China to boost marine corps by 400pc to enforce growing world

Impressive

Truly China has what it takes to be superpower. China can now defend Chinese lands from the Indian Ocean up to the east of Australia. That's why they call that region 'IndoChina' because that is historically Chinese land.

Chinks taking over is still better than nonwhites I guess

I'm pretty sure this is ironic, but in case it isn't -- do you even read what you write and think "Oh yeah, this is certain to change their opinions on China and the Chinese Communist Party!" ?

>>33313937
I'm only stating facts. False opinions against the Party is only fleeting. False news can only do so much against the truth presented by the Party.

>>33313755
This is truly a great day for China. Only China could have the resources and will required to do such a thing as maintain the peace within within the waters around Asia.

China's continued rise to Hyperpower status is truly awe inspiring - something that could only be done with the will of the People and their continued, undivided support of their wise leaders.

Probably getting ready to storm the Californian coastline to round up and silence those Tibet supporters once and for all

Just hope that they change the uniform as well to go along with it.

100k troops are more than what is needed to garisson SCS islets.

>>33313755
no wonder the Chinks spent so much money buying those hovercraft from the Greeks

China's military reforms have been learning/copying from the US military.

So, it's hardly surprising that they are creating something similar in size to the USMC.

And this is also why the "PLA reduces 300.000 troops" policy is misleading.
The PLA ground forces are doing that reduction.

100k useless/corrupt desk clerks, 100k "dance and song" soldiers, and the rest going to the marines.

Anyone who has ever lived in china is laughing hysterically at the notion of China becoming a super anything.

>>33316210
They will, though.

Developing countries like China have that special trait that ordinary people could be dumb as shit, but the elites are super intelligent.

Kinda like how it is during medieval time, with dumb peasants but super intelligent kings and scholars and nothing inbetween.

Will the chink marines be less useless than American marines?

China actual has real targets to do amphibious assaults against, this keeps them honest in their doctrine

Unlike retard Americans who go "Well we'll spend all our budget on helicopters.... yolo"

Propaganda.

If they were really wanting to increase their force projection they'd build the boats those marines would need.

It was actually the other way around for a long time. They had more LSTs and LPDs than they had Marines.

But now, with their new LHAs planned and more LSTs being built, they need more Marines as well.

People forget that China has the world's second largest amphibious force.

>>33318729

I mean real boats, not floating targets.

And even against the USN, the PLAN will not be a pushover near their home waters.

For Taiwan the Zubr would use its speed to assault from the north and south, while the central beaches are assaulted by the conventional landing assets.

For longer ranged stuff, the Zubr needs to be launched from an MLP.

The essence of amphibious doctrine is ship-to-shore attack. Whether you ply the seas or fly above them to get from one to the other is secondary.

It's not cherry picking when the entire country is polluted peasant village or polluted city slum with the exceptions of small parts of a few cities and other places party members have congregated. In the states you only see urban decay where industries have dried up and people refused to move on, even those rust belt townships are nice compared the majority of China. Those places in the USA tend to be exceptions rather than the rule.

'Pivot to the Pacific' is over, senior U.S. diplomat says

http://www.defensenews.com/articles/unpredictable-funding-biggest-threat-to-army

>WASHINGTON — The Obama administration’s Pacific rebalance effort — also known as the Pivot to the Pacific — effort is officially dead, according to a top State Department official.

>Asked by reporters about the future of the rebalance, Acting Assistant Secretary of State Susan Thornton said Monday that the new administration has its own plan for the region, even if that plan has yet to take shape.

>“Pivot, rebalance, etcetera — that was a word that was used to describe the Asia policy in the last administration. I think you can probably expect that this administration will have its own formulation. We haven’t really seen in detail, kind of, what that formulation will be or if there even will be a formulation,” she said
>the Pivot to the Pacific — effort is officially dead,

Not the same guy, but your straw man argument doesn't affect the fact that China is already a superpower (which you meekly tinkerbell around with m-muh straw man).

yes, they will

>>33313755
wouldnt worry too much. this is china flexing is muscle and solidifying it's position as a regional power. drastically increasing the size of their blue water navy is more what you should watch out for in relation to them "planning something". of course, if they were planning something in a competent manner then it would make sense to solidify their regional power and then move into force projection so as to make recourse from other powers less effective than if they moved in the opposite way. while imho this doesnt mean much on its own, it could be an indication of future expansionist or even imperialistic ideology.
