China accuses US of damaging regional stability with Japan defense radar

[Aepsilons]

I guess, with the on-going development of the Chinese Navy, China is getting rid of the classic territorial power mindset, although, as you have rightly put, this will hardly translate into imperial expansionism.

There is already a huge scholarship in China on the issue of transition from territorial to sea-land power status. With China so much intertwined into the world economy, a land-power mindset would be rather backward.

Like the US, I should add, China has to fully secure its immediate neighborhood and then become a sea-power although, with its huge landmass and only a single front to open waters, it would still not be a pure sea power.

I've been following into China's Military Academe' postings on paradigm shift of how the PLA (PLA, PLAN, PLAAF) will ensure the security of the nation's borders and interests. One thing that I've been researching is how China's Force Matrix is intertwined with Development Matrix. Its iconic and revolutionary actually, a 'Win their hearts' strategy. I'm referring to China's development of ships such as the Peace Ark; which is a large hospital ship that was mobilized to the Philippines in 2013 to help give much needed medical care to Filipinos during the aftermath of Hurricane Haiyan. That incident shows how China, as an economic, military power can deploy its military for relief efforts.

Going to what you said, about China's theater realities. Yes, i agree that China has an impressive ground force and this has always been so throughout her 5000 year history. China has always been a continental , land power. But its good to see that she is developing her naval capabilities so that she may respond to exigencies that require her attention. Either it be securing shipping lanes, protect chinese citizens abroad, or relief operations.

Afterall, sometimes we always affiliate our miliaries with warfare, and forget that the role of the is also to secure peace and security, as well as provide relief efforts in times of disasters.

To be honest i don't really care about Taiwanese. They can live happily with the japs when Japan sinks in the future.

It's still Chinese property , Taiwan is still a useful base for PLAN

 

[TaiShang]

that ain't happening

Exactly so. I do not see any deep strategic rapprochement between China and the US. That's why China is doing the right thing at the moment by beefing up the trade relations with the US while working hard hard to neutralize military threat posed by the US army. I do not see China stepping back on any issue such as cyber-theft/spying claims, sovereignty in SCS or Taiwan. There is no such strategic trust between the two.

do you know how dumb and wasteful that would be??
what would the target be?
would the U.S ever launch missiles at Cuba or Latin America??
all our ICBMs would be heading over the Arctic lol
a missile shield just makes sense in the Pacific to protect our allies, can't say the same for Cuba or despots in South America.

Doesn't have to be a missile shield installed in Cuba, China can certain install other means to deter US from making any nasty moves near our homeland.

reel in your wild dog North Korea which is the real enemy of regional instability.

Sure we got problem with US since after WW2, at that time US is superpower and China was nothing, now US is still a superpower China is something, when China reach the parity then we will never have problem with US because US will just fade out in Asia automatically...and We dont need American to tell us who is the real enemy of regional instability because we don't share the same vision of this world.

Looool lmao so when will your time be ripe? Before your time is right , the U.S would have long encircled you with its anti missile shield in asia.
Same with Russia, the U.S is setting MISSILE defence shield in eastern europe to contain you both effectively. Therea nothing you people can do about it other than cry/whine. . As i said several times, this is geo politics and everything is allowed,whether right or wrong. Good or bad. If ypu cant play it/arent strong enough then join us. Afterall if you cant beat them, join them

nice, Vietnam shall ask America if we can join the missile defence shield.
China increases missile stockpile and complains when others think of how to defend. they have no sense of humor.

Missile defense system will never work. It will always be cheaper to penetrate a shield with numerous cheap missile or decoys.

United States has spend trillion of dollars since Reagan times and what do they have to show for ?

 

[Nike]

Why don't China make similar move too?

Build anti-missiles in Caribbean, Middle East, and Africa too?

the cost will be huge, and none of the countries which close to China in Africa and middle East can't afford the share burden to employ such sophisticated system

Just bring it on, show the fire works baby, Talk is cheap, actions speak louder

There is two strategies which we developed and would deploy in future conflict to neutralize missile defense system. One is knocking down their satellite and two, is hypersonic missile.
