China's increase in military spending for 2018, the biggest rise in three years,
was proportionate and low, and Beijing had not been goaded into an arms race
with the United States, state media said on Tuesday.
China on Monday unveiled an 8.1 percent rise in defense spending at the
opening of parliament, fuelling an ambitious military modernization program
and making its neighbors, particularly Japan and self-ruled Taiwan, nervous.
In an editorial, the official China Daily said the figure had prompted "finger-
pointing from the usual suspects".
"China's defense budget is neither the largest in size - it accounts for just one-
fourth of the military spending of the United States - nor does it have the fastest
growth rate," the English-language newspaper said.
"And if calculated in per capita terms, China's military lags well behind other
major countries."
The defense spending figure is closely watched worldwide for clues to China's
strategic intentions as it develops new military capabilities, including stealth
fighters, aircraft carriers and anti-satellite missiles.
Commander of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet Admiral Scott Swift described
China's lack of transparency as "troubling."
"There are a lot of questions on the minds of countries in the region and
extending beyond the region of what exactly does this mean. People shouldn’t
be left guessing as to exactly what the objective of these increases is," he said at
a press roundtable in Tokyo where he is meeting Japanese officials.
China insists its military spending is transparent and that it poses a threat to
nobody, simply needing to update old equipment and defend its legitimate
interests, even as it is increasingly assertive over disputes in the East and South
China Seas and on self-ruled Taiwan, which China claims.
In the East and South China Seas, China is simply trying to stand up for itself,
the China Daily said.
"The country has seen its maritime interests being increasingly infringed upon
in recent years, and thus seeking a stronger military is natural for it to safeguard
its interests and counter any threat that may materialize from the aggressive
posturing of others upset by its rise."
China has seen the United States as its biggest potential security threat,
alarming Beijing with freedom of navigation patrols in the South China Sea the
United States calling China a strategic competitor.
U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed the largest military budget since
2011, focused on beefing up the United States' nuclear defenses and countering
the growing strength of China and Russia.
Official Chinese defense spending is about one-quarter that of the United States,
though many foreign analysts and diplomats say China under-reports the figure.
Widely-read Chinese tabloid the Global Times said if China really wanted to
expand militarily, the defense budget should really be rising 20 to 30 percent.
"China has obviously not fallen into the mind-set of engaging in an arms race
with the U.S. Otherwise it could totally realize double-digit increases in its
defense expenditure," the paper said in its editorial.
U.S. provocations in the South China Sea, tension in the Taiwan Strait and the
United States, Japan, Australia and India forming alliances demand a rise in
spending, it added.
"But Beijing has stuck to its own template and was not disturbed by external
factors."
Still, China has made no secret of its broader military ambitions, with President
Xi Jinping promising last year to make China's armed forces world-class by the
middle of the century.
Xu Qiliang, a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, which runs
the armed forces and Xi heads, told military delegates to parliament that China
needed to "fully strengthen troop training and war preparedness and raise the
ability to win", state news agency Xinhua said late on Monday.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich commended young Americans for demanding that their
elected officials take decisive actions to reduce gun violence in the aftermath of
the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.
Kasich, who unsuccessfully campaigned for the 2016 Republican presidential
nomination, told CNN’s Jake Tapper Sunday morning that he thinks youths are
tired of hearing excuses for the gridlock in Washington on this issue.
“Young people — the millennials, the Gen Xers — are saying, ‘Look, we’ve
heard enough. Deliver something. Deliver something. We don’t want all these
excuses. Deliver something,’” he said on “State of the Union.”
Kasich, 65, a baby boomer, said younger generations have little patience when
someone — even Kasich himself — responds to their pleas for gun reform with
long-winded explanations about the complexities of American politics.
“Frankly, they put it to me every once in a while, and I try to explain to them
the politics of why it’s so difficult. They don’t want to hear it. And you know?
Good for them! Bully for them! I love them! I love the way that they are saying,
‘Let’s do the art of the impossible rather than the art of the possible.’”
According to Kasich, their idealism may actually succeed in ushering in new
gun measures to protect Americans.
“And the more they push, the better chance we have of getting something done
— to have greater gun safety and better protection for everybody in our
country,” he said.
Before moving on to another subject, Tapper, 48, offered a lighthearted
response: “I think on behalf of all members of Generation X, I thank you for
calling us young.”
Many survivors of the Parkland school shooting and other teenagers throughout
the country have taken an active role in the national debate about increased gun
control. These students actually belong to the generation that follows
millennials, called Generation Z or the Homeland Generation.
President Trump, a self-described strong believer in the Second Amendment,
surprised supporters Wednesday when he suggested guns should be taken away
from potentially violent people before going through a court. In other words,
confiscation first and due process second.
When asked about Trump’s statement, Kasich said, “That’s not the way we’re
going to do it,” adding that he doesn’t think “that’s where this would ultimately
pass.” He said a package will only come about if “very strongly pro-gun”
people who “think there ought to be limits” are involved in the process.
On Thursday, Kasich announced a series of proposals, agreed upon by an eight-
member bipartisan panel, that are intended to reduce gun violence in Ohio.
These include tightening background checks, stopping “strawman” weapon
purchases and allowing friends and family members to petition a court to
remove guns from anyone who may be a threat to him or herself or others.
Kasich is fairly moderate on gun control. His official website describes him as
“a pragmatic conservative” who supports the Second Amendment, and he has
signed several “gun-rights” bills but also recognizes the need for “common-
sense solutions” and “reasonable reforms” to prevent mass shootings.
The Northeast is bracing for its second winter storm in a week after one that hit
Friday caused the deaths of at least nine people and left hundreds of thousands
without power.
