New US bomber for first strike against China: US general

[Dharmachakra]

Honestly, I think it's mere words. Conflict between US and China is very unlikely.

On the bright side,I would like to see One if possible. It will put an end to the war of words like whos got a bigger one.

And I'd love to see a war between India and Pakistan. It'll put an end to the war of words, right?

I hope the Chinese understand US will be a permanent potential hostile force against Chinese existence. Permanently militarily maintaining a higher hand over the other side is more important than the so called "growth." Looks like Chinese is going to waste their best waves of human capital without securing any important strategic interest other than obtained some "growth." The Chinese will likely never understand being able to start the war confidently first, this option, must be permanently lies in the hands of Chinese, not Americans.

American gen gone loco.

This comes at no surprise. They have a well known 2018 bomber project.

I agree that the US and its western alliance has the potential to become a long term threat, but I think you're underestimating China's strategic thinking. A Great Game is being played over control of central asia, and it is not the US who is winning, but the expanding Shanghai Cooperation Organization. China is endeavoring to match US technology to technology, from the J-20 stealth fighter, to ASAT, to ABM, to the Varyag. And even has an anti-ship ballistic missile which not even the US has. China is exerting its influence in its territorial claims in the East China Sea.

At the same time, China stresses its intention to develop peacefully and does not militarize in an all-out fashion. This soothes the nerves of China's neighbours and the jittery west, leaving room and time for China to grow its economy. Any attempt at this stage, while China is still relatively weak, to "secure important strategic interest" at the expense of the West will only see China sanctioned and weakened. Only by securing a strong economy first, then a strong military, will China be able to pursue its important strategic interests. And I don't mean world conquest, I mean reunification of Taiwan with China, resolving the East China territorial disputes, China-India border disputes, and so on.

This is why I find Russia's bluster toward the West so curious. Russia's military is inferior to NATO by every measure, except for nuclear deterrence, and yet Russia is the most vocally anti-Western country anywhere. The same goes for Iran, who has suffered deeply for defying the West. I suppose if pushed far enough, you have to fight back. But openly defying a stronger foe has not gone very well for Iran.

This is the 2018 bomber.

The west is always curious to find out what the Chinese motive is, but the truth is, China does not have a will for anything, other than growth. Which at times maybe good when you really need to grow, continue the culture revolution is insane, at times dangerous when you don't have a clear picture of your path forward. In history, the Chinese downfalls have always had something to do with mentality, I am talking about Chinese proper Chinese, not all Chinese. I guess I will stop here.

Russian's stance to some extent must reflects Chinese will. Since the cold war era, the world has gotten used to us vs ussr(todays russia), so if Russians point their fingers at Americans, it will cause a lesser stir than the Chinese, The chinese is not in a position to say it or are not willing to say it, or they like to see Gadafi got screwed (that dude is no friend to China), but Russians can and will cause less back slash. That's all. Russians has just said what the Chinese want to say but can't. Nobody cares about Gadafi. However, changing BRIC to BRICS is a hedge on African interest.

wait, what's wrong with the B-2?

I think I'm beginning to understand your point. From your perspective, China must seem an impotent great power, having the world's largest currency reserve, a large military, and yet lets the west run wild in Africa and the Middle East. Did I get your view right? The one answer to that is China has no interest in being the world's policeman. As long as China's immediate neighbourhood is secure, then China really doesn't want to butt into anyone else's business. The other answer is that calling China a great power is rather premature. China's economy is only one third the size of the US economy. The US and European military acts through the multinational force of NATO, which has no comparable competitor in the world. China is developing the capability to eventually counter them, from expanding the SCO to growing the economy to modernizing its military. But it is yet many years away for China to become a peer competitor of the west. I advise patience.

But why the hell would US attack china... US cannot handle small petty millitary states how can they take out massive china... it wont be feasible for us to attack china..

They can attack Iran , Palestine , Korea for testing using their defence budget and show the world that they are super power.... Fake super power

Well done USA.

Americans are known to be a bit more open (in terms of words) than the Chinese. One person making a statement doesn't mean anything.

For example, when Chi Haotian made a speech about invading "inferior race" neighboring countries for living space, it means nothing.

I've never heard of this quote and would consider it highly improbable that this was said the way you just quoted. If you have any proof of this besides a link to certain American right-wing neocon websites, it would make this sound more legitimate.

The closest reference I've heard of resembling what you just quoted is something from Newsmax (an American right-wing website) that CLAIMS Chi Haotian said China should invade America. Nothing to do with neighboring countries or for living space, and probably total BS news to begin with.

In the wake of recent reports about capabilities of J20 and the fear that Chinese tech has been progressing much faster than "predicted " by U.S military analysts --- even the U.S needs to reassure its strategic community of its edge over China in a conflict .

The U.S secret budget for weapons is far , far larger and the number of secret programs its working on is extensive.And they have excessive secrecy.

Statements like these are mostly for consumption .
