美联社文章：
中国宣布其国防预算将以两位数增长后，美国太平洋司令称，将密切关注亚洲强权国家中国的这一行为背后的意图。一些国会议员向海军上将塞缪尔·洛克莱尔（Adm. Samuel Locklear）发问并质疑，美国是否有能力与正崛起中国竞争，美国是否会维持以亚洲“支点”的战略。

中国于周三宣布，其国防军费将会有12.2%增长，达到1320亿美元。然而，这一数字明显被低估了，但是无论如何中国的国防经费仍然远不及美国去年的6000亿美元。

洛克莱尔上将对中国的军费增长表示密切关注，并称12.2个百分点的增长还仅仅只是“我们能看到的部分”。
 
他告诉众议院军事委员会，中美军事合作正在井井有条地缓慢发展中，并且美国希望看到中国能为地区安全做出积极贡献。但是中国最近的行为与我们的期望不相符合。

洛克莱尔上将称：“令人失望的是，中国在他们自己后院与我国各盟友发生着种种矛盾”，并列举了中国在南海的“模糊”主权主张，建立囊括主权争议岛屿的东海防空识别区的例子。洛克莱尔上将表示：“这样令我们震惊的行为，将使得地区安全环境变得复杂化”。

他称：“对于中国的军事力量是否将会崛起的问题，我想答案明显是肯定的。但真正的问题是：中国军力的增长会不会是透明的？中国会将自己的军力用在何处？中国军队会与地区各邻邦，展开有利于地区安全环境的合作吗？

美国国务院发言人柏莎琪向媒体表示，美国急切期望中国能增加透明度，希望中国能和平地使用其武力，希望中国能够为亚太的地区和平稳定做出贡献。

美国参众两院于周三，向美国军方首脑，就2015年预算问题举行了问答会议，以应对当前中国与其邻国之间的紧张关系和俄罗斯对乌克兰的干预。

奥巴马当局正试图建立一种更加现代化的小规模军队，但是某些国会议员担心，这将减弱美国应对日益不稳定的欧亚局势的能力。
 
共和党参议员麦凯恩将矛头指向当局的做法，认为美国政府这次的国防预算“受到了前所未有的限制”。据称，他引用了一位高级国防官员的言论，指出预算的缩减，将导致无法建立亚太“支点”战略的后果。

洛克莱尔上将承认，美国紧缩的军费预算要维持必要的海军存在，不是见容易的事。他同时也预测，中国不会再短时间内威胁到美国全球的军事霸权。他称自己最担心的是，中国将会拥有阻挠美国保护其地区盟友的能力。

网友Peter：俄罗斯入侵乌克兰，以试探美国以及世界的底线。俄罗斯与叙利亚、伊拉克做朋友。俄罗斯将自己的舰队部署到北大西洋。朝鲜发射洲际导弹与飞毛腿导弹，并进行核试验。中国声称对南中国海拥有主权，而且正在采取行动。面对中国和俄罗斯势力的持续扩张，世界各国还会忍受多久？更不用提到，中俄的贸易方式会使得美元崩溃。美国人民还没有意识到，就在一二十年后，中国与俄罗斯就将接管所有的一切，接管好莱坞、迪士尼、底特律（已经被搞残废了）、NBA、NFL以及其他一些我们一直都理所应当拥有的东西。当我们的经济崩溃时，这些东西都将会从我们的下一代人手中被夺走。我们已经变得懒惰，变得过度依赖政府、依赖别人。这都将使我们以后将生活在贫穷中。当全美一半的双收入家庭（夫妻都工作的）变成零收入家庭时，你们将会连水电费都无法承担，你们拿什么东西来取暖？你们拿怎样才能找到饮用水？拿什么果腹？去享受拖车旅馆(指代生活贫穷)吗？而那些有钱人总会有自己的办法。我们难道只是坐在电视机前，等待着这样的灾难降临吗？我们必须主动的行动起来，拒绝一味享乐，拒绝政府带我们走向沉沦。

网友Steve Irberg ：这算哪门子质疑？只有一叶障目的SB才看不出来他们在做什么。中国想通过军备竞赛，拖垮美国经济。这和我们拖垮苏联是一样的。本来我们的军费就够高了，到最近几年才有所下降。所以闲钱很多的中国，就少量地增加了自己的军备预算，期望美国也会增加自己那庞大的国防军费，期望美国继续花光明天的钱。

