[QUOTE="CaptHawkeye"][QUOTE="tycoonmike"][QUOTE="CaptHawkeye"][QUOTE="Bourbons3"]They do have a bigger ground force. Your "reasons" do not change that fact...tycoonmike
The question is whether or not the Chinese can rely on that "fact" to bring them victory. Which has been shown they can't.
When? So far as I know, the People's Liberation Army has had as many as 350 million souls to call upon for military service only for the past ten years, and barring border skirmishes, China hasn't been involved in any significant war since the Korean War, to my knowledge, and correct me if I'm wrong. They have the potential, yes, but their troops, I will grant you, are relatively untested, barring internal problems. If seriously provoked in a situation like that of the War of 1812, and I only speak hypothetically, I am certain the Chinese would fight to the man to defend the People's Republic.
Weren't you just saying how something like that could not predicted? By your previous logic, their is no reason to assume they would fight back.
Then by your logic, you wouldn't fight back if your country was being invaded? I sure as hell know I would if America were being invaded. If it was your house being bombed, I am damn certain that you would want to scalp and mutiliate the conniving son of a b**** who did that to you. I am absolutely certain that this would be the case, just as the Russians did during WW2, they fought back, losing millions of lives, to purge the Germans from their doorstep. It is human nature, the nature that you and I share, that dictates this.
We can only predict things off of our experiences in the world. I watched as my parents fought with the school I go to now to keep me in it and out of the Godawful school whose district I technically lived in, and I am certain they would fight and lose it all just so I could get a proper education, just as I am certain that the Chinese, nay, any people, would fight and lose it all just so the next generation didn't have to fight their war. So long as a war has the support of the people, the people will fight it. If America was being invaded by Iran or North Korea, then we would be in unison shouting "Death to the Invader!" Instead, we are disunited against Al-Qaeda. When it is your own land being threatened, people will do extraordinary things to ensure that their lives, or the lives of the next generation, are protected.
Perhaps I shouldn't have said "People's Republic." I meant the Chinese homeland. Not the government itself. Oops :oops:
thats the funny part
do you really believe in todays world that China,Iran,(once)Iraq or terrorists can invade USA?
