China will have to protect it's flank by establishing a security sphere across the Pacific the same way Japan did in WW2. There's only one stradegy that plays in the Pacific; island warfare. They'll probably take Hawaii, Australia and the Eastern Pacific too before they're stopped.

China does not have the ability to invade foreign nations. They will be unable to land troops in sufficient quantity, they will be unable to resupply those troops. Their ships and subs will disappear in the vast open ocean (American subs guarantee that). Their jets are vulnerable operating close to the mainland, forget about 1000 miles out (American carriers guarantee that). Are they a problem? Yes. Do they have the kind of reach and the overpowering force that 1930's Japan did? No way. Do they wish to achieve that kind of power? Hell yes. We should stop buying their crap and end ALL technology transfers.

Y'know, there are probably a few dickheads in Peking who delusionally fantasize that kind of stuff, too.

The reality is that the Peking-based predatory pack of lying, looting, mass-murdering gangster bastards that so grandiosely calls itself "china," couldn't successfully invade the FRee Republic of Taiwan.

Not even if we would let it! And any attempt by it to do so would see its peasant-pummelling puny PLA arse kicked all the way to Kunming!

A Piper PA-22-135, eh? Here's a pretty one turned from a doggy old nose dragger back into a real airplane!
