China's SCS Strategy Thread

[BoraTas]

True, but if China had access to Sea of Japan, Japan and SK also would have to divide their resources to the region (Sea of Japan) for potential China + Russia attacking them during crisis, just put a small fleet (1x 055, 3x 052D and 5x 054A and many 056 there) plus strong shore missile defense would make Japan and SK would think 10x to get involved in Taiwan for example

Nobody would even think to have a land attack/invasion on China currently, even not in the last 50 yrs at least anyway

The DF-21D and DF-10's rumored anti-ship versions can threaten the waterway between Japan and South Korea from Shandong. With the overflight of North Korea, China can perpetually attack Japanese and American assets anywhere around Japan from Liaoning using J-10Cs and the new version YJ-83. I think China is not losing anything from not having a coast to the Sea of Japan. Islands in the SCS are a lot more strategic in my opinion.

Do you even know how big Chengdu's metro system is today?

Careful! Most westerners will claim that the only thing holding them back from building modern metro systems is their preference for "Freedom" and "Privacy" that is only offered by private transport

There is no way Indonesia would lean to Australia, they hate Australia, especially the military. You have no idea at all of geo politic in SEA

20 years, and you talk, with such confidence. Wow.

Oh, I see, your sense of time is adjusted to how things go in the West. hahaha, that's just funny. Let me ask you, did Chengdu even have one mile of urban rail transit 20 years ago? You think what you're seeing 20 years ago is even a remotely adequate representation of what it is today?

Are you kidding me? Do you even know how big Chengdu's metro system is today?

I keep myself informed on developments there, thx for ur concern! But the countryside beyond those cities has many things to be improved; does PRC have a highway system like Germany & USA? How well is she connected with her SE Asian neighbors besides Laos, much less their coastal ports? How long does it take to get from Kunming to Rangoon by land?

According to an old Chinese proverb: “If you want to get rich, first build a road”. It is advice that Chinese policy-makers seem to have taken to heart: the nation has built 10,000
