According to a report by the intern reporter of the World Wide Web, according to the news of Reuters, UK on July 29th, defense analysts said that US officials would postpone any large-scale new arms sales to Taiwan to at least 20 1 1 year. This is because China has increased the pressure on the United States, and the United States now gives priority to repairing Sino-US relations.
According to the report, analysts pointed out that except for some minor parts and low-end weapons upgrades, any new arms sales plan will have to wait at least until early next year, or even longer, so that the cross-strait military comparison will be more inclined to the mainland side, but at the same time it will also make China and the United States and these two superpowers have closer relations.
This year, China has taken tough words and actions to stop US arms sales to Taiwan. US President Barack Obama is considered to be more concerned about domestic issues and relations with China. China is currently the third largest economy in the world, and it also holds billions of dollars of US Treasury bonds.
Minnich, Asia editor-in-chief of American Defense News, said: "This is a combination boxing and a perfect storm. Obama has to deal with domestic issues, China's strength is growing, and cross-strait relations are picking up. " Some analysts believe that the United States will temporarily resume arms sales to Taiwan at the beginning of 20 1 1, because both China and the United States will be on vacation at that time, and bilateral contacts will generally decrease. But most experts predict that as long as cross-strait relations are harmonious, Obama will continue to postpone arms sales to Taiwan.
Wu Shuo, Executive Director of Taiwan Province Aikins Legal and Political Consulting Company: "In view of the improvement of cross-strait relations, the United States does not want to see any escalation of cross-strait military tensions, so I don't think there will be any arms sales on 20 1 1."
Niu Jun, a professor of international relations in Peking University, said: "China's words and deeds are tougher than in the past. This is not a new strategy, but the intensity is strengthening. "
American officials are tight-lipped about the timing of future arms sales, insisting that China will not be consulted on this. But analysts said that as long as there is any movement in China, the United States will listen carefully.
Han Rubo, president of the American-Taiwan Business Association, said: "In the final analysis, the reason is the pressure and threat from China."

On the 27th, in the Sea of Japan, the American C- 130 Hercules transport plane led the F/A- 18C Super Hornet fighter and the A/V-8B Harrier fighter to fly over the aircraft carrier George Washington.
According to Xinhua News Agency, South Korea and the United States ended a four-day joint military exercise in the eastern waters of South Korea (Sea of Japan) on the 28th. However, "as one of the measures to deal with the North Korean military", South Korea and the United States plan to hold a joint military exercise every month before the end of this year.
The exercise ended at 5 pm yesterday.
A senior official of the South Korean Army Joint Staff Headquarters said earlier that day: "The joint military exercise will end at 5 pm. After the exercise, the US troops participating in the exercise will leave the peninsula and go to their base. "
A joint military exercise called "Unyielding Will" began in the early hours of the 25th. On the same day, the USS George Washington, the carrier Dokdo of South Korea, the destroyers Wu Wen Dawang and Choe Yong of South Korea, and the submarines of South Korea and the United States left Busan Port and Zhenhai Port for the Sea of Japan east of South Korea. In addition to more than 20 ships, more than 200 aircraft including the latest American F-22 Raptor and South Korean F- 16, F- 15K participated in the exercise, and South Korea and the United States invested more than 8,000 troops.
Anti-submarine exercises are the most concerned.
It is reported that the military exercise includes cyber defense warfare, fuel supply and command and control, anti-submarine exercises, aerial refueling and live ammunition strikes. The exercise sea area approaches the "northern boundary line" of the eastern sea area. On the first day of the military exercise, Korean and American troops searched for enemy submarines in the eastern waters; on the second day, they found and attacked enemy submarines; on the third day, they conducted air-to-ground shooting and anti-submarine, air defense and anti-ship shooting exercises; and on the last day, they conducted maritime transportation and reverse osmosis exercises when land, sea and air were threatened.
This exercise is a prelude to a series of joint military exercises held by South Korea and the United States to "prevent the recurrence of events like the Cheonan". South Korean media quoted senior military officials as saying: "In addition to the routine joint military exercise of the Eight Freedom Guards scheduled for August 16 to 26, South Korea and the United States will also conduct joint military exercises in the western waters after mid-September. Until the end of the year, South Korea and the United States plan to conduct a joint military exercise every month. "
Military exercises in response to North Korea's provocation
After the South Korean joint investigation team announced on May 20 that the "Cheonan" warning ship was "sunk by a small North Korean submarine torpedo attack", the South Korean government announced on May 24 that it would hold a joint military exercise with the United States. After many postponements, South Korea and the United States finalized the final date of the military exercise on the 20th.
The South Korean side claimed that the military exercise was to "respond to North Korea's provocation", but the North Korean military and government have repeatedly stated that the United States and South Korea should immediately stop the exercise, and North Korea will respond to the US-South Korea military exercise with "strong nuclear deterrence". In response to US military exercises and new sanctions, North Korea is "ready for dialogue and war".

