Recently, the United Kingdom the Jane's Defense Weekly has published the latest 2009 world military power rankings, China ranked fourth. Breakdown of the top five are the United States, France, Russia, China and the United Kingdom. As Western authority defence journal, "Jane 's" in the ranking also illustrates its reference index, mainly including military spending, military theory and technology of advanced quality, independent research and development capabilities as well as the country's economic base. Jane's law will China ranked fourth "Jane 's" for a description of the United States and United Kingdom are more simple. United States ranked first, mainly because of its military science and technology and military spending are ranked first in the world, is the world's military leader in the theory of change. In addition, the United States military power is now to outer space for development, and gradually approaching zero injuries. United Kingdom the incumbent power ranking fifth is that its current strength has been unable to replace the United States. But with its strong industrial base, advanced military technology and electronic technology, as well as the support of the United States, sufficient to maintain the status of world power in the United Kingdom. In contrast, the land area of France occupies the second position, mainly because it has advanced and complete military industrial system, weapon independently developed ability strongest in Europe. In the third position of Russia inherited the former Soviet Union's military strength, 70% of heavy industry, military and technological infrastructure. In addition, the former superpower has super weapons independently developed capabilities, its self-developed SS-27 "Topol" nuclear ICBM warheads in into the atmosphere, can make S-mobile, United States national missile defense system. However, "Jane's law says that Russia's electronics, light industry, processing, leading to their development of advanced weapons and huge, some advanced electronic components dependent on imports, the quality of life, weapons as good as the West. Turning to China, "Jane 's" took up the pen and ink. It believed that China was ranked fourth, because "the 1990s after the Gulf war, Chinese decision-makers see China's military and gaps, and gradually intensify military expenditure, introduced many advanced military technology, has made great achievements." Jane's law says that China's space technology and missile technology-leading European, army intensified information construction, nuclear missiles technology has a certain strength. But China's basic industries is weak, the processing technology has to be raised, these weaknesses directly affects the quality of Chinese weapons. In recent years Western media's military rank, the Chinese military seems to be no matter what angle are ranked in the top five in the world. In the face of these seemingly "force offering of" China's remarks that China should keep a clear mind. While many Western media: China becomes a superpower in the military will be China's newest power range, but these claims are exaggerated China's military forces, such as "China's missile can hit the United States homeland" and "China already has the capacity in 2010 to create a carrier wishing to challenge the status of the United States" on the sea, and so on. Some experts believe that these claims bluntly is creating "China threat" and other "rosy trap". In the United States, for example, to long-term involvement in the Taiwan Strait, the achievement of its use of Taiwan issues contain China's strategic aim it in spite of the Chinese Government's strong opposition, the sale to Taiwan again advanced weapons. In order to argue that it also repeatedly moved out to maintain the Taiwan military balance "deceiving the leader to be. In fact, the United States, Taiwan military balance or not is not a United States people worry about issues they care about is their hegemony can continue to exercise. Whereas the purpose of India and Japan more obvious, as Asian neighbors, they always will China as competitors, exaggerating the Chinese military is in order to increase its military spending to promote the national military development.
