Navy and Marine Corps leaders warned Friday that China's rapid
military buildup in the Pacific Ocean could force the United States to
move ships and forces in response.
Friday's comments from Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus and Marine Corps
Commandant Gen. Robert Neller followed a week of warnings by Adm. Harry
Harris to Congress that the pace of China's militarization on a string
of man-made islands in the South China Sea is changing operations in the
Pacific.
During his testimony this week on Capitol Hill, Harris, commander of
the Pacific Command, cautioned China has swiftly moved jets, missiles,
bombers and radars onto many of the man-made islands that it built
during the last year. China developed the islands by building on top of
submerged coral reefs and other underwater land features in the South
China Sea.
"These are actions that are changing, in my opinion, the operational landscape in the South China Sea," Harris told lawmakers.
The weapons that China is placing on those islands could require the
United States to reconsider its own presence in the region, Richardson
and Neller said Friday at an event hosted by the Brookings Institution,
public policy research group in Washington, D.C. The Navy already wants
to have 60 percent of its planned fleet of 308 US warships committed to
the Pacific by 2020.
For example, Richardson said China's advances might require the
United States to reassess its attack submarine fleet. The Navy has said
for years that 48 attack submarines is what it needs to carry out its
mission. But Richardson said Friday that might not be enough.
"That number is really based on analysis from 2006," he said. With
China's recent developments, "that's becoming a more urgent situation."
China has completed three 10,000-foot runways and dispatched advanced
attack aircraft and bomber aircraft to the islands. In recent weeks, it
has also installed advanced surface-to-surface missiles and radar
systems that could make US aircraft carriers more vulnerable.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

JUST AHEAD OF LEAP YEAR 2016 FEBRUARY 29TH THE US AIRFORCE ANNOUNCES ITS NEXT GENERATION BOMBER THAT WILL REPLACE THE WW2 ERA DESIGNED COLD WAR B52 BOMBER TO BE CALLED THE B21
The US Air Force on Friday
unveiled the first image of its next-generation bomber that will replace
antique B-52s first developed during the Cold War.

The
all-black plane has a distinctive, zigzagging shape and a super-low
profile that will make it hard to spot on radar, and bears more than a
passing resemblance to the Air Force's B-2 bomber, which is also made by
Northrop Grumman.
The new
stealth bomber has yet to be built, so Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee
James displayed an artist's rendering at an Orlando event.
She
said the plane, previously known as the Long Range Strike Bomber, would
be called the B-21 until a new name has been agreed on, and she invited
air crews to help.
"This
aircraft represents the future for our Airmen, and (their) voice is
important to this process," James told the Air Force Association's Air
Warfare Symposium.

THE APPLE AND ITS CHINA ACCOMODATION TO BEND BACKWARDS FOR THE COMMUNIST REGEME TO KEEP USING ITS CITIZENS LIKE SLAVES TO BUILD CHEAP IPHONES WHILST REAPING PROFITS THE CAPITALISTIC WAY AS RUN BY THE LIBERAL LEADERSHIP - WHILTS ITS HOMELAND FRONT GETS THE STONE WALL OF CHINA INSTEAD AS APPLE FIGHTS THE FBI FOR IPHONE ACCESS TO THE HUSBAND AND WIFE TERRORISTS KILLING AMERICANS IN SAN BERNANDINO CA
Apple Inc. has come out swinging in its pitched battle with the government on its home turf.
But when it comes to its second-largest market, China, the Cupertino, Calif., company has been far more accommodating.
Since the iPhone was officially introduced in China seven years ago, Apple has overcome a national security backlash there and has censored apps that wouldn't pass muster with Chinese authorities. It has moved local user data onto servers operated by the state-owned China Telecom and submits to security audits by Chinese authorities.
The approach contrasts with Apple's defiant stance against the FBI, which is heaping pressure on the company to decrypt an iPhone that belonged to San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook.
