"National Security Advisor Susan Rice is in China this week, discussing recent sticking-points in trans-Pacific relations with her counterparts in Beijing, chief among them a mid-August confrontation between a U.S. surveillance plane and a Chinese fighter jet over the South China Sea. There's a lot for U.S. and Chinese security officials to talk through, from problematic Chinese territorial claims to alleged state-backed hacking of American government computer systems. One item that could be on the menu for the talks has to do with a newly-confirmed Chinese missile technology that could target American assets. Back in March, Chinese officials confirmed the existence of the DF-26c, a road-mobile mid-range ballistic missile that can fire at targets of up to 3,500 kilometers with greater precision than any other comparable Chinese-made system. As an analysis on the military affairs website Strategy Page noted on September 8th, that puts U.S. bases in Guam within range of one of China's most advanced weapons…"

Aren't most US military electronic components made in China anyway? Could they somehow take over US missiles and use them against us? Or is that just my Skynet/Cyberdyne-paranoia talking? In any case, US military would need to find alternate sources of vital materials and supplies if things don't go well with China in the future: link Dan |

"How many Chinese bases are within range of advanced US systems……". ALL of them…………….. "Aren't most US military electronic components made in China anyway? Could they somehow take over US missiles and use them against us?". Possibly, especially if they have built-in, backdoor systems like we used to/still do(?) in our electronic components. Hopefully, someone tests for that, and/or makes sure that we only use US-sourced components for critical parts, but somehow I doubt that. Even counterfeit parts are a real problem now, since they are very hard to distinguish from "good" ones, until they fail. |

Just because they can reach Guam doesn't mean that they can actually hit Guam. |
