Who Would Win A War In The South China Sea: The Pentagon Infographic
Back in May we highlighted an infographic showing how China stacks up, from the perspective of maritime military might, to its neighbors and to the US.
The context (of course), is the ongoing dispute over China’s land reclamation project in the South China Sea where Beijing has constructed, at last count, some 3,000 acres of sovereign territory atop reefs in the Spratlys.
As we detailed on Friday, the US and its regional allies say it’s an illegitimate attempt to redraw maritime boundaries and project military supremacy while China claims it’s simply doing what other countries in the region have been doing for years. Should the situation escalate from a war of words to a war of bullets and missiles, here’s a reminder - from the Pentagon’s new Asia Pacific Maritime Security Strategy report - of how the potential combatants match up.
From the Pentagon:
China is modernizing every aspect of its maritime-related military and law enforcement capabilities, including its naval surface fleet, submarines, aircraft, missiles, radar capabilities, and coast guard. It is developing high-end technologies intended to dissuade external intervention in a conflict and designed to counter U.S. military technology. Although preparation for a potential Taiwan conflict remains the primary driver of Chinese investment, China is also placing emphasis on preparing for contingencies in the East and South China Sea. China sees a need for the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) to be able to support China’s “new historic missions” and operational tasks outside the first island chain with multi-mission, long-range, sustainable naval platforms equipped with robust self-defense capabilities. Although quantity is only one component of overall capability, from 2013 to 2014, China launched more naval vessels than any other country. The PLAN now possesses the largest number of vessels in Asia, with more than 300 surface ships, submarines, amphibious ships, and patrol craft.

No one would want to live in the world that followed.
No matter who won.
Looks like China will blow Itself up first. One thing at a time.
The last I heard, about a year ago, China was busy building at least a hundred additional nuclear power stations. If they're run like their chemical-storage warehouses (backed by government hacks, bending the rules) they'll nuke themselves, saving someone else the trouble and expense.
(Just don't buy any food from that area)
The US maintains military bases in Okinawa, Japan and S Korea, with newer facilities in the Philippines. There are also plans to permanently station American warships at the naval base in Darwin, Australia. Should hostilities break out in the S China Sea, one would assume that these facilities will be targeted by Chinese nuclear weapons. One would have thought the Japan learned something after the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Apparently they did not.

What did I win?
Zion is a scheme, not an ethnicity.
This is a submission of your intellect, liberalizing it is a demand.
I have some recollection of a Colin Powell doctrine advocating "overwhelming force". Would be challenging to implement here, it seems.
Clams of territorial waters ad EEZ must derive from land features an not exced 200 nautical miles. All states,including claimants have an obligation to promote and search for a peaceful esoluion of disputes. Jaw Ja is better than war war. Use link to see some interesting ICJ judgments and legal opinions on territrial waters and understand why China might be reluctant to go to arbitration: https://www.academia.edu/10574593/Falklands_Islands_Territorial_Waters

The Chinese have a role to play in the global economy, should they attempt to try and change the script, the government would be brought down via an "Asian spring". The government of the PRC is very vulnerable right now and it wouldn't take much to topple it
Thousands of Chinese fighter & bomber aircraft within range of their LAND BASES are not even on the graphic.
What about the Kikes?
any war with china will lead to nuclear exchange and can not be analized as regional
Typical ZH Russian propaganda to show how weak the US is... they're so weak, they're not even ON this "info"graphic. Nice frkin' omission! What a joke.
