China seen seeking to outfit multiple warheads on missiles

BEIJING (AFP) Mar 07, 2003
Significant amounts of China's rising defense budget will be earmarked for developing its nuclear ballistic force as the North Korean issue simmers and the US threatens deployment of a missile defense shield, military analysts said Friday.
China Thursday announced a 9.6 percent increase in its 2003 defense expenditures to 185.3 billion yuan (22.37 billion US dollars) -- a sharp drop from last year's 17.6 percent and from 2001 when it went up 17.7 percent.

However, most experts watching China's military modernization believe actual military spending is two to three times higher than the stated budget.

"The targets of China's military growth has to be the nuclear issue," Arthur Ding, a People's Liberation Army expert at the Institute of International Relations at Taiwan's Chengchi University told AFP.

China is concerned that if North Korea succeeds in building a nuclear-tipped missile force, other regional powers, most notably Japan and even Taiwan, would strongly consider building their own nuclear capabilities.

A nuclear capable North Korea would also ensure the deployment of a proposed regional nuclear defense shield, jointly built by the US and Japan, and capable of shooting down incoming ballistic missiles, Ding said.

Such a system, if proven successful, would render China's small arsenal of nuclear weapons less effective as well.

"If the US builds a missile defense system, then China needs to do something to neutralize missile defense deployment," Ding said.

To that end China was developing a "multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle (MIRV)," or a missile capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads that could circumvent the missile shield, he said.

According to the Kanwa Information Center (KWIC), a Toronto-based think-tank that focuses on East Asian security issues, a top priority of the Chinese military is to outfit its DF-31 inter-continental ballistic missiles (ICBM) with MIRV technology.

"China has put forward again the strategy of giving priority to nuclear deterrence, and injecting priority investment on all weapon systems that may reach the US mainland targets," Kanwa said in a report to be released this month.

"The traditional belief that DF-31A (a upgraded version of the DF-31) will only be outfitted with a single warhead is no longer relevant.

"With upgraded material and reinforced rocket thrust, or by way of fitting even smaller nuclear warheads, DF-31A now has a longer effective range."

China has also completed a railroad-based mobile version of the DF-31, which if fired from northeast China over the North Pole could target either New York or Washington, the group said.

According to Kanwa, China devoted nearly 25 percent, or 1.7 billion dollars, of its 2002 officially stated arms purchase budget to the Second Artillery Corp, the missile wing of the People's Liberation Army.

With such funding the artillery corp could realistically fund the production of up to 50 DF-31s a year, far above US estimates of some 20 missiles a year.

"It seems certain that the number of DF-31 series missiles will continue to increase," it said.

军事评论家星期五说,由于日益升温的北韩问题和美国威胁部署导弹防御系统,中国大量提高其国防预算用于发展其核导弹力量。
呵呵!!兄弟动作好快啊!!欢迎欢迎!
china thursday announced a 9.6 percent increase in its 2003 defense expenditures to 185.3 billion yuan (22.37 billion us dollars) -- a sharp drop from last year's 17.6 percent and from 2001 when it went up 17.7 percent.
中国星期四宣布其2003年国防预算上升9。6%达到1853亿元(223。7亿美圆)——比去年17。6%和2001年的17。7显著下跌。
however, most experts watching china's military modernization believe actual military spending is two to three times higher than the stated budget
然而,大部分对关注中国军事现代化的专家相信真实的军费是国家预算公布的2-3倍!
"the targets of china's military growth has to be the nuclear issue," arthur ding, a people's liberation army expert at the institute of international relations at taiwan's chengchi university told afp.
ARTHUR DING,一个解放军专家(估计是解放军问题专家)在台湾CHENGCHI大学的国际关系协会告诉法新社:“中国军事发展的目标不得不是核问题。”
china is concerned that if north korea succeeds in building a nuclear-tipped missile force, other regional powers, most notably japan and even taiwan, would strongly consider building their own nuclear capabilities.
中国关注如果北韩成功的建立了核导弹力量,其他的地区强权(强国),最引人注意的日本甚至台湾将会积极考虑建立他们自己的核能力。
a nuclear capable north korea would also ensure the deployment of a proposed regional nuclear defense shield, jointly built by the us and japan, and capable of shooting down incoming ballistic missiles, ding said.
DING说:一个拥有核能力的北韩势必会为美日共同研制部署区域核盾牌(TMD区域弹道导弹防御系统)用于击落入侵的弹道导弹提供保证(依据)。
such a system, if proven successful, would render china's small arsenal of nuclear weapons less effective as well
如此一个系统(TMD),假如被证明有效,将会致使中国本就不大的核武库效率更低。
"if the us builds a missile defense system, then china needs to do something to neutralize missile defense deployment," ding said.

DING说:如果美国建立导弹防御系统,那么中国需要设法使其部署中立(无效,取消)
to that end china was developing a "multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle (mirv)," or a missile capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads that could circumvent the missile shield, he said.
他说:最终中国将发展“多弹头独立目标的再入器”(多弹头再入大气层散布器)或者带有多枚核弹头的导弹。这些将能够突破导弹防御系统。
according to the kanwa information center (kwic), a toronto-based think-tank that focuses on east asian security issues, a top priority of the chinese military is to outfit its df-31 inter-continental ballistic missiles (icbm) with mirv technology.
根据汉和信息中心(一个在加拿大多伦多长期聚焦东亚安全问题的智库),中国军队首要优先的是为DF31洲际弹道导弹配备多弹头再入大气层技术。
