Chinese Ramp Up
Reuters has reported the first pictures of the J-11 fighter on Woody Island at the end of March. They have been in and out but this one appears to be staying. Second, several British papers are reporting that 150,000 Chinese troops have been moved to the North Korea border to "support" the North in the event of an attack by U.S. military forces. There are conflicting stories on the accuracy of that statement so we may have to wait a bit for confirmation. Apparently, both DoD and China have denied any such movement. That would be enough people to get a satellite's attention unless they were spread out over the whole border. If they are there, they are keeping the North Koreans from coming into China in the event there is an attack of some sort. If they aren't, it just goes to show the ability of some press outlets to copy a story without checking on the facts of the case.
