US aircraft carriers will resolve tension in South China Sea, says Chinese admiral

The deputy head of a Chinese military academy told an audience in Shenzhen last month that tensions in the South China Sea could be resolved by sinking a pair of U.S. aircraft carriers, reports said.

"What the United States fears the most is taking casualties," said Rear Admiral Lou Yuan, deputy head of the Chinese Academy of Military Sciences, news.com.au reported. He said sinking one carrier would kill 5,000 and sinking two would double that number.

Brad Glosserman, a China expert and professor at Tokyo’s Tama University, said Lou’s comments reflect a growing belief in China that the United States has lost its stomach for war, according to a report from military.com.

The Chinese believe that "Americans have gone soft … [they] no longer have an appetite for sacrifice and at the first sign of genuine trouble they will cut and run," Glosserman said.

In his speech, Loui said there were "five cornerstones of the United States" open to exploitation: their military, their money, their talent, their voting system -- and their fear of adversaries, according to the news.com.au report.

Chinese Communist Propaganda. Americans want peace, not war. Americans want prosperity, not poverty. Americans want sovereign nation states, not One World Government. Americans want the world and other nations to live their own lives with respect for other countries with whom they want to do business and have normal mutually beneficial diplomatic relations. We're very simple folks. And we demonstrated that simplicity during WWII. If you're a young Chinese who doesn't remember WWII, get out some history books. Our enemies were saying the same things about US then, that you're saying now. And now, as then, your first military attack on the United States will be your last. So, it sounds to me like you're over-due for a visit to your grandparents to talk about the last world war.
