Chinese press: US is signaling the approach of world war with an increase in its defense budget

Alarming signals are coming from the United States, according to observers for the Chinese edition of the Global Times.

The publication notes that a significant increase in military spending in the US budget is an indirect, and perhaps a direct sign of an impending world war.



High U.S. defense spending speaks of high risk of global war

writes the Global Times.

While the Chinese authorities are trying to adhere only to a defensive strategy, Washington is behaving very aggressively, the authors of the Chinese edition note. Here it must be added that the PRC is also not standing still and is developing and strengthening its armed forces as best it can. Another thing is that Beijing still cannot afford what the Americans can - in terms of military spending, although China also has them, not small, to put it mildly - more than $ 200 billion.

The United States defense budget, which President Biden approved this year, is four times that of the People's Republic of China, according to the Global Times. The authors of the publication believe that there are enough billionaires in the United States who benefit from the outbreak of a global conflict, since for them this is a good way to increase capital and write off debts.

Earlier, US Deputy Secretary of Defense Michael McChord said that the authorities will move through Congress a record defense budget for 2024. At the same time, he added that the funds will be used to replenish ammunition stocks, as well as assistance to Ukraine.

    While the Chinese authorities are trying to stick to only a defensive strategy,

    Therefore, with almost all neighbors there are territorial disputes and endless provocations and showdowns. With the Indians, even with losses on both sides in an endless stream of incidents. And that bombing communism is not yet being carried from aircraft carriers, this is only because these same AUGs are still in the process of being built and debugged.
    China currently has two aircraft carriers, Liaoning and Shandong. The fourth aircraft carrier, whose construction began in 2021, is likely to be nuclear-powered. In total, China plans to create four aircraft carrier strike groups by 2030.

    Merikatos increase every year. And now they have a golden time - they will dump all the rubbish into the unnecessary (including in nata) and trample orders into their military-industrial complex. At the same time they will sell to their allies.

    A new third world war between the USA and the PRC is absolutely inevitable because of their irresolvable imperialist contradictions.

    Like the first and second world wars, it also begins with local military crises.

        Isn't Pearl Harbor a US territory?
        And this attack was completely unprovoked by the states.
        Since 1937, the Japanese have been actively expanding the empire by military force. So they decided to knock the Americans out of the game in the Pacific.

          Territory is territory. Island in the Pacific Ocean. Only now the United States itself is more than 4 km away.

          The fact that the Japanese attacked first does not mean at all that the United States was not interested in this war and did not want it. How did the Americans get there? One imperialist predator has grappled with another imperialist predator.

    "While the Chinese authorities are trying to adhere only to a defensive strategy, Washington behaves very aggressively, the authors of the Chinese edition note."

    The best defense is always counterattack of some sort. The US has already made it very clear that China is the next war target for them, no matter what they say or do, simply for existing as a large, powerful and independent nation that constitutes an obstacle to American hegemony. They are not even hiding their intention of aggressive war against China. For China, Russia or any other nation targeted by the US regime, to just sit back and wait in passive defense mode while the US completes all the war preparations, optimally positions its forces, trains and arms all its proxies, uses information warfare to brainwash the world publics to hate them, etc., is a LOSING strategy, which may even turn out to be suicidal.

    The Chinese economy is already at least over two-thirds the size of the US economy, and the gap is narrowing every year. Why is China spending only one-fourth as much as the US on its military budget, in today's world where the US openly marks them as the next target?

    Oh, and the author Bekzhan Uzhakhov.
    there are enough billionaires in the United States who benefit from a world conflict breaking out, since for them this is a good way to increase capital and write off debts.

    When people write about the fact that the states (the state or businessmen) or someone else want to write off their debts with the help of the war, what do they think???
    How and in what war were accumulated debts written off?
    Maybe Boeing, Lockheed Martin or Rayton told creditors that because of the war, creditors should forgive the debt and creditors agreed?
    Maybe the USSR during the Afghan war told creditors: we have a war, write off debts. Or was the Russian Federation able to write off debts during the Chechen / Georgian war? Or did the US Treasury during Yugoslavia/Iraq/Afghanistan refuse to pay its debts because of the war?
    They write such nonsense.
    States that enter the war suffer enormous losses. Only the military-industrial complex and "various contractors" are in the black. But everyone else is in full swing. Look at the economy before and after the SVO.

    And yes, at the request of Bush, Putin wrote off part of the "Soviet debts for weapons" to Iraq after Iraq was driven into the Stone Age in 2003. Only to recover Iraq again scored loans. But this is an exception to the rule.

    And what a nuclear strike can be good for. Billionaires. Their skyscrapers will be demolished, their ranches will be bombarded with radioactive fallout. California will break away and slide into the ocean. Well, someone will survive and .Udet restore, maybe even lead a certain territory. But the quest is so-so.

      Nothing for the vast majority. But propagandists often write that with the help of war they write off debts.
      Although usually after the war, the participants in this very war are heavily in debt.
      They often rave about the idea that the war allows Americans to print bucks. That the Fed only prints trillions during the war??? When they want, I raise and release rates, turn on quantitative easing and turn off. It has nothing to do with war.
      Do not look for meaning in such slogans. This is from the old manuals.

    ¿Por qué China gasta solo una cuarta parte de lo que gasta EE. uu. en su presupuesto militar, en el mundo actual en el que EE. uu. los marca abiertamente como el próximo objetivo?



    China incrementará su gasto militar en 7% para el año 2023..
