The report suggests that the “PLA is obtaining large numbers of highly accurate cruise missiles, many of which have ranges in excess of 185 km.” Michael Schiffer deputy assistant secretary of defense says, “the pace and scope of China's sustained military investment have allowed China to pursue capabilities that we believe are potentially destabilizing to regional military balances, increase the risk of misunderstanding and miscalculation, and may contribute to regional tensions and anxieties.” Schiffer also urges China to improve its military transparency and openness. Xinhua News Agency reports that Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Fu Ying responds to the criticism in an interview with German magazine, Der Spiegel by telling the world not to worry about China’s military ambitions. She says, “[the West and its allies] are not going to see a U.S. or a Soviet in China.” Office of Secretary of Defense, “Military and Security Developments Involving the People’s Republic of China 2011,” Annual Report to Congress, distributed by the United States Department of Defense, 24 August 2011, www.defense.gov; American Forces Press Service, Jim Garamone, “China Report Notes Military Modernization,” U.S. Department of Defense, 24 August 2011, www.defense.gov; Mo Hong’e, “Vice FM Urges West to Demolish Wall of Distrust with China,” Xinhua News Agency, 24 August 2011, www.xinhua.net. 10 August 2010 The Chinese navy launches its first aircraft‐carrier on its maiden voyage. Xinhua News Agency reports that the refitting work on the aircraft‐carrier will still continue after its sea trial. People’s Daily reports that the carrier is expected to officially operate with the Chinese Navy in August next year. The United States seeks explanation from China regarding the types of equipment installed on the aircraft carrier. U.S. State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland says that U.S.‐China relations should be an “open, transparent relationship in military‐to‐military affairs,” however does not believe that the two countries have reached that goal yet. According to the BBC News, Japanese Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa urged Beijing to give international community a clear explanation of needing an aircraft carrier with high maneuverability and attack capabilities. “The so‐called aircraft carrier is just a purchased hull China has been refitting for research and training purposes,” Chinese Vice Foreign Minister, Fu Ying said.

Geng, “there is not a question of when this ship is launched,” it will be decided upon the schedule of the refurbishment project. Col. Geng reiterates that China’s national defense policy will not change. However, some in the region feel threatened by the development. "China's next moves have to be watched carefully, or there eventually could be a negative impact on maritime safety in Asia," said Yoshihiko Yamada, a professor at Japan's Tokai University. “我国改建第一艘航空母舰 用于科研试验和训练[China's First Aircraft Carrier Converted for Research Testing and Training],” Zhongguo Guangbowang [CNR] (China), 28 July 2011, www.cnr.cn; Ben Blanchard and Benjamin Lim, “China Building Aircraft Carriers; Neighbors Worried,” MSNBC, 27 July 2011, www.msnbc.com; Jeremy Page, “China Says Carrier Won’t Alter Naval Strategy,” The Wall Street Journal, 28 July 2011, www.wsj.com. 10 June 2011 The Malaysian Insider, based on Wikileaks, asserts that a Malaysian company, Electronics Component Limited (with links to Iran) has tried to purchase gyroscopes used for guiding missiles from Chinese firm VibTel Industrial.

