China Would Lose a War with the USA

Between the news headlines talking about how strong China has become, and China's own domestic state propaganda, you'd think that China's projection of military power is unsurpassed. You'd be wrong.

I don’t know about that though because china situation is very different to the Russian in that Taiwan have the semiconductor shield and china isn’t stupid enough to not know that it would be disastrous for their semiconductor supply if they invade which definitely takes more importance than unifying with Taiwan because the reason the current government can stay in power right now really is that the Chinese populace believes that an authoritarian government is better for the economy.

As someone who was born in China and is now an American citizen, I really hope the invasion doesn't happen. Taiwan will likely not go down without giving it all and that could include bombing major coastal Chinese cities where some of my relatives live. I really hope the Ukraine War continues to go south for Russia to further dissuade the CCP. I also hope China doesn't descend into civil war from the current instability escalating out of control but I guess a silver lining of that is Taiwan might end up unifying with China in an ironic twist and hopefully bring their system to the mainland.

[@Lawofimprobability]

Having also been in the military (Army), I think that proper planning and training CAN be done without direct combat experience. The thing is, the political incentives and lack of intellectual rigor in the CCP and PLA is what prevents them from preparing properly without operational experience. Even ill-prepared forces can adapt if they have the mental capacity and the poor quality of training will likely constrain their ability to do so. Consider that Russian forces did have plenty of personnel with combat experience but that regular Russian soldiers performed dismally after a few days. I attribute that to a lack of intense exercises that would have made it clear to officers how sleep deprivation and stress impacted readiness. The political incentives in the Russian military made passing up bad news hard so the deficiencies were not corrected despite having people who were well aware of them. I expect the PLA is even worse given the brain-drain and lack of focus from the business operations of the PLA and the political incentives against making one's superiors look bad.

Great post. I always enjoy your more realistic insights into CCP-controlled China. One additional thing I would like to point out is that the younger troops in China's military are all "Little Emperors" - the CCP would face massive backlash from the populace if they engaged in a war which killed the only child of thousands of families. And finally, the demographic crush is a slow-moving trainwreck that the CCP is powerless to stop. They will not win a war now, and they are quickly becoming unable to compete economically on the world stage. I don't see the CCP ever willingly giving up power, but they may eventually collapse under the consequences of decades of poor centralized governmental decisions.

I take your point however I wouldn’t be surprised if the CCP was in a hurry to loose some of its Male population as birth rate doesn’t mater when it’s 5-1 men vs woman.

Sadly better in their eyes to even out that ratio by throwing their men into the Taiwan strait instead.

With that issue, I'm surprised they haven't invested in vertical farming by now...considering the space it saves, and you could build high rise farms in city centers with it too.

[@talltroll7092]

@@jayc1139 What would be the point? It would be under the control of the corrupt local governments of urban areas, not out in the rural areas where the elite don't want to go, and so have little influence. Whatever money was nominally assigned to vertical farming, far too much of it would end up in someones bank account, and they'd just end up producing small amounts of very expensive food that no-one could afford. The experiment would therefore be deemed a failure, forgotten, and some officials wives, mistresses and kids would get some nice bags, shoes or cars etc

[@robertagren9360]

@@jayc1139 They don't do it because there's no proof of concept that vertical farming is working in a massive scale. To prove it try to find a vertical farm in your own town.

Europe being anywhere near aligned with China was always just a Chinese fantasy, tbh. It was basically just Hungary, and maybe one or two more countries. The rest were just onboard with business deals, same as the US. Only difference is Hungary could veto EU resolutions, but ultimately all that means is that individual countries went through with them on their own. This is why you see for example Lithuania opening ties with Taiwan, Sweden banning the Confucius institute for being propaganda and Huawei parts in infrastructure, etc.

That's only a few examples lol.. china has increasing ties in Europe and the USA is loosing shares. I can watch it everyday going out in the streets. Europe (except for the institutions) is becoming more and more anti USA.

[@Lawofimprobability]

Bribing countries to be neutral in a war or undermine diplomatic efforts to constrain preparatory actions is a viable strategy hence why the tolerance of Huawei was so worrying. Once a war would start, time would work against the CCP but getting advantages before war is what a lot of bribery can do. The Russian invasion of Ukraine forced a degree of moral clarity that really acted against the CCP (aside from the obvious evidence the CCP was backing Putin).

The USA invaded Afghanistan in 3 weeks. They invaded Iraq in 1 month. The feats here is that the US could invade a country like Afghanistan in weeks, a country that couldn’t be further away from the USA or her military installations. Secondly, the USA managed to invade Iraq (2003) within a month, despite Iraq having one of the largest militaries in the world (550k fielded manpower). The United States has proven her ability to destroy a county with a large military, or with a long distance within a very short time. China may have a large military, and may be far from the USA, but if the US wasn’t enough to stop China, then places like India, the ROK, the ROC, Japan, Australia, and the Philippines would be some of the first US allies to assist the American military.

[@marcelgowa]

They invaded it but never "won" or "beat" anyone there. They just left a 2nd vietnam and pretend they "won" that war... really weak performance from the usa...

[@davidhaley5597]

I really wouldn't count on the support you mentioned, this time in history is different. Economies are suffering and allies will look out for themselves at this point, look at the UK for instance, they are becoming divided due to a poor economy as sanctions are being altered and they are rethinking their options going forward. Ukraine has taught many recently that going to war is not your business when it leads to your Failure to support the nation's citizens. Right now I wouldn't count my chickens so fast to go to war, NATO is not strong as they were as we see Turkey of all nations holding hands with Russia right now as well as many nations of Africa...and let's not forget India seems to be looking out for themselves as they too are buying Russian oil and joining China, Russia on military exercises so your data may not add up if a war breaks out.

[@GeorgeCowsert]

The problem with China is that their habit of making cheap copies of other people's stuff extends to not just their exports, but to their most important local businesses as well, especially the military. And the thing about military strength is: the more important the tool is for combat, the more resources you have to spend to make absolutely sure they're capable of defeating the enemy's equivalent equipment. So a rifle, for example, will need to be decently expensive if you want your soldiers to be as effective as can be, but due to the sheer quantity of rifles needed it's just unrealistic to make them all hyper expensive. Meanwhile having a Tank means you have to have a tank crew, support vehicles to carry extra fuel, ammo, and parts, etc, so having several cheap tanks will typically cost you far more in the long run than a handful of expensive tanks. Planes? Those need to be able to evade detection whilst simultaneously be able to lock onto enemy aircraft, and be easily deployed wherever needed. This poses a whole lot of engineering problems that drives cost way up, and trying to cut corners will just make you lose air superiority. China's mentality of quantity over quality is what makes casualties go up and battles more tedious than impressive.
