A Chinese Admiral said recently that his country's military is capable of sinking American aircraft carriers in the East and South China Seas.
Rear Admiral Luo Yuan's comments were made in a speech on Sino-U.S. relations which he gave on December 20, according to News Corp Australia Network.
Luo said that sinking American ships would resolve the ongoing territorial disputes in that part of the world.
'What the United States fears the most is taking casualties,' Admiral Luo said.
He estimated that sinking an American carrier would result in the deaths of 5,000 servicemen and women. Sinking two such ships would double the casualty toll to 10,000.
'We'll see how frightened America is,' he said.
Luo, 67, holds the rank of rear admiral in the People's Liberation Army Navy, though he is acting in an academic capacity rather than as an active service member.
Rear Admiral Luo Yuan's (seen above) comments were made in a speech on Sino-U.S. relations which he gave on December 20
He is the deputy head of the Chinese Academy of Military Sciences.
An author, social commentator, and military theorist, Luo has been known to express hawkish, anti-American views in the past.
In his remarks to the 2018 Military Industry List summit in Shenzhen. Luo boasted of China's weapons capability, which includes anti-ship ballistic and cruise missiles that could hit American carriers.
Luo said that the U.S. was vulnerable and that China should 'use its strength to attack the enemy's shortcomings.'
'Attack wherever the enemy is afraid of being hit,' he said.
'Wherever the enemy is weak…'
China and the U.S. have been at odds for years on a number of geopolitical issues, including Beijing's pressing of territorial claims in the South and East China Seas.
In the South China Sea, the United States has criticized China's construction of islands on tiny reefs and shoals and its installation of military facilities on them, including air strips and docks.
China claims 'irrefutable' sovereignty over most of the South China Sea and the islands in it, and accuses the United States of raising military tension with its navy presence there.
Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam all claim parts of the waterway, through which about $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes each year.
Taiwan also claims the waters.
Taiwan is another sensitive issue that divides the U.S. and China.

In Beijing, the island is considered a breakaway province that must be unified with the mainland, even if it means using military force.
But Taiwan, which is formally known as the Republic of China on Taiwan, insists on autonomy.
The democratic province, which receives American weapons and aid, does not want to come under Chinese rule.
Luo warned the U.S. not to intervene in the Taiwan-China dispute.
'If the US naval fleet dares to stop in Taiwan, it is time for the People's Liberation Army to deploy troops to promote national unity on (invade) the island,' he said.
'Achieving China's complete unity is a necessary requirement.
'The achievement of the past 40 years of reform and opening-up has given us the capability and confidence to safeguard our sovereignty.
'Those who are trying to stir up trouble in the South China Sea and Taiwan should be careful about their future.'
Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
