China's SCS Strategy Thread
- Thread starter lilzz
- Start date
My understanding is that part of SCS is too close to the equator to experience any serious typhoons due to low Coriolis effect the closer you get to the equator.
Sir why the urgency? I think its all about the morale factor, the problem is who to station there and how many? I think the soldiers will mutiny or just surrender to CCG as there are limits for human suffering to endure. From my understanding the garrison is composed of a squad of 18 personnel, mostly technical people to maintain the ship. the garrison is due for rotation but were told to stay put. You can sense their frustration as they were told their original deployment is good for 1 month.
Just look at the optics if the garrison do voluntary surrender, I might see a scenario after a week of continuous blocking the Chinese may allowed a single crew boat to approach the ship and see the soldiers commandeered the boat and leave their post.
An old Chinese adage, winning by not fighting is the greatest feat of victory. If the soldiers surrender voluntary due to inhumane condition caused by the blockade then its a strategic win. I think the American will prefer it that way rather than fight a war they can't win, so everybody is happy except the Philippines.
WOW!!!! We are living in a different world, usually the US always use the BIG STICK approach instead of words by deploying ship in that vicinity, now those hollow warnings meant nothing and are being ignored.
Too much talk about that ship. China's dominance doesn't depend on that ship slowly falling away, or a typhoon suddenly hitting it.
China's dominance rests on its military, its economy, and its technology. Philippines, US and the whole world can obsess over that ship all they want. If China one day feels strong enough, and that it wants to do so, it can easily dominate that whole area, nevermind if that ship is standing or not.

Yes, the ship itself is only a proxy for the political struggle. Instead of focusing on how to remove a particular ship, people should focus on the pressure being applied to the Philippines. Philippines is not in a good spot right now, squeezed from all sides by much bigger players. It's not unique, but it is under the most pressure right now. How it deals with the situation will have ripple effects on the area going forward.
Marcos Jr. is impotent and an idiot for maybe believing on the b.s. that Ursula expressed during her visit to the country. Instead of asking and even gaining a guarantee of actual ECONOMIC INVESTMENTS FROM EU in exchange for siding with their ANTI-CHINA policy, Marcos enthusiastically and idiotically accepted EU rhetorical b.s. EU as an entity does not have its own military to speak of and yet Ursula spewed her garbage with such confidence that it fooled the idiot flunky from Oxford, Marcos Jr.
well, the soldiers on the ship could subscribe to China Telecom to enjoy 5G internet, LOL.
The irony is we have no say, the one imposing their will on us is not the US, it's our political elites and oligarch.
