Default Military Power of the People’s Republic of China 2006

PENTAGON ANNUAL REPORT TO CONGRESS

http://www.defenselink.mil/pubs/pdfs...ort%202006.pdf

Some more doom and gloom for ya. China is probably a much larger threat than any tiny middle eastern country.

If you want war, war may or may not happen with Iran, but war will definitely happen with China. It is just a question of when. Taiwan is going to be in the middle of it.

Well, I better purchase those computer components for my next fast whiz bang computer then since many of those components I'm after are made in Taiwan.

Hahaha! I just got mine, but some of the components came from the enemy! I notice a lot of stuff comes from the enemy these days and most of it coming from that country seem to be made like crap. Not much comes from China that is good, ie. quality control is out the door, but they sure as hell can produce it fast!

The other day I learned that here in the UK we actually export some of our waste to China in particular old and broken electronics where it is dissassembled by people paid jack squat and with zero safety precautions. I watched on tv as Chinese labourers dissassembled motherboards ad the like of transisters and so forth to salvage what they could. Not suprisingly many of the workers have developed cancers, skin rashes and irritations, lung problems, and eye/sight difficulties. Now that is what I call looking out for the worker NOT. It's for reasons such as this that the likes of Australia, America, and Europe can't compete with China.

Sooner or later we will be in a war with China, whether over Taiwan or some other territories like the Spratly's or Siberia. China will flex it's muscles soon, lets hope the US is ready for it when they do, because right now we aren't.

We are still holding to policy of being able to fight on 2 fronts and still fight a thrid major power, so yes we are ready, but not completely as capable as we would like I would think. Basically, CHinas policy is not to defeat us, but just to stall us while they over run Taiwan. That is how they are building up their Navy.

You can bet your last dollar on that and that is what China is betting on.
Just remember we gave them or rather Clinton did, the missile technology.
We won't go for broke over a little island.

THe US has already vowed to intervene on behalf of the Taiwanese. THe US gave its word. Seems this is already decided.

We don't have the capability to take a third front while we aren't even holding two.
Shifting all your airforce and a CVN to a third region doesn't make a front and thats all we could do.

How many times have we not kept our word? We gave our word at the Bay of Pigs and we gave our word to the Kurds.
Talking smack and acting on it is going to be two different things.
The president could talk all he wants but when you don't have the capability you don't have the capability.

No worries we got the USS Cheyenne. She will destroy the entire PLAN then capture Beijing by sailing up a river or something…
