Tara Copp, China Has Practiced Bombing Runs Targeting Guam, US says. Defense News, Oct 31, 2017

Quote:

(a) "JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii -- * * * China has practiced bombing runs targeting the US territory of Guam [by flying near Guam, as opposed to mock practice within China on a model]

(b) "The officials described the escalatory behaviors by China in a briefing they provided to reporters traveling with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford.

"The officials said despite increased threats by North Korea as it pursues its nuclear weapons program, a conflict with North Korea is still viewed as “'a fight we can win,' they said. With China, they said they 'worry about the way things are going.'

"China 'is very much the long-term challenge in the region,' said Dunford, who was not part of the briefing. 'When we look at the capabilities China is developing, we've got to make sure we maintain the ability to meet our alliance commitments in the Pacific.'

My comment: Part of the report locked behind paywall, which says that Chinese bombers are also said to have flown near Hawaii. (I do not know how. The bombers must have taken off from something, but China's only aircraft carrier is not known to have cruised beyond first island chain.
