Is China becoming a Threat to US?

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Defense Department is questioning how China intends to use its rapidly expanding military power, including what it calls some "disruptive military technologies."

A new Pentagon report also says Beijing continues to develop weapons that threaten Taiwan, even though tensions between the two have been reduced significantly.

The assessment comes in the latest in a series of annual assessments for Congress of China's military power.

The Associated Press obtained a summary of the report, due to be released later Wednesday.

It says China needs to be more open about its military modernization; otherwise it risks creating uncertainty and the potential for misunderstandings and miscalculations by other nations. - Fox News Story

This is especially scary since Obama is banking on China bankrolling the bailouts and budget.
