After what happened last night with the 'Live Fire Drills' over Korea, this story has gained much more eery relevance.

Through friends and relatives, I am aware of China's massive military buildup for over the last half-decade. They are preparing for something very big, and it seems that they are finding ways every day to become justified and publicly announce it.

A. China is working at becoming more open and modern . Thus updating old / outdated equipment - just as other countries do.

C. There is open dialogue and relations between china and japan are improving neither want war unlike the u.s.
D. The u.s needs to get out of asia and stop creating trouble in asia. As most of the trouble is being instigated by the u.s .
