China, the Red Threat

China, the Red Threat
by IDARNG Loki

This is a look into what communist China has been doing and what it means to us. I'm here to put some of the pieces together for you.

China has basically been Communist since the civil war it had in the mid 1900s. They have been a pain in our a$$ since then. Recently, as you've probably seen in the news, China fired a missile into space where it destroyed one of it's weather satellites.

This space weapon has a few dimensions to it. Is this supposed a distraction off of North Korea? Highly doubtful. IMO, China is flexing it's military muscles to remind the world it's still a power. Should we pass a space weapons ban? Would China honor it? I honestly don't know, but I seriously doubt it. If this escalates though I worry we won't be able to react in time or with the right numbers (I'll explain in due time). Also remember a certain news article a year or two ago that released information on all American satellites (civilians and military alike). Now if China can shoot down satellites and he has a pretty good idea where our classified and spy satellites, how are we to protect our assets and still keep up our watchful eye. It's really hard to see with a black-eye.

China has taken US officials and analysts by surprise by building their military with such expedience. China is trying to catch up to America to become a competitor in the super powers. They have such a massive ground force that it would be foolish of us to try conventional ground warfare with them. They have been building up their naval assets, but nothing to rival us; their airforce is also in the same boat as their navy. But why a build-up now? It's the perfect time obviously. The one power that can hold back China, the US, is spread throughout the world combatting terrorists and not paying too much attention to them. While we are spread out it is possible that China will try to take Taiwan. Even if they don't get it diplomatically they can get it through other means. Send some Chines Special Operations Forces and cause unrest in the area. Even if they do an all out invasion of the island we wouldn't have time to react in time; the only solution would be either compromise (f*** that) or for the US to fight back.

Why do we want Taiwan though? They don't bring us anything really special. Yeah, their economy kicks butt, but still why? It's simple...democracy. They are a shining example of democracy in a very red area. Is it worth it to fight for such a small asset? IDK, but only time will tell.

Now all the time they are doing this, they are also hindering us in our WOT. Everytime the US tries to get something passed in the UN the Chinese strong arm us and go against with all their will. Sometimes it doesn't make sense, but I think China does it just to weigh us down.

Now if we did go to war with China would it be on our shores or theirs? Most likely it will be over on theirs or near theirs. In this modern time we have moved away from conventional warfare and into a more guerilla style, but with China it won't be much of either; it will be a deluted mix. If I were in charge I would send my naval fleet to protect Japan and any approach into the Pacific from China's naval assets. Then I would send the Air Force in and bomb the holy dog crap out of the country and certain valuable military and government targets. Then I would probably send in a heavy (armoured) ground force. At first it would be somewhat conventional. Once we had a foot-hold though and the Chinese military surpressed it would transition into a guerilla style. This scares me because China's landscape is anything, but kind. The insurgents and terrorists would have so many advantages over us it's not even funny; homefield advantage. And I did say "insurgents and terrorists" because we wouldn't just be fighting Chinese nationals (insurgents), but transnational fighters (terrorists) also. You have North Korea right next door, anti-American Jihadi's in the Indonesia/Phillipines islands, Iran would probably send fighters over, Islamofascists would flock to China, and all the while we would find out where Russia really stands (probably against us, but would wear the mask of "neutrality" while sending a force to support China).

China doesn't bode well in my mind. Whether they attack today, tomorrow, or 10-years they will be America's, and freedom's, next great battle and struggle.Also see my article on "Infanticide in China", coming soon to a Hot Topic near you.
