Xinhua republished an article from Huanqiu on August 12, 2010, saying that the United States Navy is worried about the reported “Aircraft Carrier Killer,” the Dongfeng-21D missile, made by China.

“Actually, the U.S. aircraft carrier ‘cruising around’ China makes the Chinese angry, but cannot frighten the Chinese. On the contrary, it is the U.S. media that, from time to time, worries about China’s ‘Aircraft Carrier Killer.’"

“Recently, a former U.S. Navy Commander in Chief Calasca (ed. Note: spelling is based on the Chinese pronunciation) described a hypothetical scenario in his article. In 5 years, a Dongfeng-21D missile armed with a penetrating warhead sinks the USS George Washington aircraft carrier, which then results in a “new era international order – the United States replaced by a risen China.”

A Xinhua article proposes preemptive diplomacy to handle a dilemma posed by the U.S. presence in Asia.

According to the article, if China reacted to America’s attempts to restrain China, it would prove the accusation, that China will not rise peacefully, is true. If, on the other hand, China did nothing, its national interests would suffer and it would not do any good to promote a peaceful rise. Thus, the article recommends preemptive diplomacy: “As China has more and more external interests at heart, it should act to safeguard when needed and to be on the offensive when appropriate, as well as to provide more clarifications and explanations.”

Guanming Observer published a comment on U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and subsequent deployments in Asia. It predicts that the U.S. will likely withdraw from Iraq next year, thus ending the 10-year military adventure, which has gone nowhere.

Given the large contingent of 50, 000 military advisors, military instructors, security guards and other personnel, plus 94 military bases, the U.S. is not withdrawing. The article warns that a defense line has already been formed. The U.S. plans to monitor China from a South Korean island, resume cooperative activities with Indonesia Special Forces, support Vietnam in its dispute with China over territories and encourage India to restrain China’s naval expansion. “Thus, it is an illusion that the United States is backing away from Iraq. … Its next targets are China and Africa.”

According to a Huanqiu article, as long as the U.S. dollar remains the currency for debt settlement and reserve, it can easily mobilize resources throughout the world to launch and win any war.

The article said, "No country, regardless of its economic power, can mobilize global resources for its own use as the U.S. can. The U.S. dollar hegemony has in fact become the amulet protecting U.S. national interests and global military presence. … In other words, unless the dollar is beaten down, there is no country in the world that can compete with the U.S. in war. … Using war to get rid of many difficulties is still today’s top choice in the best interest of the U.S.”
