WASHINGTON (Reuters) - China, boosting military spending and deploying growing numbers of ballistic missiles, is pursuing a strategy for a possible conflict in the Taiwan Strait aimed at bringing Taiwan to its knees before America has a chance to intervene, the Pentagon said on Wednesday.
The Defense Department issued its annual congressionally mandated report on Chinese military power, which emphasized a view that China is hard at work preparing for a potential war over Taiwan, regarded by Beijing as a renegade province requiring reunification.
China is "exploring coercive strategies" and embraces a doctrine of pre-emption emphasizing "surprise, deception and shock" in the opening phase of such a conflict, the report said.
China is making or buying weapons intended to impede the intervention of U.S. forces in a Taiwan conflict, the report added. It called these "assassin's mace" weapons systems.
Examples include the development of variants of a short-range ballistic missile that would increase its reach and enable it to hit Okinawa, where U.S. Marines are based. The report also noted that China has acquired from Russia two Sovremenny-class guided missile destroyers, with two more on the way, that could pose a threat to U.S. aircraft carriers.
"Preparing for a potential conflict in the Taiwan Strait is the primary driver for China's military modernization," the report said.
"While it professes a preference for resolving the Taiwan issue peacefully, Beijing is also seeking credible military options. Should China use force against Taiwan, its primary goal likely would be to compel a quick, negotiated solution on terms favorable to Beijing," the report added.
UNITED STATES AN ADVERSARY
The report also said China's military training exercises "increasingly focus on the United States as an adversary."
"While seeing opportunity and benefit in interactions with the United States -- primarily in terms of trade and technology -- Beijing apparently believes that the United States poses a significant long-term challenge," the Pentagon stated.
The report estimated that China has an annual military budget of $45 billion to $65 billion -- compared to the $20 billion figure announced by Beijing last year -- and projects that this budget "could increase in real terms three- to four-fold by 2020."
China possesses about 450 short-range ballistic missiles and is expected to add about 75 annually over the next few years, with their accuracy and lethality improving, it added. The Pentagon last year had estimated that China possessed 350 of these missiles and would be adding 50 per year.
All of these missiles are capable of being used against Taiwan and all are believed to be based in the Nanjing Military Region opposite Taiwan, the report said.
China also has added to its arsenal of long-range strike aircraft, the report said.
Pentagon officials express worry about a scenario in which China uses submarines to impose an economic blockade on Taiwan, unleashes short-range missiles, and employs electronic warfare techniques to disrupt Taiwanese command and control, all in a bid to impose its will quickly on Taiwan.
The report said China is pursuing robust research on laser weapons, and may have acquired high-energy laser equipment that could be used for ground-based anti-satellite weapons. China is improving its electronic warfare capabilities, which could be used to jam U.S. satellite-guided precision munitions, it added.
