Greetings all, it has been a while. I have said sense about about 2005 that china would be the most dominate power in Asia by 2010 and have the capability to defeat any power on earth within the 1st island chain. Yes, china has done that. How?
1. Money, massive national wealth. along with the ability to cripple other economies
2. A focus sense 1991 to grow its military in technology and very very good training.
3. U.S pentagon or the rest of the world has no idea what the PRC true military capabilities are. Situational awareness is in the PRCs favor, They know what is in the region and at same time can keep others in the dark as to what they are doing.
4. The combined forces of the PRC Navy, airforce and army could sink any ship in the first island chain within hrs and could threaten carrier groups out to the second chain fairly easy.
5. The PRC could prevent sea access at will to prevent resupply and military operations out to the second chain.
6. The PRC could launch massive corp level amphibious/airborne operations within the 1st island chain.
7. Air defense, the PRC could prevent all but the best stealth aircraft from getting within 100 miles of the mainland while at the same time can counter with direct air and tactical missile strikes against any power in the first island chain and sustain moderate strikes to the 2nd chain.
8. Massive industrial power to quickly produce and or continue long term military operations.
9. people power, 1.3 billion people=tons of talent and the best of the best in terms of quality management of personal.
10. Last but not least, The PRC is a Nuclear power with pretty good space denial capabilities. End gamer
