Chinese World Domination: Increasing Their Military Capability

This is the second article that expands on my original Big Peace article, “The Growing Potential of Chinese World Domination.” The first article, on defeating the U.S. economically, can be found here.
However, as a country becomes more and more successful, invasion by other nations becomes more and more likely. The leaders of China are not so foolish as to believe that this could not happen in this modern age. They know full well that total world domination is dependent on having a superior military force.

The reason that a strong military is critical to the success of any country was best explained in a commencement speech Defense Secretary Robert Gates made to the 2011 graduating class of the University of Notre Dame.

The ultimate guarantee against success of aggressors, dictators and terrorists in the 21st century is the size, strength and global reach of the United States military. …
Beyond the current wars, our military credibility, commitment and presence are required to sustain alliances, to protect trade routes and energy supplies, and to deter would-be adversaries from making the kind of miscalculations that so often lead to war.

Getting back to China and its drive to enhance its military capability on all fronts, NTI’s Global Security Newswire reported that,
China’s nuclear arsenal is being augmented through development of a missile that is capable of carrying a number of warheads and can be moved between different locations. The yearly Pentagon assessment of Chinese military capabilities estimates that Beijing holds as many as 75 long-range missiles tipped with nuclear warheads, along with 120 intermediate- and medium-range systems.

Taiwanese delegation visits Israel to seek technology partnerships


 A delegation of Taiwanese college professors is in Israel to meet with potential partners in the field of electronics as part of the Taiwan government's five-year plan to advance the high-tech industry.

According to the Jerusalem Post, 16 professors from four top universities in Taiwan embarked on a five-day visit from Sept. 8, calling on Israel-based multinationals and technology institutes.

The Taiwan government's US$413 million initiative to further develop the island's tech industry is centered on electronics-related medical designs, green energy, automobiles and cutting-edge consumer electronics.

The head of the delegation and coordinator of the initiative Chen Wen-tsuen, who once served as president of National Tsing Hua University, said the Israeli government has set a good example in sponsoring industry research in the country.

The Israeli government has a well-developed plan to nurture talent and establish research institutes, Chen said.

Multinationals, including Microsoft and SanDisk, are known to have incorporated Israeli technical expertise in their own products, which makes Israel a good role model and business partner, Chen said.

The visit is an indicator of the potential for bilateral trade between the two countries, following the Taiwan-Israel visa waiver agreement that took effect Aug. 11.

In the first half of 2011, Taiwan overtook Japan and South Korea to become Israel's third largest Asian trading partner, after China and India, according to Israeli government statistics.
