In Its Arms Race with America China Launches Two Satellites for Its GPS System

China has successfully launched two satellites to improve its own GPS system, which is vital for China’s military strength.

As pointed out in my post “China Steps Up Its Navy Buildup” on January 29, since China was challenged by its South China Sea disputes opponents due to Obama’s high-profile announcement of America’s return to Asia, China has begun its arms race with America. The haste in developing China’s GPS system is another clear evidence.

In my post “Obama’s Generous New Year Gift to China” on January 28, I said that Obama’s announcement of his new strategy characterized by substantial reduction of U.S. military budget was a generous New Year gift to China as it enables China to surpass America in military strength faster. I expect that as America will reduce its military spending while China is making every effort to step up its military buildup and as China and Russia become closer in their cooperation in weapon development, China may surpass America within a decade.
