China 2016 military budget to rise 7.6 percent - One America News Network

CPO Tim Dickey Look at the money that the USSR poured into their military during the Cold War. I think of China continues on this path there could be a similar time in our near future that we are in a Cold War II with China. Like the USSR they could be headed for the same collapse in government when the people of China who suffer from human rights aggression and those in the por parts of the country wanting to earn a living for themselves, and yes capitalism continues to eat at the very fiber of the communist party they may crumble like the USSR. Just an opinon and something to think about. I could be way off base too!

That is very interest CPO Tim Dickey that China has raised it 2016 military budget by 7.6 percent. I wonder how much of that raise is based upon its economy and how much of it based on potential future earnings based on petroleum and natural gas deposits in the South China sea which China is doing its best to control.

CPO Tim Dickey China's President has said there are three main goals for its military diplomacy — deterrence, agenda-setting, and reassurance — it’s the last that has proved least successful thus far. China’s military interactions with other countries tend to cause an even more skeptical analysis of China's military's intent to have peaceful interactions with the rest of the world.
