Too many americans here are geriatric retirees. Should be playing cards in a home but trolls chinese defence forums instead.

I don't want China's rise to be peaceful. I want to see blood of our enemies spilling on the ground. Only then can China say it has truly risen!
Enemies include a country whose name starts with "J" and another country whose name starts with "I".
nah, the best war is one that is won without fighting.
That's bullsh!t
All of China's claims are soundly based on law and history. There's a reason most Americans don't bother doing a legalistic argument, because it always backfires. Sheesh, US is not even a signatory to LoS treaty.
You want to do military exercises 30 km off of Chinese coastline? Then by law China can do the same thing 30 km off of Manhattan. You wanna go down this path?
Both Diaoyutai and Nansha (Spratly Islands) have been fishing grounds for Chinese fisherman for hundreds of years. China is unique in that it has enormous amount of dynastic era documents supporting its claims. The only claim Japan has to Diaoyutai and SE Asian countries has to Nansha is that they grabbed it in 20th century when China was weak.
Because China faced too many geopolitical problems during the 20th century, it was not able to send ships to chase away Japan and SE Asian countries when they first claimed the islands, patrolled them and later on even built structures or outposts. China did, however, voice objection and reserve the issue for later.
In fact, the creeping annexation of China's islands continues now because Japan and SE Asian countries are now taking the next step -- trying to eject Chinese fisherman who have been fishing there for hundreds of years. Their dirty little secret is that their claim to the islands is unsound, since they grabbed it while China was weak, ignoring its protests.
When you grab islands from China taking advantage of a temporary weakness, expect that China will come back for these islands when it is strong!
That never happen. You win a war neither by letting your enemy fight with other enemy or direct fighting.
You can fight with finicial power, military power, or softpower.
But you have to fight to win.

US is still a juggernaut in military terms, look:
Airforce
F-15 Eagle - 1,119
F-16 Falcon - 4,450
F-22 Rapot - 168
Navy
F/A-18 Hornet - 1,480
F/A-18E Super Hornet - 400
These are just the most well known ones and those are the numbers built. They have thousands of 4-4.5 generation fighters and China has less than 200 J-10s...
Because US military is global strategy, and our military is only defensive. And we are now focusing on quality instead of quantity.
Yes I agree, but all those I listed are top US quality aircrafts and they have thousands.

Interesting that you say "chinese defence forum". I do have to agree with you. The recent arrival of so many Chinese child members here at the PDF has transformed this formerly Pakistani Forum into a China-is-wonderful forum.

i smell imperialistic approach from u r rant. china has always stood against imperialistic approach of US. i have always admired china for the way it has always stood against US. but some how u r statements suggest otherwise. i am sure it is just an aberration and most chineese do not favour war with japan and india.
no offense to my other chineese friends, but i would like to tell my friend @hongwu " if and wen time comes, we will be ready"

War with Japan: yes
War with India: no
99% of Chinese, for good or bad, don't think india threatens us in any significant way.