网友JIMMY：中国的军费已经持续增长很多年了。俄罗斯正在争权夺利，中国的军费正在翻倍。而我们愚蠢的总统正在通过削减军费，从内部瓦解我们的军事力量。美国还没有哪位总统像奥巴马一样，将我们的国家搞得如此虚弱。

我们在全球的军事优势还是很明显的，但是我们却没有从中获得任何好处。正因为这庞大的军事力量引来了人们的各种非议。（楼主：这个网友反对麦凯恩，并希望能削减军费）
麦凯恩啊，你确实是个被越南囚禁过的英雄，但是现在事时候该收敛一下了。因为我们不再有那么多的资源，去充当世界的警察。

来自中国向美国的质问：
-你干涉伊拉克的目的是什么？
-你惹怒伊朗的目的是什么？
-你在乌克兰危机背后的意图是什么？（朝鲜只在你美国与南韩联合军演时，才发生飞毛腿导弹。如果你不去东亚，恐怖的朝鲜就根本不存在。）你来到了东亚，干涉了东亚国家，通过联合国所谓的各种活动惹怒了这些国家。这些东亚国家当然会反美，你现在却问他们的目的是什么。这就是你的计划。
 
-中国刚一宣布防空识别区，你就派出你的B52轰炸机。你这是什么意思？
-你鼓励日本国有化争议岛屿尖阁群岛/钓鱼岛（这些岛屿的主权是有争议的，更不用说历史事实和条约），你这是什么意思？你却反复提及中国的防空辨识区，这识别区其实是合法的。你自己不早就设立了防空识别区。
-你建立棱镜计划和国安局的目的有是什么？
让我们终结一下，你的目的肯定不是世界和平。你的终极目的是按照西方的意愿，随便干涉世界。为了做到这一点，你需要到处惹麻烦，并隐藏自己的真实意图。

40年前的联合国大会上，推动中国改革开放的领导人邓小平在1974年4月的联合国大会上表示：
“中国现在不是，将来也不做超级大国。如果中国有朝一日变了颜色，变成一个超级大国，也在世界上称王称霸，到处欺侮人家、侵略人家、剥削人家，那么世界人民就应当揭露它、反对它，并且同中国人民一道打倒它！”


消息及评论原文：
US questions China intentions, amid budget hike
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Pacific commander voiced concern Wednesday over China's intentions as the Asian power announced its latest double-digit hike in defense spending.
Several lawmakers questioned Adm. Samuel Locklear about U.S. ability to contend with a rising China and sustain a "pivot" to Asia amid growing pressure on the U.S. defense budget.
 
China announced Wednesday a 12.2 percent increase in military spending to $132 billion — likely a considerable underestimate of actual spending, but still far less than the $600.4 billion the U.S. spent last year.
Locklear noted China's spending increase, and added that the 12.2 percent rise is "just what we can see."
He told the House Armed Services Committee that there has been a slow and steady growth in the U.S.-China military relationship, and that the U.S. wants China to provide a positive contribution to regional security. But he said China's recent activities were calling into question how it will proceed.
"What's frustrating is what's happening in their own backyard as it relates to their relations with some of our allies," Locklear said, citing China's "ambiguous" territorial claims in the South China Sea and its declaration of an air defense information zone over the East China Sea, in an encompassing airspace above Japanese-controlled islands also claimed by China. "This all complicates the security environment and makes us wonder," Locklear said.
"Whether the (Chinese) military will rise, I think that's a given. It will. The question is: is it transparent, what is it used for, is it cooperating in the larger security environment with neighbors?" he said.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki also told reporters that the U.S. was urging greater transparency from China, and encouraging it to use its military capabilities for peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific.

House and Senate committees on Wednesday were quizzing U.S. military commanders about budget requests for 2015, against the backdrop of tensions between China and its neighbors in East and Southeast Asia, and the Russia's intervention in Ukraine.
The Obama administration is looking to develop a smaller, more modern military force, but some in Congress worry that could weaken U.S. capabilities in a period of growing uncertainty in Europe and Asia.
Republican Sen. John McCain took aim at the administration for presenting a budget "that constrains us in a way which is unprecedented since previous times." He cited remarks reportedly made by a senior defense official Tuesday that budget cuts mean the "pivot" can't happen — comments the administration quickly rolled back.
While Locklear acknowledged the difficulty of maintaining the naval presence the U.S. needs, he predicted China would not be able to threaten American global military pre-eminence for a long time. He said he was most concerned by China's introduction of military capabilities apparently aimed at thwarting the U.S. ability to defend its allies in the region.

