[[ "Holy American Empire" #1002: Military Latin America - China: "Chinese intelligence role in region is eyed", BY PABLO BACHELET, pbachelet@herald.com; Miami Herald, Posted on Thu, Apr. 07, 2005: "Chinese military activity in Latin America is not a problem, according to U.S. officials, but they said that intelligence and communications roles are possible.": http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/11332057.htm "" WASHINGTON - U.S. officials said Wednesday there is no evidence that China is seeking to boost its military presence in Latin America, but for the first time warned about Chinese intentions to establish an intelligence and cyberwarfare beachhead in the region. Roger Noriega, assistant secretary of state for Latin America, and Rogelio Pardo-Maurer, the top Defense Department official for the Western Hemisphere, testified before a House panel as several legislators argued that China is trying to fill the void left by the lack of U.S. involvement in the region. "" "" Rogelio Pardo-Maurer, the top Defense Department official for the Western Hemisphere, testified "" "" ''However, we need to be alert to rapidly advancing Chinese capabilities, particularly in the fields of intelligence, communications and cyberwarfare, and their possible application in the region,'' he told the Western Hemisphere subcommittee of the House International Relations Committee. The Bush administration wants other nations in the hemisphere to ''take a close look at how such activities could possibly be used against them or the United States,'' he added. DIRECT WARNING This is the first time that a senior Pentagon official warned so directly about Chinese cyberwarfare capabilities in the region. Some U.S. officials have previously and privately expressed concern that Chinese personnel may be working at an electronic listening post in Bejucal, Cuba, believed to be also capable of carrying out cyberwarfare operations. Pardo-Maurer would not elaborate during the House panel's public hearing, and offered to brief members in a classified session. But a U.S. official who requested anonymity said the Bush administration was concerned that Latin American nations could wittingly or unwittingly end up hosting Chinese communications facilities that seek to harm the United States. ''We know that China . . . has made a top priority of this knowledge-based warfare,'' the official said, adding that as Latin American countries tighten links with China, some 'may be tempted to think that, `well, we can get away with letting China do these things here.' '' "" (2) US - Taiwan < China: "Chinese begin to worry U.S. militarily", by Jim Yardley and Thom Shanker; The New York Times, Friday, April 8, 2005; Thom Shanker reported from Washington: http://www.iht.com/bin/print_ipub.php?file=/articles/2005/04/07/news/china.html "" Officials say equation has shifted in event of a Taiwan crisis "" "" While the American military is consumed with wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, global terrorism, and the threat of nuclear proliferation in North Korea and Iran, China is presenting a new and strategically different security concern to America in the western Pacific, as well as to Japan and Taiwan, Pentagon and military officials say. China, these officials say, has smartly analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the American military and focused its growing defense spending on weapons systems that could exploit the perceived weaknesses in case the United States ever needs to respond to fighting in Taiwan.
