Top Chinese general warns US over attack
China is prepared to use nuclear weapons against the US if it is attacked by Washington during a confrontation over Taiwan, a Chinese general said on Thursday.
If the Americans draw their missiles and position-guided ammunition on to the target zone on China's territory, I think we will have to respond with nuclear weapons, said General Zhu Chenghu.
Gen Zhu was speaking at a function for foreign journalists organised, in part, by the Chinese government. He added that China's definition of its territory included warships and aircraft.
If the Americans are determined to interfere [then] we will be determined to respond, said Gen Zhu, who is also a professor at China's National Defence University.
We . . . will prepare ourselves for the destruction of all of the cities east of Xian. Of course the Americans will have to be prepared that hundreds . . . of cities will be destroyed by the Chinese.
Gen Zhu is a self-acknowledged hawk who has warned that China could strike the US with long-range missiles. But his threat to use nuclear weapons in a conflict over Taiwan is the most specific by a senior Chinese official in nearly a decade.
However, some US-based China experts cautioned that Gen Zhu probably did not represent the mainstream People's Liberation Army view.
He is running way beyond his brief on what China might do in relation to the US if push comes to shove, said one expert with knowledge of Gen Zhu. Nobody who is cleared for information on Chinese war scenarios is going to talk like this, he added.
Gen Zhu's comments come as the Pentagon prepares to brief Congress next Monday on its annual report on the Chinese military, which is expected to take a harder line than previous years. They are also likely to fuel the mounting anti-China sentiment on Capitol Hill.
In recent months, a string of US officials, including Donald Rumsfeld, defence secretary, have raised concerns about China's military rise. The Pentagon on Thursday declined to comment on hypothetical scenarios.
Rick Fisher, a former senior US congressional official and an authority on the Chinese military, said the specific nature of the threat is a new addition to China's public discourse. China's official doctrine has called for no first use of nuclear weapons since its first atomic test in 1964. But Gen Zhu is not the first Chinese official to refer to the possibility of using such weapons first in a conflict over Taiwan.
Chas Freeman, a former US assistant secretary of defence, said in 1996 that a PLA official had told him China could respond in kind to a nuclear strike by the US in the event of a conflict with Taiwan. The official is believed to have been Xiong Guangkai, now the PLA's deputy chief of general staff.
Gen Zhu said his views did not represent official Chinese policy and he did not anticipate war with the US.

If China does nuke the US the world is in deep deep doodoo... Many people would be happy at first but when the US strikes back and then the couterstrike after counterstrike, God help us...
It will never ever happen...

I think we should have news section on the site, where people can post and comment on the daily hot news topics.
It was only a matter of time before something like this was going to come to a head between the US and the Chinese.
But nukes? Are they mad? That's World War 3 dude!
Upto a point having them has been a good thing, because nobody has had the balls to use them. The US has to learn to stop butting in and other countries have to learn to solve their issues diplomatically.

umm..... interesting debate.
Well.. .the americans can have a stockpile of nuclear arsenal but others can't
The americans can carry nuclear war heads on thier submarines and F-16 while th e rest of the world has to still go around in row boats
America is the world's holy dog whle the rest of the world are scoundrels
Double standards huh??
Let the chineese bloody the american arses with nuclear bombs. Americans need to view other sovereign states with respect
For too long the Amercans have treated the rest of the world with utter disdain. America has used a combination on ecomonic and military measures to bully other nations and take advantage. This is the time for others to stand up to the buly.
If its going to be the chinese.... so be it.

Lol its no coincedence that the ironic Cold War term Mutually Assured Destruction(referring to why nuclear weapons made a good deterrent) can be abbreviated to the acronym M.A.D. ...because that's exactly what it is...going nuclear is never directed at one country in particular, its a guarantor of worldwide destruction and the end of humanity, coz under the current climes with everyone and their uncle possessing nuclear weapons, all it takes is one strike to spark a chain reaction of attacks and counter attacks...its so stupid that people develop nuclear weapons as 'deterrents', they've reached such a saturation that eventually some fool is going to panic and trigger off nuclear holocaust...that said the US has not done enough to get rid of its stockpile and reassure others that we no longer live in the spectre of nuclear war...Its strange all the worries about nuclear weapons just seemed to dissipate once the Cold War ended, but IMHO people should still be plenty scared of the prospect of worldwide nuclear destruction
EMERGENCY INSTRUCTIONS IN CASE OF NUCLEAR ATTACK - cadmus - 07-19-2005
1. Do not panic. Remain seated at your desk.
2. Loosen your tie and any other constricting garments.
3. Bend forward.
4. Place your head between your legs as far as you can.
5. Kiss your ass good-bye.

once the chinese or muslims invade the US, and shut down Mcdonalds and BK, they won´t need nuclear weapons, the fat ass Americans will starve to death. What I am really afraid of is some fat fucked up American slob pushing the button by accident, reaching out for his 15th donut before 9 in the morning...scary shit.

" i mean they cant even make their copys right!!! in DVD for example for fcuks sake all they have to do is copy the damn thing word for word and still they f&%K up in spelling !!! or in chinese eclectronic items ... when did a chinese made stuff actually work properly !!!!"
Buy the original DVD, stop buying the copys then you will get the spelling right.
Look at the bottom of all the eletrical products at home and see how many of them are made in China. Chinese do make good quality stuff, it is all depends how much you are paying for your Chinese goods. If you buy a DVD player for 10 Dollar, I doubt it will work properly even tho it made in USA. A lot of big brands like Sony, Mitsubishi etc... are all made in China. I don't see any problem with my Sony Hi-Fi.
You get what you pay for!!
