Why are you here?

I understand there are a couple white guys in this forum. the rest are either chinese or foreign chinese.
So, people who are here. would you tell me why you are here?
first, tell us who you are, either chinese or none chinese, and where you are (because this affects your english and mind)
then, please tell us, why you are so interested in chinese military and decide to stay in this forum.

first, i myself.
i am chinese, who lives in canada. i am also a ...i don't know the word in english, i am the guy who does the work of arranging the threads, and keep the peace in the threads in chinese military forum. because i like chinese military and my friend asked me to come here, so here i am, to see how you white guys think about chinese military.

so why are you here????

not all non-chinese members here are white, there's popeye, and there are indians on here too, anywayz, you bring up a good point, we need to attract more non-chinese members too.

i'm chinese canadian. i lived in canada a lot longer than i did in china, got a lot of family serving in the military and thinking of possibly doing that myself later on after i get my degree. so it's in the blood to be here.

Well i'm white (a real paleface ) and i have been interested in all military matters for long time now....china has come along among the rest of the countryes...reason why i'm in this particular forum is that i was sort of stucked in here...i came along in the early days of the ezboard forum to discuss about artillery...then i just couldn't leave....

too bad you can't serve in china. i am thinking of joining army reserves in my hometown next summer i am back.

im still chinese, although i live in canada right now and have been here for almost 5 years now. im in the process of getting my canadian citizenship, or at least my dad is getting it for me because im under 18 therefore i don't have to take the citizenship test (my dad takes it for me):roll:.

im here because im interested in how well china is doing in military. i read all the semi-BS from all sorts of newspapers and stuff so i want to know the truth (or at least something less BS-ish).

btw i seriously hate the fat white security guard at the US embassy in vancouver, i have nothing against US really, just that his attitude makes him seem to believe he's the superior kind and we're all slaves... (and need i say they refused me to go to disneyland )

I'm technically a American. I was born in the States to Taiwanese parents and spent most of my childhood there before moving to Taiwan. I came back to the States a few months ago to go to college (Hopefully UM). I don't have Taiwanese citizenship, though.

I'm on this board because... I like to participate in military discussions, and it seems to be one of the more active ones that isn't all bullshit.

if you're not majoring in engineering, business, or economics, it is very possible that you can find a cheaper, better university.

Why am I'm here? it started in my quest for knowledge about a possible PLAN CV/LPH program. Which is still a mysetry to us all. I stumbled on the old forum and some other forums. All seem to be boasting a reversed "PS" photo of a USN Nimitz class in Newport News. Of course the poster claim it was proof of the PLAN building a CV....That peaked my intrest. That was in April 2005.

I've always been intrested in Asia. Espically China ever since Pres Nixon "opened" China to the US and the rest of the world with trade. I was on the USS Midway in Hong Kong in Feb.'74 when Pres Nixon sent Alexander Haig to Beijing. That was big news in Hong Kong. I remember the loacls in Hong Kong were very happy about the trip.

After reading this forum and doing some research online I found out that I did not know as much as I thought I did.

I really enjoy this program. i just wish some of you were a little more more mature. That's all.

I'm a Black American. My ex-wife is from the Philippines.

I am always looking for a chance to learn more about the military gear of the world. I have always felt that as an American (non Asian in decent ) , China has the potential to be the USA's best friend or Greatest foe, Under the right circumstances.That and i needed some Chinese weapons back ground for a Mecha (giant Robot) story I am working on.
Incidentaly any one know what the PLA would call a walking tank ( if one were real)?

terran:
so what you mean is a....gaint roboot with two legs, and two "arms" as ...6 barreled machine gun? which walks around and firing bullets and rockets? is that kind of gaint robot? and controled by man?
