China: May 28, 2001

21st Century Pearl Harbor in the Works; China has made no secret of their desire to fight a future war by their own rules. Several recent books by Chinese officers have made this quite plain. Among the new items China has in the works are; their own GPS satellite system (allowing them to destroy ours and then use their own for precision missile attacks), ballistic missiles equipped with radar homing warheads (to take out early warning systems and make it easier for their warplanes to attack), cruise missiles (using the new Chinese GPS), robotic recon aircraft (to spot targets and perform electronic warfare tasks) and many new tools with which to attack targets on the internet. All of these new tools are to be used with new and unexpected tactics, meant to obtain the greatest amount of surprise and damage on the enemy (Taiwan, the US or neighbors of China.)
