not otherwise covered by the United States system for review at our 2009

makes the following findings:</text>
<paragraph id="ID81f831da073f4925a24544b09c6ea"><enum>(1)</enum><text>According to the
Department of Defense’s (DoD) 2009 Annual Report on Military Power of the
People’s Republic of China, the military balance in the Taiwan Strait has been
shifting in China’s favor since 2000, marked by the sustained deployment of
advanced military equipment to the Chinese military regions opposite
Taiwan.</text>
</paragraph><paragraph id="IDd8d2833d9d2b436a95e1c8b575c9d"><enum>(2)</enum><text>Although the DoD's
2002 Report concluded that Taiwan <quote>has enjoyed dominance of the airspace
over the Taiwan Strait for many years,</quote> the DoD’s 2009 Report states
this conclusion no longer holds true.</text>
</paragraph><paragraph id="IDd8447d489e2347d39deb10fb650eb"><enum>(3)</enum><text>China has based 490
combat aircraft (330 fighters and 160 bombers) within unrefueled operational
range of Taiwan, and has the airfield capacity to expand that number by
hundreds. In contrast, Taiwan has 390 combat aircraft (all of which are
fighters).</text>
</paragraph><paragraph id="IDb9f8334d9c1b6bde399441c70b852"><enum>(4)</enum><text>Also according to
the DoD’s 2009 Report, China has continued its build-up of conventional
ballistic missiles since 2000, <quote>building a nascent capacity for
conventional short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) strikes against Taiwan into
what has become one of China’s primary instruments of coercion.</quote> At this
time, China has expanded its SRBM force opposite Taiwan to seven brigades with
a total of 1,050 through 1,150 missiles, and is augmenting these forces with
conventional medium-range ballistic missiles systems and at least 2 land attack
cruise missile variants capable of ground or air launch. Advanced fighters and
bombers, combined with enhanced training for nighttime and overwater flights,
provide China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) with additional capabilities for
regional strike or maritime interdiction operations.</text>
</paragraph><paragraph id="ID002b995dde2141b0ade253ca250fe"><enum>(5)</enum><text>Furthermore, the
Report maintains, <quote>the security situation in the Taiwan Strait is largely
a function of dynamic interactions among Mainland China, Taiwan, and the United
States. The PLA has developed and deployed military capability to coerce Taiwan
or attempt an invasion if necessary. PLA improvements pose new challenges to
Taiwan’s security, which has historically been based upon the PLA’s inability
to project power across the 100 nautical-mile Taiwan Strait, natural geographic
advantages of island defense, Taiwan’s armed forces’ technological superiority,
and the possibility of U.S. intervention</quote>.</text>
