"We will wait 100 years...."

[Genesis]

Mao said, we will wait 100 years before taking Taiwan. What he meant was even if he could take it, it's "infested" with "counter revolutionaries," what would be the point of taking it, that's not to say we won't be working towards that deadline.

The same mind set is true here for South China Sea, why would China rush any decision when even if we do take it now we can't enforce it, nor can we make it do what we want. Anybody looking for a shot to be fired, they will be disappointed. Even if an accident happens, China won't be going to war.

The evidence are plenty. China has invested massively in island infrastructure, easily in the billions, China has the biggest coast guard in the world, and it is still increasing. These are all civilian branches and non militarized actions that will change the status quo while not giving an excuse for others to do anything, other than to match us. Which they can't.

Chinese image, in terms of wealth, human development, and just anything and everything any sane person would want, is still not up to the standard of a true developed nation. Just like the US, and Japan that was once looked upon as a waste land, so too will China rise above it. The problem is of course, China hasn't done it yet, and taking aggressive action, even if successful, is hardly useful, since resistance will be high.

Actions like massive infrastructure investment, investments in education, in health care, and anti corruption drive, creating international organizations, more engagements, these will all, in time, make China into what it's suppose to be.

To wear down our opponents is the key here, in 20 years, when the status quo has dramatically changed. Biggest economy, part of the advanced economy, head of many international groups, high human development, far reaching military, and more.

The Question then is, how significant is South China Sea anymore?

If the Philippines can prove to be a tiger, then this contest would at least be interesting. However, it is more of a sick cat, those are never fun.

Also we are talking in the third person now? lol, at least I don't need to check your ID to know you're from Jersey.

What about indian occupied territories lol.

Look at it this way, we will eventually incorporate HK, Macau, and Taiwan, now what's the difference between those three places and Indian held territories.

We are nice, but not that nice.

Right now, for you the biggest problem is population!

Cities like Shanghai in China have a fertility ratio of 0.79! China's population, if it goes the way it is going, will half.

When a Fukin napkin nigger dothead curry sucker tries to act "gangsta"..

No decency, vile, expletive laden nonsense. Nothing to talk about.

Changing the residency law will easily remedy low population growth areas. Population is not all important, quality of personnel is much more essential.

A demographic dividend like Indias is a double edged sword. Dividend or time bomb!?

My friend, if you have actually followed my posts, you will understand that I have no bones to pick with China, rather I respect her, and care about her. When I read Chinese history, I am only in awe of her resilience and vitality, and the sense of self.

Now to your comment. BOTH quality and quantity are important. I repeat BOTH.

Norway has one of the highest scientists per capita, GDP of almost 80k per capita (dollars). Yet, does Norway come anywhere near to being any kind of power?

A place of one country individually is the share of the country in global GDP, share in global markets, and share of technology.

Every human has broadly similar capability. Also it is very easy to move up from 1k dollars to 10k dollars, compared from 25k dollars to 35k dollars. Today investment and capital, as well as technology to some extent moves across borders to find the right place to invest in. Hence, it is always attractive to invest in lower per capita countries simply to take advantage of Human potential.

For China, relying on herself is far more important, because she doesn't have allies like the US does. US has the ideological, cultural, allies with Europe, Australia and others. Than it has many more allies like Japan. So effective US and western market is still huge.

Changing the residency law will easily remedy low population growth areas. Population is not all important, quality of personnel is much more essential.

A demographic dividend like Indias is a double edged sword. Dividend or time bomb!?

As for residency laws, it will only bring in more fertile population from poorer areas, but it won't lead to population growth, only population shift.

The biggest fears that I have is that China might underestimate the importance of Population, than it may underestimate the importance of fixing the population issue, than it may underestimate the difficulty of doing so, and finally it underestimates the way demographics work, especially the population latency and inertia.

I also have fear that there may be some vested interests here, who want the population control budget going.

A Japanese lady.

An English translation for us please... (Google Translate doesn't seem to be giving a good translation, also if it is an idiom or something, please explain it)

Google translator is sub par in translating proper Japanese.

I said: Koke tsu ni ira zunba koji wo ezu

Literally it means, if one wants to capture the tiger cub, one has to be brave enough to enter a tiger's lair.

If China wants to seize the initiative then She must be bold and brave enough to deal with the strategic gamble, if she succeeds then she seizes the cub -- the South China Seas. If she fails, she may meet the proverbial 'Tiger'. Either case, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

If the Philippines can prove to be a tiger, then this contest would at least be interesting. However, it is more of a sick cat, those are never fun.

The Philippines as a tiger?

Too big a topic, but let's just say, by the time 49 rolls around, the ratio of rural to urban would be far greater in urban's favor, that our major cities would be fine, while commercial farming will finally take off. Besides, to actually half Chinese population, everyone on this forum would have been dead, even if they were born 10 years from now.

The proverbial tiger cub in this case is the undisputed heavy weight championship of the world, and the P4P best in the world. The tiger you should know who it is.

The South China Sea is more like OPBF featherweight championship.
