What now for Taiwan and China?

You guys realize that war with China would mean draft in United states.And to be honest do you think drafted US troops would be any superior to conscripted Chinese troops?Also the in the US arsenal do you guys believe that the basic equipment for those drafted US troops would be anywhere near advanced to that equipment that is available to active troops in US service.I think that this will be once again more talk less action.And im glad becouse of that.

With our Abrams tanks and F/A-22 jets, half the job is done already. The last 15 years have proven that no conventional army can stand up to the USA. The only possible problem china could pose is occupation. And we would not be invading to conquer, simply invading to cripple.

Yep.But you have little problem currently.Your well armed spearhead Divisions are already deployed everywhere around the globe.Im not on the Chinas side anyway on this but if you want war with them you better start practicing how to use M-16.You can always Bomb China and destroy their infrastructure but thats about that and i guess China is pretty well aware of that fact too.But if you want go to land war against chinese army by occypying China.I wish you good luck my friend.

Yet another reason to be against the Iraq War. Big Surprise.

How big is the PLA? 2.5 Million? How big was Saddam's army the first time around? Over 1 Million? The first Gulf War lasted about a month. We were smashing the army, and didn't really give a damn about insurgency. I imagine the case would be true in a conventional war with China as well. Smash the army, lay waste to the country-side, peasants with rifles be damned since we're leaving when the business is done. Catch my drift?

Sorry Cube if im getting on your nerves but it seems it doesnt matter anyway what i say to you forget about it.Go invade China.Im sure when Peking sees US Marine divisions on their cost making ambhibious assault they wont launch their Nukes to US.

Russia to the North, India to the West, Taiwan, South Korea, and the US to the East, hundreds of enemy sea & airbases and untouchable lines of communication surrounding it, and a billion people itching for freedom on the inside.

China is in a fragile position.

It's also starving for energy. Them think-tanks and such that now play with these scenarios apparently theoretize a possibility of eventual war between Chian and the US - over control of oil tranfer routes, such as the Central Asian pipelines and particularly those SE Asian shipping lanes that run through, whatwasit, the Malage Straits.

In any case as of now it has absolutely no way of winning any such conflict (at least militarily; the necessities of politics may naturally be an entirely different thing). Just about the best it could manage would be to simply grimly hang on and absorb the dreadful beating its previous-generation military would take until the US plain runs out of ammunition and money to keep going. Given that a major embargo, information warfare and propaganda campaign and other such modern niceties would also be the order of the day, the populace are a tad restless to begin with, and the army ...getting depleted pretty rapidly, avoiding a total internal collapse long enough should be a bit tricky.

Whatever else the old fogeys in Beijing might be, I don't think it includes "criminally stupid". They can no doubt recognize a blatantly losing proposition like anyone else.

You guys set up a countdown calender to the year 2050.. thats when half the world is one peoples republic and the rest are administrative regions being directly commanded from Beijing.





For some reason japan is a nuclear populated zone..

Talk about paranoid fantasies, Faisal. I really hope that was a joke. Let me ask you this... the Western World will allow PRC to overrun India, Indochina, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia and a host of other countries, yet somehow, they're going to stop at Iran's borders? And I love the notch cut out for Pakistan (and Burma?) Tell me the truth, where did you get that map?

I wasn't serious about my previous post

I got it from some forums, i forgot where, but it was pretty funny so i saved it on the HDD.

From what i understood, pakistan, khazakstan, "korean union" and burma are the "good guys" so they let them be vassals.

the red areas are conquered territory, the rest they ain't interested in.

I think the guy who posted this took it from some ultra nationalist chinese website.
