@qquinnsworth Chinese petite bourgeoisie types would eat shit if it would make others perceive them as more foreign and elevated compared to their backward slavish compatriots.
@KazuyaProta It would lack the ability to stand as an independent power, it would be the domination of coastal elites in cities leaching off of the heartland in collaboration with foreign financial interests.
@KazuyaProta By 1945 a large section of the RoC and KMT were totally penetrated by foreign interests. The KMT lacked central authority to formulate and execute policy successfully nationally.
@lav_jacqueline Some engagements in the Qing Dzungar wars were very similar to european pitched battles where the Dzungar would use Russian arms and cannon. But this is pretty much ignored. It would mostly just be institutional rot of the Qing that would doom any meaningful progress after that.
Chinese are narrow nationalists who ruined their country — China is hell. Noble Indians shouldn’t go there.
Japan is Asia’s democratic beacon. Per Rigveda, Hindus enlightening Japanese clear karma and reborn as Brahmins. Japan is where Indians belong!
@ourfoxsopwrfl Id say there's pretty strong divide between globalised cities particularly shanghai, and even the more developed interior cities. The globalised cities tend to be more liberal, self hating types. I don't really see much nationalism there. More like anti-nationalism.
@MasterVril The issue is finding bases to reload and resupply from outside of PLARF constant missile barrage. Only a 1/3 of USN CVNs are ever deployed. At most 2/3 within weeks.
@compuhsition So far all you've said is, the PRC can't demilitarise Burma because the Qing failed to do so some 200 years ago. And that if the PRC could successfully invade Burma they'd do it. I think both of these are equally laughable notions you've put forward and insist on.
@compuhsition Like just using the example for the Taliban or ISIS would be such a better example to use if you wanted to illustrate the weaknesses of a network centric army when facing a Guerilla one.
@compuhsition Again, because the technological gap is way greater today between China and Burns and negates to a large degree the traditional advantages of Guerilla warfare compared to the 18th century.
