China's Military and Geopolitics

Wasn't it Enter the Dragon, where Bruce Lee was going to an island to fight some bad guys and he asked where the guns were.... experts know better than anyone else that you can spend decades learning to fight and becoming a master at a variety of fighting skills, but any idiot can be handed a shot gun loaded with buckshot and drop you from 20m away and there is not much you can do about it...

The point is that in this case the enemies are not idiots on either side... being trained in hand to hand fighting gives you confidence, but even a pistol or a knife makes much more sense.

I saw a documentary the other day that was actually quite good where they got trained fighters (trained with old weapons) to fight it out with weapons made safe but with referees checking for hits and scores and potential injuries. The spear was vastly superior to any kind of sword simply because you could reach and stab him and with your sword... even a long sword you can't reach and stab him... you can only deal with his spear...

Most RPG gamers would be crushed to learn this but it is true.

Equally 10,000 trained ninjas would not defeat 500 soldiers with assault rifles in the mountains... most of the time there is no way to sneak up on positions... and falls and avalanches and the cold are just as dangerous as bullets and hands and feet.

In fact at altitude the real danger is actually feet or should I say metres... pulling a trigger is much easier that climbing around and physically fighting someone in such conditions.

Western propaganda telling us not to believe Chinese propaganda...

Americans are more willing to die for their country because they get more practise?

Really?

Sadly, this is the fault of the west... traditionally the CIA has infiltrated countries by buying up or influencing their news media, which has resulted in the undermining of the free press and abuses of power.

They do the same with religion too.

Of course the west will squeal about these laws, just like they squeal about the rights of a free press... except RT and Sputnik and of course Julian Assange.

Certain religions and media are not to be interfered with... we will tell you which.

If India had any brains they would order a new aircraft carrier to be built by China and get weapons and systems installed from Russian and Indian companies....

She may be able to do it only after she stops claiming disputed border areas, accepts PRC control over Tibet, kicks Dalai Lama out, improves relations with Pakistan, cuts ties with Taiwan & stops exercising with US & Japan.

All those conditions... China is starting to sound like the US... it is little wonder they generally buy from Russia...
