China's SCS Strategy Thread

[MortyandRick]

Absolutely. Given enough help and training to upgrade their facilities.

How much help and time and money is required? That's the question. India is still pretty freaking far from the SCS! I wonder if the US would even trust those repairs. May do more damage than good.

You seem to like to post a lot of negative geopolitical news about china. Reminds me of a former member Escobar. Not that it's a bad thing. Just something I noticed.

In PH media and defense circles there are talks about US plans to put forward bases in the Islands close to Taiwan and the SCS. Seizing these reefs close to the island of Palawan will give China an equal footing to oppose USN units in the area in the event that these US bases become operational.

Nah, just mine the hell out of those islands. USMC can land on those islands if they dare

summit.

It’s not a matter of getting countries on board with the US view,” said Daniel Kritenbrink, the US assistant secretary for East Asian and Pacific affairs, of Blinken’s objective in Jakarta. “It’s a matter of working with our Asean partners to advance our shared view and vision for the region.”

This required the partnership “to push back on behaviour that runs counter to that vision and to those principles, including the many irresponsible acts that we’ve seen carried out by China over the last several years and in the last several weeks”, he added.

The meetings in Indonesia will focus on building American partnerships and “strengthening our relationships”, Kritenbrink said. Washington was not asking countries to choose, but was “simply ensuring that countries have choice and the ability to make their own sovereign decisions free from coercion”.

In Jakarta, Blinken will emphasise Washington’s commitment to Asean “centrality and support” for its partnership with the US, according to a State Department statement on Friday.

Blinken will also take part in the second US-Indonesia strategic dialogue alongside his Indonesian counterpart, Retno Marsudi.

This is what supercomputers are used for-- it will display all possible war scenario and outcomes.. I would run this every single day.. Everyday is more accurate than every few months.

Space satellites is mainly to show what weapons are deployed on an enemies base. then you input the data onto a supercomputer, the supercomputer will give you all different outcomes and war scenarios. it will also let China knows if there's any deficiency and what weapons would be needed to address the problem.

The supercomputer can also tell you how to deploy your forces and how to defeat your enemy.

I have deleted 2 of your recent posts on this topic. They are just not helpful for SCS discussion. We do have generic west pac conflict threads on this forum. Please go read them up and understand the situation better. There have been a lot of good and informative discussions. It is not a good idea to pollute multiple threads with the same type of discussions

here are relevant threads

PLA strike strategies in westpac HIC

If those 480 SSN-G missiles were not so important to greatly increase the likelihood of successfully knocking out Guam and enabling sustained strikes in the 2nd island chain, then sure, why not use those submarines for striking other targets beyond? But I don't think the PLA can afford that...

PLA Strategy in a Taiwan Contingency

Since the Varyag discussion focuses heavily on the topic of Taiwan, then let's talk about possible intervention of USN in the case of conflicts. Let's say that the Strait Crisis similar to that of 96 happened again in the region and the mainland had issued an ultimatum that the local government...

It feels as if the west is desperately trying to push the Philippines to make provocative moves in the SCS that will invoke a response from China. I fear the current Philippine leadership has already been compromised, and Western agents both in the government and public sector are being mobilized to pressure the government to make decisions that will only serve western interests.

That's what I have been seeing, suggesting that the conflict in East Asia will not be started due to the separatists in Taiwan but by the idiots in ASEAN country and that's the Philippines due to their unhinged like behavior against China with respect to their dispute in the SCS.

The Filipinos are really blind and in all honesty beyond oblivious with respect to their non-existent capabilities and disparity of strength when it comes to China. The level of ignorance either by intention and by omission are what's animating their delusions as well as their firm belief that America will come and save their bacon just as their beloved Gen.MacArthur had done against the Imperial Japan in WWII. Most Filipinos don't even know or appreciate the history that Manila was the most bombed city after Tokyo during that war (The destruction of Manila was one of the greatest tragedies of World War II. Of Allied capitals in those war years, only Warsaw suffered more. Seventy percent of the utilities, 75 percent of the factories, 80 percent of the southern residential district, and 100 percent of the business district was razed). The damage was so extensive and severe that America gave them independence when the country's capital was pretty much destroyed lol..

The video sounds like an echo chamber of false narrative primarily only to aggravate.

I learn something every day it seems.

I do wonder how rational and informed Filipino political leadership is,
