The appearance of the land-to-land missiles, 20 meters long and some three meters in diameter, brings the military parade into a climax. These long-range, midium-range and inter-continental missiles are believed to a powerful strategic weapon to deter any aggressors. New Strategic Nuke Missiles Smaller BEIJING (Oct. 1) XINHUA - In the procession of the strategic weapons rumbling through the Chang'an boulevard, in central Beijing, are vehicles-drawn strategic missiles whose size is similar to that of tactical missiles that are parading ahead of them. An officer from the strategic missile troops, who is standing on the platform in front of the Tian'anmen Rostrum, says that the change in the size marks a remarkable progress in the development of strategic weapons in China. These smaller nuke missiles are maneuverable in any kinds of hard places like mountains, forests, and deserts. China-Parade-Fighter Bomber New Fighter Bombers Debut BEIJING (Oct. 1) XINHUA - A new generation of strike fighters independently manufactured in China are now flying over the Tiananmen Square at an altitude of 750 meters. The "Feibao", or "flying leopard" fighter bomber features high altitude and high speed. An arm of the navy air unit, this type of fighter bomber is used not only for strategic bombing of ground targets but also for direct assault at targets in the air. Manufactured at the Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturer in northwest China's Shaanxi Province, the fighter bomber staged a brief flying performance during the '98 Air Exposition in Zhuhai, south China. However, only a few people had the chance to have a look at the strike fighter. China Displays New Artillery Weapons BEIJING (Oct. 1) XINHUA - Eight square formations of artillery troops are passing by the Tiananmen Rostrum. Among those displayed are howitzers, smoothbore guns, rocket launchers, anti-aircraft guns and cannons. Only one type was seen in the National Day parade in 1984, while all the others are publicly displayed for the first time. All of the artillery equipments are designed and manufactured in China. Artillery has become the largest force in the field army of the Chinese armed forces. Chinese-Made Aerial Refuel Tankers Debut In Military Parade BEIJING (Oct. 1) XINHUA - Chinese-made aerial refuel tankers made their debut here this morning in the National Day military parade. The aerial refuel tankers, each with a long refueling pipe, and light fuel-receiving aircraft, howl past the Tian'anmen Square, in central Beijing. Gone are the days when the Chinese Air Force warplanes could not be refueled in the air. And what's of strategic importance is that the flying tankers have boosted the air force's long-range combatibility. Missiles Formations Highlight Military Parade BEIJING (Oct. 1) XINHUA - Following artillery formations come the square formations of missiles that belong to the three services of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA). The first square formation is of the surface-to-air missiles of the army. The missiles are carried by vehicles, which remarkably increase the maneuverability of surface-to-air missiles. The soldiers of the first formation are from an anti-aircraft brigade, the first anti-aircraft artillery troops of the Chinese army which shot down 890 U.S. aircraft during the Korean and Vietnamese wars. Now the soldiers have had their ack-acks replaced by sophisticated surface-to-air missiles. The surface-to-air missiles displayed today are China's advanced air defense weapons. The second square formation of missiles, which look slim and exquisite, are from the navy and normally carried by warships. But today they are by vehicles. Over the past five decades, the missile arms of the navy have developed quickly. Now the naval force is capable of attacking the enemy from the sea or from under the sea with conventional and strategic missiles. The last formation of missiles, each with a red head and green body, are surface-to-air ones operated by the air force. They are said to be one of the latest weapons for the Chinese troops and are advanced by world standards. In 1958, China established its first surface-to-air missile troops to defend its aerial territory, which have shown their strong capability in the past decades. So far, they have brought down 10 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft of the U.S. army and the Kuomintang troops from Taiwan. China's IFVs Make Debut in Military Parade BEIJING (Oct. 1) XINHUA - Chinese-made infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) make their first public appearance here this morning in the military parade marking the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The IFVs are rumbling past in two square formations -- one of tracked vehicles and the other of wheeled carriers. Eye-catching are the small red rockets installed atop the IFVs, which are said to be a new type of advanced rockets used by the Chinese armored troops. >From http://www.drudgereport.com/flash4.htm Jimmy Carter to Communist China: I'm very proud of your country WASHINGTON (Oct. 1) XINHUA - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has reiterated the importance of the one-China policy decided upon when Washington and Beijing established diplomatic relations 20 years ago, hoping the stance will be carried on. In a recent telephone interview with Xinhua, Carter said he noticed that after Lee Teng-hui announced the "state-to-state relations" with the Chinese mainland, the Clinton administration reaffirmed its policy "on the fact that there is only one China and Taiwan is a part of China." This is "the same policy I enunciated 20 years ago," which has since remained unchanged, added Carter, who saw the normalization of the U.S.-China relationship during his term. "I hope this (policy) will continue," he emphasized. In addition, Carter believed that the U.S. and other nations would do everything they can to protect the one-China principle and avoid any conflict in that region. The former president expressed the hope that Taiwan's leaders would "never contradict the basic promise on which the American and Chinese diplomatic relations are grounded." Carter also voiced his hope that China would soon be admitted into the World Trade Organization so that it could become "a much more active player" in the global economy. The former U.S. president said he is "optimistic" about the future U.S.-China relations, because the people and leaders of the two countries have come to see the greatest advantages if they communicate, understand and cooperate with each other. And the whole world would like to see the United States and China stand side by side for global economic progress, world peace and regional stability, he said. Carter, who first came to China as a submarine serviceman in the spring of 1949, said he found "remarkable changes in many ways " when visiting China again in 1981 at the invitation of the then Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping. Carter traveled to China for the second time in July 1997 for cooperation in improving elections in China's rural areas under the China Village Elections Program sponsored by the Carter Center. "We got excited to observe elections in many of the villages," he said. "In some cases, it's a very successful experiment, and in some cases there still needs some uniformity about the process," Carter commented. Carter, whose birthday happens to fall on October 1, the National Day of the People's Republic of China, said that the late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping once joked to him: "You are brought together with China because we have the same birthday." "I'm very proud of your country. I'm very proud to associate my own celebration with that of your country," Carter told Xinhua in the interview. ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
