As reported in the Associated Press (CLICK HERE), on October 30, 2009 a U.S. Navy admiral expressed new concern over China's military buildup. China's military is growing at "an unprecedented rate," Rear Adm. Kevin Donegan told reporters on a visit to the Chinese territory of Hong Kong. "I am absolutely concerned," Admiral Donegan said.
Donegan is commander of the USS George Washington aircraft carrier strike group, a key part of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
Donegan warned about China's expanded weaponry. The Admiral’s warnings echoed the concerns of other U.S. military leaders who have said the growth in China's military spending raises questions about Beijing’s intentions. China’s military spending has jumped almost 15 percent in the 2009 budget.
China has boosted military spending by more than 10 percent EVERY YEAR for almost two decades. And these official figures for China’s defense spending are believed by many analysts to represent only a fraction of China’s real total military budget. China is hiding most of its budget.
China has been adding sophisticated new warships, submarines, fighter jets and other weapons systems to its arsenal.

Passenger Airplanes were Targeted by CHINESE Shoulder-Fired Missiles, to be Carried by COSCO through Pier J
In April 2006, a Chinese-American was convicted in Los Angeles of trying to smuggle 200 CHINESE-made QW-2 shoulder-fired missiles into the United States, says the FBI’s Los Angeles office.
These 200 anti-aircraft missiles are like American ‘stingers.’ These portable, shoulder-fired missiles can shoot down and destroy civilian passenger jets, or B-52's or B-1 bombers taking off during a military crisis. A guerrilla or terrorist could jump out of a car near an airport, pull the missile off the car seat, put it on his shoulder, shoot down an airplane, and then zoom away in a speeding car before anyone realized what was happening.
Passenger jets taking off or landing at US airports could be shot out of the sky to spread chaos and economic panic in the United States. This could be done anonymously by handing the missiles off to gangs or terrorist groups. Or it could be done in the opening stages of any military conflict.
The FBI uncovered the plot during their "Operation Smoking Dragon." The proposal was to sell 24 shipping containers. That is, the missiles were packed for shipping on COSCO ships through Pier J in Long Beach, controlled by COSCO as an arm of the Chinese government.
These 200 shoulder-fired missiles (in their crates and with other equipment) would have been smuggled through Pier J in the Port of Long Beach aboard COSCO ships.
Chinese General Wang and a Chinese government-run company named Xinshidai were behind the missile-smuggling conspiracy, reports Bill Gertz of the Washington Times.
PLEASE SIGN OUR PETITION to pass the Seaport Security Act and kick the communist Chinese out of Long Beach Pier J. China can still send their cargo ships to America. But the ships should be unloaded onto US soil by American longshoreman, supervised by American managers, with the facilities controlled by Americans.
CHINESE, not Americans, will REBUILD NYC Subway
China State Construction nets $100m US subway deal (click here)
China State Construction Engineering Corp, the largest contractor in China, has bagged a subway ventilation project worth about $100 million in New York's Manhattan area, marking the construction giant's third order in the United States' infrastructure space this year.
The contract was given to China Construction American Co, a subsidiary, the Wall Street Journal quoted a source as saying.
"The new project, along with the $410-million Hamilton Bridge project and a $1.7-billion entertainment project it won earlier this year, signals China State Construction's ambition to tap the American construction market," said Li Zhirui, an industry analyst at First Capital Securities.
Li, however, said the order came as no surprise as the US government is spending massively on infrastructure projects.
The three orders only account for about 4 percent of the value of its total orders this year, Li added.
In the first three quarters of this year, the Chinese construction giant signed more than $2 billion worth of contracts in the US market. China State Construction was also the contractor for a high school, a railway station and the Chinese embassy in the US.
Despite the progress made in the US market, the Middle East, Asia and Africa remain the State builder's key markets. The value of its contracts in Algeria this year increased 32 percent year-on-year, exceeding $800 million, and the value of its contracts in the Middle East surged 62 percent year on year, also exceeding $800 million.

American Border Control WARNS of VAST EXPANSION of Chinese Control of Pier J in Long Beach
American Border Control now reveals a shocking expose, and is warning America of a vast expansion of communist Chinese government presence that is planned at Pier J in the Port of Long Beach, in Los Angeles Harbor.
Communist China now controls 147 acres of US soil, through its government subsidiary, the Chinese Overseas Shipping Company (COSCO). Although China tries to pretend that COSCO is purely a commercial enterprise, it is owned and controlled by the communist government of China. The US Congress has determined that COSCO is a an arm of the Chinese military. And ask those who died at Tienneman Square what happens to thos who defy the communist Chinese government.
COSCO ships have participated in military maneuvers in China's military exercises. China's military doctrine includes using all ships, including COSCO ships, in any military campaign.
But things are going to get much worse.
An investigation by American Border Control has obtained a document called the Port of Long Beach’s Facilities Master Plan. But A.B.C. also located and analyzed details BURIED in this plan overlooked by others.
The Port of Long Beach Harbor Commissioners -- the governing board -- approved a controversial expansion project for China's benefit.
This new expansion project will transform COSCO's Pier J into a massive 385-acre megaterminal. Under the 20 year lease, Communist China will control this 385 acre site in Los Angeles Harbor. However, the City of Long Beach will pay for the expansion.
American Border Control confirmed this on November 10, 2009, with the Engineering Department of the Port of Long Beach, with Ms. Conley there. Within a year or two, Long Beach will add another 54 acres then another 115 acres. The Port will build more land where there is now ocean by dredging the harbor, adding giant boulders, and extending the land further out into the sea. This is how the current Pier J was created. A Pier J expansion of 120 acres was completed in the early 1990s.
So China will go from controlling a 147 acre private naval base inside Los Angeles Harbor to controlling a 385 acre private naval base inside Los Angeles Harbor.
American Border Control also confirmed that in 2002, COSCO signed a 20 year lease with the Port of Long Beach. So unless something is done, China will remain in control of Pier J until 2022.
Please sign our petition to have Congress enact the Seaport Security Act. This Act will require that all "ports of entry" (border crossing points) and critical infrastructure must be under the control of US citizens and US companies. We should have Americans, not Chinese communists, control America's border and "ports of entry" into the United States.
