China denies plans for war with Japan (Lol! Right!)
2004-11-09
China's foreign ministry rejected reports from Japan Tuesday saying China had prepared three separate plans for armed conflict with Japan. Spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue responded to a Japanese agency's question by saying, "We have already noted them and are severely concerned. As to what basis such reports are based on, I think you need to ask the Japanese side why they are sending these kind of signals," Zhang said "They are completely unfounded and completely unreasonable." Zhang said Chinese development and growth will not threaten any other country and rejects efforts to play up the "China Threat." She said she hopes "responsible authorities will discard their cold war mentality and take relevant measures to promote peace and development in the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large."

#4  OOhh, don't go there! A fully resolved Japan and a fully capable US as Ally, would again give the Chinese their third defeat in 100 years. The 'Chi-Coms' need to put that plan back on the bottom shelf and re cover it with dust!

#2  I am not surprised. The US has a plan for a war with Britian. Every country in the world has a war plan for every other country. The US has officers draw up plans just in case they are needed. The greener the officer, the friendlier country given. It allows the officer to get some experiance in the planning, and allows a plan to be in place if, allah forbid, we ever have to break it out. I bet the officers in charge of making a plan for Japan in China were in the top 1/3 of the officer pool, since there is a decent chance that if the balloon went up in the pacific, Japan would be a military player.
