There is a good chance the new toys China has received from its 'friends' will mean that the war will be over without the public ever knowing about it. If so, you will see ads and news stories praising everything Chinese, as we emerge into a new world order of global governance and interaction with China's new incoming friends.
The thing about China is that they do not have force projection capacity like the US. They have a relatively small fleet, one carrier. They have a lot of troops, but they are low quality, and basically landlocked.
And they are surrounded by Russia, Japan and India.
Now even if they has the most amazing technologies in the world, that does not mean victory. Compare the Taliban and the USA. Or Vietcong and the USA. The USA had all the toys, but lost.
China does not have the capacity to physically occupy much of the world.
The power of China is WAYYY overstated IMO.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1117196Up until a few weeks ago, I had exactly the same point of view. I do not believe that China is going to be an overt or active aggressor in all this - but who knows anymore. It is the west who has been planning war with China for some time. Until recently I assumed that it was by 'mutual consent'. The Astute incident was a demonstration that China can now remotely cripple/disable or sink any sub anywhere. I am trying to find out if the same technology can be applied to ships, planes or satellites. I suspect it can. Maybe that's why the UK has decided not to build more naval ships.
