The Chinese Ministry of Finance has recently announced that it would issue 1.55 trillion yuan in special bonds in order to buy $200 billion in foreign currency to fund China's new military oversea expenditure.
Following the disintegration of the former Soviet Union in 1991, the United States remained the only military superpower in the world without any rival.
But the developments which occurred in recent years show that the world do not recognize the US as the sole superpower in the globe as the West attempts to secure its interests by embarking on military adventurism.
Military intervention in Afghanistan and Iraq are the clear-cut examples that indicate the doctrine of Washington strategists are totally wrong in their long-term policies toward Asia and Middle East in particular.
The Vietnamization of war once again in both countries proved that gone are the days that the United States and its allies could occupy a country and dictate whatever they desire. The nations of the world by no means accept the military occupation of their country apart from the political systems ruling over their states.
Meanwhile, during the last few years, as the United States has been preoccupied with Iraq, Afghanistan and associated with flurry of other problems arising from terrorism, China by embarking on what some experts call it "soft power" diplomacy, has seized the opportunity to strengthen its military build-up.
During this period, in addition to former Soviet bloc countries, many other European states have joined NATO - the US ally in the Cold War era.
The eastward expansion of NATO forces has particularly worried Russia and China to the extent that they conducted joint military war games last month.
The closer cooperation of Central Asian countries in various areas including military ties is to the benefit of independent states as they can not tolerate the domination of West over their internal affairs any longer.
The only option left for the East is to increase its military might to confront the West in the case of any military confrontation.
At this juncture, Chinese military strategists have confirmed that they are not sitting idle to see the US strengthen its foothold in Asian states.
In fact, the current pace of arms race pressing ahead in eastern Asia, particularly in Japan and South Korea, is taking place following US exaggeration of depicting China as a giant military superpower threatening Asian states.
Against this backdrop, China repeatedly has foiled the US ploy by reaching peaceful agreements with Asian countries, especially the members of ASEAN in order to promote economic relations with this organization, stressing that Beijing is stepping up efforts to upgrade its economic cooperation not only with eastern Asian countries, but also with the whole world to remove the misunderstandings of some neighboring and Asian countries.
ASEAN is comprising Brunei, Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
"Having more China does not mean less US in southeast Asia," said US Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill. "There is plenty of room for all of us and we don't see China as a winner," he said.
Hill who was speaking with AFP intended to justify his country's dramatic diplomatic defeat in grappling with Chin's increasing constructing role in orchestrating southeast Asians policy of peace and prosperity in recent years.
But at the same time, the Chinese more than three million army is strongly opposed to any military provocation and threat from US, NATO or any other nation as China is powerfully emerging as a full-fledged superpower.

Stop copying Jewish, Muslims, and Christians by using God as an excuse to ignite wars. The three religious came from the same area Jeruselem, yet they have been killing each other for centuries. The above three religions and Communists are both extremist. They will kill each other until the end of the world.
Iraq war started in 2001, 25 years after Vietname war which 30 years after WWII. The next war between USA and China will be 2030. Enjoy while we can.
