Quietly advancing practical Japanese media said the Chinese arms market or Middle East arms | | |-oriented weapons _ news

"Globe and Roundup" against foreign media recently about "the rise of China as a major arms exporter" coverage, Japan November 14 issue of the journal Foreign Affairs scholars said, many observers of China's growing international arms trade in broad areas reported relatively calm reaction. The article said that through the analysis of China's arms trade details, it is clear that China did not use arms sales as a means of geopolitical competition.

According to documents released by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, over the past ten years, China is the fastest-growing major arms-exporting countries. Meanwhile, China's arms export is no longer limited to small arms, but the transition to heavier equipment, such as aircraft and ships.

Reported that the demand for reasonably priced medium-calibre weapons in some countries, there is no doubt China will offer a good choice, but monopolize the arms market for low-end, inexpensive are often difficult to achieve. The world, many companies have begun to take "practical spirit" towards the low-end market for arms, especially those with outstanding defence equipment demand and does not care if the weapons "grade on the high end," States.

In the aerospace sector, developed by Textron group "the Scorpion" light fighter, Sweden's Saab "Gripen" fighter warplanes, the KAI company FA-50 attacks, as well as the Brazil aviation industry company "Super Toucan" aircraft are consistent with this trend. If you can effectively address the reliability issues, and China's cooperation with Pakistan's production of "OWL Dragon" fighter like pushing into the market.

The article said that the long term, China may be in Egypt, and Iraq, and Syria, and Afghanistan and Libya and other countries to open "practical arms" market, it depends on how to influence policy development in these countries. In many of these countries in the past have invested enormous resources to build its military hardware, but in almost all the countries in the past few years have suffered huge military setbacks. There is no doubt China will be faced with tremendous pressure with Russia and Europe to compete in these areas.

Meanwhile, the United States is making every effort to pass in Iraq and training Afghan security forces to lock down a competitive advantage. However, until now, most of these countries are still facing serious security threats. But China's arms industry have the opportunity to update their weapons to win lucrative profits.

Finally pointed out that China and Russia, Europe and the United States military-industrial competition, not as a means of geopolitical competition in this industry.

日媒称中国悄然挺进实用军火市场 或着眼中东|军火|市场|武器_新闻资讯

　　【环球网综合报道】针对近期外媒关于“中国作为主要军火出口国悄然崛起”的报道，日本《外交学者》杂志11月14日刊文称，众多观察人士对于中国日益增长的国际军火贸易的大范围报道的反应较为平静。文章称，通过对中国军火贸易细节信息的分析，可以看出中国并没有把销售武器作为一种的地缘政治竞争的手段。

　　根据斯德哥尔摩国际和平研究所公布的文件，在过去十年里，中国是发展最快的主要武器出口国。同时，中国的武器出口已经不再局限于小型武器，而是向较重型的设备转型，如飞机和军舰。

　　报道称， 面对一些国家对于价格合理的中程武器的需求，无疑中国的设备提供了一项好的选择，但垄断低端、廉价的武器市场往往很难实现。世界上，许多公司已经开始以“实用精神”争取中低端武器市场，特别是针对那些有突出的防务设备需求且并不在意武器是否“高端、上档次”的国家。

　　在航空领域，由德事隆集团研发的“蝎子”轻型攻击机、瑞典的萨博“鹰狮”战机、KAI公司的FA-50攻击战斗机，以及巴西航空工业公司“超级巨嘴鸟”飞机都符合这一趋势。如果可以有效解决性能可靠性问题，中国与巴基斯坦合作生产的“枭龙”战斗机等类似装备将挺进这一市场。

　　文章称，长期来看，中国可能在埃及、伊拉克、叙利亚、阿富汗和利比亚等国打开“实用军火”市场，这取决于怎样影响这些国家的政策制定。上述国家中有不少国家在过去曾投入巨大的资源来打造自身的军事装备，但几乎所有国家在过去几年中均遭受巨大的军事挫折。毫无疑问，中国将面临着巨大的压力与俄罗斯和欧洲在这些领域展开竞争。

　　与此同时，美国正竭尽全力通过在伊拉克和阿富训练安全部队来锁定竞争优势。然而，直到现在，这些国家大多仍面临严峻的安全威胁。但中国的武器工业有机会通过更新这些国家的武器赢得丰厚利润。

　　文章最后指出，中国在与俄罗斯、欧洲和美国的军事工业竞争中，还没有将这一行业作为地缘政治竞争的手段。
