You have this almost completely backwards. What China provided to the world economy, was cheap labor. That can be had from many, many other countries. What was provided to China, was basically all the technology and advanced infrastructure needed to support advanced manufacturing. They have...

From a military perspective, your analysis makes reasonable sense, however, it's excluding two major considerations: 1. Taiwan may try, and almost certainly has already prepared, a 'cause disproportionate damage while accepting loss of the islands' strategy. Prepared minefields, drone bombs...

Aye, and if anyone tells you that we should or 'need' to invade mainland China, they're also letting you know that they do not understand how modern warfare is fought. Wars are won via accomplishing one of two objectives: 1: Destroying the enemy's will to fight. 2: Destroying the enemy's...

If you can't be bothered to post links in a language I can understand, I'm under no obligation to act like you've made a meaningful point. Google translate can give some semi-understandable soup, but I'm not going to do your work for you.

Meanwhile in Reality, you post an article in French. Shall I post an article in Klingon to rebut? Regarding the rest of your post, you have a fair point about possibly using undersized bullets. I had assumed the Chinese weren't that incompetent, but that could indeed be it. The rest of it...

That isn't a problem with the ammunition, that's a problem with the rifling in the barrel. That is a very, very basic industrial process to deal with if you're supposed to be a modern nation. Decent rifling was a problem solved in the 1800's. What makes the Chinese look even worse in this, is...

They actually have Aircraft Carriers. It'd still be rough for them to supply them that far out, but they do actually have the capability.

Aside from the UK, it doesn't matter if they're interested in fighting China over Taiwan. The UK is the only nation there with meaningful ability to project force so far away. The French could probably contribute some with logistical support from the US, but the rest could only make token...

Call it a political draw then. We should have crushed NK.

What you fail to understand, is that the US was not militarily defeated in Korea, Afghanistan, or even Vietnam. We won crushing military victories in each of these wars, even though in each case we had to project power literally across the entire world to get there. What happened was political...

They represent a possible threat. The US Navy has spent the last half-century developing and fielding ways to protect their Carriers from threats. Communist-made weapon systems have a strong history of being over-hyped by those who develop them, but not being anywhere near that impressive. Still...

Yeah, I had a look at that days ago. Let me break it down for you into real simple terms: "If China has all the advantages and uses WMDs, the US military's forward deployments are completely screwed." No shit. If you completely tilt a scenario in favor of one side, the outcome will favor that...
