At Future Firepower we always keep the latest breaking news on the newest weaponry available to the United States Military and its allies. On top of following the technological advancements in weapons systems of the US, we also like to introduce the military capabilities of nations throughout the world. The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China has some very advanced weapons systems. Ballistic missiles and missile defense programs are paramount in Chinese military planning with the PLA carrying a number of advanced bombs and missiles. Everything from mobile artillery howitzers, to high-tech tanks such as the Type-99 and the lighter Type-96 as seen in the picture below can be found in the Chinese military.
On top of having an array of advanced ground vehicles, China also boasts an advanced naval force with large advanced submarines, and many worthy battleships but lacking aircraft carriers. The PLA also has a capable air-force, although it is nothing that could match the capabilities of NATO forces or the United States Military with the F-22 and many other reliable and proven fighters. The Jian-10, swept-wing fighter has been introduced by the Chinese air-force but the capabilities remain unclear.
There was speculation years back that the “star wars” program would spark a new weapons race and nothing could be more true as, once again, Russia, The US, and China are entering into a weapons space race. The United States militarization of space has caused uneasiness within China and Russia which has caused them to invest in their aerospace programs as well. One very frightening feat that China has been able to attain is the ability to destroy GPS and other military satellites owned by the US. China launched a vehicle into space intending to destroy an old weather satellite 500 miles in orbit and achieved their goal proving that they could indeed take out the ‘eyes’ of the United States military. The US military also admitted that China disabled a satellite while it orbited over China’s land mass using a directive energy weapon of some sort which produced a high power beam into the face of the satellite.
With China only spending 10% of what the United States does on military technology and expenditures, the PLA has some amazingly advanced technology. Some estimates say that Chinese military spending may spike to half that of the U.S in the foreseeable future. This would make the U.S government very uneasy.
Slideshow of Chine Military (PLA) weapons
Currently there is a weapons embargo between the European Union and the US with China. The Federation of American Scientists, a liberal group long known for its opposition to nuclear weapons, has come out against lifting the EU ban on arms sales to China.”Indeed, troubling transfers of Chinese military and dual-use equipment are numerous,” Matt Schroeder of the Federation of American Scientists, wrote recently.

The Americans and the EU will pay for their petty deed to obstruct the inevitable rise of a omnipower. China will rise, and the racists fools shall finally awaken to their pathetic destruction. Our power shall triumph and crush the infidels, and the milestone of our glory shall be the other’s downfall.

The US better know the PLA is not Iraq/Kosovo where US and Nato planes can roam at will. Yes in showdown with the US the Chinese will lose. there is no doubt about that. but is the US prepared to pay the price for regime change in Beijing?
Furthermore the ability of the PLA to inflict unacceptable damamge on the US i s growing every second.OK The the US can destroy China 100 times but the ability of the PLA to wreak
havoc on the US will increase from ,my projection ath moment,20% to 50% by 2010.
What the US want is China that is weak like in the korean war or in 1996 where the US can deploy its aircraft carriers.Then it ican force the Chinese to kowtow.
I believe the PLA has factored in X US carriers in a showdown over the Taiwan.I am confident if the US were to send ten ac into the Tiawan tsraits they will be burning hulk.
So the days when the Chinese are weak like in the opium war are over.

I think this highlights the hypocrisy of the Americans. The Chinese are merely spending 10% of what US spends on military and yet it is the Chinese who are being painted as villains for even daring to think of upping its spending to half of what the US is spending.

I’m sorry, we are the only current super power, people have already attacked for our ideals, we have had nothing but problems with communism in the past. Yeah your right, we should not worry when the only country in the world that can put forth a million man army increaseases enough defense funding to cover that. Idiot.

If any American cares to turn back the pages of his history he will find out the US has been involved in most of the major wars since 1945. Korea,vietnam ,bosnia,Kosovo,Iraq to name those I know.Well the US didn’t get involved in the recent Georgia war because the logstics were not in their favour. Furhtermore it was Russia not a weak Middle East country like Iraq that can be pushed around. Of course if the US really want it could win but at the cost of a general war which is not worth the price.
If the American people are not careful,their leaders could suck them into war on the pretext of defending US armed forces.If readers care to read about the Tonkin incident they will find out it was manufactured to give Johnson the pretext to attack North vietna,m. 58000 US youth lost their lives.
I’m afraid that in the Taiwan scenario, an ac could be sacrificed to start a war with China. Just imagine 5000 innocent lives lost because the US president wants to destroy China.Of course it aint easy and straight forward. The PLA must be prepared and bf China is almost pulverised they inflict unacceptable damage on the US.
Fortuantely I believe that saner heads will prevail in the Pentagon and such a scenario is a remote possibility.The point is the US can’t attack China without being hit like in the 1954 and 1958 Taiwan crisis. Then Mao’s army was poorly equipped and at most could sink a few US ships. FF to 2008 it’s a different story and the amount of havoc the pla can wreak on the US homeland will increase even with the missile shield,Ineed not say China will be a pile smoke.

