@kshen7485 So then why don't they just do it? All this talk doesn't mean jack squat. ""Chinese dread finality. They prefer to keep matters dangling, with definitive action eternally postponed. The strategy of settling things by striking while the iron is hot, so to speak, never seems to enter into their military calculations. Hence it is common for an army to set out against another with all sorts of ballyhoo about intended annihilation, yet when the two armies clash along the skirmish line, both will lapse into a torpid poise, and remain race to face for months with nothing happening. The soldiers of each army will fraternize with the other, with many desertions across the lines both ways." - "Ways that are dark: The Truth About China" by Ralph Townsend " - "Ways that are dark: The Truth About China" by Ralph Townsend (Former US Consul who lived in 1930s China)

@kshen7485 China's rising? Is that what state propaganda told you despite the failing housing market, faltering economy, and rampant joblessness?

HoLeeFook68 Don't forget Philippines and South Korea. They will be prompted to attack as well.
