 (Hong Kong )  -   eMOTION! REPORTS.com sources are advising of China's intensified pursuit of near-term supersonic and long-term hypersonic/transatmospheric airliner platforms with military applications.

In addition to the goals and objectives for its burgeoning aerospace industry as outlined in the United States China Economic and Security Review Commission  (http://www.uscc.gov/) report "READY FOR TAKEOFF: CHINA'S ADVANCING AEROSPACE INDUSTRY" ( http://t.co/u3UEIuR ) China has not only closely followed Japan's JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) supersonic and hypersonic airliner development, but has been able to acquire through its intelligence services the most current research data associated with the initiative.  These data, in conjunction with open and closed source materials obtained through NASA, national labs, Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Airbus and multiple academic institutions with whom they have association, renders China poised to roll-out a 3/4 scale proof of aerodynamic design and propulsion systems test bed aircraft as early as 2013.

 "They will beat Japan to market", says one source, "and the Chinese military is seeing to it that they do.  Anyone still entertaining the unsupportable and foolish notion that the Chinese are merely copyists devoid of any internal innovation capability, need look no further than their expanding militarization of space program which will include a Shuttle fleet as NASA is ordered to retire its own;  their Aegis BMD System clone stolen through a front company registered as a Lockheed-Martin supplier; their J-20 Stealth fighter based on covertly acquired F-22/ F-35 technological/manufacturing process data and stealth technology acquired through components provided by Serbia in the aftermath of an F-117 shoot-down during the Kosovo conflict; and the now operational retrofitted Kuznetsov-class Carrier (Varyag) Shi Lang."

The source further noted that China's militarization of space and ultra-high performance commercial and military aircraft initiatives are designed to optimize, expand and accelerate its internal strategy of Gradual debilitation of a nation competitor's offensive/defensive capabilities inclusive of economic destabilization. 


"This is nothing new philosophically for China.  In fact, it is the epitomization of Sun-Tzu.  In my view, the greatest threat of the moment to US national security is not so much from without, but from within; a circumstance fostered and fomented by extra-national forces," he said.

In this vein, it is also worth noting that China's troubling and expanding one-on-one business relationships with states of the Union has the added benefit of giving it ease of access to proprietary and defense sensitive technologies, as noted in the industrial base scenario presented in the book Project on National Security Reform Vision Working Group Report and Scenarios (Edited by Dr. Sheila Ronis)

"In all elements of its national re-identification as a military and economic force to be reckoned with," the source continued, "China's understanding of systems thinking, from dominating the high ground of air and space to the fragmenting of governmental infrastructure within nations, would be appalling to [Dr. W. Edwards] Deming himself. "

Boeing Calls WTO Ruling a Landmark Decision and Sweeping Legal Victory

- Launch aid for every Airbus program deemed illegal and damaging

- 'Prohibited' A380 launch aid must be withdrawn 'without delay'

- Legal principle set: airplane programs must be funded on commercial terms

- Government funding of Airbus infrastructure and R&D programs also ruled illegal

- More information, including excerpts from the decision, is available at www.boeing.com/wto

CHICAGO, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA) today praised the World Trade Organization's final ruling that billions of dollars in European launch aid subsidies used by Airbus to develop its commercial airplanes are illegal and must end. The decision, which the WTO made public earlier today, also declares that a broad array of government funding for Airbus research and infrastructure development violated international trade agreements.

Publisher's note: As of today, both Boeing and Airbus have now submitted their Tanker bids to the US Department of Defense and non-conventional wisdom suggests that the WTO ruling will have an adverse effect on Airbus' chances for securing this contract -- as it must.  One can also logically conclude that if the acquisition party circumstances were reversed; i.e., Boeing attempting to gain ascendancy over Airbus in its own backyard and therefore placing the manufacturing bases -- and thousands of jobs -- of EU countries with Airbus operations at risk, there would be little chance of success. 7/9/10