China will not fight with America face-on since she realizes her weaknesses and shortcoming. In any way superiority in weaponry does not guarantee any country ultimate victory in a war. China will fight a asymmetrical warfare since the whole bulk of the Us weaponry depends on computer and computer-assisted guidance. She may launch cyber warfare, disrupt computer imaging, jamming IT related devices and of course, shoot against the GPS satellite to which bulk of American weapons great reliance at the little cost of both human and financial costs and also little international condemnation at time of war. She may even fight or frustrate America will on high moral grounds with little casualties inflicted on both side. The Chinese knowledge on computer related tools is increasing by the days and the days will the American dominate the world of IT and related technologies in the 60’s, 70’s or up to 90’s is a sheer dream away. Third World countries like India had grown leap and bound in this area. Further whether F 22 is that superior or not is yet to be seen. In a widely publicize “red-flag” mock-up battle, Indian-flew Su - 30MKI beat American F-15C in almost every aspects. In fact, on a questionaires survey, almost 80% voted Su- 30MKI would come out victorious as opposed to almost 20% votes goes to F-22 and the rest (a miserable 3%) give their vote to F - 15. Therefore the public is not easily fooled by the superiority of F- 22 as well. No wonder Congress had find it hard to approve the amount of number of the over-priced F-22 sought by the air-force, army and navy. Further with the current financial crunch in the US, it would sensible to think that the Us cannot afford to open up another war front with Iran, what more with China.
Posted on February 5th, 2009 at 10:41 am
Nicely said Joesph. However the questionaire is strange. Defeating an F-15 with a Su-27 variant is one thing. Having an aircraft with a huge RCS (MKI) vs one with a virtual non existant one (F-22) is definetly not a fair battle.
Red flags aren’t that definitive. :p

I am so glad that there are other more powerful than the West. When the West was powerful, they only look out for their own interest with total disregard for ALL non-Western countries. They are now on a road of economic imperialism. Instead of trying to invade country militarily, they are now trying to open up countries favorable to their racist corporations.
I am sick of Western racism and their white supremacism. If they go to war, they will suffer dearly. Since their lives have become too easy, they have forgotten what it feels like to have bombs dropping over their suburb.

Everyone is so quick to judge the US in its power and position… whats with you guys…jealousy maybe? Well, let’s see, if China takes the place as number one in the world will we see millions upon millions of aid going to other countries to help starving people? Take a look at the figures, not just this year, but every year for decades, the US people have generously donated literally billions of their own money to help others. Now let’s see, is that what the oil rich mid eastern Islamics are doing…? Or how about the Chinese communists? You really think that when YOUR country needs help, that Iran, Pakastan, Russia, or China is going to dig deep down into the pockets of its citizens and send their money overseas? NOT.
When the US goes down, there will be no one to help others. The other countries aren’t doing much to help now, and that isn’t going to change because their societies are not based on giving. The reason that the people of the US give is because the primary religion of the US is based on giving, not on forcing people to accept some belief at the point of a sword, or throwing people in jail because they speak about a savior.

America, my home country has a complicated history, both hypocritical with much racist policies before, but there are those who fought for a change here. the natives suffered deeply but now are doing much better and getting plenty of rights and self governance back. Finally we have a half black president showing we have progressed to a better democratic nation. I really hated bush’s policies but u cant put all the blame on america, china this past century has done terrible crimes i heard of but reading their history, they suffered bitterly at the hands of western powers and even recently from WW2 at the hands of the japanese. we have a right here to question our leaders and a right to believe in what we please without the threat of execution for it. Even with the wrongs commited here, i still love america and we do try and help others around the world. the wrongs done before are in the past, we should move forward

What little I see here is the need to realize that the objectives of wars have changed. No government fights wars to ‘destroy’ enemy country (aka. leave ‘pile of smoke’) with either conventional or unconventional weapons, or to even take their territory as their own. Economic supieriority and influence is all that matters, as whole world exists in one global economical net, objectives of war (or reasons to wage war) would be increasing welfare, econ. power of own country. This applies to Taiwan. China grew incredibly stronger over last decade without waging any war, and it is not in their interest to start. The importance of Taiwan is mere ideological, historical and prestigeous (it is a part of China after all, and thats it). I don’t know how reasonable or predictable Chineese officials are (from what I’ve seen I believe the new guy in charge is witty man), but there is little or none at all chance that they would invade the island, risking war and embargo from western powers (that would hurt us all, just open your electronic-to-clothes and read ‘made in china’ sign). Not to mention few years ago i remember chineese official stating that ‘Taiwan would peacefully return to China by 2020′. And if economical developement and prosperity would be followed by gradual political changes towards more democratic, that could mean unification of the split country, for simple reason, that Taiwan’s main enemy - ‘the evil galactic communists of China’ would be no more even if ‘communist’ (maoist) by name, while citizens of Taiwan could possibly want easier access to China’s markets.
Furthermore no sane major power government would lead its country to military conflict against other major power, because of their devastating firepower. That would do more damage to both sides than the game is worth. That is not the case with smaller country vs superpower wars, as full destruction of any side is not a threat (smaller can’t deliver it, larger can go without it). And some leaders today would wage those kind of wars for reasons ideological, economical (is that a word?;p) or political. Georgian-Russian, Iraq/Afghan wars are examples here. In first case, G. war capability was destroyed (though together with some questionable infrastructure bombardments), 2 countries split from G. (please don’t go political right-or-wrong here) while G. authorities were not ‘removed’, in the latter cases, A./I. government changes were objectives and took places. In all of the cases, smaller countries took the fight and lost, assuming correctly that total destruction of their nation will not happen, and either to defend their soveringty or to stay in charge, they took the fight.
I am writing this, because assumptions ‘who would kick whoose ass’ seem out of touch here and to be fair, kind of kindergarten-trash-talk.

