A US newspaper is reporting that China earlier this month carried out a series of âsimulatedâ attacks targeting Taiwan. âThe tests included multiple firings of short and medium-range ballistic missiles as well as land-attack cruise missiles,â the Washington Times reported. The report was written by national security journalist Bill Gertz, who has established a reputation for his intelligence community contacts. Gertz earlier broke news of China secretly testing Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs). Citing US officials, Gertz said Chinese military forces recently carried out a series of ballistic and cruise missile tests that âsimulated salvos of attacks on Taiwan.â According to Gertz, China has between 1,000 and 1,600 DF-16 medium-range and DF-11 and DF-15 short-range missiles within range of Taiwan and recently deployed a new DH-10 land-attack cruise missile. The latest missile tests may actually have taken place while US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was in Beijing on Sept. 4. http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2012/09/23/2003543441
Hillary not only knew about the exercise, she participated with the Chinese. Here is a pic of Hillary 'Fonda' Clinton after the drill. <img src="http://riverdaughter.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/hillary_tinfoil_hat1.jpg?w=257&h=300"> "I was this close to being hit by live rounds."
The article says ''may have'' but you have to distort everything, no ? Do you expect China to come to a standstill just because Secretary Clinton is visiting?
