China is not afraid of fighting a war with the US in the South China Sea, a newspaper with close links to the government said on Wednesday
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/11959421/China-not-afraid-to-fight-war-with-US-after-South-China-Sea-move.html

China is setting itself up to be repeatedly provoked in the disputed waters—it might even be counting on it.

All any nation needs to go to war is a good provocation, and China is no exception. With its sweeping territorial claims, island-building, militarization, patriotic fervor, and prickly rhetoric, Beijing is setting itself up to be repeatedly provoked in the South China Sea—it might even be counting on it.All any nation needs to go to war is a good provocation, and China is no exception.

To acquire the sea’s strategic advantage, though, China first needs to establish control over the waterway. That needs to be done step by step. The process might go something like this:
1.Make the sea claim.
2.Create outposts in the sea, and work toward turning them into military bases. At this stage, you might want to deny the military bit.
3.Express outrage if anyone goes near those outposts. Over time, establish a pattern of being repeatedly provoked, despite your patient warnings. Your outposts aren’t quite military bases yet anyway, so this is a good use of your time in the meantime.
4.As your outposts get closer to becoming real military bases, feel free to grow more strident in your responses to the “provocations.”
5.Once your military infrastructure is fully up to speed, you’re ready for war—you even have a track record of provocations to point to for justification! Of course you don’t have to start a conflict, but it’s nice to know you can at any time—and feel justified about it.

When a US Navy warship passed by the Spratlys last October, China simply warned it against acting irresponsibly. But this week when another warship did the same thing, it sent fighter jets scrambling and shadowed the US ship with its own warships—thanks in part to the convenient military base nearby.

Even talking about China’s activities in the sea—in diplomatic settings—now draws ire from Beijing. In April it warned G7 leaders meeting in Japan to not discuss the matter at all, and then said it was “strongly dissatisfied” after they did anyway.

Last week, one Chinese diplomat warned that criticism of China’s actions in the sea would rebound like a coiled spring. If comments are “aimed at putting pressure on China or blackening its name, then you can view it like a spring, which has an applied force and a counterforce. The more the pressure, the greater the reaction,” said Ouyang Yujing, director-general of the foreign ministry’s department of boundary and ocean affairs.

In other words, Beijing is pressing its outrageous claims in the South China, and will take any opposition as a reason to press them even harder.

China knows it can’t go it alone, though, and it can muster some diplomatic chumminess when merited. It’s been attempting to enlist allies—including Gambia, of all nations—ahead of an international tribunal’s ruling on its sea claim that won’t likely go its way.

How can they even pretend their claim is legitimate. Or do they just not care?

SSDD. Hell, shit used to be a hell of lot more volatile in the region. Back in ye olde days, the Chinese wouldn't just let their coast guard patrol around and give people the finger, they'd let the PLAN roam around and do fucking autocannon drive-bys on the vessels of rival claimants.

China's been steadily making in-roads and slowly winning that whole circlejerk of conflicting territorial claims through investing more resources and they're not going to risk that formula by starting a war needlessly over something they'll get without it by just being patient and staying heir current course. And if there's one thing you can't accuse the ChiComms of, it's being impatient.
>>
>>29943392
The only thing that matters when it comes to claims is if if you have the political will and military power to enforce them. China obviously has the former but might not have the latter. The United States probably does not have the former but definitely has the latter. No one else in the region has either if them.

Many Arab nations back China's stance on South China Sea
CHINA'S stance on the South China Sea is backed by many Arab countries, which expressed staunch support for Beijing's efforts to settle the issue peacefully.

In a statement issued at the 7th Ministerial Meeting of China-Arab Cooperation Forum, the participating Arab countries said they support China's efforts to peacefully resolve territorial and maritime differences with certain nations through friendly dialogue and negotiation.

Philippines signs defence deal with France amid South China Sea tension

France and the Philippines have signed a defence cooperation agreement, which aims to help Manila modernise its defence forces amid tension in its relations with China. The deal was signed two days after the election of new Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, the French embassy in Manila announced on Saturday.

That would also be completely stupid because Taiwan actually backs the PRCs claims in he South China Sea to the hilt - the Taiwanese still style themselves as the legitimate government of all China and also consider the whole South China Sea as part of their domain.

which will create and problem.

I believe NATO will back the US if china declares war on us, starting it with shooting or not.

I disagree, the only way this goes to shit is if China gets so desperate they use nukes, which would be suicide.

Other than that, the US, UK, and France are just about the only blue water navies in the world, and with local help from the Flips, Japs, and Aussies, it's over before it even started. China couldn't hope to do shit.

