Due to a raging dispute with Japan over islands in the East China Sea, the Chinese army has heightened its military exercises on all fronts, including aerial drills by its air force in Tibet as well as by special forces. Chinese state-run CCTV has reported special operations forces from the PLA have begun an annual set of military drills which are aimed at training reconnaissance capabilities and survival skills.
Included in this article China navy is exercising to capturing islands. Looks like china is preparing its forces to engage what it is needed for it to settle the disputes for the "island claims". Specially since there's no foresight diplomatic means to settle disputes. Most of us know preparing military for a conflict for any nation is standard. But is there more to meet the eye? Like the Falklands War?
Let's keep a subtle eye on this as we can, even though the bigger picture lies in the middle east.edit on 16-9-2012 by Shax35 because: (no reason given)edit on 16-9-2012 by Shax35 because: (no reason given)

CHINA and other Asian countries could end up at war over territorial disputes if governments keep up their "provocative behaviour", US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta has said.
"I am concerned that when these countries engage in provocations of one kind or another over these various islands, that it raises the possibility that a misjudgment on one side or the other could result in violence, and could result in conflict," Mr Panetta said, when asked about a clash between Japan and China.
"And that conflict would then have the potential of expanding."

I have been saying it for a while. I have a really bad feeling about China. Call it fear mongering on my part. I want people to appreciate the gravity of the situation.
IMO China does not even fear a nuclear holocaust. They would go all out into war if they thought it best for them since they really think they could survive anything.
I foresee my eventual deployment, once I enlist being to china. I don't know. I don't think I will go to the middle east. By the time I square things where I am, get back to the states, enlist, go through basic and deploy, I expect to need to buy a Chinese to English handbook.
I really think we will go to war with China, and I think Russia will eventually be our ally. Not at first, but I see China going all out.
EDIT:
I think the whole thing will erupt by Chinese mines. I have a very strong feeling that deep/ fast rising Chinese mines will erupt the whole situation.

Their military is very weak compared to ours even though we can't even afford a tank (but we have tons of them!).

In some ways I hope this war happens because I've been having anxiety for when China will act out of aggression and wage war against other first world nations.

This is in a sense supporting the Iranians dont you think?
The chinese are drawing off manpower and sip power from the gulf war thats about to kick off......
They are making it more difficult to free up western military from the pacific for the gulf sitution........
I am not sayin it their sole reason for this....but its a win win for them both ......China may not dare to send troops to iran, or aircrraft to its defense....but they can push in these other areas to keep the west from drawing strength from those places for battle in the middle east....
This actually amounts to a whole aircraft carrier battle droup, as the US will be reluctant to send the Lincoln too far afield from Japan....or Okinawa i think.....
Also aircraft stationed on Japan could have been deiverted to the middle east if the situation with Cjhina and NK were more stable....

Perhaps you are right. This depends on our corrupted government.

Wrong!
It is the corrupted bureaucrat in CCP don't want, but as Chinese we all believe there are few good remain, and for removing those corruption, a war for territorial integrity is the best way to unveil those traitor. And a democratic China is what US do not want to see. Japanese are ignored, they have no idea how did UK treat with the Great revolution of France

Actually I want this war coming as soon as possible and much more mercilessly than you want. Only war and atomicbombs are able to save our people from corrupted regime, and we will see the boss stand at JAPAN's back will be glad to deal with DF-41 for an unmand DiaoYu Island.
