The CPEC. the SCS , the ECS , Spratly's , Paracel , Scarborough , etc .are worthless compared to RoC.That's the prize. That is the sole reason you have Gwadar, the ADIZ , the 9 dash line & what have you ?
Unless you complete the conquest of Taiwan , all your talks are merely that .So are all your achievements.I mean , what's the use of being a 13 trillion dollar economy, a P- 5 member of the UNSC , a recognised N Power , a NSG member etc etc . when you can't wrest a "rogue province"not more than 100 kms from your shoreline.Not in over 60 years.Were I a Chinese , I'd hang myself ! Or at least my head in shame .
So you think we fought directly against the US + 16 of her allies combined during the 1950 Korean War (pushing them into the longest retreat in their history), and fought directly against the Soviet Union during the Sino-Soviet split, but we can't take Taiwan?
It's well within range of even our cheap mass produced rocket artillery (400+ km range, enough to hit New Delhi too). We could simply churn out cheap artillery shells and cover every inch of the island, leaving nothing left.
But we don't want to. That's the point, we believe it is ours, and that we can get it back peacefully. Just like my own city of HK was returned peacefully and without any bloodshed.
Unlike India which may not even exist by next week, after all Pakistan does not see India in the way that China sees Taiwan.
