It's undeniable that US still hold advantages over China but don't expect China will sit idlely if US decide to make trouble over SCS and attack our islands, if China had the gut to fight US in Korea with primitive weapons, China will have no hesitation when deal with US directly at their homeland with unrestricted warfare, even with conventional, it will be enough to scare the sh1ts out of Americans because they have habit to see their armies to bombs others countries but will never expected to get bombed. China can use other means such harm US economies and we can sit and watch the ultimate game of Chicken to see which one will be the first to back down.
Throughout China history, China always had the gut to deal with deadly adversaries such as Hun, Turk, Mongol, UN in Korea, India (1962) , U.S.S.R in 1969. If US made any nasty move in SCS, don't expect China to back down so easily.
When I talk about resilience, I meant US population and not the soldier, Americans always enjoy to live on the high living standard and not been disrupted or been uncomforted by war, a simple shooting a black guy had brought US into chaos, I don't want to speculate the American drama if bombs are flying over their head...maybe when Americans feel insecure than they will learn not to make trouble around the world.
look, guts alone is not of any matter of modern warfare, sheer bravery might have been able to concentrate on an action in the 50s when Killing Power is not at all resolute like today. No doubt it was brave for the Chinese soldier to charge a Machine Gun line and try to wipe out an American ccompany in Korea war, and it might succeed, but there is a price to pay for the Chinese.
Imagine in today warfare, if you leave cover just to charge your enemy in sheer guts, it achieve nothing, war did not fought in a way when you can try and use primitive method and overrun your enemy. The problem is that, even if China have the way to touch America, it does not change the fact that it does not matter in war, during the course of history, war did not simply end with one country dropping some bomb or missile to unexpected civilian. Germany are not able to do it bombing London during Battle of Britain, the american cannot do it with Bombing Japan and Germany, American cannot do it with Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan. In fact, the American, both Civilian and Military know how effective these bombing can be.
As to the word "American is gonna scare the shit out of them when bomb start dropping on US soil" set aside how you can exactly do that without going thru the whole length of the Pacific without US noticed. The ground reality is, they will not. It's naive to think it can scale the American off with a few bomb to their home, because last time some coutnry did that to Hawaii, we beat the crap out of that country and basically colonize it while the world look on saying "American is out of the fight" All I can say is this, if China is really intended to bomb America, you need to do a better, ALOT better job than the Japanese. Because the moment you bomb America, is the moment 10 Carrier and 9 LHD heading your way with all full might of the US Armed Force at your coast.
Again, I am not expecting China to back down, I am expecting China to fight and lose if a war broke out between US and China. This is how it would goes. You put up a glorious fight, a brave charge to the machinegun, mortar, that is not going to alter the fact that China is going to lose a war in the sea and air had China and US go to war in SCS. You can go and ask 10 worldwell know Strategist from different country and different military regime, they will all tell you the same thing. This is something even Chinese Military authority themselves has not denied. This is a untendable situation for China to hold these island and try to win a running war with the American.
The question is, again, as I suggest, would there be a war to begin with? I can only say what happen if a war happen, predict the outcome, but I cannot predict whether or not a war is going to happen. That's up to people better than you and me to decide. It's no point mulling over the idea of whether or not there will be a war.
You can't use the WW2 scenario to predict the future naval war in SCS.
Why not? You do know the war we fought today is largely the same as the war we fought during WW2.
What we have now that does not have in WW2? Jet fighter? Asssault Rifle? Artillery? Cruise Missile? Nuclear Weapon? Name me one hardwear we have now but not during ww2.
Yes, a tank today is much more armoured and pack a much larger gun (120mm verus king tiger's 88) Anavy ship uses Missile instead of Ack-Ack, a rifle can chamber a lot more bullet than before. Artillery range increased, while reaction time decreased. But in all, wasn't the same weapon we use in WW2 have the same function than the weapon we have today? A destoryer hunting a sub, yes, today submarine is more silent than the old U Boat, but so does the American Destroyer Sonar power. Tank being hunt down by other tank, anti-tank gun/rocket. Fighter fight other fighters, got shot down by other fighters and SAM instead of Ack-Ack. Nothing has actually changed.
Platform upgrade, yet role stay the same, hence if you have any military training at all, you will notice that, the same training they are giving during WW2 is still given in today Advance Individual Training, the only difference? Instead of using a blackboard and pen, you are using Computer and Monitor.
It is the same war, fighting with the same equipment, over the same terrain as war been fought 70 years ago. Yes, Chinese technology is not the same as they were in WW2, but so does the American.
You are not the first one, nor I bet my life on it, the last one to tell me "You can't use what happened in WW2 to predict the outcome today" Why not? When the weapon system perform exactly the same way they did in WW2, which means you re using the same way we fought in WW2, what people don't know, and most of the PDF Chinese here don't know is that. Of course today weapon is more advance, but we are not comparing today weapons with WW2 weapons of yester year, we compare a war between tactics and strategy use between Nations, you compare what IJN have in WW2 to what USN have in WW2, and how they use it, and you compare what USN have in 2017 and what PLAN have in 2017 and you comapre the hardware and how they use it not comapre what it was in WW2 and what it is NOW, because at that point in WW2, both US and Japan are equal in technology, meaning, they can deal out more decisive blow to each other than today battlefield, when US is ahead in technology than China. So yes, I cannot actually copare a war between China and US now with WW2, because in WW2, Japan and US is on par, sometime Japan is actually more advance than the US, but today, China is subpar if we compare to US technology and warfighting experience.