Within a few weeks you'll need a glass bottomed boat to see their navy, within months the food riots will occupy most of China's security exports, and within a year or two complete economic and political collapse will set in. I would be willing to bet we'll see nations carve off chunks of China during the peace accords. Free Tibet, free Hong Kong, Chinese recognition of Taiwan, shit like that.

The Chinks don't want a war, they want to look like they want a war. They know as well as us they'll get put down if they try, but it's all about brinksmanship.
>>
>>29943650
No. Not from America.

From other much more allied/neutral nations.

Also, China is a net exporter of a lot of food.

This is simply a question of comparative advantage. Why grow corn when America provides it for half the price via food subsidies?
Grow rice and yam which you are good at instead.

China wouldn't starve. But the meat and food prices would still soar.

Oil is China's problem, and the fact any real war with America would be retarded circa 2016. That's why OP's sources are tabloid trash.

Russia and China are buddies. They don't even man their border posts anymore. Russia would most likely stay out of it. Same for NATO. The treaty does not apply outside the North Atlantic nations.
>>
>>29943628

Big if. China's best chance to fuck up a carrier is spamming DF-21Ds at it as it sits in port at Yokosuka. Spamming MRBMs at Tokyo is probably a guaranteed way to get all Ohio SSBNs to unload their Trident D5 payload to China. 24 Trident D5s, each with 12 475kt warheads, on each sub. Is that a risk Beijing is willing to take?

No. Oppenheimer has clearly stated that our response will be either proportional or up to the President's disgression. The "if you kill our carrier we will nuke you" is a meme.

Now if they nuke our carrier, it is much more likely we will up the game to nuclear brinkmanship. America isn't gonna start Armageddon over one nuked carrier, especially if we can destroy China conventionally and nuclear-wise from long-range (which we can).

Russia and NATO are out of the discussion.

Nonetheless, a US/China war is simply not happening anytime soon. Because China will lose badly. And I'm a rather pro-Chinese military poster (who uses sources here).
>>
>>29943760

Political carve up is easy. Vietnam gets the land it lost, everyone gets claims to the SCS, HK and Tibet are freed and likely become US puppet states, and China becomes ruled from Taipei.

There will be a decent insurgency in the rural parts of China for years, but the cities will fall in line because most Chinese citizens don't really like being Chinese. They'd chomp at the bit for some real freedoms.

Everyone may hate eachother, but they hate China more, and they'd rather team up with Team Liberty to fight China and then go back to squabbling when it's on more or less equal ground.

No. China will legitimately let their political system implode over shooting nukes at us, because that means that at least some semblance of a Chinese state will survive, whereas if they use nukes, not only will they lose, because they maintain a minimum deterrence policy and therefore lose the actual exchange, China will be carved up, sold off, and heavily exploited to pay for the rebuilding of US infrastructure lost.

Nukes aren't the end all be all of warfare, you obviously have no grasp on wartime politics, so please get the fuck out.

Pentagon: Chinese Military Modernization Enters “New Phase"
hina’s decades-long military modernization “entered a new phase” last year under the aggressive leadership of President Xi Jinping, a new Pentagon report on Beijing’s military capabilities said today. The “sweeping transformation” includes making the formerly mass army a nimbler, more balanced force that is acquiring the kind of expeditionary capabilities the U.S. military already enjoys.

The most visible outward sign of China’s military muscle-flexing can be seen in the 3,200 acres it has reclaimed on reefs and rocks in the South China Sea. Three of those sites in the Spratly Islands now have port facilities and 10,000-foot runways that can handle any plane in the Chinese arsenal, the report found. Those territorial claims, which clash with rival claims from other states in the region, are backed up with coast guard and civilian ships.

“It seems to us that these activities are designed to stay below the threshold of conflict,” but demonstrate that China is willing to defend its territorial claims, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for East Asia Abraham Denmark said while unveiling the report at the Pentagon.

The report, an annual update mandated by Congress, notes that the Chinese moves “have caused countries in the region to enhance their ties to the United States.” Given the still-growing Chinese defense budget, the report found, “these concerns are likely to intensify as the PLA continues to modernize, especially in the absence of greater transparency.”
>>
>>29943760
>who gets what? what are the laws around it?
Ironically the only neutral approach in terms of the regional powers is to run up Old Glory and claim it for the USA. Given all the oil under the Spratlys this would also allow us to tell the whole Middle East to fuck off forever with our domestic supply secured long enough for us to transition to nuclear and renewables.
>>
>>29943845
But the potentially more significant, long-term developments are found closer to home. Xi is pushing through a series of deep reforms in the People’s Liberation Army, including a massive reorganization of the historically unwieldy institution, moving it from a collection of distinct regional units to a more rigidly top-down organization. The Chinese leader is also purging the military’s officer corps, arresting dozens on charges of corruption over the past year while cutting some 300,000 troops from the army’s bloated ranks.

