Do you think there will ever be a war between these two superpowers and who will side with who and what will it be over?
sorry Iam just curious I havnt seen this scenario on this forum yet I might be wrong. say in year 2050
 
Obviously there is a big problem with Taiwan but saying the word 'taiwan' is like saying "WHO WANTS TO FIGHT!" on this forum ;)

Outside of that it is too speculative to say anything. No American in 1955 thought our biggest wars in the next 50 years would be fought in Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq.

We dont know what would be the situation in next 50 years but I tell you one thing that China would be strongest nation at that time and USA would never mess with it.

Even today China is very strong and many consider that USA would avoid conflict with it. The reason for this is that there would be no victors.

China is too big to be invaded like IRAQ and this war would be extremely costly in terms of finances for USA.

Then both are Nuclear powers and both have ICBMs. USA has SLBM's which give it advantage but the point is that US cannot stop Chinese Missiles from hitting its cities.

Then China has huge arsenal of SRBMs, MRBMs and Cruise Missiles that would be used to pound the stationary US basis, military positions and Naval Positions. If US military intrudes deeper in to China then conflict would turn Nuclear.

The very likely tussle possible would be in case of Taiwan and they do not favour a war as well.

After 50 years, things would be lot different. Though US would develop wide range of Stealthy weapons by that time but still China would be following as well.
 
Maybe a war over Taiwan, or other east-asian nations...

But heck, within 50 years i'll bet China will be able to project it's military power quite easily anywhere in the world. Bizzaro-trade wars or something by then.

I'd presume EU would still be allied (more or less...) with the US. Japan and South Korea.... who knows, but probably allies.

China.... other than North Korea, I have no clue. China could make lots of friends in 50 years....

Things are gonna be tense and akward in the future, though :shock:
 
Thread moved to the appropriate forum...

I'll let this one stay open (for now), since it's a future scenario..
We usually don't allow any "Who's best../who's gonna win if...." threads, so please be careful with what you post in there...

Thanks.. :)
 
"If the Americans draw their missiles and position-guided ammunition on to the target zone on China's territory, I think we will have to respond with nuclear weapons," Zhu Chenghu, a major general in the People's Liberation Army, said at an official briefing, according to the Financial Times.

On another note, as some of you know, Russia and China share a "friendly neighbourly treaty", which they say has no military nature but who can be sure. The treaty is set to expire in 2021 but may easily be renewed.

If these two nations announced a military alliance then i doubt there will be a nation crazy enough to conflict with them.[/quote]

emmmm How about a Triple Allience ............... :twisted:

Back in the fall of 1998, Russian premier Yevgenni Primakov threw down a gauntlet at the Clinton administration’s feet when, during a visit to New Delhi, he proposed the formation of a “strategic triangle” encompassing India, China, and Russia as a counterweight to the United States.

Back then, Primakov’s grand plans did not find much purchase: Russia was in the throes of a disastrous economic meltdown, while China and a newly nuclear India both rejected the idea of such an axis outright.

Six and a half years later, much has changed. Today, worrying signs suggest that Primakov’s idea for an anti-American coalition in Asia may be finding a new lease on life.

During his visit to New Delhi last month, Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao took pains to stress the similarities between Russia, China, and India, and to urge “coordination and cooperation” between the three countries as a means of promoting international “peace and security.” Jiabao’s comments were notable, insofar as they represent the first public endorsement by a Chinese official of a trilateral alliance between Beijing, Moscow, and New Delhi.

But is such a construct possible? Many observers remain deeply skeptical. Earlier this year, Moscow’s Nezavisimaya Gazeta ridiculed the idea. “China, Russia and India are not forming and will not be able to form such a conglomerate,” the opposition paper insisted in a January editorial, stressing the historically-rocky ties between Beijing and New Delhi and Moscow’s wariness over China’s expanding energy ambitions. Some Chinese scholars are likewise incredulous, citing competing priorities between China and India and the long-standing premium placed by the PRC on independent foreign policy decision-making.

Indeed, for the past decade, an Asian “triple entente” has remained more rhetoric than reality, with Moscow, Beijing, and New Delhi all charting vastly different political trajectories. Now, however, a convergence of factors suggests that the historical impediments to such an alliance could be diminishing.

For one thing, Russia appears to be reverting to old habits. Over the past year and a half, through a series of electoral victories and not-so-subtle power grabs, President Vladimir Putin has succeeded in virtually monopolizing Russian foreign and security policy. More ominously, these successes have been matched by the return of an assertive, neo-imperial foreign policy — one very much on display in the “post-Soviet space” and, increasingly, well beyond it. As a result, Russia today is drifting away from cooperation with the United States, and toward a distinctly counterproductive stance on an array of issues of serious concern to the Bush administration — from arms sales to Syria to continued nuclear assistance for Iran’s ayatollahs. And a Russian-Chinese-Indian triangle is increasingly part of these new priorities; during his December 2004 visit to India, Putin explicitly echoed Primakov’s vision of an anti-American axis in Asia when he declared that strategic cooperation between the three countries “would make a great contribution to global security.”

An evolution is also increasingly visible in Sino-Indian ties. While rivalry over commercial and energy contracts with the Central Asian republics, as well as Beijing’s vibrant strategic partnership with Pakistan, remains the order of the day, recent weeks have seen competition begin to give way to cooperation. In early April, the two countries convened a landmark summit in New Delhi, at which they settled long-running border demarcation issues, agreed to significantly boost bilateral trade, and codified an array of cooperation agreements on civil aviation, finance, education, and technology exchanges — laying the groundwork for what officials in both countries are already terming a “strategic and cooperative partnership.”

I would say, since generally "super powers" try to avoid conflict or at least war with each other, Nothing. I would like to live on a non-completely radioactive earth, thanks. :D
 
i dont think there will be a war just because there are superpowers but because of taiwan china has said it will invade taiwan if taiwan claims its independence ( and this law was accepted in chinese parliment or whatever their equlivant is)however the americans has pleged its support to taiwan.what do you think will be the outcome of this?

I think China will probably do a better job of considering the allies of another country before it threatens again. That or the US will figure out whats up and hopefully help Taiwan in another way.
 
is it possible that IF war between the US and China does start can they agree to have a non nuclear war ( they arent actually attacking each other they are fighting over a third party)

Sure, I guess. We don't exactly use cannons and gunpowder to fight our wars anymore, so I'm not sure exactly how practical it is to think that they would do that..


But sure.
