China has keeped in peace nearly 30 years

China has keeped in peace nearly 30 years.As a part of national stratagem,in a long period,China will make a peaceful environment which can help the economy increasing rapidly.
And there is even not any actual reason can lead a war in easten world.
Have you ever think about it's possible that the latest advanced weapons of China such as J-10 or 094 will never be used in a real war until it retired.So what we discuss may be meaningless..........

Meaningless for real soldiers maybe. But very meaningful for us fans!

I would hope that's the case - certainly when it comes to nuclear platforms.

Part of the point of having capability is deterrence and hence peacekeeping.

I question the ability of nuclear weapons to contribute towards peacekeeping, because if two powers have them then it's not unlikely one will decide a war can be fought conventionally (as the other wouldn't want to start a nuclear holocaust). Then if one party gets desperate, there's the possibility of tens of millions of people dying unnecessarily.

The only thing nuclear weapons are actually useful for is to dissuade another nuclear power from using its WMD on you. Even then they can make you a target.

Bombs going off in East Turkestan doesn't sound very peaceful to me.

what the hell are you talking about???:nono:

Using one level of analysis, China avoided a major war; but using a different level of analysis, the PRC was involved, one way or the other, in many conflicts since getting the A-bomb: Korea stalemate, India (1962), on Soviet border (1969), Vietnam (1960s-1973, 1979), and - Sinkiang is just the latest chapter in this sequence!

Uighur and Turkic peoples uprisings still come up now and then.

Don't forget Tibet. There is nothing to call the Chinese invasion of Tibet but agression and conquest.

Other than that, China under the communists has not fought a war except to protect its vital interests and homeland. I don't think its earned its bad reputation.

then what do you call the Indian, British, and American actions in Tibet that directly let to it being trampled under the columns of the PLA?

I digress.
