How China's Growing Military Clout Strengthens Its Economic Superpower Status at Golden Networking's China Business Conference
Golden Networking's 2nd China Leaders Forum, "Is the Chinese Dragon Poised for Global Dominance or Economic Implosion?" (http://www.ChinaLeadersForum.com), October 6th, New York. China Leaders Forum 2009 DVD Video Package Now Available Online.
New York, NY, September 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- How China's growing military clout strengthens its economic superpower status will be debated at length at Golden Networking's 2nd China Leaders Forum, "Is the Chinese Dragon Poised for Global Dominance or Economic Implosion?" (http://www.ChinaLeadersForum.com), October 6th, New York City.
As reported by Los Angeles Times, "'China's military capacity has been growing by and large unabated,' Adm. Robert F. Willard, commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific, told Congress earlier this year, adding that some moves 'appear designed to challenge our freedom of action in the region.' The Chinese say they're acting to regain sovereignty over islands and waters that they contend were once theirs, stolen by foreign powers when their country was weak. (Their neighbors dispute those claims.) China wants the United States, the distant power that has regulated Asia's balance of power since World War II, to butt out."
"Some China-watchers suggest that Beijing's new aggressiveness in the region is evidence that the Chinese military, which tends to be hawkish, has gained new influence over foreign policy. For now, China seems to be simply testing its neighbors — and the United States — to see what it can get away with at a time when the Obama administration has its hands full in Afghanistan. But that may turn out to be a counterproductive foreign policy. Because of China's truculence, U.S. relations with Japan, Korea and Vietnam have almost never been better. Over the long run, though, China's new assertiveness is likely to continue. The underlying causes —growing economic power, a gnawing need for oil and mineral resources, a history of well-founded grudges against foreign imperialists, a normal dose of old-fashioned nationalism — are still there."
