Chinese President HuJingtao shakes hands with army veterans. The 80th birthday of the 2,300,000 strong People's Liberation Army, complete with weapons testing, dramatic battlefield reenactments and a pledge of loyalty 1 to the Communist leadership.


We will creat a brighter future under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party.


It's a rare look into the People's Liberation Army as China opens a military camp to reporters in a bid to show its armed forces are open and transparent 2. But questions grow about the intent of that powerful army amid a rapid and largely secret military modernization 3. In the past year China has blinded a US reconnaissance satellite with a ground-based laser. It destroyed one of its own satellites with an anti-satellite missile. And a Chinese submarine shadowed the USS Kitty Hawk 4 carrier group for a time undetected. The official Washington view is that China is a partner. The US navy has said publicly China is building its capabilities 5 but is not a threat.


There is no question that the Pentagon sees China as a very formidable foe 6 and that there is a threat that they must plan against. The idea that we do not know their intentions, I think, is basically diplomatic talk.


Meanwhile China developes evermore sophisticated weaponry. And US diplomacy 7 with China, at least publicly, centers on trade. The American Treasury 8 Secretary again in China pressing the government for economic reform, even as America's huge and growing trade deficit 9, many say, helps fuel China's military growth.


Many say China's anti-satellite missles, its new fighter jets and an ambition for a blue water navy are clear signals that it intends to project power in the region and potentially challenge the United States in the Pacific.
