This guy is completely insane:
PLA Strategy in a Taiwan Contingency
- Thread starter pugachev_diver
- Start date
The Taiwan issue is completely seperate from the Israel/Palestine conflict. So I don't know what kind of connection you are trying to make when suggesting Chinese policy decisions regarding Israel.
The reality is that both Israel & Palestine are irrelevant to China, their existance is the same as their absence.
The reason for China's diplomatic support for the Palestinian cause is firstly for humanitarian reasons & secondly because that gives China a good standing and image among the Arab & wider muslim world (the muslim people not the governments, since some of the Arab leaders are agents of the US).
so Chinese support for Palestine will not go beyond using the veto at the UNSC & speaking in favor of the Palestinians at the UN & that's about it, but there will be no major Chinese interference in the issue.
The US will not fire a single bullet against China in defence of Taiwan. And if they do all their bases in east Asia will be destroyed. The reason why China is not already using military force to regain Taiwan is due to fear of sanctions. China's number one priority is for the Chinese people to live a comfortable and prosperous life.
everyone including Taiwan sepratists, the US, Japan and to a less extent China is content with the status quo.
The reason why the US are trying to creat some sort of an Asian NATO is not to launch some sort of a war against China. instead the US wants to control everything in East Asia except China. That is just as how the US used the "Russia threat" to scare the Europeans into willingly becoming vassals of the US. The US wants to use the "China threat" to scare all East Asians into becoming vassals of the US.
IMO when China's economy is fully developed that will be the point when China will initiate military reunification so probably during the 2040s.
can you point out where in that document it states or hints that? I read it and could not get that message.
Atmospheric loading on the missile booster during a depressed flight is significantly higher, which degrades the accuracy of the RV; makes it hard to achieve the precision required for counterforce targeting of hardened or deeply buried targets. The accuracy of these trajectories (shown in the trajectory parameters table - the CEP values too large), is not sufficient for counterforce.
Shorter flight time (<7 minutes) doesn't allow for sufficient time to complete the MIRV deployment before reentry.
Some of these constraints can be overcome (MIRV buses could potentially be redesigned to work with these constraints) with advances in technology but on the whole its not reliable enough.
He thinks the real world is a turn-based game where one side shoots and the other side isn't allowed to do anything lol
