Interesting Tiawanistan I often wonder if all these wars are over penis size.

“The Chinese sailors stripped down to their underwear and their vessel closed in to within 25 feet of the American ship”…the reconnaissance mission was complete;Chinese men really do have tiny little penises.

Ya, with china’s second rate naval power, it is impossible for them to launch invasion toward U.S in the near future. Even WW2 Japan with one of the best navy of the world in ww2 dun even think about a mass invasion on U.S mainland. It is just strategically improable. But again, geographically and strategically, China’s biggest enemy is Russia and India not USA. Those nations are the nations that are trying to lay claimed to territories that PRC claim as their own. Especially India who pretty much put China as their nemisis in their military doctrine. For now, its stupid for china to target the USA as their enemy, afterall it is their greatest economical partner (though they compete as well), and their main feuds are simply ideological issues. (and honestly, it will do better good for China to change anyways, the CCP is simply holding the whole country back by acting stupid and telling his citizens to follow suit)

With the widespread corruption in the PLA officer ranks, that is very unlikely. Every few months, you get colonals and minor generals getting sacked for corruption and incompetence, that tells you alot about the quality of the army. And China was indeed planning to build a battleship, and you dont plan such things for deception. When boosting about china, Communist party just noe how to exagerate instead of covering. It cost money. Btw, Chinese self made fighters, the best one they have can only match the F-14, the americans are alrdy using f-18 and f-22, and possibly building better ones in the future.

Good points Maocunt. Nice handle you got going. The one great thing we got going for us as far as ever being attacked by land force is we are estentially a big Island.
Unless you want to walk across the North pole or swim across oceans undetected it would be very unlikely a large land army could ever invade us. But missiles could take out our cites. The whole war thing is so used as a threat and manipulation tool by so many corporations and governments around the world. I like Teddy Roosevelt’s old axiom Walk Softly but carry a Big Stick.

Haven’t heard about Unrestricted Warfare? The threat of PLA comes from its secrecy that you will probably never know what military doctrine they really rely on. As Tsunzi said,

“War is all about deception.”

Over exageration of US military power. It prob just take the EU and Russia to team up to take out America (again it wont happen in the near future). As for China, it’s really not that strong even it looks so threatening, not saying their soldiers aren’t brave or tough or anything, the problem is their military doctrine. They are still thinking of building battleships (Which is felt out of disused after ww2), building better tanks (after the first gulf war, its proven tanks is gonna be obsolete soon enough) and so forth. Oh also a pt of intrest, Mao’s grandson is pretty high rank up the PLA army in terms of the doctrine department, and some of the theories and beliefs he come up with is “Mao Tse Tung, my grandpa’s long march change ww2 and defeat Japanese”

In an effort to put my chunterings back on topic: Vietnam, historically (pre c.950CE) was part of China.

Vietnam was a part of China in the sense that China WAS a part of Mongolia. You should know what the invasion is!

We Vietnamese call the sea Biển Đông wich means The East Sea. I’m sure people in Singapore, Phillipines, Indonesia call it something else. South China Sea is a name that is correct to Chinese but has been wrongly spread out just because the Western thinks about China more than other countries nearby. For the same reason most Westerners usually look at people from Cambodia, Korea, Vietnam,… and think that they are Chinese. It’s a big mistake if you adopt that as the meaning of ownership.

And let me say this thing about China’s rules. When you say the Western rules are imposed by wars, the may I remind you that the Kungfucism was “exported” to us by invasion – which is, IMHO, much worse than war. I’m not criticizing Kungfucism itself, just to make the situation clear and fair to Mike. And when you say about the victims of the Western supremacy addiction, may I remind you that the Kungfucism led to many many wars in which Chinese people killed themselves to get the power.

I know China’s been talking about solving the dispute in peace but I don’t see the way they’re DOING supports that. The Chinese navy attack many Vietnamese fishing boats, snatch their equipment and fish, then run away. The navy also capture fishermen, prison them and ask for money – this is no more than what the pirates in Africa is doing. A dozen of our fishermen has been being kept for several months now.

This is what you say to Mike: “Could you just open your eyes to see the fact that the south china sea is an ocean away from usa?”. May I ask you a similar question: Why the hell did China attack us in 1979, as your Deng said, to teach us a lesson (sic), just because we defended ourselves from the Khmer Rouge who attacked us?

No, China talks in peace with those whom it cannot bully, but bullies the other in one or the other ways.
