Video: Why a strong military is of the utmost importance to China

China and Pakistan had their own reasons for becoming US allies and considered that step beneficial for their own interests.
India is most important for the 21st century because it's the most likely candidate to replace the US as the leader of democratic countries.

Like the US and India aren't motivated by self-serving interests? Is that why everyone owes the US because American motives were purely altruistic?

After the U.S. leaves Afghanistan, they may as well leave Pakistan as well and closing their cheque book at the same time. Let them go cap in hand to China as their all weather friend to replace the lost funding. Im sure they will be very successful.......not.

Puzzling how despite all the sh t they have had to take, the U.S. was Pakistans biggest aid donor a couple of years back during those disatrous floods. Chinas contribution was decidely measly in comparison.


Futhermore , has China ever been impeded from gaining access to the worlds trade routes?

And why is that? Because the US dropped a loyal ally when they didn't need them anymore.

And the answer is that's why China has a strong military because you wouldn't try without suffering the consequences.

Would China maintain strong ties with every country it's been building rapports with after 10 years of wars that occurred thousands of miles from home? Well that's a stupid question because China isn't an imperialist power is it? So how can they possibly understand America?

Well that's pretty hypocritical since the notion of gratitude was just brought up by those that are complaining none is given.

Americas greatness is much more than that and many countries show a lack of gratitude for what America has given them. Eg Pakistan but considering you are more interested in focussing on the military aspects, its just as well that the USA has a powerful military/navy. Hu's recent statement in telling his navy "to prepare for war,"(Dec 2011) makes a farce in their claim of a "peaceful rise". Much to the relief of us who prefer freedom and democracy It has allowed the U.S. to increase her presence in the South China seas and Pacific, to counter any moves on the part of China to claim any territory she casts her covetous eyes upon, the second island chain for example.

If people like you are afraid of what China is doing, then China is moving in the right direction.

China doesn't have a sh-t show of wining a war against the U.S.this century, if ever and the victor gets to write the history books.

Its not lack of gratitude, the pakistanis have demonstrated more than once that Americas presence is unwelcome, so they would only be obliging.

1. No one here, except you, mentioned war between US and China

2. Wars are won and lost on far more than military budget and the latest weapons.

3. It's against the rules of this forum to pit one country against another.

What utter nonsense on every level.

Hu never said 'prepare for war' as has already been pointed out. It seem more like an intentional mistranslation by the usual suspects to hype up their China-threat agenda to try and justify their own ridiculously inflated defense budgets.

The level of bias and amenity you obviously hold towards China is clear for all to see, and it is fast approaching trolling levels of blind hatred that I have little interest in waste my time with as I cannot see how any attempt to reason with someone who thinks like this will yield anything but more hate filled diatribe.

China doesn't have a sh-t show of wining a war against the U.S.this century, if ever and the victor gets to write the history books. But then again the Amercians could decimate the attacking planes, sink a large number of surface units and subs, but the chinese will still claim a victory if they manage to get one strike on a U.S. carrier

You can almost see the war mongering hunger in your words, and it paints an ugly picture.

Perhaps you would care to refresh your history, since if you think China doesn't doesn't have a sh-t show of wining a war against the U.S.this century now, I wonder what you reckon China's chances were in 1950? How exactly did that work out for America?

A war between China and America will be a complete disaster for everyone on this planet, and only a total moron would crave it.

Whatever your problem is, deal with it like an adult, because if you keep behaving like a spoilt troll, people will start treating you as one.
