Everyone who doesn’t believe the US would go nuts and bonkers if and when China could routinly send spy planes off the US coast must come from a position that everything is treated with fairness and equality.

The Chinese aren’t the Russians. Just like Russia has more to do with Iran’s nuclear program than China yet you only hear alarm over what they say China is contributing to Iran’s nuclear program. In the news recently was how the US Congress is up in arms and incensed that China is sending its own workers to build its embassy in Washington DC. For those that haven’t kept in touch with this throughout the years, the US is also building a new embassy in Beijing and back then before construction began, Congress demanded that no Chinese work on the US embassy for the fear of spying related issues. So why is the US so angry that China is doing the same with its embassy in Washington because of the very same fears the US has in Beijing? And we know the US has been caught planting bugs on the Chinese President’s plane while it was being serviced in the US by a private American company.

China doesn’t have a carrier yet the US, who has many, is already paranoid over the possibility of only one in the future. You don’t think there’s this exaggerated hypocritical paranoia the US has over China? I can go on pointing out a lop-sided paranoia on virtually everything. And you think the average American wouldn’t see a Chinese spy plane flying off the coast of the US as nothing less than a threat to US national security. If it happened, how many people in this forum alone would demand those planes be shot down?

And speaking of the US spy plane incident over China. Remember when the crew was being held… all those stories about the crew being tortured and the women being raped… Well when they were finally released, the crew said they were treated and fed very well. The only thing off was the pilot was once awoken in the middle of the night to be asked questions. Neo-cons in the government were screaming that was sleep deprivation torture and China violated their human rights. And to them water-boarding is not torture. Which ironically recently revealed was copied from torture techniques by the Chinese during the Korean War. So crimes are not determined by the act but by who commits the act. So what the Soviets did is really irrelevant.

If China flew spy planes off the coast of the US over international waters, it woud be considered an act of war.

If you’re talking about all the Boeings and Airbuses China has… China, as part of the agreement in purchasing, is not allowed to use those planes for military use especially when it comes to coverting them for military purposes. China already got some heat when they turned a 737 into a airborne command post. Never heard how that turned out.

For those that don’t know, that’s Mao’s grandson. As for the conference, it is unknown what the nature of it is since Mao’s grandson doesn’t hold any known position in the military.

Who said they were Chinese? All I said was these tels were probably destined for the DF-31A. Everyone knows that a lot of Chinese tels comes usually Russian designs.

What else are you going to be in denial about?

It’s not a tel. It’s just transporting the missile.

Plenty of pics out there of the tel. The other two are said to be for the DF-31A but some rumours says it’s for the dormant or cancelled DF-41.

Also, in others forums they say if the DF-31 needs a specific area for calibration before launch, then what about the JL-2?
