China's SCS Strategy Thread

China has an interest in VN’s political stability. Any serious colour revolution should be opposed via assistance to the CPV if necessary.

If VN were to flip, the various islands would be the least of China’s concerns. VN has a land border with China, and plenty of coastline to stage missiles.

Americans are making their movies while it seems that China is constantly stalling it’s own moves. China has big military… eventually it’s gotta use it before it’s too late. At this rate US military base in Taiwan is becoming more like by the day.

Even if the US were to build a military base in Taiwan, the war with Iran right now is proving that American military bases aren't invincible and can be very easily targeted by Iranian missiles so if Iran can hit a bunch of US military bases in the ME than whatever damage China can do to US military bases and infrastructure in the SCS is 100x worse than what Iran is doing right now in the ME AND that's with missiles alone.

This battle will undoubtedly offer significant lessons for the PLA.

It requires learning from both the attacking side's air strikes, especially the hunting of high-value targets, and how the defending side can counter decapitation strikes. It also necessitates learning from missile penetration and how to against Shahed's breakthroughs.

Before it's too late? I think you have China confused with America. Time is on China's side. America may get to set up a base in the ROC, but it won't change anything in terms of power balance and its progression.

I don't quite understand why there is so much optimism whenever China does nothing to protect its own interests and friendly governments under attack, preferring to watch from the sidelines with seemingly folded arms. Some members are happy to point out the copism and hopism on others, but tend to give China too much leeway.
As I have commented before, by doing nothing, China will watch its friends fall one by one, and soon may find itself standing all alone with all friends gone. A friend in need is a friend indeed. China should immediately send defensive weapons to Iran, NOW.
I am ready to read responses that may go like "but, but Iran has never been friendly to China, and never will" that kind of cope and hopism.

1. China's military was built firstly for defense, then it was expanded to fighting within Asia. We're not yet equipped to fight and win in the middle-east against the US. Do not enter a fight without expecting to win.

2. When there was time for Iran to build itself into a competent military power like Pakistan, it refused China's offer. There's no time so what can we send them that will make a difference, when they have not built any of the support web to make these machines effective? Nothing; they're untrained in these systems and they'll get destroyed, which will be a PR victory for the US.

3. We can do things covertly like training some of them in China, helping to design their tunnel system, etc... and only if something went wrong would be hear about that on the news.

4. As the US deals with these countries, it takes time and resources. We take that time to outgrow the US so that we may better face it tomorrow. So indirectly, the sacrifices of these nations buy China time to avenge them when our ideal power dynamic is reached. Until then, the masks should not all come off just yet when we are not fully ready to fight.

Basically everyone is China's friend. China's relationship is too good with europeans and americans and gulf arabs to send weapons to its active enemy Iran.

If the relationship was not good, why do you think China exports several 100 billion dollars worth of stuff. Why American and European companies operate in China. This is not the case for Iran and Russia.

The truth of the matter is that China is too happy to keep trading like this and doesn't want to challenge the west openly.

Yes, it will fight in its own backyard, but avoid supporting anyone outside its vicinity.

This is the long term strategy China has taken to keep growing economically with the help of western wealth. Essentially hide and bide strategy.

If China can keep for another 20 years without extreme western attacks on its economy, they can become bigger in gdp than US and EU combined.

China by then will have so much power that many countries under US boots will revolt and have governments that are anti-US and pro-China.

Essentially Chinese strength will allow them to be able fight back.

Yes, its a cowerdly strategy but ultimately a very wise decision.

Even if Iran falls, no matter, if situation is good then regime change can happen again and anti-US forces will rise again in Iran.

They can flip saudi arabia if the situation is right. They can flip a lot of countries overtime.

Albania and Vietnam. That’s why.