Other parts of the world are meanwhile coping with their own extreme weather,
such as Australia's record-breaking heat earlier this year and a sub-zero freeze in
the U.K.
The next winter blast in the Northeast U.S. is expected to strike Tuesday night
as a storm from the Midwest moves in, with a winter storm watch in place for
much of the Northeast from Pennsylvania to Maine.
In fact, 20 states from Montana to Maine are under winter storm alerts, which
means that 50 million Americans are in the path of heavy snow and strong
winds conditions today through Wednesday.
The storm developing in the Midwest is expected to meet a coastal low, which
will form off the Mid-Atlantic and move up the coast bringing snow and rain,
and may help form a nor'easter over the East Coast when they meet on
Wednesday.
A former Trump campaign aide spent much of the day promising to defy a
subpoena from special counsel Robert Mueller, even throwing down the
challenge to "arrest me," then backed off his defiance by saying he would
probably cooperate in the end.
In an interview Monday night with The Associated Press, Sam Nunberg said he
was angry over Mueller's request to have him appear in front of a grand jury and
turn over thousands of emails and other communications with other ex-officials,
among them his mentor Roger Stone. But he predicted that, in the end, he'd find
a way to comply.
"I'm going to end up cooperating with them," he said.
It was a reversal from his tone throughout the day, when he lashed out at Trump
and his campaign and threatened to defy Mueller in a series of interviews.
"Why do I have to do it?" Nunberg told CNN of the subpoena. "I'm not
cooperating," he said later as he challenged officials to charge him.
In the earlier interviews, Nunberg said he thought Mueller may already have
incriminating evidence on Trump directly, although he would not say what that
evidence might be.
"I think he may have done something during the election," Nunberg told
MSNBC of the president, "but I don't know that for sure." He later told CNN
that Mueller "thinks Trump is the Manchurian candidate." A reference drawn
from a Cold War novel and film, a "Manchurian candidate" is an American
brainwashed or otherwise compromised to work on behalf of an adversarial
government.
Shortly after Nunberg lobbed the first allegation, White House press secretary
Sarah Huckabee Sanders rebuffed him during the White House press briefing.
"I definitely think he doesn't know that for sure because he's incorrect. As we've
said many times before, there was no collusion with the Trump campaign,"
Sanders said. "He hasn't worked at the White House, so I certainly can't speak to
him or the lack of knowledge that he clearly has."
Nunberg also said he thinks former Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page, a
key figure in the Russia investigation, worked with the Kremlin. "I believe that
Carter Page was colluding with the Russians," Nunberg said on CNN. "That
Carter Page is a weird dude."
Page called Nunberg's accusations "laughable" in a comment to The Associated
Press.
The Justice Department and FBI obtained a secret warrant in October 2016 to
monitor Page's communications. His activities during the presidential campaign
that raised concerns included a July 2016 trip to Moscow.
In the interviews, Nunberg said he believes the president probably knew about
the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between his eldest son, top campaign staff
and a team of Russians, which Trump has denied. And he blamed Trump for the
investigation into Russia meddling, telling MSNBC that he was "responsible for
this investigation ... because he was so stupid."
A spokesman for the special counsel's office declined to comment.
During his afternoon tirades, Nunberg detailed his interview with Mueller's
investigators, mocking them for asking such questions as if he had heard
Russian being spoken in Trump Tower. He then said he would reject a sweeping
demand from Mueller for communications between him and top Trump
advisers.
"I think it would be funny if they arrested me," Nunberg said on MSNBC.
He later added on CNN: "I'm not going to the grand jury. I'm not going to spend
30 hours going over my emails. I'm not doing it."
Nunberg said he'd already blown a 3 p.m. Monday deadline to turn over the
requested communications. He said he'd traded numerous emails a day with
Stone and former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, and said spending
80 hours digging through his inbox to find them all was unreasonable.
But in his call with the AP, Nunberg said he might be more willing to comply if
Mueller's team limits the scope of its request.
"I'm happy if the scope changes and if they send me a subpoena that doesn't
include Carter Page," he said, insisting the two had never spoken.
He also said he believes the only reason he's being asked to testify before the
grand jury is to provide information that would be used against Stone, a
longtime Trump adviser, which he says he won't do.
Nunberg is the first witness in the ongoing federal Russia investigation to
openly promise to defy a subpoena. But he's not the first to challenge Mueller:
Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort filed a lawsuit in January
challenging Mueller's authority to indict him.
It's unclear how much Nunberg would know about the inner workings of the
Trump campaign or the White House. He never worked at the White House and
was jettisoned from the Trump campaign early on, in August 2015, after racist
social media postings surfaced. Trump filed a $10 million lawsuit against
Nunberg in July 2016, accusing him of violating a nondisclosure agreement, but
they settled the suit one month later.
John Dean, a White House counsel to President Richard Nixon during
Watergate, tweeted Monday that Nunberg can't flatly refuse to comply with a
grand jury subpoena.
"This is not Mr. Nunberg's decision, and he will be in criminal contempt for
refusing to show up. He can take the Fifth Amendment. But he can't tell the
grand Jury to get lost. He's going to lose this fight."
Nunberg appeared pleased by his performance, telling the AP that he was
"doing something I've never seen."
"They don't know what's going on," he said, speculating that Mueller would not
appreciate his comments and suggesting the authorities might send police to his
apartment.
His usual cockiness, however, did appear, at times, to ebb. At the end of an
interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, Nunberg asked whether the TV anchor
thought he should instead cooperate with Mueller.
"If it were me, I would," Tapper responded, telling Nunberg: "Sometimes life
and special prosecutors are not fair, I guess."
