China is a copy paste nation. You overestimate yourself.
Vietnam used to make everything better than China. Take gun powder weapons: it was Chinese that invented the stuffs but it was the Vietnamese that produced far better versions of guns.
What do you think why Vietnam annihilated enemies in series: the Han, the Mongols, Manchu, Siamese, Khmer, Laos, Champa, just name a few. I don’t bother to list the wars in the last century. When did you win a war? Despite rapid military buildup the PLA today is still untested.
If China is stripped off all western technology imports, you would probably run naked or wear silly Ming dress
Hey since when we are not a copy paste nation? Wwe copy, we paste, we steal, we borrow, we beg, we buy, we transfer, we improve, we innovate and we create. We do anything and everything to catch up and rejuvenate our nation. By hook or by crook, we will achieve it, see the results? Quantum tech, nano tech, stealth tech, Railguns, HSR, Jet engines, EMALS, FAST reactors, next gen Satellites, once we suck them dry, no choice but to innovate and create new technologies. We are now at the forefront of quantum telecom, 5G telecom. 10 years ago, would you believe me if I told you we would have these?
Bro, can you make a decent rifle now?
. Everybody improves upon the first invention, there is no where to go but up. The Japanese make better copies of the Portueguse arquebus, we made the first handgonne copied by the Europeans, then we copied and reimprove it, then we stopped, now we make RAILGUNS. So wake up!!
Annihilated? We owned your asses for 1000 years, then it our empire became too big to handle, threats from the North and West, etc. So when is your powerful people gonna retake Paracels?
Why Vietnam even need any aircraft carrier?
Quite unneccessary.
But if you like...
A new strategy:
If you can not compete his company, arrest his daughter!
This is a desperate act, don't you see. They can't do a ZTE on Huawei, so they resort to this. Everybody was laughing when I said last week, Trump did not win a deal, they said noooooo, China weak weak, China gave in. China will be vague, play with language, delay time, promise shitz and never deliver. Been gaming them for decades, make them feel strong and proud, and slowly slice them. All of a sudden, the media grilled Trump, 800bil$ got wiped out and now Trump is mad.
And United States is totally innocent?
Even back during W Bush administration, US was so obsess about China that they overlook numerous warning signs about the Sept 11 attack which turned out to be a blessing for China.
Going back further remember the COX report and what happened to Wen HoLee ?
Now with neo cons like Navero and Bannon running the white house, would thing have been different?
China actually has only been reacting to US actions.
Patience my bro. i will tell you what would happen after this. Huawei will pay a fine and promise to be good. China is gonna waive some tariffs like a good boy. Trump will WIN. Surpluses will remain, technology will still be developed, we will still bide our time. Don't get overconfident, we are at least 20 years before we can muster enough power. Trust me...don't act like the Russians. We could have easily went into Afghan, Syria and fck with the US, our MIC is even bigger than them, and then what? Our soldiers will die, we will drain our money which could have been used to build our country. Russia is aggressive and confident, but are they as resilient as China. We are survivals, notice we didn't even mention our ultimate weapon.....the WMD of Wall St.=)
I agree, China should escalate and prove it has balls!
You can't have US treating China like Japs did pre-1937...constant clawing of China by Japan and only Chinese appeasement in return. Because what followed?
Look at this coward for example, this is exactly what Chinese leadership should NOT be like:
First reply:
Just a bit later:
Nope, I think we should do a Modi hug on papa trump.
. The reality is US is a stronger opponent, China can only retaliate against weak countries like India. Just gotta sit this out, stroke Trump's ego, give some concessions, stay quiet and continue with the 350bil$ surplus. Another 20 years to go before we are powerful enough. Sharpen your knifes for 10 years, use it for 1 day......................