"Iraq should take legal action to recover this huge sum of money, which should be used to rebuild this poor country."
The report released by the US department in charge of auditing Iraq's post-war reconstruction on July 27th showed that the US Department of Defense could not tell the whereabouts of nearly $9 billion in reconstruction funds in Iraq.
This money is the Iraqi people's own money. It comes from Iraq's oil and gas export income, frozen Iraqi assets and the surplus left by the previous "oil for food" project. Outside the scope of the $53 billion Iraq Reconstruction Fund authorized by Congress, it has been entrusted to the US Department of Defense for management.
The United Nations Security Council established the Iraq Development Fund in 2003 to provide funds for post-war reconstruction in Iraq. After the establishment of the interim administration of the United States and Britain, about $20 billion was included in this fund.
According to the latest audit report, from 2004 to 2007, the United States allocated $965,438+billion from the Development Fund for Iraq, but it is impossible to tell the whereabouts of $8.7 billion, that is, more than 95%. Of this $8.7 billion, about $2.6 billion is unaccounted for.
Ms. Sabah, Chairman of the Integrity Committee of the Iraqi Parliament, said, "Iraq should take legal action to recover this huge sum of money, which should be used to rebuild this poor country." The report of the United States Special Oversight Committee, which is responsible for supervising the reconstruction of Iraq, accused the Ministry of National Defense of poor supervision and lax management.
6 billion pounds is missing, and the British Ministry of Defence's weapons and equipment worth 6 billion pounds are missing. Even officials of the Ministry of National Defense can't explain the specific whereabouts of these reserve resources, including standing supplies worth 5.5 billion pounds, weapons and equipment worth 752 million pounds, and 596 1 archer radio equipment worth 65.438+84 million pounds. Japan's new defense plan shifts the focus of national defense to the southwest.

1993, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with "Jieshan" engine was successfully tested at Jiupeng base of Taiwan military, and became the power source of Taiwan military cruise missiles; Prior to this, the mid-stream missile used the appearance design of remote-controlled target aircraft, with a range of hundreds of kilometers. It is a secret plan of the Taiwan military that has only been exposed at present. Image source: Taiwan Province United Daily News
BEIJING, July 27 (Xinhua) Han Guangwei, the host of Taiwan Province's "Xiong Feng Project" and an academician of Taiwan Province's "Academia Sinica" who is known as the "father of anti-ship missiles", recently published his memoirs, revealing two top secret plans of Taiwan Province's "Midstream" and "Jieshan". It is reported that this also confirmed that in the1980s, Taiwan Province Province had a small number of anti-ship missiles with a range exceeding100km.
According to Taiwan Province Province's United Daily News, Han Guangwei revealed in his book that 1978 Taiwan Province Province's "Double Ten" military parade exhibited unmanned anti-ship missiles with a range of 40 kilometers for the first time, and "Chinese Academy of Sciences" started the "Midcourse" plan with a range of 100 kilometers or more at the beginning of the following year; On February 27th, Jiang Jingguo announced the research and development, with the goal of completing it within three years.
The midstream missile adopts the appearance design of remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicle, which is equivalent to an "unmanned kamikaze special attack team" with a range of hundreds of kilometers. Because the distance has exceeded the horizon of the launcher, the terminal guidance must adopt active guidance and install a small radar on the warhead; The missile "ignores it after shooting" and finds its own target.
In the "Qingtian 5" exercise of 198 10, the midstream missile hit the target ship for the first time, but in the "Qingtian 7" exercise of the following September, the midstream missile missed the target many times. Taiwan's "Ministry of National Defense" ordered the suspension of deployment, and soon "Chief of Staff" Hao Baicun came to power and ordered the plan to be stopped.
However, R&D personnel decided to prepare for war in the laboratory and assembled the existing materials into ten missiles, which was accused by the Ministry of National Defense as "improper use of the remaining quantity". Fortunately, Huang Xiaozong, acting president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Liu Shumian, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and others insisted that in the case of "national defense emergency", missiles would definitely have a "surprise attack" effect on the enemy. It was not until 1992 Xiongfeng II missile came into service that the midstream missile was retired and disintegrated.
According to the report, the Mid-stream project, although aborted, still made great contributions to the Taiwan military, including the active homing radar later used for Xiong Feng -2 missile, the "Jieshan" project in cooperation with Jieshou No.2 Factory of Taiwan Province Air Force Aviation Development Center, and the research and development of small jet engines by using imported Israeli technology.
1993165438+1October 17, the self-made s engine was rolled off the assembly line at Taiwan's Jiupeng base. Han Guangwei pointed out that the relevant data was tested that day, so it only flew 200 kilometers. If it is fully loaded with fuel, the range will be several times that of the original. "A discerning person knows what he can do at a glance, and immediately becomes a national treasure from a hot potato."
It is understood that the improved S engine is the power source of the Taiwan military Xionger E cruise missile, with a range of 600 to 800 kilometers.