The reforms are rebalancing China’s military, making the army smaller while the navy and the air force grow; the report noted that Chinese aviation technology is “rapidly closing the gap with western air forces.” At the same time, China’s nuclear and missile forces have been reorganized as an independent service and have been bolstered with a new array of weapons that push China’s potential reach farther out into the Pacific.

The moves come at a time when Xi is widely seen as attempting to consolidate his control over China’s institutions. The military has always been seen as a political institution in China, and it exists to protect, and carry out the orders of the Communist party.

Given China’s emphasis on being able to operate farther from home — as outlined in last year’s defense white paper — the Chinese navy continues to get preferential treatment. The Pentagon report noted that the 300-ship PLAN “now possesses the largest number of vessels in Asia,” boasting a growing number of advanced surface ships, new submarines, amphibious ships, and its first aircraft carrier.

The report also stressed Beijing’s use of the so-called Chinese Maritime Militia, a paramilitary organization of hundreds of civilian fishing boats which acts as a virtual picket line, sailing hundreds of miles outside of Chinese territorial waters to keep an eye on other vessels and harass any that stray too close to Chinese claims.

In many ways, this year’s report echoes previous studies. The lack of transparency in Chinese military developments has long been a concern for the Pentagon, and Chinese behavior in the South China Sea has been a source of tension for several years. In addition to tensions in the South China Sea, Chinese defense planners have remained very focused on being able to project power against Taiwan, if needed.

But this year’s report highlighted ways in which the Chinese military is slowing shedding much of its doctrinal baggage. Traditionally, the Chinese eschewed overseas bases and deployments, and focused on close defense. This year’s report stresses Chinese deployments overseas for peacekeeping and anti-piracy missions, a growing network of logistical support bases in the Indian Ocean — including China’s first-ever overseas base in Djibouti — and technological developments that make it easier for Chinese ships to operate farther from home, including better air defenses on new frigates and destroyers and the country’s first operational aircraft carrier.

Dunford “acknowledged the areas of cooperation” between the two militaries, while delivering “messages regarding U.S. commitment to uphold the rules-based international order, defend U.S. allies and interests in the South China Sea, while affirming a desire to avoid confrontation,” the statement said.

Not.. really.

China and the US both maintain a pretty close relationship with Taiwan, if you set aside the memes about a potential invasion.

It's not crazy to think that China would be willing to accept a deal to turn the government over to Taipei if things were going south.

>>29943839
A full-blown, successful blockade means in an off itself a lethal threat to the existence of the Chinese state. It's is right on par with an outright nculear first strike as far as they're concerned.

Also, "minimum deterrence" in this case means the minimum to still end the US as a nationstate with some attrittion factored in. So no, both sides lose the exhange, idiot.

The US will be too busy collapsing as a nation to try and carve up anything but itself

Presence of nuclear weapons IS the ultimate and overriding factor of all warfare on a strategic scale. You obviously understand less than nothing about wartime politics, so plese shut up and stop exposing your ignorance and stupidity to everyone.

>It's not crazy to think that China would be willing to accept a deal to turn the government over to Taipei if things were going south.
I can see this as being acceptable since it's "still China" and they can spin it as the CCP losing the Mandate of Heaven and the ROC government gaining it. It's much preferable to the Chinese people to remain ruled by other Chinese rather than have their territory carved up and served to the Russians, Vietnamese, Koreans, Americans, etc.

>>29943914

China maintains about five hundred nuclear weapons, most are not MIRVs, and even less are ready to fire, the US meanwhile can park thousands of nuclear weapons off the coast. If the US perceives any call up of mobile launchers and readying of reserve warheads the US will initiate a decapitation strike which will get most nukes as well as the Chinese command and control structure.

It is doubtful that after the initial strike that the Chinese will even want to launch, because the US can cut a deal saying that China can maintain its current government under supervision of the ROC as well as maintain a nuclear force for deterrence if they simply don't send.

If they do send the remaining few dozen nukes at us they have no bargaining chip, and a dozen or two destroyed military bases simply will not stop us, and I honestly believe that we haven't seen war crimes like what would happen if China nuked American clay.

China has a larger bargaining chip if they don't launch than damage that would be actually caused if they did. Make sense?

SOMETHING THAT IS NOT ACTUALLY RELEVANT IN AN EXHANGE BETWEEN FULL-BLOWN NUCLEAR POWERS.

