US would intervene with military to defend Taiwan

[LeGenD]

US led UN army's mandate was to restore South Korea, but later as the war situation evolved to the great advantage of UN army as it pushed North Korea army back to the 38th parallel easily, MacArthur and Truman broke UN mandate and wanted to occupy North Korea and possibly some Chinese territory too later on. This occupation of North Korea was unacceptable to China as the action threatened China's security with US hostile to China. So China entered the war and pushed the UN army 600 KM south to the 38th parallel where the war was started in the first place. Chinese ground army fought with very primitive weapons compared to US led UN army, air force and navy combined especially in the first year and half, but with great courage, skills, tactics and strategy that turned the tide of the war dramatically. Soviet weapons to the Chinese army didn't arrive near the end of the war and these firepower weapons especially ”Katyusha“ did a lot to help determine the final stand or result of the war.

Chinese military tactics were absolutely brilliant.

The first job of Chinese Communist forces when they invaded North Korea in autumn 1950 was to stop the United Nations advance, which was nearing the Yalu River.

US-led forces were stunned and had no choice but to retreat and regroup for another push due to loss of Seoul among other South Korean regions for the 2nd time. Some of the biggest battles of the war were fought in 1951.

Equipment matters but tactics are equally important and can be very impactful in battles.

1. North Korean military demonstrated impressive gains in South Korea in 1950 but MacArther's tactical maneuvering in inchon paid off in response.

2. Operation Desert Storm was also brilliantly executed in terms of tactics in 1991.

Hahaha. Word games? Lol, you were caught lying. That's why China is not taken seriously.

lol, u mean u agree with what I said but too girly to admit it.
Just like usa reduced to playing with words on TW instead of just recognizing it & put the ball in China's court.

 

[beijingwalker]

MacArther's tactical maneuvering in inchon paid off in response.

MacArthor greatly underestimated China's will and capability to inflict any damage to US troops, after being humiliated by a farmers army, he just lost his marbles and demanded to nuke China, even with the risk of starting another world war, US president Trumen had to relieve him from his post.

Exactly ！Since WW II, US army was almost always operating from absolute superiority of forces against its enemies though.

 

[Chat SAMOSA]

hey man, in the eyes of Chinese, there are only The US and Europe. I am not kidding. I think most Chinese just don't care India even don't know much

Oh, I thought Etylo was Chinese.
But youre right, a billion Chinese and a billion Indians don't know or care about each other. It's the other .3 and .5 or so that stir up all the cyber bravado.

 

[Hellfire2006]

There are 4 Indian armies plus one division near the immediate Ladhka region as you can see in the map, not one division, the one division being the most forward, but all within hundreds of KM away

Wrong , there is one indian corps in leh called XIV corps with two divisions , th 8th mountain div is pakistan centric and only the 3rd mountain div is china centric. So only one division is permanently based in ladakh. The other divisions of northern command were meant for kashmir .

. There are only 4 Chinese divisions total in Xinjiang, one 6th division is shown on the map.The other 3 Chinese divisions you mentioned in Xinjiang are deployed more than thousand of KM away in Northern Xinjiang and the 76th army is stationed at least two thousand KM away in another province Qinhai outside both Tibet and Xinjiang, so these armies literally don't count as border deployment simply becos they are too far away and that's why they are not shown in this Sino-India border map.

4th and 6th division were moved to indian border in april 2020 . There was already a existing division in aksai chin and PLA reinforced that division with 4th and 6th from xinjiang. Also the heavy combined arms brigades of 76th group army are already deployed
Read this . The 77th and 76th group army of western theatre command have been tasked with offensive operations into indian territory .

PLA modernises Xinjiang's military units in 'reaction' to India-China LAC row

Xinjiang was finally thrust into the limelight after India refused to back down against Chinese territorial aggression in the areas of Galwan and Lake Pangong in 2020.

www.google.com

Xinjiang is a big province with the half size of whole India though all these Chinese armies belong to the Western Theatre Command which has the responsibility of guarding Sino-India borders and many other countries borders too.

For borders with other countries china mostly deploys border defence regiments but in india's case all 4 divisions of xinjiang military region have been stationed atleast once in eastern ladakh in the past 2 years .

India definitely has way more troops at the borders with much higher ratio than 2 to 1 as you can see in the map that China only has one division and one brigade near the Ladhka region while India has 4 armies plus one division !

The map leaves out a lot of PLA elements . Where is the heavy combined arms brigade which is deployed opposite spanggur gap ? Why is 6 div opposite depsang not shown ? Why is 4th motorised div in pangong region not shown ? The 4 armies( we call them corps) you are talking about cover entire sino indian and indo brumese border and XIV corps even covers a part of LoC and defends siachen. Before 2020 clash there was only one division in eastern ladakh and that was the 3rd division in Karu
Also , the RAPID reaction division forces in chengdu are unaccounted for which has 6 divisions .

Of cos it's a credible source. It has track record of not delivering fake news. I have proof of CNN and BBC making fake news. Do u have proof of global times ever make up a fake news?

Chinese people believe that it delivers credible news because you cannot criticise your government , but other people don't think so.

 

[Nan Yang]

Hong Kong was handed over by the Brits after the lease ran out. China is the only country in the world which sanctified colonialism as a lease - clearly no sense of self respect.