I IMAGINE THE CHINESE WOULD RELY ON SUPERIOR NUMBERS. OVERWHELMING AMERICAN TECHNOLOGY JUST AS IN THE KOREAN WAR. IN KOREA THE CHINESE COUNTER ATTACK WAS SO MASSIVE THAT EVEN THOUGH THE US HAD SUPERIOR WEAPONS THE US MARINES WERE STILL FORCED INTO A RETREAT. IT WAS SAID THAT THE ONLY THING THAT SLOWED THE CHINESE ADVANCE WAS THAT THEY WERE OUT RUNNING THEIR SUPPLY LINES.
Posted on June 1st, 2009 at 2:11 am
I have serious doubts that China will get attacked by the United States. There’s simply too much at stake. And to one degree or anothere I have serious doubts that China wants to attack the United States. The U.S. is already in debt to up to it’s eyeballs, and just afford to piss off the Chinese government. At the same time, China is pretty reliant on the U.S. to buy its products. If China sees a dramatic drop in the amount of exports to the U.S., they will start to see a breakdown of their fledgling middle class especially in places like Hong Kong, and the larger cities. Our two nations have become too economically intertwined that we’ve formed a symbiontic relationship, where if something happens to one, the other will suffer just as well as the other. So just cutting ties isn’t an option either. The Chinese Can’t afford to lose the United States as a primary customer of it’s goods, and the United States can’t afford make things domestically because it will cause rising labor costs, which in turn cause higher inflation. Simply put, it just doesn’t make good business sence to go to war. Even if China were to start losing money due a rise in U.S. Dollar inflation and treasury notes. China would still make a profit that happened.
Posted on June 12th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Have you ever seen a Chinese person drive a car? Do you really think these people can fly an airplane? What a joke. As for the 10% of the US spending, you obviously don’t know we’re talking about a communist country. Even if they were spending the same amount of money on their military they would not divulge that information. They are surreptitiously building their arms since they know they can.
Posted on June 29th, 2009 at 6:19 am
Today’s PLA military is strictly a defense force, they wont occupy or attack any country outside Asia’s mainland and taiwan.
The only way China and the US will ever go to war is if the Korean War starts up again and Western forces threaten to take the whole Korean Peninsula. The last thing China wants is a Western power occupying a country next to theirs. The last thing the US wants is to go to war with their #1 buyer of government bonds, China.
A war between the US and China is impossible in this age.
Posted on June 30th, 2009 at 7:55 am
Is there ever a reason for war? Perhaps sometimes like if we are attacked first or for a just cause but have we had just causes in recent wars? I think Afghanistan was one as the taliban was harboring bin laden hwo attacked us, and now we must finish there, I never believed Iraq was a just cause as No WMD were found there and no evidence of Al-quada was there, i mean the conflict proved to be very bloody till this day and the suicide attacks and the deaths of all those innocent civilians there is saddening, so many of our troops died, but the nation appears to be stablizing, i hope it doesnt collapse in onto itself after we leave. I dont want america to go to war with china, both our contries can negotiate their differences, but over north korea? I doubt china will get involved over that country, i mean they became fed up with them during the recent talks and all, yet we still trying to get them back to the six party talks. I think war in this case must be a last option, yet south korea and japans security are threatened by N koreas actions. Nothing serious happened yet, but i dont believe we should be intimidated by their threats and if worse is to happen, i just hope it wont get out of hand. I think its unfair to demonize china simply because their a communist government, i mean is our democracy better? Mostly yeah but i tend to wonder that democratic nations as our own at times have political parties who represent the will of the select few rich at everyon elses expence. I think a major threat within america is from the stranglehold and influence multibillion dollar private coorporations have over our nations economy and politics, these would include the oil tycoons and large banks.

Communist started from Russia, and yes it caused many countries in chaos after it collapsed in 1990. And some countries like china changed their trade policy therefore can able to maintain the government. Without US and NATO china is nothing. You see Chinese heavily depends on the industries. Not many well known companies come from china so we can see that if Chinese go to war with US. Chinese will lose before they can fight. How long Chinese can feed its military?
Posted on July 11th, 2009 at 9:14 am
Here’s the thing - the Chinese have essentially been stepped on by the west for quite some time. Ranging from the Boxer rebellion to an unpopular regime supported by the west which lead to the Revolution in the first place. Now, China is trying to put itself on par with the other big players. And it’s managing this, despite how things may seem, slowly but surely. It’s economy is booming, and people are surprised it’s military is too? It’s inevitable. As far as any conventional conflict against China goes (in the unlikely event of it anyway) it would be an economic disaster for most of Asia, whatever the outcome, North Korea would make a fuss - seeing as they’re essentially held together by China - the Kremlin would be seriously uncomfortable with that level of force being applied and would at the very least make life difficult for someone (and, barring a major change in policy and thought, I can’t see this being America) Europe would be unlikely to make any major move in support as their populations would be unlikely to sanction that kind of action - not to mention the nightmare of the Cold War not only reigniting, but getting proactive. As far as ‘Shock and Awe’ goes, the Americans would have to risk and spend a great deal of effort and resources to mount a completely effective assault against a country of that size, and the damage done to industry would severely affect the rest of Asia and many countries besides. This isn’t as simple as many think - yes, America can hurt China, yes, China can make life hell for the Americans involved, but there are so many external factors to consider that from whichever direction you look at any future conflict, there is no way this would be worth it.

