Actually I don't think China cares about the type of government a country has as long as it is not hostile and willing to trade. Chinese government have diplomatic relation with all kinds of governments. Western democratic governments, however, only deal with those that share similar values...

China is just one of several reasons for their military build up. There is small scale quadrilateral arms race between Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand, with Singapore leading the pack. Laos, Cambodia and Burma are close to China. Only Vietnam have [bigger] reasons to build up against...

I think it's more like an alternative to a normal tram than a bus.

I think there should be a treaty to keep status quo. What's now yours is yours.

Anybody else read this in Borat's voice? sorry for off topic..

I think China should be careful how to play its card on this issue. While the ASEAN countries don't have strong navies, they are not push-arounds. Most of these countries have military ties with US and wouldn't mind calling US for help. edit: I think the US here is trying to put itself in the...

And what's the point? China is already risking being contained, if not already. Last thing you want is your northern neighbour be part of that containment.

From what I've read, is that China couldn't justify paying for full the production line start-up plus the price of Su-33 they were going to order. Hence they bought the prototype. I suppose China could pay a small fee to Sukhoi using their design, which shouldn't exceed the total price of buying...

I'd welcome KMT/ROC take over China, if it means getting Arunachal Pradesh back. :azn:

It goes both ways too. Also I don't see how one's opinion on the forum can necessarily reflect the stance of the nation or general population.

The first two may be an early model that eventually leads to the YF-23, or may be an upcoming UCAV for US military? edit: found this http://www.windtunnels.arc.nasa.gov/40G2.html

Most sources says Pakistan have more warheads than India. Indian media rather.

Original video here. It's fake.

I found this: Pakistan Surmounts Sanctions To Revive Airpower - Defense News

That was under Nationalist China (pre 1949), not Communist China (post 1949). Under Communist China, everyone was equal.

Hmm...it's not like your post is better worded.

First of all, you don't know what context 'defend' means here - military or diplomatic. I'm betting it's the latter. How many times have NK avoided harsh sanction because of its nuclear program? This time it might have gone too far.

So what? The balance of power in North America and arguably in the world as well is tilted towards the US.

I agree with oct. If NK is truly responsible, then China should support SK. By doing so, not only China can turn the table around(it's currently disadvantaged) but will gain international respect and it could pull SK and Japan closer to China's sphere. As you know Japan and SK aren't exactly...
