Careful you two, don't go turning this into some weird Internet Vendetta. Remember, it's just not worth it.

Lets get back on topic.

I'll start. What satellites pass over that region we should be concerned about? Or do we have that information?


Also, should the people of China be fearful. This could be a means of ensuring against an uprising in the future... I'm not making claims as two who would want to uprise against the Chinese government, or when... but the range of those missiles places the majority of the targets within China itself.


[edit] With the world going the way it is, it's best if you two become friends. Knowing what each others country is up to may be a benefit to your survival in the future.

Anything is possible, you can also theorize it is as a backup plan for when China is invaded by some evil powers. And if you are the Chinese leaders & army, you might want to make contingency plans. Even for the most loved leader of any country. Who is not doing that most likely will not even be very fit for this leadership position.

Just look at that screenshot, and that post of that anonymous poster. It is certain not representing most of the common people's view. But I bet more people are hardliners like this guy, some maybe holding powerful decisive positions.

So if you ask me, then I would even request any ruling government to be rather safe and secure in protecting everyone instead of neglecting any possibilities. My take is that we have plenty of missiles all over China pointed at whichever direction. And when a nuclear war really is broken out, that China will guanrantee a mutual destruction. This is most likely the most important weapon to avoid a war with war/invading-hungry imperialists.

This screenshot is to proof to you that I have a valid reason to make my comment to the moderators. Because when I saw that on my screen, I assume it was passed and posted. Now it is probably pulled. Who knows.

I'm not getting at you here, but the people of Taiwan do have a very real fear of invasion from China.

I have a personal friend who is over here in Canada from Taiwan. His father is under scrutiny by the authorities for his son not returning (but that's another story.)

I've consoled him on numerous occasions, on his fears of what China may do to reclaim control over Taiwan.


On the other hand, Taiwan is making some rather stupid moves towards their separation. They seem to be taunting China. With no superpowers to back them up, this is pretty ludicrous.

I don't expect China will make any rash decisions with regards to what to do about Taiwan. But if push came to shove, and China needed the extra man-power in the event of a war, they wouldn't hesitate to re-claim Taiwan to gain the extra manpower.


Here in North America, we Canadians have a pretty real fear of what the US might do if they ran low on resources. At the moment, we provide the US with the majority of their necessary resources. Heck, we even power much of their country with our nuclear reactors by selling electricity to them.
In the event that the US became too poor to purchase our resources, and had a desperate need for them, we fear they may decide to simply annex us.

Problem with that is, most Canadians are here for the rights and freedoms. A US annex against us would directly conflict with that, and there would be a civil uprising against any US occupiers.

Granted, this could only happen if the US economy collapses... but with the US economy struggling more and more each day... this fear is starting become more and more real.



These fears aren't just in your country, they're worldwide, with regards to many nations.
I'm sure the Cubans also have a very real fear of the US at the moment as well.

Estonia has a very real and present fear of Russia, and what they may do to them for joining NATO instead of the Russian Federation.
(Rightly so, Russia has recently been attempting to crash certain communication systems in Estonia through use of cyber warfare...
I was involved with building the equipment Estonia uses in their new counter cyber-intelligence center. Not really advanced, but I can claim pride in being involved.)

So you see, these fears of what the superpowers might do aren't just in China. People all over the world are afraid of China, the US, Russia, and many other countries.

By now I believe that the unscreened anonymous post I saw might be simply a bug of this "screening-system". And you will only see the unscreened posts if the thread is not that long yet, and when you have clicked to make a post reply. Ah who knows, I still frown at posts made from anonymous posters, don't believe it is contributing much to a real discussion...

In a convential regional "conflict", yeah, Taiwan is very important and too strategic for China. But in an all-out war with another nuclear power (US and so on), nothing is important, just make sure you have fired off your whole arsenal of nukes, Taiwan is then merely a piece of rock.

"Anonymous Poster" is a general anonymous account for people who want to post anonymously in ATS. This is a new system introduced. Supposedly each single post will have to be screened by a moderator before it is allowed to be passed or not. I can't imagine the workload for these volunteers. So supposedly if it is not passing the screen, we as normal members of ATS should not be able to see the post of this "anonymous poster". So when i did saw it on my monitor (see screenshot) I assumed it was screened and passed, that's why my complaint. (Not whining *wink to Jetxnet*)