HMMMMMMMMMMM everybody is forgetting the at the EU is the worlds largest economy and and as the french have said it is time the Eu starts punching at its own weight in world affairs.
I believe they and not china is the next major superpower and its technology is equal to that of the US. The EU members are also allies of the US. Chinas prosperity and as such military capabilities comes from its huge export volume to both the US and EU. Also the lesson of selling iron to japan prior to WWII and that iron coming back as bombs has not been forgotten by the west. As for china as long as the Government is communist they will be fantastic at making shoes for they will never be able to get the technology that will turn them into an economic or any other form of superpower.

well if we intend to make the world a better place to live we cannot afford a third world war. To be precise if weapons of mass destruction are to be used by both sides all the hard work by these nations to give its citizens a better life shall be lost. how can asians forget the fact that a large number of asian immigrants live in europe and us. going to war just to prove a supremacy sounds stupid. what we need to realise is that it becomes very important for all to lay stress on a peacefull world rather than getting on each other.. a war is only required if inevitable rather then a insecure feeling driving us to war. think global thats the mantra for peace

Of course the US is Scared because China is challenging the USA’s power as a superpower
Apparently people can’t have two world superpowers without worrying to a nuclear holocaust. People will understand that if the US invades China or even moves a hostile act we will all be massacred in a matter of weeks after the declaration of war pertaining that China uses her 1,000,000 people army in an invasion against us. I’ve seen the chinese army and America has no chance if it comes down to war.
Posted on August 16th, 2009 at 2:00 am
China’s military is testing its boundaries as a new world power.
The truth is, the rich of America and the rich of China are in on this situation together.
They have killed the middle class in America, and sent most of it to China, in a massive redistribution of wealth. Where the rich here are selling out “the people” to China (China’s main desire). Meanwhile American companies that need ’slave labor’ get the boot of the communist government on the neck of the peasant class to make you that Pikachu squeeze toy for your dog.
America loves when people talk of world wars. Because as long as the threat seems real, so too can they leach from “the people” in both their countries, spending billions on a war neither side will be fighting for the rest of all the rich people of the world’s lives.
The truth is, China is the sweat shop of the world. It is producing widgets by the zillions, but it has no innovation, and has to steal all its technology from outside sources. Nobody sells top of the line technologies to other countries. It’s always older models. Selling state of the art military equipment is considered contrary to security interests within the selling country.
Also, China and Russia are not such good friends as others are portraying here.
When push comes to shove, Russia wants to be part of the EU, and are racist enough not to align with China exclusively. (Racism sometimes does have its uses).
One last thing. Look at the history of China militarily. They are like France in that the only war they’ve ever won was against themselves. Mao murdered more people than Hitler in his own country. During that time the starving people resorted to cannibalism. That’s RECENT Chinese history. As recent as the ascent of the American middle class.
That day is almost over, despite a few high powered officials who are in their 80’s and 90’s now.
All nations are rising. But America still has more allies than enemies, when it gets right down to it.
China thinks it’s going to Tony Soprano the U.S., propping the U.S. up, letting them think they’re number one, until one day they are not…the Chinese are being used and they don’t even see it.
It is the servant that takes the money. We are buying their goods. They are feeding our currency value. They cannot make a domestic market in a vacuum. Who will buy goods from them if they leave the U.S. currency for dead?
Who? Britian? 80 million people? Germany? Russia? You can’t feed a billion people on 300,000 million wealthy consumers. China needs the U.S. to prop up its own worth.
If China thinks it can just collect on the backs of the U.S. forever, guess what? Look what happened with the gold standard, when they got rid of it. They screwed everyone out of money owed when they switched standard currency regulations.
If they switched the U.S. Dollar to something else, the Chinese would be holding a trillion dollars of toilet paper. Either party can change the rules of the worth of that money.
Just call the item something else, not money, and you are instantly debt free. All it would take it the U.S. to convince the people to switch it, and the U.S. is HOMEFREE.
Plus the U.S. can always clawback what they ‘owe’ over issues of currency manipulation and talk them down due to what their currency ’should have been worth’ over the time the communist government was lying and pretending their country hasn’t increased in value for the last 30 years.
Plus they can argue over the lack of attention to intellectual property rights, which is worth at least half a trillion dollars in violations right there.
There are ways to minimize these loans. If the Chinese insist on ‘guarantees’.
I mean the population will be much smaller when the Baby Boom generation disappears. So less people will owe EVEN MORE per person. I just don’t think the rich, the chinese or the boomers cares what happens when they’re gone.

I’m not a US citizen, but why does everyone attack US moral?
Its not hard to see that the US fights for freedom and liberty..
I’m From Canada, We have a very small army, we basically have no Navy or air force, but we have a government that doesn’t opress people, and a high standard of living, thus, the US is our friend, aside from the fact that our history is intertwined and we’re right next to eachother…. I dunno, Russian and Chinese Powers are not Good…
When will you learn that your countries need to follow the west, all of Europ and North America, We have the highest standereds of living, the most visible rights to Civilians and such… Why do you think theirs a higher percentage of Russian and chinese people in Western Countries then the opposite? Such nations cannot be trusted with power… It will be obused and not used for freedom!
So I say, let China have there toy’s…
Let Russian have their toys…
When and if war was to break out, I surely know who is to win,
Freedom and liberty always prevails sooner or later..

