the days of the great fleet led by Admiral Zheng-He. They want to once again exert their influence on other countries, especially in the South China Sea. Except this time the US also has a great fleet and the members of ASEAN are relying on it for protection, this is why the US was invited to join the organisation.

What can China do? Nothing! Because its Navy is not strong enough to stop the American. Only when China is strong will America and others respect her. And the chinese people is resolute in this aspect, to become strong and be respected!.

At least not for another 20 years. China has much more to gain by stability than war.

Building aircraft carriers is most likely to defend strategic interests such as supply routes. http://aircraft.zurf.info/article/building-chinas…

Go visit Tibet. Opps, sorry there is no Tibet. It was absorbed by communist China, via military force. And there has been a lot of ongoing killing to back that up. Especially killing of unarmed peoples. This is not saying that almost all nations, that had the ability to be aggressors, were innocent, as China also is aggressive. But just showing your comment quite in error. China not aggressors for 1000 years?

Please see ourselves in the mirror before pointing to others.

I have a long list of US activities that could categorize the US as aggressors. As for stopping exporting coal to China. How is this in Australia's interests ? I don't think US interests are necessarily Australias interests ? And what has China done to achieve the label as aggressors ? I have a long list

Australia can stop exporting coal, iron ore, gas and other industrial raw materials and energy to China though this would severly impact the Australian economy.
