Zitat:China Steps Up Anti-Carrier Missile Tests
TOKYO - China is stepping up efforts to deploy a "carrier-killer" missile system, the commander of the U.S. Pacific Command has said in an interview with a Japanese newspaper, published Dec. 28.
"The anti-ship ballistic missile system in China has undergone extensive testing," Adm. Robert Willard told the Asahi Shimbun in Honolulu, according to a transcript of the interview on its website.
Willard said China appeared to have achieved "initial operational capability" but it would take "several more years" before fully deploying the system.
U.S. military analysts have warned China is developing a new version of its Dongfeng 21 missile that could pierce the defenses of even the most sturdy U.S. naval vessels and has a range far beyond Chinese waters.
Washington has expressed rising concern over China's military intentions after a string of double-digit increases in Chinese military spending and the rapid modernization of its armed forces.
In the interview, Willard also said China aims to become a global military power by extending its influence beyond its regional waters....
