China's military put its new guided missile destroyers on display last

week, disclosing its two new warships that are equipped with Aegis-type

battle management systems.

The two Luyang II guided missile destroyers are Beijing's first Aegis-type

ships. The ships are currently undergoing sea trials.

U.S. intelligence officials say China stole the technology for the Aegis

battle management system by setting up a front company in the United States

that became a subcontractor for the Aegis system manufacturer.



Both types of destroyers are equipped with Russian military equipment and

weapons, including missiles, as well as indigenous Chinese anti-ship
missiles.

The four warships are part of China's military buildup that U.S. officials

say is designed for more than just a Taiwan conflict. The Chinese are

building a deep-water navy able to project power, especially against the

United States.

Everthing else snipped.

Well,I am shocked and just totally taken by surprise with the news that
one nation would stoop so low as to engage in spying and dare to copy
another technology. I do believe that is a first, don't you think?

I do believe you are correct :-) One other thing: Have you ever heard of a
nation building a military force to protect their interests? The Chinese are
really exploring new territory here :-)

Yes, I think the Chinese are really overstepping by creating a modern
military force. Why would they have any interest in protecting a border
that stretches over 40,000 kilometers. :-)

China Debuts Aegis Destroyers

China's new DDG 170 guided missile destroyer features Aegis-type phased
array antennas and a ship-to-ship missile control Bandstand radome
dominating the bridge. The ship's numerous foreign weapons and new radomes
hint at the complexity of its electronic functions.

So what else is new? The Chinese are undisputed masters at copying
other's technology. Their ability to reverse-engineer just about anything
is world renowned. I will bet their got ahold of the AEGIS technology
at either a surplus sale or on e-bay. (Laughing all the way to the bank as
they did not have to do any of the R&D to get it either!)

I have no worries. It's made in China after all. It'll probably fall apart
in a year, just after the warranty runs out.
