Is China reclaiming land in the South China Sea? Malaysia apparently wants to behave tough guy to China, but China told Malaysia's girlfriend that Malaysia has Islam and therefore will burka her or something. (China is a bigot, but likes to pretend to not be a bigot) Nobody knows, and China isn't telling.

Someone says that they know what the 13th Five Year Plan that the Ministry of Environmental Protection is working on (and will be sent to the State Council next March), but that 1.7 trillion RMB investment into environmental quality -- will it be enough to stave the tide of cancer? Nobody knows, and China isn't telling.

Is the Peoples Daily trying to signal that China is cracking down on corruption? What is the prognosis of corruption in China? Haha, China might be telling, but we don't know really because schizophrenia abounds in Chinese policy and the CCDI might be not telling us the whole story.

China is China. They'll probably just loop around into another expansionary/stagnation cycle. Consolidate their gains. Invent a bunch of cool poo poo (last time it was paper and gunpowder, this time it might be a missile for the Su-27 that'll gently caress the Joint Strike Fighter right up, which isn't much to aim for considering the F-35's inability to simply fly, so I bet it will actually be something genuinely interesting like a carrier-fucker or a super-worm).

So, they conquer a bit, form a powerful government to control that bit, no one dares oppose them. Then they slink into stagnation for another two thousand years while the rest of the world moves ahead. China survives because it doesn't bother to gently caress with other people, it doesn't really support terrorists or guerrillas or freedom-fighters or anything, it might throw a bit out here and there but in the same way you'd chuck some change at a hobo to stop him bugging you, not with any effort or real support at least, and it doesn't bomb some little country that just so happens to have a government it doesn't approve of, China merely looks to its own borders. North Korea is an exception but that was more a personal Mao/Korean-guy thing, and it's a constant drain on their economy and they regret it every second.

Hell, you delete the US Navy and Marines and that particular ability to project power and the United States would start looking hungrily towards its more nearby neighbors when the people start getting antsy. So it isn't a China thing, more like an empire thing.

It's still in your favour, no denying that, but the gap is closing. Soon it will even up, then they'll overtake you. I know my country will be drawn into it on your side, as a base for ancient bombers easily shot out of the sky, and our own elite troops sacrificed, but that aside it'd be funny to see your gung-ho manifest-destiny attitude impale itself on a great wall of dedicated defence. I genuinely think you'll achieve naval victory, really I do, but you'll lose so much in doing so, you won't even be able to project power beyond the visual horizon of your pitifully few frigates. And every day constant harassment. Any land battle after that is laughable. And no one is foolish enough to grant you access to their ports and roads for a real invasion. You couldn't even do a real invasion anyway, you could barely handle little old Iraq.

You want to kill Chinese, but how? What are you going to do?

lol if you think we can't carpet bomb China flat

we had our kiddie gloves on for Iraq and Afghanistan. youtube search 'shock and awe iraq' for the initial parts of the war and imagine that but in all your cities and it doesn't end after just a couple nights.

you think we can achieve naval victory but you ignore that our ships can shell things from dozens of miles away and most of your people live near the coast.

anyway your tom clancy fantasy isn't going to happen because we have no reason to invade China. they assemble all our widgets for us.

I think you can't. I really think it is beyond you without a Total War type effort.

Conventional war you still win, fine, they might sue for peace. You are still above parity, you can probably defeat them in a regular war. You gain air power, SEAD/DEAD disables their defences if you're very very good. Then what? What is gained? Your economy is trashed because you depend upon them, well they depend on you too so China is hosed, but it's about you how are you sitting? You would have lost a huge proportion of your air power. Chances are one of their subs would have got a lucky hit too. Dead sailors and pilots on the political agenda.

This isn't Iraq, you can't invade. What's next?
