China is building military capabilities in the South China Sea that are\u00a0escalating the already <\/span>tense standoff in the region, the head of U.S. Pacific Command told lawmakers Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In my opinion China is clearly militarizing the South China Sea,” said PACOM head\u00a0Adm. Harry Harris, in a Tuesday hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee. “You’d have to believe in a flat earth to believe otherwise.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The the <\/span>harsh assessment\u00a0from the military’s top commander in the Pacific comes on the heals of a wave of reports of increasing Chinese capabilities on disputed islands. Last week, satellite images showed China had installed a surface-to-air missile battery\u00a0on the Paracel Islands near Vietnam. And on Monday, reports surfaced that China is installing a high-tech air search radar that may be capable of detecting U.S. stealth aircraft on one of its man-made islands in the Spratly Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris said he needed the U.S. Navy to invest in next-generation anti-surface missiles to counter potential rivals like China who are rapidly building their capabilitiesto combat the rising Chinese threat<\/span>, saying the Navy was still using the same weapons it has had since he was a junior officer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When I\u00a0started flying P-3s in the 1970s we had the Harpoon missile, and it’s the same one we have today,” Harris said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The modified anti-surface version of the SM-6, announced earlier this year, is a step in the right direction, as is the development of the aircraft-launched\u00a0Long Range Anti-Surface Missile, Harris said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The LRASM: it’s a great capability that we need to bring on fast,” Harris said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris also bemoaned a shortfall in fast-<\/span>attack submarine presence in the region, and said it was an area that needs additional resources. The Navy is providing about 62 percent of the attack submarine demand in the \u00a0Pacific, Harris said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
