China And War

We are moving into an interesting decade. It will not necessarily be fun.

UPDATE:-
See the Wiki's offering, its List of Chinese Wars and Battles. It is long, very long.

Australians Should Fear The Rise Of China
QUOTE
The United States has been the most powerful state on the planet for many decades, and has deployed robust military forces in the Asia-Pacific region since the early years of the second world war. The American presence has had significant consequences for Australia and for the wider region. This is how the Australian government sees it, at least according to the 2009 Defence White Paper: ‘Australia has been a very secure country for many decades, in large measure because the wider Asia-Pacific region has enjoyed an unprecedented era of peace and stability underwritten by US strategic primacy.’ The US, in other words, has acted as a pacifier in this part of the world.

China is on the up. America is, of course on the down. Australia looks like a big country on the map but most of it is very poor land. The Chinese are infiltrating anyway, with the collusion of the local government. We live in interesting times.

 

China, Brazil And Aircraft Carriers -

The Beijing-Brazil Naval Axis
Ever since China not so secretly bought several aging Soviet aircraft carriers during the 1990s, China's ambitious naval plans have been the subject of fevered speculation by military analysts. In March, Chinese Defense Minister Liang Guanglie offered the strongest confirmation yet that China plans to embark on a major aircraft-carrier building program, telling his Japanese counterpart, "We need to develop an aircraft carrier." The Pentagon thinks that the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) could have multiple carriers up and running within the decade, with construction costs likely to run into the billions. With little in the way of naval aviation experience, China would need to get its sailors and pilots up to speed in a hurry to meet that timetable -- and that means finding an already operational carrier to train on.

The trouble is, only four countries still operate carriers capable of launching conventional aircraft. The United States has little interest in helping the Chinese military; France is prohibited from doing so by a European Union embargo; and Russia has recently grown more wary about military cooperation with its powerful southern neighbor. That leaves Brazil, which was only too happy to let PLAN officers train aboard its 52-year-old carrier, the São Paulo (which it bought from France in 2000). Brazilian Defense Minister Nelson Jobim revealed the program in an interview with a Brazilian defense website in May. Although the exact terms of the deal are unknown, it is widely thought that the Chinese might be funding a restoration of the aging São Paulo in exchange for the training program. A Chinese naval website also hinted that China might be helping Brazil build nuclear submarines, and Jobim himself said that he hoped the program would lead to military cooperation in other areas.

The United States has long been the dominant naval power in East Asia, but Chinese ships have recently been growing bolder about shadowing and confronting U.S. vessels and launching legal challenges to what Beijing views as unlawful intrusions into Chinese waters. With China and India undergoing massive military buildups -- the Indians are working on a plan to convert a Russian aircraft carrier for their own use -- U.S. naval supremacy may be slipping.

Publicly, the U.S. Navy maintains that a Chinese carrier wouldn't affect the military balance of power in the region, but this year's annual Pentagon report on China's military capabilities warns that the country's modernization campaign could "increase Beijing's options for military coercion."

America tells the world it is a superpower. It was once but with a spendthrift buffoon sending men to fight in Iraq for a foreign enemy [ Israel ] and unimaginably gross waste of money, bankruptcy looming its days are numbered. China has billions, lots of them. Aircraft carriers indicate a major policy decision to expand. It could be an interesting couple of decades. Australia looks big on the map but just wait until you see how bleak the land is. New Zealand would be another easy target when America collapses. Then there is India feeling belligerent.

Fortunately I can opt out. For the young ones it could be nasty.

 

Jews Want War, China Wants Peace [ 22 February 2012 ]
QUOTE
China rebuked Iran on Monday for stopping oil sales to British and French companies at the weekend, calling for renewed efforts at dialogue over an escalating stand-off over Tehran's controversial nuclear program. China has repeatedly called for talks over Tehran's efforts to enrich its own uranium, which [ Jews allege that ] Western countries suspect is aimed at obtaining nuclear weapons. Iran has said the enrichment is for power generation.

"We have consistently upheld dialogue and negotiation as the way to resolve disputes between countries, and do not approve of exerting pressure or using confrontation to resolve issues," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said when asked about Iran's ban on oil sales to British and French firms........ Hong said the use of force would be the wrong answer.

China needs oil. China has nukes. China can do something about crazies attacking its interests. We do not hear many people saying today that Adolf was wrong about the Jews.

 

Chinese Nuclear Sub Can Hit America  [ 7 February 2014 ]
This should be a bit of a non-issue but you never quite know. The Jews have their nuclear subs, which can hit America too. See Israeli Nuclear Attack Capability. That really is an issue with mad dogs at the trigger.
