Actually I was thinking that this could be a exercise for a strike on Iran's nuc facilities. Kazakhstan has similar terrain.

The PRC just ran its scare the west drills at sea. Nothing much the west cares about defending in Central Asia.

If they could "hit" to against some of their facilities, so there are a number of countries that may see it with joy

China has problems with Islamic Radicals too out in Xinjang (NW of the Country). I doubt they want any of them getting some fissile material from Iran.

Yes, that's entirely true

Man it is a ashame we allowed investment in China, they are going to be a real pain this century, we should have done our best to keep them contained and a backwoods joke.A future generation of Americans will prob pay the price in blood one day, sadly.

Will probably be a future scenario, unfortunately, and therefore the strategy must be designed to prevent the situation that is directly threatening

Blame Japan. If it wasn't for them China would still be a bunch of feuding warlords with USN and RN gunboats patrolling the rivers.

"What the hell happened?"

To find an answer to what is tracked out, so time machine would be very good

Views like this are why many over there hate us.

Keep them contained? How would you like it if the rest of the world worked to keep us contained? Not very happy I bet...

You are beyond belief if you think even for one moment that china will ever "attack" Attacking your biggest customer is one of a dumbest ideas a country can ever act on. If china REALLY wanted to devestate us they could cut off exports for a time and reign in on debt. Such a move would DEVESTATE the economy of the US overnight. Because so many parts for the machines that run the country come from china.

There is a conflict with them coming this century....may not go hot but we will certainly be in a cold war type situation.This won't happen anytime soon but as China grows and grows, they will be more and more ambitious esp in Asia and the the Pacific.

One day in the 90 years(less really) left in the century, they will be a real problem for us that could have been avoided had we contained them and made sure they remained a backwater joke.I personally do not care if they hate us.

I am aware how wrapped up China is with us and we need to move to producing things in America again.China depends on us to import things from them.However, China is building it's military and things such as a missle designed to sink a US super carrier, the centerpiece of our Navy.

So in the next century we will spend billions dealing with China as we did with USSR, perhaps proxy wars like Korea, Vietnam or Afghanistan in the 80's in which US men and women will die.

China has made great investements to improve ties with oil-delivering Iran. They will not strike Iran and it's reactor(s). Not now and not in the forseeable future. In fact China is one of the greatest defenders of Iran against the West. They also love to see the West agonising over Iran. They will not help to give the West relief from that - it would be against their own national interest.

Cchina and a nuclear armed Iran go very well together. The alliance also is directed against India (and it'S need for oil), which seems to set to overtake china sooner or later (sounds strange, I know, but there are indices implying that).

The biggest threat is not China, on paper it may appear that China and Iran are partners. But China must protect its own house first and white appropriate measures to prevent the West may be an advantage in that Region.But Bilge Rat quote so of course play the part in oil phase is a center of power
