China's growing power casts doubt on US defense of Taiwan

[Islamic Holy Sites]

..I don't think so.

They are. The only strategic bombers the PLAAF has are the H-6 and they're just a license built version of the Soviet Tu-16. They're badly outdated in that field.

Ah, alright then. Thanks for explaining.

Policemen are kind and helpful. America is the world's bully, terrorizing the civilized world for decades. It's high time someone saves the world from them.

“Saves” is an interesting choice of diction.

China will “save” us from the United States in the meet the new boss, the same as the old boss sense of “save”. I give it excellent odds that China will start terrorising the world just like the US currently does as soon as it becomes capable of doing so.

Hong Kong is a prelude.

Which, to be fair, have been upgraded over the years. And America's B-52 is just as old. But still, much of China's aerial arsenal is still 50+ year old license-built Soviet designs.

Strategic bombers can carry cruise missiles or ballistic missiles with a range of more than 2000 km to carry out strike missions outside the defense zone. Why are they suicide squads?Fly overhead and bomb dropping is half a century out of date

China's bombers are half a century out of date.

B-52 is used from 1955.Even the B-2 has been in service for more than 20 years.This is the era of missiles. Bombers only need to be able to carry missiles of enough size

H-6 evolves from Cold War relic to Beijing’s hammer
Strangely enough, the Pentagon's assessment of the H-6 did not ignore it.Because it can carry ALBM, it doesn't need to leave China's border to attack Guam

all strategic bomber forces are suicide squads, next

Modern strategic bombers are nuclear strike craft first, and anything else second. If there's ever a nuclear war, most of them are toast, whether they get caught on the ground or shot down on the way to their targets or just run out of fuel searching for somewhere to land when they make it back and find their base's runway has recently had a 500-kiloton remodeling job.

Yeah, the updated H-6 is pretty capable and should be able to be useful for a while yet. But if an H-6 (or a B-52) gets into contested airspace against even a near-peer-level adversary, well... the USAF has some experience with that over Hanoi, and it was not pretty.

As for ALBMs, well... if missiles are supplanting the bomber anyways, at a certain point someone's probably going to ask whether it's worth it to keep operating these big, expensive, polluting, old, dangerous machines, when you could just build a slightly better missile and stick it on the back of a truck or a train.

If Taiwan fell to China, it will cast a big doubt to USA's military prowess. It's simple answer.

Historical background is heavily involved here, after all. US pledged to defend Taiwan (or co-defend Taiwan with Taiwanese government in this case). It will also cast doubt on US's ability to keep their...vow or promise, maybe?

I'm sure the US wouldn't mind breaking yet another promise to avoid a war with China.

We may never know whether they would or wouldn't mind.

I can't tell if this is serious or not so i'll just say the US has on average less death camps than China.

Amenria lives (or maybe lived, idk it has been a long time) in China, and he finds that his experience being there overall is a positive one, so that should tell you something.

On the last part, agreed.

So more like:

The world: You saved us!

China: I wouldn't say saved, more like 'under new management'.

Average less death camps are still death camps.

As an Australian I am worried about China. They've been threatening and sanctioning my country, and to be honest, I don't think the US can do much. The US needs to take action now, or it is never going to work.

The US won't do anything with Biden (CCP's bitch) in charge.

Biden is not "CCP's bitch". Stop watching Fox News and OANN.

...And there you have it, folks. The declining power of the US and the growing might in China. We are seeing history repeat itself, here. Empires are shifting and Taiwan is no doubt an ambition for itself to conquer. This would be an injury to US pride, being the world policeman which is why Taiwan is priority for us. None of us want war, but it seems to be more inevitable within the next few decades.

China will do whatever it can to win this competition whether through military or economic might as it already has been doing. They'll use politics & rhetoric to get their way in world affairs. Taiwan is a special case.

The only "good" that would come out of this if war does ensure somehow, is the Chinese Civil War would conclude as much like the Korean War, it technically still on a legal basis is still happening despite no fighting as both the ROC & PRC view one another as rebels against the state that must be suppressed.

I just hope and pray things turn for the best no matter what.

This is like saying Nazi Germany should have more international.

It's interesting how you claim to be so devoted to Islam while actively supporting a country that's trying to outlaw it and leading a genocide against an Islamic ethnic group.

Are you jokeing? Biden is a puppet of the establishment dems, not the CCP. Trump was China's bitch via total failure to do anything to contain them.

It was all a show! A lie! A campaign lie to get you to vote for Trump. Everything afterwards was also just a show. The tarrfis Trump did failed to do anything. It was the Maginot Line of defending against China's cheep shit. China went around it by bulding most of the shit they sold in China then moved it to Vietnam for the last bit. Slap a made in Vietnam sticker on it and boom, tarrif bypassed.


Shitholes comment just made Africa go towards the CCP.
Google China spending in Africa.

The fact you are still here buying the bullshit proves that Trump was very good at acting like he was doing anything more then clowning around failing to stop China.

I feel like it's less of an effort by China to outlaw Islam and more of an effort to forcibly sinicize the Uyghur people. If they truly want to outlaw Islam then they should also be prosecuting the Hui population in China.

It's interesting no Islamic country believes that these accusations are true.The United States and European countries seem to be using this as an excuse to launch an Islamic Jihad Against China without participation of Islamic countries

International diplomacy just doesn’t revolve around someone privately saying somethings a shithole, in the real world (outside NS and Twitter) it’s inconsequential. Personal feelings are a none-factor in diplomacy, it’s actually insulting to the intelligence of African leaders that you think they’d subjugate themselves under Chinese neocolonialism because of one remark.

China’s growing influence in Africa was not suddenly spurred on by Trump, it’s been happening for the last 11 years. If you wanted to impulsively blame people than you might put it on the entire western world which assumed China would democratise with the free market and wouldn’t be a threat.

Technically, both sides are still at war. Because the two sides have neither signed any peace agreement nor issued any armistice statement since 1946.The de facto cease-fire between the two sides will wait until 1979..