On paper the PLA is no match for US forces.The US may be able to destroy and pulverise China. .It maybe able to launch a disarming strike on China’s nuclear forces. But wait a minute.It aint as easy as taht.
For starters the Chinese aint so defenceless like in the opium war or even in 1996.The days when the US can send its navy in China’s backyard are going to be over soon.The PLA missile power will see to it that any US ac or vessel lurking in China’s with hostile intent will be
become a burning hulk.
BF the US can destroy China it better prepare for Chinese retaliation. Yankee stationwhere the US park its fleetoff Vietnam will be a distant dream.

Ok Anon. Have you forgotten how powerful the US really is? If the US and China went to war the US wouldn’t get destroyed at all. Sure China has a huge army, but that means NOTHING. America watches China’s every move even though China thinks we don’t. America has people all over the world. As long as America exists there won’t be a world where the US isn’t one step ahead. The government knows everything about China. We know where there nuclear facilities are, there main bases, and where there navy is stationed. The only reason why the American people don’t know about this is because if this got released China would flip out. China’s military may be huge, but there soldiers are severely untrained. They have so many troops they can’t afford to give all up-to-date weaponry. The US has superior strategies, weaponry, technology, training, navy, and air force. China is just big. If the US did go to war with China we could destroy in most of every way. China is a new power and can’t get close to standing up against the US. No country would help China except N. Korea and maybe Russia. We could destroy there country without even setting a soldier on there ground. We could starve them if we wanted to. China is nothing right now. China is scared of the US. They act tough, but the truth is they are scared out of there minds. Anon, you over-estimate China’s abilities.