So, Russia is putting out feelers in Ukraine to test the waters on how far they can be aggressive, to test the rest of the worlds response. Russia befriends Syria and Iraq. Russia moves navy into the north atlantic. North Korea is firing ICBM and SCUD missiles and testing nukes. China has claimed rights and is moving into the South China Sea. How far does the world let China and Russia move outward, not to mention the way they are trading with other than the dollar before the American PEOPLE realize our government knows that within this decade or so Russia, China and others will take over as the world superpower and all of hollywood, disney, detroit (which is already shot die to leases, but let's not go there yet), NBA, NFL and all things we have come to take for granted will be taken from us and our children as our economy collapses - We will be the people living in poverty as we have become lazy and too dependent on the government and others. When you two income homes are zero income homes, and that is 50% of this country how will you pay to heat your home when the power is shut off? Where will you find water when it doesn't come out of your faucet? Food? Only so many people can fit in Tanya Harding's trailer park. Others are positioning themselves financially and militarily for this eventuality and we all just watch tv and wait for it to happen. WE NEED TO be proactive as a country and stop letting our government lead us down the primrose path.

The Chinese already said their intention is to defend itself from the rogue nations.
3.Steve Irberg
What question? Only an idiot doesn't see what they are doing. China is trying to get the US to bankrupt itself with excessive military spending...like we did to the Soviet Union. We have been well on the way to doing that for quite some time, but we recently reduced our military budget. So China, who has plenty of surplus cash, and spends a fraction of what we do on their military, increased their budget so we will fall back in line - spending money we don't have.
4.JIMMY ：


China has been increasing their military for years. Russia is on a power grab and China doubles their military spending. Our brilliant President guts our military and has cut nothing but military spending. No other president would have us so weak at a time like this.
5.James：
Is there any place in the world that John "wayne" McCain doesn't want go to and mix it up militarily? Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Ukraine, China, North Korea. Hey John how about Detroit and South Central LA?
Apparently we still have this huge military force and we're not taking advantage of it by smacking everyone that looks sideways at the US.
Johnny yes you were a Viet Nam prisoner and hero, but it's time to start winding down. We just don't have the resources to be the strict disciplinarian of the world.

Chinese intentions are to crush, humiliate and bring every Asian nation to their knees. Every one.
7.The：
China questions to US,
- What is your intention of meddling in Iraq?
- What is your intention of messing in Iran?
- What is your intention, albeit transparent, in Ukraine crisis?


- What is your intention of doing joint military exercise in S.Korea? (N.Korea launches SCUD only when you exercise jointly with S.Korea. If you don't come to East Asia, Those freaking Korea are just fine.) You come, irritate the nations, then aggravate by using un-called for activities, when others bark at you, you ask WHAT Is their intention. That's your agenda.
- What is your intention of sending B-52 bombers when China announced its own ADIZ? (China never sent their bombers, let alone fighters jet into your ADIZ? tell us about "Transparent")
- What is your intention of dangling your mouthpiece, Japan in East Asia? You huff and puff Japan, Korea piracy but you insistently and consistently howling piracy from China, let alone all other South East Asians.
- What is your intention of huffing and puffing Japan controversial nationalization of Diaoyu/Senkaku islands from privatization (Which is still controversial, let alone historical facts, Treaty craps), but you incessantly brings up China announcement of ADIZ which is by all means legitimate and you yourself set your own ADIZ long time ago. What is your genuine intention here?
- What is your intention of setting up PRISM, NSA?
Let's just conclude here, your intention is not for World Peace, your ultimate goal is to INFLUENCE the world from the Western point of view. To maintain that, you need to constantly bring up any controversial issues while hiding your own agenda.

40 years ago at the UN General Assembly.
From late Paramount Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping (鄧小平), who launched China’s economic reforms, gave a speech to the UN General Assembly on April 10, 1974:
“CHINA is not a superpower, nor will she ever seek to be ONE... If one day China should change her COLOR and turn into a SUPERPOWER, if SHE TOO should PLAY the TYRANT IN THE WORLD, and everywhere subject others to her BULLYING, AGGRESSION and EXPLOITATION, the PEOPLE OF THE WORLD should IDENTIFY HER as SOCIAL-IMPERIALIST, EXPOSE it, OPPOSE it and WORK TOGETHER WITH THE CHINESE PEOPLE TO OVERTHROW IT”
