China 'to Flex Military Might Abroad as Recession Hobbles U.S.'
2009 will be the year China begins to flex its military muscle overseas while the United States encounters more obstacles in its "war on terror" in Afghanistan and elsewhere as allies cut back on military spending amid the global economic crisis. Russia remains a paper tiger, while Iran will be capable of producing a nuclear weapon before the end of this year.
Those predictions come from the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies' annual assessment of global military power, titled "Military Balance 2009" and released Tuesday.

"We are probably close to the end if not already at the end of what one now calls the Deng Xiaoping doctrine of lying low."