CHINA RULES???
Living in China the last 20 yrs… I know nothing is 100% Chinese in China(NOTHING!!), most technical innovations in the civilian sector and more so militarily are 5-10 yrs behind the West and more towards 10 yrs when looking at the US Military. For example: Air conditioners, Cars, even biscuits don’t get made here without Foreign technology or expertise(check your clothing tags… and take off those Levi’s)… or “borrowing” from other military utilizing the vast overseas Chinese network. Would love to visit your house and point out all the items you have that are Western, Foreign and something that your parents could only dream of during the great leap forward (30 million starved comrades… now that is socialism with Chinese characteristics). I was here in the 80s too and saw the Amazing Chinese Socialist System… Shockingly amazing…
China Rules then.EH??? Can’t even make a car without 50/50 Joint Venture… the last unique thing the Chinese made on their own was gunpowder, and a compass… Ahhh the good ol’ Days. The HONGQI… now that was a car… haha!
China Rules then??? Looking at your history (as a Chinese you wouldn’t have a clue about your own history), you will more than likely need to source information outside of China as your brainwashed mind and system won’t allow you to know the truth… If it weren’t for the US military breaking the back of the Japanese, hoping Island to Island in the pacific, giving your Peasant Ass guns, planes(flying tigers and pilots), tanks(Burma Trail) and ammunition (Ibid on both), and finally bombing the Japs into submission while fighting for every inch of sand on ignominious beaches, when somehow your great leaders have told you it was the PLA that beat the Japanese… What an amazing distortion of the facts a flat out lie that is… if it was just the PLA that was fighting the Japanese you would be enjoying some sushi right now the Japanese were beating down the KMT in as far south as Chongqing,and took over HK(although some nice Sushi houses in the HAI today and as all things in China cheaper than in Tokyo). The US did all this while managing and winning on a second front in Europe. While Mr. Jiang and Mao were fighting amongst themselves… the US Marines were winning the war in the pacific for China’s independence.
China Rules??? Modern Military Battle Experience: the last battle that the PLA was in was fighting college students in Tiananmen Square… Indeed the PLA did some amazing work there…The US Military has been fighting hand to hand over the last 20 yrs in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, against multiple enemies on numerous fronts at the same time. I guess we can call that a draw…
China Rules??? Aircraft Carriers… Again China has one… so I guess that is something to be proud of… spend the money on the people in Xinjiang maybe they will not want to rebel and kick your HAN ass out of town… BTW, there are 8 nuclear powered carriers on the seas at all times, and at least one within 200 miles from Beijing at all times… bring it on.
China Rules??? Nice Parade this past week…. reminded me of another time TANKS entered CHANGANJIE But one Question? What is with the Blue Anti-Aircraft Batteries? Kinda cool looking but wondering if the PLA plans on taking them for a swim? Why blue? Do they fly? That would be cool!! OR Was that just to match the new uniform? But will admit I like the White Tanks… and the Black Uniforms… reminded me of Star wars… I think the PLA has watched to many Hollywood Movies… can’t blame them a DVD just costs a dollar on the street another copied success story regarding MADE IN CHINA. But I will say though that the hotties in the red skirts with guns marching was intimidating and strangely sexy… Props there that was the best part of the parade!! Just AWESOME MILITARY POWER! The US Military doesn’t need a parade, as US Military is on parade every day at friendly ports throughout the world, and fighting for nation’s and their people’s inherent rights to self determination and human rights, something in China as a Chinese person you would know nothing about. Ask yourself, why if China is so great are there over 50% of all students studying abroad STAY in their adopted countries decide to stay their and start a new life leaving the superior China behind? Wonder why? I couldn’t imagine even 2% of Americans studying abroad leaving behind their homeland America for a chance at a new life in a new land… they wouldn’t go anywhere on the globe. I can’t even imagine the thought of that…
CHINA RULES??? As you say if the Japanese would have won if they had enough time germ or bacteria… sadly they used Chinese in Shandong to test all their germ warfare… (wish the US military could have ended the war in the pacific sooner, and should have given more support to local governments and resistance forces but in the case of China, the two sides KMT and Communists spent more time fighting each other… so why would or why should the US give aid to such idiocy??)…. the Japs seemed to have enough time for that setting up camps and controlling whole Chinese provinces, spending years raping the Chinese taking China’s resources… but internal civil war takes precedence over fighting an enemy that is laying waste to your country and people, again part of your proud military history. Why even bring up and IFs… there are 1,000 ifs in one battle let alone a war… but the reality is the US Marines, US air force and Navy beat the Japanese from Indonesia through to Japan, fighting and dying for every inch Japanese occupied islands in the pacific were taken by the USA, with limited help from local countries, included limited assistance from the Chinese. So what were the Chinese people doing during 50% of WWII against Japan… fighting itself… thanks indeed for your kind assistance during WWII… if you and the Chinese people would have focused on the real enemy rather than deciding who would play king (like today the imperial communist party is just another empire, families in charge, with its own forbidden city in Zhongnanhai, they feed you refrigerators and microwaves and the hope for the American Dream (sorry “socialism with Chinese characteristics dream” just rolls off your tounge) owning a house and a car… giving the Chinese leadership economic legitimacy. The Party even redefines your realities for you? So the PLA beat the Japanese Military eh? If you would have fought the Japanese instead of yourselves… then maybe I would give you some consideration as a people worthy of being a friend or worth listening to on the world stage… but at that time, even when Americans were dying taking back lands overrun by the Japanese war machine on each island liberating millions of people including the 800 million Chinese… China would rather fight each other and as usual leave the heavy lifting to a 3rd party. A simple thank you would be nice.
CHINA RULES??? Where is your innovation and independent thought… even in this modern age.. what new weapons have you developed? Maybe China can come up with something on its own? Where is the Chinese system for missile defense, new hardware, drone aircraft, etc, how about something truly Chinese a like Chinese AK -47… Doh… T72 Doh….a Mig 27 doh… seems they are all designed and created by someone else, like all things in the last 500 yrs innovation is outside of China. The People’s Republic of China…. will give you one thing the Olympic opening ceremony was way cool, more of that kind of China Cool… less Bullshit False Pride!!!
CHINA RULES??? The PEOPLE? When are the Chinese people going to stand up and be the great nation it was destined to be? 起来！ Some of the smartest, kindest hardest working people,, Friends and associates, with so much more to give… there are 1.5 billion individuals…. “individuals” but sadly one mind from One supreme leader communist party/King, controlling the message and content of the peoples life, using the outside world and foreigners as the scapegoat for all internal problems…. Watch some more CCTV they will tell you how great China is, how much wheat was produced today and how bad it is over there… NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN CHINA FOR 5000 YRS.. . only names haha like Socialism with Chinese Characteristics… can’t even make up your own name for something that already exists… just call it capitalism… oh that’s right, it doesn’t matter what color the cat is so long as it catches mice…. but millions died at the hands of the communist leaders because they were capitalists… so you couldn’t call it capitalism then could you?). Don’t let the facts get in the way of the Truth, demand more from your government. You spend more time debating US politics and world politics than you do your own national politics… Could you imagine having an open discussion about Chinese domestic and international policies? So enjoy this debate… just because you can.
CHINA RULES??? 5000 Yrs…, pls… what do you call the Yuan Dynasty? So now Mongolia is also China? The Mongolians for hundreds of years(longer than the USA has been a nation) just borrowed your capital I guess and since the face saving Chinese couldn’t stand to say shucks we lost the whole fucking country, we will just say they are Chinese too…Works for 1.5 billion people it works for me too, just keep making Gongbaojiding!
CHINA RULES??? Your legacy in Vietnam and Korea are indeed something to be proud of…. when I compare the North Korean state to South Korean State… there is really nothing needed to be said other than to ask you, which state would you rather live in today… If China didn’t attack the UN troops(it was a UN operation working to repel a Northern Invasion of South Korea) what would North Korea Look like today? Or when I go to Vietnam and see kids walking around with American FLAG shirts and they ask me where I am from… the USA we love the USA… then I tell them I live in China and they say Fuck the Chinese… why is that? I guess that is something as you say you should be proud of. If MacArthur had his way China would have had a McD’s in Tiananmen in the 60’s. Politics not the Military kept the USA from destroying the communists in Korea and would have more than likely been a big enough diversion to stop the war in Vietnam too.
CHINA RULES??? Socialism with Chinese Characteristics is just a euphemism for Capitalism… Your Great leaders will even make up their own realities just to keep the masses happy and to keep themselves in power… a grand illusion…. Somewhat similar to your arguments, just a lot of name calling cause you are frustrated that no one takes you seriously cause you now own a LCD TV and you think that is enough to be called a super power.
CHINA RULES??? Why have you not gotten the country of Taiwan? This peace loving island with 30 million ethic Chinese who have their own currency, own political system, they elect their own leaders for 60 yrs… just as long as PRC has been around BTW (someday you too in China can be empowered to choose the people who govern you… maybe but not with idiots like you leading the way). Your Military is so superior why not just reach across the 100km straight and take it? Because you can’t (even with Blue tanks)! The Taiwanese Military would destroy most of your jet planes, knock out huge amounts of the Navy, and by the time you got to the coast would see that great Taiwanese Fighting Spirit of an independent people defending their home and their freedoms…. ALL that without US military assistance…. The Taiwanese could achieve all that by just using some odds and ends from US/France Military supply… and not even the latest and greatest stuff. Why haven’t you gone for it? You have attacked and killed hundreds of your so called OWN people in Tibet and Xinjiang for doing much less… why haven’t you attacked the lovely little Island of Taiwan? Because your great leaders who know the capability of your military know it would lose in embarrassing fashion.
Jeez… was just going to say go fuck yourself you dumb cunt but got a little carried away…you are of an entirely different character…
Have a listen to MacArthur, Duty, honor, Country… 起来起来起来！

