"I thought this was pretty interesting. I like the way that CSM articles give you excerpts from a range of local and international media. The sources they are quoting here are pretty influencial. 'Sipri' for example are the publishers of the world's most authoritative (open source) annual report on global military spending and activities. "

Thanks for the article. I think the growing abiity of China to project military power in it's sphere of influence something to watch very closely. I find it particularly interesting where U.S. experts are calling for cold-war style containment. I haven't heard much of this sort of rhetoric before - is it common in discussion about U.S.-Sino relations?
