ANinternal army report has given a more threatening assessment of China'smilitary expansion than was publicly stated in the defence white paper,warning bluntly that it could "destabilise" the region.
Thereport, obtained by The Weekend Australian, also makes more hawkishcomments about India's military ambitions than Defence has admitted.
A draft copy of an army report, Army's Future Land OperatingConcept, due to be finalised in September, warns about China andIndia's military ambitions.
"China and India's growing military ambitions, matched by growingmilitary spending, have the potential to destabilise the region withtheir military expansion," the report states.
The defence white paper released last Saturday warned only thatChina's military modernisation might "give its neighbours cause forconcern if not carefully explained".
The different wording in the documents suggests the white paper wastoned down for public release to avoid causing offence in Beijing andNew Delhi.
The army document is more pessimistic than the white paper aboutfuture regional stability, warning of a "real potential" for warbetween major powers.
"China, and potentially India ... have the potential to challenge US(strategic) dominance within their regions," the report states. "Ofparticular concern is an increased likelihood for dispute escalation asa result of changes to the perceived balance of power with the realpotential for a return to major combat operations involving states. |