Just because their country is small, they were jealous and had to pick on the weak at that time, just like picking on children!
The mongolians, From my point of view…look at the mongols now, and all those fucking countries that were powerful before. mongolia, Rome, Greece etc… Are they any powerful now than China??? China was very weak before and poor….now, china is at centre stage! that, i feel proud! but at the same time… i do not appreciate offensive comments on china!!!

Y cant China make their own weapon if they are so superior now??? hmmmm…that, i dont give a shit. maybe china they create their ultimate weapon!!! BUt importantly thing is…it is not a country others should take lighter just like the old China.
lastly Shanghaeye’d or whatever…Y dont u comment on HLC since your so good in history…dont u think he’s story is more false then truth, and more racist, or is it just because your just like him. against chinese and its development!!! If so, i would say “americans are all the same” !!!

China think they are going to be the superpower by 2020.Huns are rascist and they brutally suppress ideas of expression and their rule in in Xinjiang and Tibet is with total brutality.U.S and west will get the chance soon to separate china into 78 states.China will soon indulge war with India.West will get the cahnce to pull its full support to the world’s largest democratic country India against rascist inhuman brutal communist china.War will end with 78 democraticaly elected republics in place of Communist HunChina.
Posted on October 17th, 2009 at 10:24 am
Firstly, the chinese were not huns, you got them mixed up. Secondly, the chinese people are more diverse then you think, because during their history many people have camed and settled (without discrimination if they don’t make trouble) - that they are really more diverse like the american people
Thirdly, racist people are everywhere, by generalizing and saying every member of a group are racist, you have proved that you yourself is racist.
People keep poking the dragon in the ass and then wonder where that fire came from.
Posted on October 20th, 2009 at 2:05 am
The Chinese are a growing superpower, there is no doubt. Their military is indeed growing considerably in power and so it should. Despite the official communist government, China and many affluent cities are more capatalist than ever. Its army is not as technologically advanced as other Western nations but it is still a force to be reckoned with. A country as large as China needs a capable military. And with the shadow of the USA and Russia over it, China doesn’t want to be left behind. The invasion of the Japanese in WWII have left their mark on Chinese history. Is strength a crime?
The USA thinks of itself as the wrold police poking its nose into everything it can. China has learnt the smart option which is to mind its own business. In the end, war is expensive. Yes, China does have many faults and crimes to ammend for, but what right do western countries have to judge China? Also, the Chinese have realised that destroying the USA is a stupid idea. Why bother when you can make money out of them and sell them cheap shit?
Posted on October 20th, 2009 at 8:52 am
The only reason why USA are most powerful is because they have not been attacked in history at alland thats why they are powerful, but china has experienced war with Japanese assholes thats why they slowed down in economy, so soon china will dominate you Americans because Chinas economy is growing rapidly.
Posted on November 9th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
thats funny sense in world war 2 the japanese attacked pearl harbor and destroyed most of are fleet.
2nd of all they attacked alaska a few different times. such of which included the bombing of dutch harbor. also the battle of the Aleutian Islands. back then alaska was only a territory and these were minor battles we have still been attacked and we have provailed.
when it comes to who would win in a war united states or china. i think it would depend on where we were fighting. if the united states went to china it would be much harder of a fight but in the end i think china would fall. ONLY because it would be very hard to give efficient training to so many people. and chinas airforce is so small and there navy is half the size of ares.they currently have only 1 aircraft carrier. i mean come on. we have 12. 10 of which are nuclear powered. and if you really dont think we arent watching china and all countrys that we think could be a threat in the future you got to be kidding me. we more than likely have subs watching china at all times. but luckily china will survive because we need china just as much as they need us. without us china would loose a crap ton of there wealth because who else is goin to buy there crap.

HLC said “America has people all over the world. As long as America exists there won’t be a world where the US isn’t one step ahead. ”

Why are you suggesting that? Are you a Muslim? If you are, and are from Middle East Country or Indonesia, please advise your people to stop killing innocent people in the world (i.e 911 and @ Bali). Your people should target those government people that made the decision to invade or attach your country not killing the innocent people. There are a lot of people in US really against the war in the Middle East. Also, please stop saying it’s a “Holy War” ordered by your God. I really do not believe any God in this world would tell its people to kill innocent people.

I know you r very proud of American’s innovation & technology and I think it’s fine. In general, American people are very creative and very strong in Marketing. But when you want to make a criticism that is based on certain race, you need to broaden your knowledge first. Did you know that there are many great scientists in US are not America born although they are US citizens that made up with many races?
Did you know why you are able to access to the Internet with such a high speed today? You should appreciate a scientist that invented the “Fiber Optic” technology. FYI, that scientist is a 100% Chinese, and he was a professor in Chinese University @ Hong Kong when he invented the Fiber Optic.

