China’s Plan to Beat U.S.: Missiles, Missiles and More Missiles

[Betonov]

Reminds me of the time I played Civilization II, when the AI would build notthing but cruise missiles and when it was their turn your transport fleet would be destroyed by these missiles. The attack lasted for about 15min and it was very effective, I guess China's brass played too much CivII

A simple plan to defeat China?
Stop all imports from them and all exports to them.
Then they won't have the money to do crap.

And it would solve our unemployment problem at the same time. (Unfortunately, such an even is highly unlikely. Too many things are interconnected, which means that it would take too long for us to adapt, giving them time to adapt in kind. Stopping the economy of an enemy nation as big as China would require a strong, uniform, universal and extremely powerful "attack", which we are not able to deliver).

I thought the Chinese plan to beat the US was using EMP weapons.

Things sure have changed since the Korean War in the 1950s when the Chinese plan was simply men, men and more men.

Seems a similar tactic but instead of men it's an overwhelming barrage of missles. I thought I read once the Soviet Navy was expected to deploy similar tactics against the U.S.N. back in the day. Why not, it worked for me in Fleet Command.

But in FC you didn't have to spend days traveling to get in to weapons range. Those days could be murderous when faced against a carrier air wing or land based B-52s armed with AGM-84s.
