[redtom]

Americans have equipped and trained armed forces of a large number of countries since World War 2 so all are incompetent in warfare?

South Korea and Japan - each is a powerhouse.

Many Chinese don't know much about the world and their standard is based on the PLA. They are used to using the PLA as an average line to refer to other countries' military forces.

To be fair, Saddam’s army and airforce were a forced to be reckoned with in the Kuwait war, the Iraqis even shot allied planes down.

They were nothing, and i am not referring to gulf war but after 9/11. China is not Iraq.

All I’m saying, Iraq in 2003 was weak because of what the Americans did to them in 1991

who has been successful in Afghanistan in the past 3,000 years ? no one so US is no different

its not conventional warfare in Afghanistan

in open sea in a conventional war US will annihilate any navy in the World within minutes

but its great to see Chinese use Afghanistan as example, just shows how ill informed they are

Its not gonna be same always. I think Antiship missiles from china coming in 100's and their navy is also strong. unlike japan in WW2 that when there were no AA missile systems to counter dozens of air raids over them. Now both navies have SAM systems to counter Air raids and attack enemy ships same is for usa so if there is something new in table it will be head on close combat after missiles are exhausted.

You do realize that US has not fought a power like China. Bombing Taliban or Sadam's army is one thing, going up against a professional airforce that will employ more aerial vehicles is another.

You do realize China and Russia hasn't fought a power like the U.S. since the 1950s.

Invalid examples. South Korea and Japan are de facto vassal state, and SK doesn't even have the command on their own military. Both have sizeable US military presence on their soil.

Dont forget China will have an advantage of home tariff, plus if push comes to shove US will not put American lives to protect Taiwan.

We will see. U.S. has fought in many countries' home turf and also put American lives on the line as well.

And we have seen the results...
Nothing to be proud off to be honest.

A U.S. special-operations unit and a contingent of Marines have been secretly operating in Taiwan to train military forces there, U.S. officials said, part of efforts to shore up the island’s defenses as concern regarding potential Chinese aggression mounts.

The small presence of Americans training local forces marks mounting concern regarding China’s yearslong military buildup and its recent threatening moves.

You'd be surprised.

China was never able to set a foot on japanese soil. On the other hand though...

 

[GumNaam]

US was training and equipping Afghan forces as well, it will be appropriate for the US to bring the both sides on the table to iron out any issues and not to pour petrol at the volatile situation.

oh boy, given the training they gave the afghan national army, I'd start learning the PRC National Anthem immediately if I was a taiwanese!

People needs to understand that in a full scale conflict between China and America, everyone dies. If America is stupid enough to end their country in order to save a tiny Island nation than, I guess
