Within seven years, China will be able to control the Second Island Chain — a series of island groups that runs north to south from the Japanese archipelago to the Bonin and Marshall islands — now that the PLA Navy commands the nation's first aircraft carrier, according to the Hangzhou-based Qianjiang Evening News.

The PLA Navy has yet to break through the First Island Chain, extending from the Aleutians to the Philippines, because of the strong US military presence in the Far East. In addition, key allies of the US in northeast Asia, including Japan and South Korea, also play central roles in containing China. Not only to do they have a strong military force of their own, but Seoul and Tokyo also provide air, naval, logistic and supply bases to the US.

By controlling the La Perouse Strait, Tsugaru Strait and Tsushima Strait, the US Pacific Command is not only be able to react to a North Korean attack quickly by concentrating its ground force on the Korean peninsula, but it can also defend Guam, its main air and naval base in the Western Pacific, from any potential attack.

There are currently 150,000 US military personnel in the Asia Pacific theatre. Among them are 50,000 army, 39,000 air force and 60,000 navy personnel.

In 1982, admiral Liu Huaqing, the former commander of the PLA Navy and the mastermind of China's modern naval strategy, said that it would be necessary for China to control the First and Second Island Chains by 2010 and 2020. The PLA Navy must be ready to challenge US domination over the Western Pacific and the Indian Ocean in 2040. If China is able to dominate the Second Island Chain seven years from now, the East China Sea will become the backyard of the PLA Navy.

Indian members started trolling, to defend my country, I have to say:

No, the truth is US has been suppressing China, arms embargo, technology transfer ban, trade barriers. What China really want is a relatively fair ground, it is such a normal thought or to a less extent, a peaceful claim. Why do you always see this fight against US as a fascist enthusiasm? Who said we will take those countries down? It is the western countries that once invaded China now restrict China's development. Just portray China as a person stucked in a safe house, robbers outside are awaiting for opportunity to rush into our house and commit crimes. We have to put up fences and alarm to protect our house. I want to inquire your opinion, ARE WE WRONG? This is the real situation, do not mess.

Actually, what a pity, as for you Indian members, you still cannot realize the situation now. You are just the Casino token of US or NATO. You are a tool of western to restrict China's rise, got it? You can freely buy the world's most advanced military equipment or other technology, while China has to develop for her own stuff without any help or transfer. Why? Have you ever used your head to figure out why is this happening? They have never worried about your development rather utilized you to against China. They offer you anything you want, they praise your fake democracy, they support you on world opinion whatever against China. Oh, I forget that all things of your country were heritage of western success, no surprise they back you. The worst thing is that, you do not take advantage of this opportunity(China is being suppress by US), you always want to be an enemy of China, jump up and down with our achievement, laugh at our political system. ARE YOU INSANE?

We can buy weapons because they are willing to sell us their state of art equipments....we even buy from Russia which we are doing since past 40 decades and they don't take Instructions from the west or else they wouldn't have sold you their engines and sukhois....and believe me their are good numbers of Anti-US people in India more than you can ever imagine....

Before blaming others as the hardliners look at ureself.....you are poking India since 1962 US wasn't the friend of India at that time.Indian democracy is fake??Please elaborate what is the true form of democracy according to you..
The fact is that your country is soo much eager too become self sustained in every area of growth that you are ready to upset most of the world to achieve this..

But it is your own words. What do you mean by poking India 1962? Yes, we won that. But there should be a reason. India has encroaching our territory little by little by the opportunity of PRC's chaos at that time. As for me, I know our leader very much, they will never want to get a affair, what's more, you are so far away. Whatever, contradiction can never has one side, agree? It is of both sides.

Hayek, who is a pro individulism and democracy, once said that perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one's government is not necessarily to secure freedom.

So, same principle, if all the parties available for your vote are corrupted, your only choice is to vote for a corrupted one. You cannot deny your democracy has corruption, right? Both you and I hate corruption, you will not defend it. Mutiple parties is only a form, it cannot guarantee 100% no corruption. I won't mention it any more, off topic.

@szft517: your language so strong, szft517. You call others are fool, animal, and you're smart and wise. !?

Sorry, but it's far from this world.

Thanks for reminding, I will fix that.

But, you see that, for whatever dispute, they will poke us with whatever excuse.

Since after 1962 we have a long gap of 50 years but PLA's behavior have been aggressive since after....India will always talk diplomatic but will poke back if you poke us again and again..

And what is fake democracy??Yes our govt. is corrupt so is yours but that doesn't means democracy is fake...ours politicians are corrupt so are yours but we can protest against them against the govt. can't say the same about China

Forget it, you do not read my post. I said contradiction has two sides, understand? Why do you always believe territorial dispute is all our's fault and you are always right? Impossible.

Maybe you do not know the year 1962 in China, since 1959 20 millions of people died of natural disaster and govt's fake grain output report. We are really concentrating on ourselves, no time and money to poke you, to start conflict, understand? As for most Chinese, they do not want another enemy, I can absolutely guarantee that, for real, because there is no benefit. What's more, there is no rich resources or food on the territorial border, even there is, China's technology wouldn't allow massive exploitation. I hope you understand this and read my post carefully. Maybe the education or book in India told you that you are victim, but the same situation is in China. I suggest you broad your eyes and forget it. History is writen by people.

Like I said, Chinese leaders won't get trouble from outside unless you poke us too much. They are cowardly so they think the best solution is diplomatic conference.

As for the democracy, I don't want to talk about it any more. Thanks.
