What would be the Chinese Defence Strategy against Alien Attack?
- Thread starter ABC78
- Start date
How do you know aliens don't live on melamine or e-coli? Maybe they'll say thanks and continue blasting away.
More like they'll say thanks, we finally found the stuff we've been looking for all along. Now be our servants and produce more of them.

In my tentative years of watching Sci-Fi and other years studying Military technology and Geopolitics, it all goes down to one question, "What are the Aliens?" I mean, if they're hyperintelligent and hyperadapative, than you can probably kiss your ass good bye as if you aren't able to wipe them out in one swipe, they'd adapt. But if they're "human intelligent" but only possesses advanced technologies, than we have a chance as our brain powers are on par, the only difference would be what we have and what we do with it.
If an Alien attack happens to China (something tells me enslaving 1.3 billion people is more attractive than enslaving 300 million), and let me be clear, unless the Aliens in question don't have the technology to "spot" the highest tech location on Earth, they'd probably go for the most resource rich location, if it's raw materials, depends on what they want, but candidates would be: Southern Africa, India, Australia, U.S. and China. But, if it's humans they want, East Asia is the prime candidate, so I'll assume that:
1. The Aliens have similar brain chemistry as us
2. The Aliens have more advanced technologies than us
3. The Aliens are attacking to enslave us
4. China will be the first to be invaded
Aliens are not dumb, they usually aren't, unless they're some long-living species that are a tad slow (like that one episode of ST:TNG). So, unless military tactics evolve passed Sun Tzu's logic and the lessons learned from those 2 latter millenniums of warfare, they'd probably start their invasion with a classic American Shock N' Awe campaign, I'm guessing, massed EMP attacks and a Mass driver campaign (I.E. towing small meteoroids and crashing them on select locals). To be frank, chances are, even the hardest bunkers, will be destroyed, so the Nuclear Option is down.
Then comes the Air Dominance campaign. Assuming their Carbon-based lifeforms and require Oxygen like we do, they probably prepared Aircrafts capable of Endoatmospheric and Exoatmospheric flight, i.e., eject off the Mothership's bay, soother along into the Atmosphere, and preform like a well played dogfighter. Sci-fi theorists who think that Aliens will use Lasers or Plasma beams are idiots. They'd probably use high-performance, long range missiles (because they are autonomous and can track targets, unlike dumb lasers that go in one direction), but granted, they'd probably use high-powered lasers for Ground attack or Dogfighting.
In my scenario, chances are, every plane on Earth, that is flying, F-22s, T-50s, J-20s, etc, will get shot down at ~500 km away. Not even a chance. Once they've cleared the skies, they'd launch strike crafts and then destroy strategic ground and naval locals. Most notably, even the mighty USN's 100,000 tonne investment will be sunk without much of a challenge, Submarines, even the quietest ones, will be toppled over by bombardments from above. In my scenario, the only thing left is Man and Army. We can discuss tactics later, but it'd be a hard fight.

Very good points, thanks.
But it reads "more human than alien"; more like "non-human race with american spirit"... I mean, sure, "a good fight" for the invading aliens is maybe like a fox-hunting-sports, they enjoy the pleasure of "fight in style" - which is what you described.
In all, one "toy" another, like we "toy" cattle (I want use "dog", but it might start a culture dispute) - you can mercifully keep one or two for pet; you can also rightfully kill a billion for day-to-day food. Not saying they eat human for food, just make a point "they can wipe us out for fun".
Again, "fight in style" is one thing, "doing the business of wipe human out" is another - Bio weapon, drop to earth, those you want, keeps; those you don't want, dead (ie, human) - like bio science treatment to your corn field, keeps the corn and wipe out the pest (human).
If this thread is si-fi for fun, then I would happy to read more of any creative discussion of us "child's play" against we-though-they-are-THAT-dumb kind of aliens.
If this thread is serious enough, I sugguest change the title (and attitude) of "What China is going to do...", into... like this is whole mankinds problem / crysis.
To make a start (of what exactly I means) - the movie, Battle for LA, everyone is talking about the "realism" of american operational facts / capability... it is a not-worthy-mention rubbish, for si-fi. (or, "what alien is going to do to invade us, and what we are going to do to fight back) - THAT, is my attitude, of this thread.

Yeah, logic states that if there are belligerent aliens out there, chances are they won't fight fair, and they won't fight like humans. They'd probably poison our food with some gene that creates instant Cancers in whomever eats it, killing all 7 billion of us over night, and then inhabiting our world like nothing ever happened. Your safest bet is to hide; or get better technologies. But both are dependent on new technologies, which is dependent on time and human ingenuity. So yeah, for the moment, chances are, we're screwed, all of us.

other than watch the guy next to us gets beamed then stare in shock and await where the next beam will land, hopefully not on us. doesn't matter if it's my lawyer.

i just hope aliens dont eat melamine and e-coli for breakfast. maybe above all else, aliens will die from soy sauce...and then at that point on, oriental cultures will be saved. we'll watch people flock to supermarkets to buy soy sauce then

the only thing i liked about your post is the american-spirit thing, which is quite funny.