Errr. No. Only the New territories were leased. Kowloon and Hong Kong island were ceded permanently.

And China got it all back plus its gold bullion without firing a shot. Right after the iron Lady defeated Argentina.

Macuo was always Chinese territory. Just under Portugal admistration. There was no lease.
Portugal actually wanted to quickly return it to China.

 

[Jackdaws]

This is truth, th least ran out in 1999 and in the same year China retook the city. Nothing wrong with it, Chinese nation is a very pragmatic and rational nation, we want to keep the stability and prosperity of those cities, sudden social or political disruption would damage those cities' economy and people's lives and this is the last thing China wants to see, same goes for Taiwan, a smooth, peaceful transition is in everyone's interest, no one in either side of the Taiwan strait is in the mood for a war, the only war crying is from US politicians and their media.

Basically condoning colonialism

lol, u mean u agree with what I said but too girly to admit it.
Just like usa reduced to playing with words on TW instead of just recognizing it & put the ball in China's court.

Lol. What is "Girly" ? Is that meant to be an insult?

Such misogynist and sexist views might be par for course in Communist lands but in the democratic civilized world, they are not. You should check with the 100,000 Chinese refugees in India

 

[Dungeness]

US should be very, very carefull about getting Japan involved in "defending" Taiwan militarily, should the war break out. For many Chinese, they would donate one year income to fight USA, but they would "donate" their own live to fight Japan. There is an unpaid due!

So, you just want me to take your words for all the Indian and Chinese deployments along the borders without any proof ? Why should I ?

Whatever their original orientations, the 4 Indian armies plus one division near the Ladhka region as shown on the map can be easily reoriented toward the Chinese army there since these Indian armies are just within hours or a few hundred of KM away from Ladhka region. You can always claim those 4 armies are used for other purposes and they are only your words, I was reading constantly not long ago that India was deploying armies in the Ladhka region against Chinese side, and that's a fact. Only a fool will believe your claim that only one Indian division is used to guard and fend off Chinese side near Ladhka !

What are you talking about ? The 4 Indian armies near Ladhka also deal with Burma ? You must kidding as Burma is located more than a thousand of KM away from Ladhka on your eastern front while Ladhka is on the western front.

All other Chinese divisions are not shown on the map are simply becos they are not permanently stationed near the borders, simple as that. But at times, some units from Xinjinag and Tibet may move into the border areas for exercises for a short duration of time, what's the fuss, it's China's right to do so.

Western Theatre command is responsible for China's security with more than 10 countries on the western front, not just India. But, of course, India has been the main agitator in the region for China and it certainly deserves the most attention now.

Deception in the Desert: Deceiving Iraq in Operation DESERT STORM

A very good neutral report on Korean War

The book by David Halberstam
The Coldest Winter

The Coldest Winter: America and the Korean War​

"In a grand gesture of reclamation and remembrance, Mr. Halberstam has brought the war back home."
--The New York Times
David Halberstam's magisterial and thrilling The Best and the Brightest was the defining book about the Vietnam conflict. More than three decades later, Halberstam used his unrivaled research and formidable journalistic skills to shed light on another pivotal moment in our history: the Korean War. Halberstam considered The Coldest Winter his most accomplished work, the culmination of forty-five years of writing about America's postwar foreign policy.
Halberstam gives us a masterful narrative of the political decisions and miscalculations on both sides. He charts the disastrous path that led to the massive entry of Chinese forces near the Yalu River and that caught Douglas MacArthur and his soldiers by surprise. He provides astonishingly vivid and nuanced portraits of all the major figures-Eisenhower, Truman, Acheson, Kim, and Mao, and Generals MacArthur, Almond, and Ridgway. At the same time, Halberstam provides us with his trademark highly evocative narrative journalism, chronicling the crucial battles with reportage of the highest order. As ever, Halberstam was concerned with the extraordinary courage and resolve of people asked to bear an extraordinary burden.
The Coldest Winter is contemporary history in its most literary and luminescent form, providing crucial perspective on every war America has been involved in since. It is a book that Halberstam first decided to write more than thirty years ago and that took him nearly ten years to complete. It stands as a lasting testament to one of the greatest journalists and historians of our time, and to the fighting men whose heroism it chronicles

lol, not insult, just a factual term, among many, to describe india not daring to recognize TW even after getting clubbed like baby seals by China.

And indian women are actually treated worse than animals.

All Chinese around the world be very very delighted and hope Japan be USA doggie and be in that fight
over Taiwan.

Nanjing Massacre and Unit 731 grudges will be exorcised.

At the end of that very very short fight, Okinawa and Ryuku islands will be granted independance and protection of China.

Okinawa /Ryuku was historically recognised as sovereign country and will be free from Japan

Very interesting presentation Okinawa /Ryuku was historically recognised as sovereign country and will be free from Japan

defence.pk

Ainus will have Hokkaido under their sovereignity , and under protection of China.

Guam and Mariana Islands will be freed under the Chamorros and will gladly welcome China naval base there.

Hawaii will be free and under Hawaiians

Yasakuni Shrine be razed to the ground and turned into a memorial park if China felt charitable, or else a public toilet be build where the shrine used to be.


And the poison and pus in USA will be drained out totally and USA no longer a threat to world peace anymore.
