China could win military conflict in Indo-Pacific region even 'before America can respond', think tank warns

...


Chicom PLA shill. Most of those are in role as UN Peacekeeper operations.

Peaceful Tibet is the only country they've invaded and continue to occupy. How many wars has Chicoms actually won against an actual armed enemy and occupied?

Imperial Japanese easily occupied mainland China and most of ASEAN between 1937-1945.

Vietnamese handed Chicoms their ass during a border skirmish in 1979.

Chicoms are backstabbers and never to be trusted. US liberates China from Imperial Japan in 1945 and Chicoms kill US troops between 1950-53 on the Korean Peninsula.

Chicoms builds up artificial islands in South China Sea (aka West Philippine Sea) even though UNCLOS court rules against them in 2015. Chicoms claims for peaceful use, but actually builds them for military purposes.

Chicoms don't have the ability to project military power worldwide like the US.

The Chicoms could inflict heavy damages in first strike attack in the region. However the counterstrike by US and it's ASEAN allies would destroy the entire Chinese Navy, military fortresses in South China Sea, every naval base/port on mainland and Hainan island, every airfield within 200 miles of its Eastern coast. That's just with conventional weapons.

A nuclear counterstrike by a single Ohio class sub could wipe out most of mainland China.

Nice try Chicom PLA shill.

lol. how to create a 6.2 billion dollar reef.

Yup. We have subs too though, and they wouldn't necessarily be used to take out China's Soviet era aircraft carrier. Destroy Beijing (capitol), Shanghai (financial hub), Guangzhou (along with Beijing and Shanghai represent country's main telecom trunk), 3 gorge dam in the north, and seize/choke off Hainan Island, the artificial Islands built, and HK, then the country would be foooked. China is massive....true, but the majority of the population is on the East Coast, in high population density. Also, China is known to have nukes in vast underground cave network. However, these can be neutralized as well....So again, it goes back to will politicians let the military wage the type of war it needs to???

These would be round 2 and all correct.

First round would be turning their entire "navy" into a reef.

And their planes would be all dead.

We "might" but a solitary rocket into their plane factory just to let them know, we know.

We would stop their entire merchant fleet from reaching their ports - they need to import shiploads of soy and water every hour just to water their stock and drink. Within 2-3 days they would run out of water.

what you're maybe overlooking is... this isn't the 50s/60s/70s. China is waaaaaaay more sophisticated than they used to be. and even back when they were the backwater hillbilly.. they still managed to push back hard enough in both Korea, and Vietnam.

and like i say, today is a different era entirely. they're way tougher.

additionally. Russia has zero reason to stay neutral. and they've already chosen who they're siding with; it isn't yours. together they turn up the applied sophistication by several notches. add to the fact that the orange retard--and more importantly the hand up his arse--has managed to piss off some major allies.

if you boys think that's a recipe for success... hope in your time machine and go check out the stupid shit the far superior (and they were) Nazis did, and how that ended; come back and see if you can note any similarities.

and let me underscore this next point with heavy emphasis. NO ONE has packed away their MAD. that's still a thing. and it won't matter who launches first. we're all dead at that point.
