A top Republican leader has appealed to the Obama Administration to initiate steps to contain the increasing military capabilities of China.
"We must invest not only in the delivery systems and platforms that will preserve our nuclear delivery capability, such as the next generation bomber, nuclear submarines and a new Intercontinental ballistic missile, but also in the strike aircraft and naval forces required to control the Pacific Rim as economic growth and the military capabilities of China increase," Mitch McConnell, the Senate Minority Leader, said.
"The war on terror has required an expansion of our nation's ground forces, the Marine Corps, the Army, and our Special Operations Forces, and our near-term readiness.
"As we continue the effort to dismantle, defeat and disrupt al-Qaeda, we must also plan for the threats that our country will face in the coming decades," McConnell said in the Senate floor while announcing his opposition to the New START treaty.
