China getting ready for a military encounter with America?
According to international think tanks, China and America will engage in a war in the next ten years over the energy – oil and natural gas. China is slowly getting ready to face the only military superpower of the world – America. They are cutting their infantry numbers drastically and making the Peoples Liberation Army totally high tech with gravity driven bunker-busting bombs, advanced missile sand so on.
According to media sources from Beijing, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) plans to cut 200,000 military personnel by the end of 2005, the PLA Daily reported on July 14. The report said the military is carrying out extensive restructuring by adding new units and cutting outdated ones to increase combat effectiveness and combat-command capabilities. The restructuring calls for new lows in the number of officers at PLA headquarters and functional branches at various command levels, and for some low-level officer posts to be transferred to soldiers or civilian personnel. The reductions in personnel will decrease PLA troops from 2.5 million to 2.3 million.
According to international think tanks, China plans to spend lot of its foreign exchange reserves (ironically much of it earned from United States) in defense research and development of advanced weapon systems. The high tech PLA will be in place by 2007. Another interesting thing happening is that China is developing a strong special operations force similar to that of America ready to go behind enemy lines and operate from there.
