China clearly frightened the US and ROK into holding the exercise in an area where North Korea wouldn't feel threatened by it. China stages major military exercise Wed Jul 28, 3:10 am ET BEIJING (AFP) – China has staged a large-scale military exercise on its east coast, state media reported, just as South Korea and the United States conduct their own major naval drill opposed by Beijing. Artillery troops of the Nanjing Military Region, responsible for defending the nation's eastern seaboard, conducted live ammunition exercises near the Yellow Sea, the official China News Service said. The exercises included long-range rocket fire drills, it said in a report late Tuesday. The primary aim was to conduct battlefield intelligence and reconnaissance exercises using equipment such as unmanned drone aircraft and radar, it said. The military also tested a new type of rocket-fired artillery during the exercise, other media reports said. China has expressed concern over the July 25-28 drill, which was initially supposed to be held in the Yellow Sea separating China and the Korean peninsula but was later relocated to the Sea of Japan following Beijing's protests. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100728/wl_asia_afp/chinamilitaryexerciseskoreaus_20100728071054 Did the cooler heads [China's] prevent a new war?...
