(a) Quotation from Admiral Mullen's talk and answers:
"Quite frankly, and I made this clear in Beijing, there’s just too much at
stake for us not to have an understanding of one another, or some way of
explaining ourselves. And so, we’ve started to have that conversation. We’
ve started to build a level of trust. There is a long way to go, I clearly
understand that. And I am under no illusion that we have cemented anything
like a partnership with the PLA. Maybe we never will. Differences between us
are still stark. But the work of establishing a relationship has to start
somewhere.
"They [Chinese] do have some high-end capabilities – the anti-satellite
shot was a very sophisticated shot, the long-range anti-carrier missile that
they’re developing, they’re very capable in the cyber world and I worry a
great deal about that.
"we don’t have a very deep – you know we have a very shallow understanding
of each other right now.
"I indicated General Chen Bingde talked about them being defensive
capabilities. He also speaks to being many years behind the United States. I
don’t share that view in every capability, but as I said earlier, I think
it’s important to understand what’s the actual capability as they field
these. Now they’ve got several of them in research and development, and so
we’ll see when they field them, but they’ve also done some highly-skilled,
highly-technical kinds of things that concern all of us, and I mentioned
two or three of them. So I think having a relationship where we can have
these discussions, be able to discuss the areas that we agree on as well as
the areas that we disagree on, is really vital. From a long-term strategy,
I think it’s probably still – from my perspective it’s too early to
understand where China is really going with this. They say it’s defensive;
we’ll see.
(b) But Admioral Mullen skirted around teh question: "Concerning the U.S.
Air Force’s station in Okinawa, you [US]might be a target, isn’t there a
risk of becoming a target of Chinese preemptive attack? If there is such a
risk, U.S. forces may be withdrawn to Guam? Is there such an option? And
when you are trying to deploy U.S. forces from Guam to an event around Japan
, how many hours would that take or how long would that take?" | z******8
