" A central goal of the confrontations 
has been to deploy
an anti-ballistic missile shield (ABM) in Asia, which
the Administration is now in the process of doing. So
far it has enlisted Japan and Australia in this effort,
and is wooing India as well. While the rationale for
the ABM is alleged to be North Korea, the real target
is China's 20 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles
ICBM)."

"The strategy of ringing China 
with U.S. military bases
is also well underway. 

Besides its traditional bases in
Japan and South Korea, 
Guam has become, 
according to
Pacific Commander Admiral William Fargo,
 a 'power
projection hub," 
that will play 
an increasing role in
Asia, with 'geo-strategic importance.' 

can you say
" Global Hawk ". Since Guam is a U.S. colony acquired during the
Spanish American war, the military does not need
permission for the buildup, as it would in Japan or
Korea.

The U.S. is also attempting to build bases in Southeast
and South Asia. While Indonesian authorities deny the
story, the Singapore Times reports that the U.S. is
presently negotiating to open a naval base on Sulawesi
Island. It is also strengthening military ties to
Thailand, Singapore, India, Sri Lanka, and Malaya.

The encirclement has also spread to Central Asia, an
important source of oil and gas for China. The U.S.
presently has bases in Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan, and
Tajikistan, and military ties with Uzbekistan,
according to Rumsfeld, are "growing stronger by the
month."

Several of these countries border China.

The Chinese response has been to increase their
military budget, particularly in response to the U.S.
ABM system. 'Once the United States believes it has a
strong spear and a strong shield,' Sha Zukang, a
leading Chinese arms expert told the New York Times,
'it could lead them to conclude that no one can hurt
the United States and they can harm anyone they like
anywhere in the world."

The Chinese currently have 20 CSS-4 ICBMs, but appear
to be increasing that force to between 75 and 100
missiles, as well as upgrading the CSS-4's guidance
systems. It is also only a matter of time before China
puts multiple warheads (MIRVs) on their missiles, a
deeply destabilizing move. MIRVing is a cost-effective
way to overwhelm an ABM system, but one that can also
tempt an adversary to launch a first-strike attack.

China is also deploying missile-firing submarines to
offset the U.S. buildup in the Taiwan Straits.

The "containment' policies of the hawks have not
damaged the growing Chinese economy---now the world's
third largest---or shaken the grip of the Chinese
Communist Party. But they have accelerated an arms race
in the region, fueled growing nationalist movements in
both China and Japan, and raised the stakes of any
potential clash over Taiwan.

The last time the 'China Lobby' tried to contain China,
it was a country devastated by World War II and its own
civil war. Today it is a nuclear-armed giant, whose
economic growth has lifted economies from Tokyo to Rio
de Janeiro. Americans need to ask themselves: Is it
really a good idea to push that dragon into a corner?