State‐run Xinhua publishes, “The Chinese state news agency has posted photographs of an aircraft carrier [巨舰即将出航 圆70年中国人航母梦: Giant Ship to make maiden voyage, Chinese dream comes true after 70 years] under reconstruction that appears to show the warship near completion.” According to the Associated Press, China purchased the carrier from the Ukraine more than a decade ago. The ship first named Riga when its construction began in 1985 was later named the Varyag. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Ukraine sold the ship to China in 1992 when it was structurally complete, but without electronics. According to Asia Times, China installed the shipborne multi‐function Active Phased Array Radar and Sea Eagle as sensors, which were also equipped with Flying Leopard 3000 Naval air defense missile system. It is not yet known how China will outfit the carrier with missiles. “巨舰即将出航 圆70年中国人航母梦 [Giant Ship to Make Maiden Voyage, Chinese Dream Comes True After 70 Years],” Xinhua Photos, www.xinhua.net; Edward Wong, “Chinese Warship May Be Nearly Ready,” The New York Times, 7 April 2011, www.nytimes.com; “China’s First Aircraft Carrier to be Completed Soon: Reports,” The China Post (Taiwan), 7 April 2011, www.chinapost.com.tw; “China’s 1st Aircraft Carrier Watched by Region,” The Associated Press, 13 April 2011; Jens Kastner, “Ming Dynasty Admiral Spooks Taiwan,” Asia Times (Hong Kong), 13 April 2011, www.atimes.com; “China Aircraft Carrier Confronted by General,” BBC News, 8 June 2011, www.bbc.co.uk. 16 March 2011 According to Jane’s Defense & Security Intelligence & Analysis, China’s new Dongfeng‐16 missile poses a serious threat to Taiwan, and “China has begun deploying a new pattern of ballistic missiles against Taiwan.” Taiwan National Security Bureau Director‐General Tsai Der‐sheng emphasizes that the “Dongfeng‐16 is a new type of ballistic missile that has a longer range than anything in China’s current cross‐Taiwan Straight arsenal.” It is thought to have a range of 800‐1,000 km, and but it is not known if it has multiple‐warhead technology. Chinese military expert, Xu Guangyu denies the existence of Dengfeng‐16 missiles. He argues that Taiwan is making false reports in order to increase U.S.‐Taiwan arms sales.

  • Competitiveness Analysis of China's Main Coastal Ports
    2019 International Conference on Economic Development and Management Science (EDMS 2019) Competitiveness analysis of China's main coastal ports Yu Zhua, * School of Economics and Management, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 210000, China; [email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: China coastal ports above a certain size, competitive power analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis Abstract: As a big trading power, China's main mode of transportation of international trade goods is sea transportation. Ports play an important role in China's economic development. Therefore, improving the competitiveness of coastal ports is an urgent problem facing the society at present. This paper selects 12 relevant indexes to establish a relatively comprehensive evaluation index system, and uses factor analysis and cluster analysis to evaluate and rank the competitiveness of China's 30 major coastal ports. 1. Introduction Port is the gathering point and hub of water and land transportation, the distribution center of import and export of industrial and agricultural products and foreign trade products, and the important node of logistics. With the continuous innovation of transportation mode and the rapid development of science and technology, ports play an increasingly important role in driving the economy, with increasingly rich functions and more important status and role. Meanwhile, the competition among ports is also increasingly fierce. In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy and the promotion of "the Belt and Road Initiative", China's coastal ports have also been greatly developed. China has more than 18,000 kilometers of coastline, with superior natural conditions. With the introduction of the policy of reformation and opening, the human conditions are also excellent.

    State Department Reform Report of an Independent Task Force Cosponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations and the Center for Strategic and International Studies Frank C. Carlucci, Chair Ian J. Brzezinski, Project Coordinator The Council on Foreign Relations, Inc., a nonprofit, nonpartisan national orga- nization founded in 1921, is dedicated to promoting understanding of international affairs through the free and civil exchange of ideas. The Council’s members are dedicated to the belief that America’s peace and prosperity are firmly linked to that of the world. From this flows the mission of the Council: to foster America’s understanding of other nations—their peoples, cul- tures, histories, hopes, quarrels, and ambitions—and thus to serve our nation through study and debate, private and public. THE COUNCIL TAKES NO INSTITUTIONAL POSITION ON POLICY ISSUES AND HAS NO AFFILIATION WITH THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. ALL STATEMENTS OF FACT AND EXPRESSIONS OF OPINION CONTAINED IN ALL ITS PUBLI- CATIONS ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE AUTHOR OR AUTHORS. The Council will sponsor an Independent Task Force when (1) an issue of current and critical importance to U.S. foreign policy arises, and (2) it seems that a group diverse in backgrounds and perspectives may, nonetheless, be able to reach a meaningful consensus on a policy through private and nonpartisan deliberations. Typically, a Task Force meets between two and five times over a brief period to ensure the relevance of its work. Upon reaching a conclusion, a Task Force issues a report, and the Council publishes its text and posts it on the Council website.

