Washington: China is pursuing a major military buildup in a "secretive manner" developing survivable nuclear delivery system, a 1,500 km range anti-ship missile to hit aircraft carriers and has the most active land based ballistic and cruise missile programme in the world, Pentagon has said.
華盛頓：中國以“秘密方式”正在推行一項重大的軍事集結，發展一能生存的核運載系統，一1,500公里射程的反艦導彈以打擊航母，並有最活躍的陸基彈道導彈和巡航導彈計劃在世上，五角大樓說。
Beijing is acquiring 'capabilities' to strike from a distance, warned the US Defence department, saying these moves, "increases the potential of misunderstanding" and military conflict with other nations.
北京得到'能力'去從遠攻擊，美國國防部警告，說這些舉動“增加潛在的誤解”，並與其它國家發生軍事衝突。
In worrying new assessment, Pentagon said Beijing had developed missiles capable of striking targets in space and is also expanding its fleet of conventional and nuclear submarines to give it forces global reach.
在令人擔憂的新評估，五角大樓說，北京已發展導彈能夠打擊在太空的目標，及亦在擴張常規和核潛艇艦隊，給它遍及全球的力量。
The annual Congressional-mandated report by the Pentagon expressed concern about the lack of transparency from China into the force projection and anti-access, area denial capabilities it is acquiring.
一年一度五角大樓的美國國會授權的報告，表示關注中國缺乏透明度，從兵力估計和反介入，它正在得到的區域封鎖能力。
In 2009 alone, the Pentagon said China's military-related spending was US $150 billion. While some of the increasing Chinese capabilities have been put to positive use, like humanitarian and anti-piracy efforts, the report says, China's continued effort to be able to sustain military operations far from its shore was a cause of concern to the US military.

But, it said China had still limited ability to sustain military power at a distance. "They are fast catching up", the report said, by developing an anti-ship ballistic missile that has a range in excess of 1,500 kilometres, which is intended to provide the PLA with the capability to attack ships, including aircraft carriers in the Western Pacific.

According to the report, "China has the most active land-based ballistic and cruise missile program in the world. It is developing and testing several new classes of offensive missiles, qualitatively upgrading certain missile systems and developing methods to counter ballistic missile defenses," a Pentagon official told reporters.

China's active ballistic and cruise missile development programme also extends over into the area of its nuclear force modernisation, where China appears to be focusing on developing more survivable delivery systems, he said.

"Turning to the maritime realm, the PLA navy has the largest force of principal combatant submarines and amphibious warfare ships in Asia. China continues to invest heavily in undersea warfare with a mixture of nuclear-powered submarines and conventionally-powered diesel electric boats.

This is complemented by investment in new surface combatants designed to improve the PLA navy's capability and capacity for anti-surface and anti-air warfare," the official said.

"In the South China Sea, China's primary interests are related to securing its extensive sovereignty claims and exploiting natural resources. A stronger military presence in the region would also position it for force projection, blockade and surveillance operations to influence critical sea lanes," the official said.

"China's investment in advanced electronic warfare systems, counterspace weapons and computer network operations reflect the emphasis and priority China's leaders place on building capability in these areas," the senior Defense official said.

"China still has much work to do to translate its aspirations into operational capabilities, but we note that China is in fact working to translate those aspirations into operational capabilities," the official said.
