US cannot accept China military power: state media

US cannot accept China military power: state media: "China will eventually have a military powerful enough to compete with the United States, state media said Friday ahead of the visit of US Defence Secretary Robert Gates.
The claim in a newspaper editorial followed reports that China had completed a prototype of a stealth fighter and after a top US military official said Beijing was stepping up efforts to deploy a 'carrier-killer' missile system.
'Whether the reported new weapons are true or not, in the long run, China will own first-class weapons that are capable of competing with the US war machine,' said the Global Times, known for its nationalist tone."
