What military inventions or innovations have they made in the

computers

They made a bunch of sand island bases I guess.

repeating cross bow,
first cannons using gunpowder

more recently
probably making weapons systems that are 80% as good for 1/5 the cost of bloated western defense contractors

I think viable gunpowder weapons was still in the last thousand years.

I mean, the Chinese weren't the only ones working on it, and not all of it was done in the last 1000 years, but they still made a pretty big contribution to the field.

What are modular crossbows?
Gunpowder, rockets, guns, everything that goes boom comes from china.

They are going to own this century. You are already fucked you useless westerner

>>32295874
The commies have done shit but kill their own people and commit numerous crimes.

Chinese peasants have bodged together helicopters from scrap, however. One of them built a submarine by hand and uses it for his salvage work. Its interesting to think that chinese peasants are more capable than the actual communist military at having a functional navy.

no they arent you dumb bitch mother fucker. india will own the century. india will be a superpower by the year 2030 and we will fuck china up good.

Rockets and gunpowder.

>>32295874
Innovation comes from war fighting and China hasn't had a decent fight since the computer age kicked into high gear.

Hell just their doctrine shows this, they lack the decentralized command necessary for effective maneuver warfare. Their NCOs might as well not be NCOs, a common sign of combat inexperience that you see all over the world which of course also reflects in engineering.

>>32296002
India suffers from similar problems to China, neither will be running anything.

When Russian energy and other aspects of industry becomes fully independent from western contractors and critical manufacturing they will be the next super power.
Assuming they do not implode from political stress.

>>32295874
It's important to consider that, for whatever reason, a culture tends to have one or two periods of what they can call a "golden age." Very rarely do you ever see a people rise to the status of world leader more than once in all of history. The Chinese have an EXTREMELY ancient history, and their last golden age ended in about 1280, nearly 800 years ago.

There's some sort of collective conscious that dictates it, but needless to say, with Chinese culture being what it is today, it's going to be a long time again before they have another golden age.

i read that they invented chest rigs, is that true?

Serious answer time.

1. Gunpowder, and the first use of gunpower weapons. Until the 1350's China arguably had the best gunpowder weapons in the world. Then the Ming dynasty decided to be retarded and shut down technological progression in favor of whatever the fuck. By the time of the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592, the Portuguese guns the Japanese had were better than the Chinese guns.

2. Interchangable parts. Due to having better casting technology than everyone else (again, until the 1450's), the Chinese military could produce interchangeable parts. The main application of this is in their crossbows, where crossbows from one armory could use parts from another.

3. Mass production. Blast furnaces and standardized units allowed the Chinese to do early mass production of weapons and armor. They could make better steel cheaper than everyone else, and combined with interchangeable parts above, allowed the Chinese to make hundreds of thousands of crossbows when needed.

4. "Modern" Conscription. Points 2 and 3 meant that the Chinese could produce lots of crossbows very cheaply, which meant you could arm lots of barely trained peasants with crossbows and have them not be a complete embarrassment in the field. Cheap guns allowed Revolutionary France to do Levee en Masse in a similar fashion.

Medieval Chinese armies would consist of a small core of professional soldiers with melee weapons, and a swarm of peasants with crossbows. Compared to other Medieval wars, wars in China would last a lot longer and kill a lot more people. If an European King fucked a battle and lost his cadre of knights, the war was over, because Knights can't be replaced quickly. If a Chinese warlord lost a battle, he would retreat, throw some crossbows at the peasants, then go at it again.

So the answer is "quite a lot", but China never took the step of industrializing because what they had was good enough for all their neighbors. Then Europeans showed up.

There's a path for them, but it has nothing to do with their character or strength of their people. Around 2035 forward, more or less, they will have a more and more farmland as permafrost retreats, while big parts of the world starves. That's without taking into account the new trade routes and resources in the Arctic Sea.

Makes me curious if those two could actually fight each other

Yup invented in the 50's, though nobody seems to admit this fully. Everyone else was still using web gear before this thing hit the scene.

They've outlasted the Greek Empire, Roman Empire, British Empire, and soon the American Empire.

Ancient states know that flashy weapons don't mean shit if those states end up dying a few hundred years later.

Europe is one big mess. Nords making their way to north africa, turks to central europe, etc. It's one big whirlpool, hence all the ethnic strife.

Changing government types is meaningless. The people and culture is still there. Always united throughout history. China will always be China, a world player. Whereas everyone else will crumble away.

I'm sure when the United African States create a neutron bomb in the year 2100, China will still be there, and outlast them too.

I'm mostly confused to why we would have anything to benefit from being buddies with Russia instead of China. If we're gonna ally with some asian commies why pick the weakest one?

>>32295915
>making weapons systems that are 80% as good for 1/5 the cost
If the Chinese are remembered for one thing only, it should be this.

>>32301652

During the Cold War, the Chinese were the weaker one. A full alliance between Russia and China is a major threat, no matter what shape it takes.

>>32296002
India has cultural problems that will absolutely torpedo it's economic development. Poo/loo is only the beginning. It's got the welfare statism issues of the west combined with third-world poverty; without western creativity or efficient Asian authoritarian capitalism.

China will rise slower than the hype, but it will rise. India is going to coast, the good parts of Africa are developing faster.

Modern rockets use liquid propellants. The only similarity with chinese fireworks is that they are tube shaped and go up.

There are individual human beings that are older than China.

>>32295950
They are occupied too much with maintaining order internally and maintaining the capability to defend itself against the major nations that surround it.

The extent of Chinese influence abroad will probably be naval power projection in the Indian ocean.

They have a lot on their plate and if they over extend they will go the way of the Soviets and [COLLAPSE]

Let me know when India finally pushes through the massive administrative reform, economic reform and infrastructure projects they need to not be a crushingly poor, overpopulated, literal shit hole.
