China's Military and Geopolitics

During the last incident they were fighting with hands. 20 indians deads and (unofficial) 40 chineses.

Yes, but that isn't a war. That was a mob gang fight. Of course they would fight with hand to hands. And the deaths are attributed to soldiers falling off cliffs. Not from breaking necks like they are Steven Seagal.

If a "war" ever broke out, they would be shooting each other and hand to hand becomes useless.

Yeah I know. I was pointing out why the propaganda move (sending the martial art guy there) was made. ==> because they fought with hands and stupid media are probably quoting some stupid retired soldier talking about how their martial arts are better than the other's....

You know, total stupidity.

Not a single dead body of a PLA soldier was found. Those Indians made up those figures. China has not accepted that figure of 40 either.

Chinese are not reliable either.

If india had 20 deads you can expect deads on the other side too.

Maybe the Indians have also lost more than 20 soldiers. They are not disclosing it.

Chinese state media is also saying the same thing. That PLA is sending martial artists to Ladakh

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.

They may deploy more fighters if need be-this may be an advance party.

Pakistan and China have entered a three-year deal to expand potential bio-warfare capabilities

Chinese amphibious armoured personnel carrier. Unique feature - allows soldiers to jump off before it starts to sink.


Chinese amphibious armoured personnel carrier

A few weeks ago the american version sunk with 8 or 9 dead soldiers as a result.

Unfortunate... but it happens.

That was flat water... they obviously didn't have the trim vane set properly or perhaps the bilge pumps were not doing their job and got swamped... but everyone sitting on top in life jackets is standard procedure because this happens...

By controlling the southern flank of the waters near Taiwan, China is preparing for an encirclement that would, as its most important components, not be a potentially disastrous Normandy-style invasion. Any invasion attempt would include military pressure as well as cyberattacks aimed at paralyzing Taiwan’s crucial infrastructure.

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.
