Tiananment appeared to have different results though, not surprisingly, as well as Mao Zedong.

Damien435 said:Right right, we just keep a fleet in the straights to protect their independence and sell them military gear to defend themselves from Chinese aggression, but nothing "official". My mistake.
sandy said:The topic has missed from the subject.
most problem,basically the missile hit rate is very low .
For instance,
by James Dunnigan
The hit rate of the western missile such as Harpoon is about 10% in the actual combat.
And, the hit rate of the missile of Russia is from 0% to about 3%.
Moreover, this is a figure with the backup situation that Russia enhanced.
as Legenda-System or TU-95.
Therefore, judging from these information,
The hit rate of Chinese missile might be about 0,7% in the actual combat.
Damien435 said:Not even China trusts Iran or North Korea with nukes, China (rightfully so) trusts Kim so little that they send very little aid to North Korea because it will all go to feeding the soldiers and political elite, not the average Joe who needs it. China, along with the EU, US and Russia is trying to stop the enrichment of Uranium on Iranian soil.
BTW, China's relationship with North Korea is quite official. I don't know if you know this or not, but you also kind of proved my point with your statement.

1. Lol..that shows you have never been to China…my dad is currently in China right now and he has high-speed internet (I tried it last year back in China…not bad). And google is like a really really tiny search engine in China right now, we got sina, baidu, sohu and all those big ones . In china right now, forums are everywhere and everyday people are shitting communist government….who can catch them?? no one, clearly you have never been to china and do not know mandarin
2. China cut off its tie with Pope because Vatican has diplomatic tie with Taiwan (China cuts ties with any nation that has diplomatic tie with Taiwan), the Pope is currently considering this issue and there will be some big change soon. By the way, all catholics in China are loyal to the pope, that is something you cannot restrict.
3. dude. Not sure about your third point, what do you mean on that?
4. People only get exucated in China for mass murder or drug crimes. Consider how big the population China has and density of the population, the number of criminals is pretty much normal at that level. Since 1980s, rarely a political prisoner (I haven’t heard of any, although my parents know the Police Chief of Taiyuan ( a city of 2 million people) got shot in China. Again, if you go into a Chinese forum, all sorts of people are critizaint the government, you can go check out yourself.
Every nation has poor people. I saw those people in New Orlean got abandoned ,should I say U.S sucks? You know even in China, soldiers gave up their lives to save civilians during the 1998 flood.
5. China has like hundreds and thousands of newspare and hundreds of TV stations…there are a greater deal of freedom of speech right now, ask Bulldog, he knows.

I like the "One China" party line that most nations are toting these days. They say in public that it is one nation yet behind closed doors they are trying to keep three seperate governments (PRC, Taiwan and Hong Kong) and posibly try to create four nations out of this mess (China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Tibet, although the latter is a lost cause. But they, "Free Tibet" has a nice ring to it.)
Sorry about getting snippy earlier, got a lot on my mind.
ASTRALdragon said:Actually, I studied all these things from the news. So if you're saying the Associated Press is lying...
Actually, I DO speak Mandarin. I'm trilingual (English, Vietnamese, and Chinese-Mandarin). I took Mandarin for 2 years as my foreign language requirement in high school and then an additional 3 quarters in college because I needed to fill up some GEs. I also entered into a foreign study program in college where I ended up living with my relatives in Beijing for 10 months taking classes at the University of Beijing. It was quite fun (food and lovely ladies always make it good), but it was also quite an eye-opening experience, which made me value all the freedoms and rights I enjoy here in the US. Granted the method in which I learned Mandarin was not the greatest (pinyin kind of sucks), I know enough Mandarin to get around.
Eh I tire of this, plus it is getting way off topic.