  • CRUISE MISSILE THREAT Volume 2: Emerging Cruise Missile Threat
    By Systems Assessment Group NDIA Strike, Land Attack and Air Defense Committee August 1999 FEASIBILITY OF THIRD WORLD ADVANCED BALLISTIC AND CRUISE MISSILE THREAT Volume 2: Emerging Cruise Missile Threat The Systems Assessment Group of the National Defense Industrial Association ( NDIA) Strike, Land Attack and Air Defense Committee performed this study as a continuing examination of feasible Third World missile threats. Volume 1 provided an assessment of the feasibility of the long range ballistic missile threats (released by NDIA in October 1998). Volume 2 uses aerospace industry judgments and experience to assess Third World cruise missile acquisition and development that is “emerging” as a real capability now. The analyses performed by industry under the broad title of “Feasibility of Third World Advanced Ballistic & Cruise Missile Threat” incorporate information only from unclassified sources. Commercial GPS navigation instruments, compact avionics, flight programming software, and powerful, light-weight jet propulsion systems provide the tools needed for a Third World country to upgrade short-range anti-ship cruise missiles or to produce new land-attack cruise missiles (LACMs) today. This study focuses on the question of feasibility of likely production methods rather than relying on traditional intelligence based primarily upon observed data. Published evidence of technology and weapons exports bears witness to the failure of international agreements to curtail cruise missile proliferation. The study recognizes the role LACMs developed by Third World countries will play in conjunction with other new weapons, for regional force projection. LACMs are an “emerging” threat with immediate and dire implications for U.S. freedom of action in many regions .

  • Elite Politics and the Fourth Generation of Chinese Leadership
    Elite Politics and the Fourth Generation of Chinese Leadership ZHENG YONGNIAN & LYE LIANG FOOK* The personnel reshuffle at the 16th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party is widely regarded as the first smooth and peaceful transition of power in the Party’s history. Some China observers have even argued that China’s political succession has been institutionalized. While this paper recognizes that the Congress may provide the most obvious manifestation of the institutionalization of political succession, this does not necessarily mean that the informal nature of politics is no longer important. Instead, the paper contends that Chinese political succession continues to be dictated by the rule of man although institutionalization may have conditioned such a process. Jiang Zemin has succeeded in securing a legacy for himself with his “Three Represents” theory and in putting his own men in key positions of the Party and government. All these present challenges to Hu Jintao, Jiang’s successor. Although not new to politics, Hu would have to tread cautiously if he is to succeed in consolidating power. INTRODUCTION Although the 16th Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Congress ended almost a year ago, the outcomes and implications of the Congress continue to grip the attention of China watchers, including government leaders and officials, academics and businessmen. One of the most significant outcomes of the Congress, convened in Beijing from November 8-14, 2002, was that it marked the first ever smooth and peaceful transition of power since the Party was formed more than 80 years ago.1 Neither Mao Zedong nor Deng Xiaoping, despite their impeccable revolutionary credentials, successfully transferred power to their chosen successors.

  • China's 17Th Communist Party Congress, 2007: Leadership And
    Order Code RS22767 December 5, 2007 China’s 17th Communist Party Congress, 2007: Leadership and Policy Implications Kerry Dumbaugh Specialist in Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Summary The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) 17th Congress, held from October 15 - 21, 2007, demonstrated the Party’s efforts to try to adapt and redefine itself in the face of emerging economic and social challenges while still trying to maintain its authoritarian one-Party rule. The Congress validated and re-emphasized the priority on continued economic development; expanded that concept to include more balanced and sustainable development; announced that the Party would seek to broaden political participation by expanding intra-Party democracy; and selected two potential rival candidates, Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang, with differing philosophies (rather than one designated successor-in- waiting) as possibilities to succeed to the top Party position in five years. More will be known about the Party’s future prospects and the relative influence of its two potential successors once the National People’s Congress meets in early 2008 to select key government ministers. This report will not be updated. Periodically (approximately every five years) the Chinese Communist Party holds a Congress, attended by some 2,000 senior Party members, to authorize important policy and leadership decisions within the Party for the coming five years. In addition to authorizing substantive policies, the Party at its Congress selects a new Central Committee, comprised of the most important figures in the Party, government, and military.1 The Central Committee in turn technically selects a new Politburo and a new Politburo Standing Committee, comprised of China’s most powerful and important leaders.