>>
>>29943983
Learn what MAD actually is in strategic terms you stupid fucking cunt. It requires that the two countries in question have roughly equal ability to strike each other and launch second strikes. China does not possess an expansive or reliable second strike capability and would be required (at least by nuclear arms theory) to expend pretty much all warheads on missiles even capable of reaching the US on trying to take out nuclear silos.

Too bad Oppenheimer isn't here to tear you a new asshole with the nitty gritty details.

Assuming the ~1000:1 K/D response to 9/11 and corresponding rage scales up? We would end China as a civilization and the Han as an ethnic group.

China simply doesn't have enough nukes ready to be a credible nuclear threat.

They keep their mobile launchers and nukes in underground bunkers, so in order to use them they have to assemble the nukes, load them onto launchers, get them into position, and then fire. It takes hours of not days in a war where minutes matter.

It's such a large effort that it's impossible to not be noticed, and would immediately prompt a US decapitation strike if detected.

China simply has more bargaining power at the table when it's said and done of they don't launch.

At MOST we're looking at about 3 dozen destroyed bases, mainly in East Asia.

Compare that to...

Chinese eastern seaboard - gone
Chinese infrastructure - gone
Chinese government - gone
Chinese food - gone
Chinese future - gone

If China wants to survive, they'll peacefully hand over power to the ROC when the food riots start.

That being said, there is a real possibility of THAAD working. It has the potential to intercept the entire delivery system shortly after takeoff.

If we have THAAD deployed to Easy Asia before shit flies, there's a good chance whatever would be left after a US decapitation strike would be useless.

seriously 2 seconds with google dude.

Further China is effectively an island nation with 98% of their trade traveling across the water ways. Given how if they start a war in the south CHina Sea, they would be unable to trade with the countries they are at war with, and would themselves not control the bottlenecks for the shipping lanes, China would be completely fucked. A blockade would be as easy as putting some ASHMs at both sides of each strait, and forcing China to undergo an amphibious attack upon these locations.

Or we could just exploit the Achilles heel of all A2/AD strategies and simply deny them the use of that space as well. Remember kids just because you can deny a space to your opponent does not mean you yourself can operate out of it either.

>China doesn't even have a total capacity equal to what we used to plan for as a Soviet first strike,

No, it just has more than enough capacity to end the US as a nationstate, fuckwit. Your plans for a Soviet first strike also uniformingly ended with the US being fucking buried and that was with the Soviets doing a counterforce strike while the Chinese doctrine is countervalue - IE, they don't care about hitting your nukes, they care about erasing your cities.

>the US will initiate a decapitation strike which will get most nukes as well as the Chinese command and control structure.

Yeah, and in your total ignorance and retardiation, you are actually deluded enouhg to believe this outdated nonsense.

What is doubtful is wehter your initial strike will actually hit anything but empty launchers because the very way the system is structured guarantees an automated counterstrike that's liable to be underway before you hit.

And even if your deluded nonsense were to acutally work, the "remaining few dozen" nukes would fly and would still be mroe than enough to collapse the US as a functioning nationstate. They're not going to fly at military bases, you fucking retards. China does not do counterforce, they do countervalue. Those nukes are going vapourize american CITIES. This is not negotiable, it's how the entire system is set up to act in that case. The only worthwhile deterrent is a deterrent that will be used if triggerred. You fail not only at nuclear policy, you fail at basic fucking logic.

A nuclear arsenal that you are not willing to use is no bargaining chip at all, fucktard. And the US has no bargaining chip at all in case of a chinese launch because there won't be a US anymore. Make sense?

They don't have to. Islands don't move, and tomahawks are great land attack missiles. Add this to the need for china to not just control the parcels, but also the spratly's of which the closest base is a mere 148miles from the Philippines coast, and you can see how it will be China who has to project their military force into a hornets nest not the USN.

You don't get it, you simply don't.

China, if it even attempts to use their nukes, will be bitchslapped back into the stoneage, and if we have a THAAD in East Asia like we say we're going to put down, there's not a damn think China can do. Not a damn thing.

Not to mention, why would you use your one, only, singular bargaining chip for better surrender terms on some bullshit useless strike that will do nothing but insure that you, your military, your country, and even your ethnicity will cease to exist except in the history books.

Yes, we have established that you are ignorant and deluded enough to actually believe this utter nonsense that contraicts all actual facts. Reiterating your worthkless bullshit does not stop it being worthless bullshit that does nothing but prove your cluelessness.

They do not need to assemble the nukes, you fucking retard, they'd be in readiness already. They're hidden in fucking tunnel NETWORKS, and in fact can be made ready within minutes under wartime conditions.

