COMMENTARY | The current ruckus over satellite pictures of a Chinese aircraft carrier represents misdirected panic at the moment but it is a good wake up call for the American people. The aircraft carrier, photographed by DigitalGlobe, is a refurbished or completed carrier from Russia, according to a CBS News report.
There have been several reports surfacing of China's increased interest in building its military might. The Pentagon also has expressed concern about China's increased desire to increase the major weapons arsenal. A January article appearing on the Australian website The Age confirms the Chinese are hiding their military buildup.
It will take the Chinese decades to catch up to the U.S. military superiority but this is no reason for the U.S. to cut back. Under President Barack Obama, the weakened state of the U.S. military and the sad state of the economy is giving countries around the world an opportunity to take advantage of the U.S.
The next election will determine whether the U.S. can salvage its standing as a world power or whether they will be weak when it comes to dealings with China. Many of the Republican candidates for president have already expressed concern the U.S. rising debt to China is becoming a serious security risk.
The nation's debt cannot continue to rise. China is financing their growing military arsenal on the backs of workers in the U.S. If Congress does not step up to seriously curtail entitlements and out of control government spending the Chinese will own the U.S. financially and be a stronger world power the U.S. militarily.
The general presidential election in November will send the Chinese and the world a statement. If Obama wins the election it will be more of the same failed policies in regards to China. If the Republican candidate wins the election an immediate message will go out to our enemies overseas. It is time to get the United States' house in order and time to set the Chinese straight.
