What would be the Chinese Defence Strategy against Alien Attack?

China responds to Alien Attack

1. Military Outsourcing - If China was attacked by Aliens, China would appeal to the United States (with over 750 overseas military bases) to deal with the problem. No point in having 11 aircraft carrier battle groups if you're not going to use them. In short, Alien Attack is an U.S. problem. I'm pretty sure that China can muster enough U.N. support to get the Americans to do something.

Also, run some advertisements on American television and buy ads in the New York Times extolling the spirit of Sino-American cooperation during World War II against a common enemy. Find a surviving member of the Flying Tigers (or their relatives) and invoke the nostalgia of productive Sino-American joint efforts in a television interview. Poll numbers of American support for China should go straight up.

China could also offer to pay for U.S. war efforts on Chinese territory. One to two trillion dollars should be sufficient. Problem solved.

2. Cultural Soft Power - Moving on, aliens are unlikely to attack China. There is no other place in the galaxy to dine on delicious Dim Sum, Moo Shu Beef, and Peking Duck. The prospect of losing delicious Chinese cuisine is sufficient to halt any prospective alien attack.

3. Economic Incentive - China possesses a massive market for potential alien goods. It would be irrational for any intelligent alien to attack billions of their potential customers.

4. Strong Asset for Incorporation into Alien Empire - Once aliens discover China, they will quickly realize that they can produce their alien spacecraft in China at a fraction of current costs. No sentient being would attack a more efficient and lower-cost production base.

5. Deng comes to the rescue again! - Upon contact by a hostile alien race, China will follow Deng's strategy: "Hide your strength, bide your time, and do what you can." China can negotiate with the Alien invasion force and offer to pay annual tribute. This will buy time for China. After surreptitiously mastering alien technologies, China will kick the foreign imperialists out of the country in about one to two centuries.

Re: China responds to Alien Attack

A few important points:

1. If China was attacked by Aliens, China would appeal to the United States (with over 750 overseas military bases) to deal with the problem. No point in having 11 aircraft carrier battle groups if you're not going to use them. In short, Alien Attack is an U.S. problem.

5. Upon contact by a irrationally hostile alien race, China will follow Deng's strategy: "Hide your strength, bide your time, and do what you can." After mastering alien technologies, China will kick the foreign imperialists out of the country in about one to two centuries.


Brilliant.

If you are the alien, wouldn't you first take down the strongest of them all? So no worry alien won't attack China first. They will take out ATM, internet, fries all the chips around the world and disable those GPS/satellites first, wait for the world economy to collapse then come sit down with the rest of us have a cup of tea, some buns and talk business :)

This is actually a very interesting scenario, and for the sake of the exercise, let's take an alien invader that is similar to Zergs / Tyranids.

Here's the scenario:

A Xeno spore crashes in remote Siberia. The Xenos quickly begin consuming local resources (organic and inorganic), and builds a huge army before humanity even becomes aware of them. They then launch a 3-prong invasion: West toward Moscow and Europe, South toward China, and East toward Alaska.


Xeno characteristics:
- No orbital support. The initial spore crash is all they get.
- The Xenos can ingest both organic and inorganic matter and reproduce, breeding warriors and drones much like the Zerg. In fact, think of them as an almost total rip-off of Blizzard's IP, except without endless reinforcement from space. What forces they create, they have to make use of local resources. Unfortunately, they are extremely good at doing just that.
- It takes only a few hours for an entire clutch of Xeno warriors to be grown to functional size. A hive cluster can be established in as quickly as 24 hours.
- Key Xeno resources are organic matter and metals. Metals (especially iron) is incorporated into their exoskeleton making them highly resistant to small arms fire. They are also able to regenerate quickly.
- Xeno command is operated through a decentralized series of "synaptic nodes" that can communicate telepathically over vast distances.


Xeno Warrior Breeds:
- light infantry: small, dog sized (but infinitely more vicious) critters with exoskeletons that can withstand multiple gunshot wounds, and claws that can rip a man to shreds. Can be produced very quickly and in massive quantities. Able to run quickly, or climb upon buildings using its claws. These guys don't charge in ranks. They take advantage of whatever cover there is to attack from the most unexpected angles.

- heavy infantry: large, Tyrannosaurus-sized critters that can project razor sharp spines at a range, power and ROF comparable to assault rifles. Their heavy armor make them as durable as human tanks, while being much more maneuverable.

- light flyers: quick, eagle-sized critters with extremely high maneuverability and speed. Also able to fire razor sharp spines like an assault rifle. Has lighter armor that makes it less resistant to small-arms fire, though it still takes quite a few shots to bring them down.

- kamikaze flyers: living flying missiles, these pigeon sized critters have a relatively low maneuverability but extremely high speed, allowing them to chase down fighter jets. Upon impact, the blast power is strong enough to rip open tank armor, making them effective against armor as well.

- bio-titan: think of the monster in Cloverfield.

^ so basically zergling, hydralisk/roach, mutalisk, scourge, and ultralisk respectively? :p

(Counter with psi storm and immortals :D )

lol I though Bltizo doesn't play Starcraft 2 that much. So Do the alien have life expectancy. If they drop in siberia then they are resistant to cold. They must be furry.

^ I watch casts though, (huskysc).

I wonder why do these spore infection scenarios always involve Siberia or Europe? Couldn't Alaska or Canada work just as well?

Because then they'd be stuck on the American continent with only the narrow Bering strait to invade the rest of the world with, and that's no fun for what's supposed to be a world war.

And if the Aliens could colonize the sea, then they would be impossible to wipe out...

Oh and the Cloverfield monster is much more bad-ass than an Ultralisk. The cloverfield monster is like a land-based carrier.

What kills more efficiently? N, B or C?

I choose B (Biological weapon) all the times.

Gun shots, missile fire, ghost team infiltrate into alien base/mothership... Sure, enjoy your Sunday home theater of another movie-like alien invasion...

Guys, the technology gap between TWO HUMAN RACE, if it is greater than MERELY ONE HUNDRED years, one wipe out another. (Like what happens to american indians, but I will just stop here, no point talk more in that direction).The thing is, the universe is huge!

Tech gap is measured in million years...
Protoss like aliens? They can develop full scale of Bio weapon to wipe human or earth life out, like we wipe variola out, before we even aware what's happening.

Zerg like aliens? They can travel through universe, they can surely adapt earth's environment in no time once they reached earth, and develop what ever virus / spore, to wipe out the local life form (No need to "eat your enemy", just plague them)

Mass effect like aliens, "civililized contact"? Simply put, we are on their mercy, which I don't count much. They still deal the "Krogon Rebelian" with Bio weapon, remember? And the "Human is one of the big fish", is just wishful thinking.

Sober-minded "people-in-this-business", all warned us of alien contact. - We simply can not afford it.

maybe china will respond with chinese tank type-xx, a combination of emperor overlords+ propaganda tower+seige mode, while apcs will come with 8 chinese zhangs(instead of joes), combined with inferno cannons that can transform into thors. even the z-8 has a tail that resembles the banshee's engine....i guess we can all see where this is gonna go. and don't worry, china has 50million + men who won't be having wives, so it's a gd time to rebalance the books