And quite to the contrary, it is an effort that is all but impossible to detect simply thank to it being mostly done udnerground.

China not launching would mean they would have no bargaining position whatsoever and is not a realistic option to anyone with even the faintest actual idea of the topic as opposed to your idiotic delusions

At LEAST we're looking at several dozen glassed cities, mainly in the continental United States.

US western seaboard - gone
US eastern seaboaard - gone
A bunch of cities between the coasts - gone
US government - gone
US as a functioning nation - gone

If the Us wants to survive, they'll not provoke China into a nuclear war. THAT is the actual situation in the real world outside of your ignorant delusions.

Now do the world a favour and stop talkign about things you know less than nothing about, you clueless retar.

So now you're down to trying to defend your bullshit by making up bullshit lies and claiming yourself to be an authority. Typical last resort of delusional liars that ar ebeing called on their shit.

No fucktard, you don't get it: Chine getting pushed to the point of using nukes means both China and the US get bitchslapped back to the stone age and cease to exist as functioning nations even under the most optimistic estiamtes that are still founded in actual reality. Nameropping THAAD as if it was going to have any real measurable impact is only further proof that you know less than nothing about the topic.

Same goes for your your utterly deluded and illogical tangent about bargianing chips, as if a nuclear deterrent were any bargaining chip at all if you're shown to be unwilling to use it when the very survival of your nation is under threat. THAT IS LITERALLY NOT HOW DETERRENCE WORKS YOU FUCKING SUBUMAN RETARD. There is no surrender terms when a nuclear deterrent is in play.

China can wipe out enough of the broader american infratructure to cuase the complete collapse of the nation. That is the insurmountable relaity of the situation and any claim to the cojtrary does nothing but prove you a deluded ignorant or a lying sack of shit.

Maybe when you stop being a delusion al lying little sack of shit you can have an actually valid opinion, too. Until then, your concession that you're an ignornat, dleuded lying little sunhuman shitstain and wrong on all points is duly accepted.

Your entire theory there is based on the utterly nonsensical and baseless assumption that the chinese government members (which is not the same as the chinese govenrment collectively anyway, which already udnermines your entire argument) would have any reason to believe that they would survie a surrender in any shape, when in actuality, they have every reason to believe the opposite.

Your disfigured similacrum of game theory ignores both Cold War history and basic aspects of human nature. One of the fundamental basics of nuclear deterrents is that a nuclear deterrent only is such if you are going to use it when pressed. The mere concept of being unwilling to counterstrike is fundamentally rejected by all nulear powers, because it undermines the very core of deterrence.

We've been """"""""setting the stage for war in the South China Sea"""""" for 60 years now. Battles have actually happened ever since. And guess what: no war.

Maybe we East/Southeast Asians aren't like spastic Arabs who go to war at the drop of the hat?

The difference is that this time China has its back against the wall. Their domestic market is slumping and they can't keep building random shit to prop up the economy anymore. They also have 30 million men who will never ever find a wife domestically. That combination of sexual market imbalance and shaky local economy IS similar to the Arab world.

Newsflash, brah: most of that food China exports was imported for processing and packaging. Domestic foodstuffs that get exported are things like apples and tangerines. Staple foodstuffs get imported, boutique cash crops get exported.

In 2014, China officially and publicly abandoned their attempts to achieve 95% grain self sufficiency.

They've been running out of time, the welfare state everyone has been paying into is now sitting in desolate speculative development and they are just now realizing that their parents have nothing, they have nothing and the State can't help them. Look at the steel markets, they pretend it was all according to some brilliant scheme that they dumped all their steel into the world market and fucked everyone but it was just a result of shitty planning becasue the state funded steel mills physically could not stop pumping out steel or be forced to lay thousands off, which is happening anyway.

Thank god my parents got out in time before this shit collapsed, damn commies ruin everything.

It's indeed reality that the USA it plain outmatched in the region.

The USA has like one carrier strike group ready in that region. That's not enough to successful operate in that region.

China's navy was two rubber ducks with sharpened chopstick torpedoes at the time, and they weren't a nuclear threat.

>>
>>29944783
They were nuclear by the 70's. First bombs were tested in the early 60's.

Also the old PRC navy was of corvettes, old destroyers, and armed transports...so was everyone elses in South China sea.

Warships are considered sovereign territory. That's well established law and custom.

As far as nuclear retaliation for sinking a carrier, that could be jingoistic shitposting. It's not completely far-fetched, though. Carriers are strategic assets, a systematic attack on strategic assets might bring nuclear retaliation. It's probably very situation specific.

A nuclear attack against a CSG would most likely get a nuclear response, because nukes are already in play.
