	Chinese Navy Equipped for submarine blockade against Taiwan, says editor of Jane's Fighting Ships
		"While much attention has centered on Chinese surface and air forces, rather less attention has been given to Chinese submarines and the alternative, and some would argue more likely, scenario of a blockade of Taiwan", states ex-UK Royal Navy Commodore Stephen Saunders in his forthcoming Jane's Fighting Ships 2001-02 Foreword (full preview here).
		Five nuclear-powered attack submarines are at the forefront of the force but the majority of boats are diesel-powered and include a mixture of relatively modern Russian "Kilo" class and indigenous "Song" and "Ming" classes with some thirty older Russian `Romeo' class.
		In summary, Saunders says that a Chinese Ministry of Defence performance report, if such a document were to exist, "might contain a phrase like 'satisfactory progress to date but a long way to go.'"
