If They Did It…This is how China Would Attack the United States

Did you know that China already has a plan ready in case they decide to attack the United States? They do, and it’s one of the resources they use to train their soldiers.

…from the AirForceTimes:

This strategic outlook isn’t hidden in secret Chinese documents. It’s printed in China’s military journals and textbooks. And for much of last year, Mandarin literates and defense experts — working for the Santa Monica, Calif.-based Rand Corp. on an Air Force contract — combed through a range of Chinese military sources.

[...]

…China’s experts concede its army would lose a head-on fight, with one senior colonel comparing such a scenario to “throwing an egg against a rock.” Instead, the Chinese would attempt what Rand calls an “anti-access” strategy: slowing the deployment of U.S. forces to the Pacific theater, damaging operations within the region and forcing the U.S. to fight from a distance.

“Taking the enemy by surprise,” one Chinese military expert wrote, “would catch it unprepared and cause confusion within and huge psychological pressure on the enemy and help [China] win relatively large victories at relatively small costs.” Another military volume suggests feigning a large-scale military training exercise to conceal the attack’s buildup.

[...]

The Chinese would first launch “concentrated and unexpected” attacks on tarmacs using runway-penetrating missiles and, soon after, would target U.S. aircraft. Saboteurs would play a role in reconnaissance, harassing operations and even “assassinating key personnel,” according to another military expert.

Chinese fighter jets would scramble to intercept aerial refueling tankers and cargo planes sent to shuttle in fuel, munitions, supplies or troops. High-explosive cluster bombs would target pilot quarters and other personnel buildings.

And here’s my favorite part:

Because the American public is “abnormally sensitive” about military casualties, according to an article in China’s Liberation Army Daily, killing U.S. airmen or other personnel would spark a “domestic anti-war cry” on the home front and possibly force early withdrawal of U.S. forces….

The People’s Liberation Army has certainly been studying us…have we been studying them?

    Thanks! (And, to paraphrase a quote from a well-known film: That country contains so much shit you need wings to stay above! :-))

    Dear Jenn:

    I like this post and see…Communism is no longer a threat! China is and has always been, a vast monster ruled by the mere whim of a handful of evil freaks, whose PERMANENT idea of brinkmanship is mostly going over the brink.

    The arrogance and philistinism of Chinese culture can often have no limits. Thus every Chinatown in the world, is a snake pit of unbelievably selfish corruption and the exploitation of their fellow Chinese. Just ask Bruce Lee. That’s why he got into martial arts. No choice if you wanted to survive as an individual.

    There’s an interesting Chinese author by the name of Bo Yang, who has some harsh insights into the workings of the Chinese mind. Kind of disturbing, and considering I had a Chinese girlfriend at the time I was reading him, er, he was spot on. She was in it!

    The daughter of a party cadre, she was a spoiled and profoundly ignorant person, but taken to a high level of morbid narcissist parody.

    Wy was I with her? Ah, so long ago and I had a thing for Asian gals…but I got over it. The truly interesting, mysterious and exotic women are more likely to be Western or Westernised, actually.

    Once you live in Asia as I did for a while, you meet some wonderful people, make great friendships and get a real connection. But for most folks, there always comes a time where you eventually find Asia is actually about as interesting as a plastic sandle.

    This is usually at the 2 and half year mark. Happens every time for most.

    Colonel Neville.
