China's rumoured long term expansion plan

Right now Afghanistan is not a priority for China. They would rather want Pakistan to deal with Afghanistan.

On the other hand, the Communist Party of China has prioritized the "6 Must Wars" that it will wage in the Next 50 Years:

1 Unify Taiwan by 2020-2025
2 Recover South China Sea Islands by 2025-2030
3 Recover Southern Tibet from India by 2035-2040
4 Recover Diaoyu Islands by 2040-2045
5 Unification of Inner & Outer Mongolia by 2045-2050
6 Regain Russian Territory in Far East by 2055-2060

Solid plan right there (I doubt it's real but what the hell, right?)

PLA had released a book in 2013 entitled ‘China Is Not Afraid — New Threats to National Security and Our Strategic Responses’, (中国不怕——国防安全新威胁与我们的战略应对).

They suggested 6 inevitable wars that China will fight till 2060.

Since China is going from strength to strength it is quite possible that they will achieve these objectives within the forecast period. Notice that they have arranged their priorities taking into account the relative strength of their adversaries. So Taiwan comes first and Japan and Russia towards the end.

We had no intention too and I'll wager neither had USSR. China did invade a nuclear armed USSR in 1969.

Already a large Chinese population has flooded the Russian Far East. They might not have to fire a single shot to take over eastern Russia.

The other timelines are funny given the power differential China can easily take over Taiwan, parts of India, Diaoyu and Outer Mongolia.

China took over a large part of India and India couldn't do a thing.

Pakis are claiming that they shot down Soviet fighter jets. That aside, why would the USSR deploy bombers without supporting them with fighters knowing fully well that Pakistan Air Force is already targeting Soviet bombers.

I'll ask this, is this an official document? If so, then Russians are fully aware. But I find it interesting it's at a .au (Australian) site. So chances of it being BS is very large.

And no, China would get nuked if they try to take Siberia. They would lose far more than they could ever gain. Their "advancements" are mostly in show or economics.

I think you are spreading fud. But you normally do that

This rumours about China long term expansion plan , I do not believe it . Basically all borders between nuclear armed states are fixed . China , Russia , India , Pakistan etc . Even non-nuke armed states such as Japan or Iran more or less safe , since Japan warned N.Korea of Nuke development , in case of further escalation . Similarly no border dispute between Russia or Japan over Islands or border dispute between Pakistan or Iran . Israel border also fixed .These borders are nuclear fixed .

Some positive news about Tajik pushing pashtuns out of panjshir.......

With the exception of Russia and India the other countries with which China has a border dispute do not have nuclear weapons. China OTOH as articulated by their own media plans to increase their nuclear stockpile drastically. So they can easily lauch a a decapitation strike against both India & Japan.  Furthermore, China has tied down these countries with local failed states like Pakistan & North Korea.

Already China has taken over large tracts of land in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan and is now targetting Bhutan.

They first send millions of Chinese to these countries as labour. Later they claim that Chinese labours are indigenous people of those areas. That's how they take over their land. I suspect the Chinese will do the same in Afghanistan as well by settling Chinese in the Wakhan corridor over a period of time and eventually taking it over.

Even if you have thousands of nuclear weapons you cannot stop such Chinese aggression.

If true, this is good news.

Well these chinese that flooded Siberia must be really small. Or invisible.

Correct, neither of you did and there's a reason for that (several thousand reasons, both fission and fusion ones)

Only thing large Chinese population is flooding is Chinese Pacific coast where 80% of them are crammed together

You don't even need nukes to exterminate China anymore, several missiles into critical infrastructure is enough, after that you just let famine, dehydration, disease and societal collapse do the work for you

Chinese know this and so do Americans, why do you think Chinese are hell bent on building the Navy and Americans developed sudden intermediate range missile boner?

This meme is getting old, there's more Koreans in East Russia than Chinese

Check the map to see which countries have border with China and how big

There are more chinese.people in Moscow than in all of Siberia region.

I'm still unsure where this meme came from. There are barely any Chinese in eastern Russia.

Actually, you are replying to rtn, I believe I have already proved this morning wrong on more than one occasion on this very comment. So he is just repeating nonsense.

This here is people who can't distinguish Koreans from Chinese. All slant eyed people must be Chinese.... So they assume it's Chinese flocking into Russia. What little does such morons don't know, is Russia has strict immigration laws. They don't have open border with China. They have open trade and at border visas. But not open border. They still have fences, walls and soldiers at the borders.

Having a list of countries to invade with a schedule sounds rather more like the US than the Chinese.

The Chinese probably have a few conflicts they might see as needing attention and certain periods of time when those conflicts could best be sorted out by whatever means.

BTW Sujoy, China is currently expanding its nuclear weapons capacity because the US has withdrawn from the INF treaty for the specific purpose of positioning enormous numbers of ballistic and cruise based IR missiles... IRBM and IRCM in the pacific area around China for the express purpose of applying pressure on China and try to restrict her growth.

Obviously the immediate reaction from China is going to be to reciprocate and produce not just IRBMs and IRCMs to counter them, but also MRBM and ICBMs to directly target the US in response.

Trump wanted to be able to add Chinas nuclear weapons with Russias nuclear weapons so the US could justify having more, but that was never going to work because China would want as many nukes as the US in that case which means they are going to be making new warheads for quite some time to come... a real threat to India who likely could not afford such an arms race, as well as Japan and South Korea who might decide they need their own nukes... wonder how Australia will feel about Japanese Nukes... and lots of other countries in the region will be rather upset by such a development too... including China and Russia...

China can do exactly the same thing to Japan and India if not Russia. With an economy larger than all these 3 countries they can easily afford it.

ALAMO wrote:China is a huge country, with most of its interior actually depopulated.
They have no need for any territorial expansion, including the run for resources.

China became huge through forceful occupation. It was not even among the top 10 countries by area after WW-II but invaded Western parts and Tibet citing bogus Hun history to occupy those areas.

China continues to demand more areas from Japan, Philippines, Vietnam and India.

ALAMO wrote:They own half of Africa already, and there are tons of Chinese in Africa.
Not a single shot was needed.

That's correct. And how did China end up owning half of Africa without "a single shot was needed"? Through deceit. That's what China is doing across Asia.

Honorary Russians must be cross eyed then.

Must be the foreign forces like Tibetian, Uyghurs whose land is now forcefully occupied by China, illegally.

US withdrawal from the INF Treaty and subsequent deployment of nuclear missiles in the West Pacific will impose zero impact on China’s nuclear deterrence. Hypersonic boost-glide missiles being developed by the US Army, because the boost-glide missiles — with a different trajectory from ballistic and cruise missiles — were never subjected to the INF Treaty anyways.

Chinese IRBM and IRCMs are directed towards Asian countries like India and to a limited extent Japan but they pose no threat to the US or Europe.
