CHINESE MILITARY IN FACE OF TWOFOLD HISTORICAL MISSION



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<Kanwa News May 20th 2003> Chinese military claims that it is right now in face of a twofold historical mission and thus needs a leaping-forward development. The PLA should complete the mission of transforming to mechanization and information (Xing Xi Hua) age simultaneously. In his recent remarks, Jiang Zemin reiterated on several occasions that the goal of the Chinese military forces is to complete the strategic task of building up information-oriented troops by the middle of this century. A source from the Chinese military also stresses that the priority task of this campaign is to accelerate the building up an automatic commanding system and to achieve integrated information support among the combat units. A comprehensive information protection and mobilization mechanism should be established as a consequence, and at the same time, information security should be taken as something pertaining to national strategic security.

Chinese military has already listed the information warfare ability as one of the most important standard in the measurement of the "soft combat strength" (Ruan Zhan Li). Such slogans as "information control"(Zhi Xing Xi Quan), "Information is combat strength!" (Xing Xi Jiu Shi Zhan Dou Li) have been put forward.

Multiple sources based in Beijing point out that during Jiang Zemin's tenure as the Chairman of the Central Military Commission, a new round of military system reform and disarmament will be put on the agenda as soon as the general goal is set. Jiang Zemin recently emphasized personally the necessity of a "military restructuring with Chinese characteristics".

Kanwa's analysis is that Chinese military has many internal problems. Generally speaking, it is still at the motorization stage, and only 15% of the Chinese forces has completed the process of "preliminary mechanization". They still rely on the old-fashioned weapon systems originating from those in 1960s. The proportion of the forces that have completed "advanced mechanization" may only amount to 5% of the total. These units have started to deploy the 1990s new weapon systems. China's "information-based" troops are only limited in the few experimental combat units, especially among those that have already undergone "advanced mechanization" stage.

What is "information-oriented" troop then? According to the definition of Chinese military, this refers to the automation and digitalization of the commanding system. It contains the concepts of "information defense" and "information offense". "Information offense" refers to combat actions like weakening and demolishing the enemy's capability of using information effectively, while "information defense" refers the opposite.

At the current stage, the Chinese military attaches great importance to the issue of information protection in this information warfare, stressing that this process should also include information restoration and information counterattack. <Kanwa Digest News>

CHINA IMPLEMENTING "STRATEGIC DISTINCTNESS" POLICY ON NORTH KOREA ISSUE



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<Kanwa News June 10th 2003> Hu Jintao and Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi's meeting in St. Petersburg demonstrated Hu's new diplomatic tactics. Kanwa is particularly concerned about Hu's Japan policy and believes it is of great significance whether he intends to adjust China's Japan policy or not. As far as China's diplomatic relations with the US, Russia and Europe are concerned, the fundamental framework established during Jiang Zemin administration will not have much room to be readjusted.

At the beginning of this year, diplomatic sources based in Tokyo told Kanwa that a new consideration was being formed in China's Japan policy. With "3 plus 1" (Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong) economic cooperation as the starting ground, China may very likely follow a new strategy in its Japan policy in which economic cooperation is separated from politic issue, giving more weight to the China-Japan relation in the country's overall diplomatic landscape.

This Hu Jintao- Koisumi summit meeting has the following characteristics. First, on North Korea issue, China seems to be implementing a "strategic distinctness" policy. For the first time in history, China's top-level leader expressed his understanding to the Japanese government's stance on the issue of Japanese kidnapped by North Korea. Kanwa thinks this in effect implies that China has given up the traditional "strategic implicitness", ant it clearly gives Pyongyang a signal that Beijing is making public its differences from the latter on certain issues.<Kanwa Digest News, For full story, see Kanwa June 10 Issue>

(1)CHINA REINFORCES SUBMARINE COMBAT CAPABILITY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
中国加强潜艇战能力
(2)<Kanwa News April 30, 2002> Reinforcing the combat capability of submarines is an important measure of the Chinese Navy in its attempt to implement the strategy of "non-symmetrical battle".
潜艇战能力的提升(进度)是衡量中国海军努力执行其“不对称”战略(能力)的重要尺度
(3)Consequently, the manufacture of submarines is on the top of the agenda for the navy during the "9th and 10th Five Year Plan" period.
所以，潜艇制造是海军第九和第十个五年计划的首要议程
(4)The No.701 Research Institute in Wuhan is now undertaking the second stage upgrading of 039 "Song" submarine so that it can further approach the standard of the Western vessels.
武汉第701研究所正在对039“宋”级潜艇进行二期改进以便其能更加接近西方船舶的标准
(5)The sail of the latest "Song" no longer has the streamlined design of the rear section and is changed to be connected to the body of the vessel directly.
最新的“宋”级潜艇，其后部已经不再是流线设计，而是直接与艇体相连。
(6)The overall shape of the submarine is more like that of French "AGOSTA".
整个外型很象法国的"AGOSTA"
(7)At the same time, the earlier design of the drainage system on "Song" is changed into linear drainage system.
同时，早期的排水系统已经更换成现在的线型排水系统。
(8)Obviously, a new hull-mounted sonar system and a commanding system have been added onto the vessel, very possibly, the domestically made towed sonar system.
显然，一套新的(hull-mounted？)声纳和新的指挥系统已经搬了上去，非常可能，国产的拖拽式哂纳。
(9)Sources from the Chinese Navy claimed they had a great hope in the prospect of the steadily upgraded "Song" submarines. <Kanwa Digest News>
来自中国海军的消息说，他们对“宋”的不懈升级寄予了很大希望。

胡**和日本首相 Koizumi(小泉？)在圣彼得堡的会面展示胡的新外交策略。汉和对胡的日本政策非常关心并相信他是否打算调整中国的对日政策有很大的意义。至于中国对的美国，俄罗斯和欧洲政策，江时期建立起来基础体系不会有太大的调整空间。

At the beginning of this year, diplomatic sources based in Tokyo told Kanwa that a new consideration was being formed in China's Japan policy.

今年年初，来自东京的外交消息告诉汉和，中国新的对日政策已经形成。(马立诚的GP文章？！译者)。以“3加1”(日本，韩国，中国，香港)经济合作为基础(看见过消息说这样的合作近期无法启动.译者)，中国很可能走一条新的对日外交路线，将经济协作和政治问题分开，更多的从国家整体的外交形势考虑中国和日本的关系

胡**与小泉的这次首脑会晤有以下几个特点：就北韩问题，中国似乎将执行一种“不同的战略”。中国高层在历史上第一次表示理解日本政府就北韩绑架日本人问题的立场。汉和认为这有效的暗示中国放弃了传统的“绝对政策”，明确的给平壤一个信号，北京在某些问题上公开反对后者(平壤)。