A guy said: “so soon china will dominate you Americans because Chinas economy is growing rapidly.”
In my opinion, even though China’s economy is growing rapidly, I personally do not think it will able to dominate or overtake the US market. Basically, US and China are completely two different markets. However, I believe China can be one of the strongest countries in the world when its internal economy can be sustained by itself locally without heavily relying on exports.

Harry Said : “Also, the Chinese have realised that destroying the USA is a stupid idea. Why bother when you can make money out of them and sell them cheap shit?”
a guy is funny Said : “without us china would loose a crap ton of there wealth because who else is goin to buy there crap”
Well, many people here like to criticize or making fun of China for making cheap products just because China now has the capacity and capability to produce similar products with lower cost as compare to their countries. My point is that, China never force any American, European, and Japanese companies to set up their production plans in China. All these firms have done so for one simple reason: Lower Cost, Higher Profit. Sadly, the saving on lower production cost did not pass it on to us, as a consumer. Instead, it went to bonuses for the CEOs of the companies. The point is that an identical product whether it is made in China or US, we as a consumer still paying at the same retail price. One good example would be an identical Ralf Lauren’s Polo Shirt that is made in China or US or other countries, still carries the same retail price tag (if you don’t believe me, go and check it out yourself). You can never find it cheaper just because it’s made in China. As for China factories that made that shirt will never benefit in term of dollar on whatever price Ralf Lauren decided to sell. So, for that China factory, it just got a decent paid based on its production cost plus a bit of profit. In another word, what ever profit it generated due to lower production cost is still go back to American firm in this case. So it does not make any sense to making fun of China made products because China can make things cheaper. That’s why, before you start saying words like “cheap shit or crap”, please think twice who are the one to decide to outsource or set up a production in China and who are the one that kept all the saving to themselves. One day, there will be another country able to produce goods cheaper than China, and I can tell you now, all these firms will shift their production lines there. So what are you preparing to do? continue to make fun of that country?

Shanghaeye’d Said: “The US Military doesn’t need a parade, as US Military is on parade every day at friendly ports throughout the world, and fighting for nation’s and their people’s inherent rights to self determination and human rights, something in China as a Chinese person you would know nothing about.”
I found your long comments are quite funny to read and to certain extend, I don’t really share your view especially pertaining to what you’ve mentioned above. Like you said, Chinese people are being brainwashed by the government. Maybe it is truth. However, I believe the Americans also being brainwashed by their government too. What you were saying the US Military engaging a war in the Middle East is due to human rights reason. I found it very difficult to believe. Don’t you ever accuse your government did it just for “OIL” reason? Not to mention after the US had bombed the Iraq, most of the contracts for rebuilding the city went to US firms. Sometime when I think about it, it’s in fact a very good business strategy for the US. First, the US used up all their almost-expired and some newly untested ammunition and weapons for the war as live testing purposes, and best of all, the Kuwait and Iraqi government pay for every bullet its fired. Second, after the US destroyed their cities, major infrastructures and food sources, and they got the contracts to rebuild it. Third, the new government need a new force to defense its country, so the US provides the military training to its locals, and at the same time, the US can sell them those old and not-so-effective (after the testing) weapons that was supposed to recycle it. Finally, if the new government unable to pay the bill, they can settle it with OIL. What the world call it “Oil for Food” program. OK..maybe I just made up the story. But going to the war for human rights reason, I really need time to digest it, unless.., US is willing to send a troop to Myanmar and rescue this poorly treated opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, which she has been fighting freedom and democracy for her people since the 80’s. The fact is that, the world leaders recognized her afford and admire her courage to push for democracy for her countryman. Therefore, for her afford, she won the Rafto Prize and the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in 1990 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. But sadly, when her and her party’s members were locked up and tortured for one reason, Democracy and Human Rights, no nation, including US which has a strong belief in human rights has done anything to help Myanmar’s citizens and her. I guess the truth is, Myanmar does not have any OIL field. If US really going to start a war with Myanmar’s government, it will not be a good business strategy as it’s a zero return investment.

The latest Russian Sukhoi and MiG fighters are very good aircraft. Of course the US and the latest NATO and French fighters maybe better. But if the quality of the aircrafts are almost even then the biggest winning factor is the pilot. An updated F-15 in the hands of a very skilled pilot can probably beat an F-22 Raptor. If he can see it, Ha,ha.
Posted on November 19th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
My brother is in the RAF and I know that during joint exercises with the USAF we have downed their aircraft on most occassions even the much overrated F-22 which i’m proud to say has been out done by the Tornado F3 which came into service in 1985. This shows it is down to the sheer brilliance of the the pilots and not the actual aircraft. It seems the US is still in its teenage years when it comes to tatical planning and execution of military attacks and based on this I dont hold up much hope of them winning a war against China. Anyway why do most americans feel they have to verbally attack China or any other country which rivals them. The answer I suppose is Fear that they will no longer be the biggest and the one in the lime light. Fact remains that America is a relatively new country made up of europeans, africans, mexicans and oh yes asians, and in terms of starting wars and invading countries, I think america has had troops in someone elses country ever since, well ever since they took america from the native ameican indians and they have the cheek to call China evil etc. I rest my case.
