China has double the active military numbers, even reserve numbers, a third more tanks, almost 10x more artillery units, almost double the amount of aircraft, a navy almost 3x the size of Indias, and 3x the defense budget
I feel like China would make quick work of India

Of course ROC won't take it over, it has neither the man power or resources to do so. I SAID, the ccp SHOULD be overthrown and the ROC reinstalled.
"Whem ROC ruled, china was a mess." lol, wth man? even when the ccp took over it was still a mess! only through trade and politics with the US is what made this country grow. *Gasp* whats this? the US also dealed with ROK and now they themselves are first world? hmmm...
The PRC is a threat, newsflash, you live in the West! you eat from the West, you bath in the West and your ideology IS WEST. You're just being emotionally compromised over a few BS wars, forgetting or lacking thereof, the ability to understand natural human progression, to include baseless senseless wars.
You think, that if china becomes the reigning superpower, that all wars cease? we all go back to times of peace and individual freedoms? our internet won't be blocked?
What's simple is your mind and perspective to the issue. Chinas ascent to power will come at the cost of its neighbors blood through physical confiscation, via its Military.
Reality is hard to swallow, but it is what it is, I'll buy you a pint to ease the realities as they sink in.
I'm all for it, the ccp needs to cease existing. In case some might wonder, I have a strong dislike for the ccp.
Yes, I did, the CCP, I'm all for it. What? did you think I would deny it? no.

The best way for China to be united is not by ROC. But by another neutral chinese faction that rises. ROC has been equally corrupt since Sun Yat Sen died. Chiang is a joke. KMT is becoming more and more like an occult. Even the name sucks. It just doesn't sound right.
We all know this is going to happen because of three things.
#1 USA constant meddling.
#2 Nukes.
#3 India who will try to expand to Tibet in excuse to protect Dalai which is a highly false attempt to block Chinese access.
Make that four, this includes animals in the area. Most likely going to be replace by other country colonizers. The areas with Pandas def belongs to China, you can't say no to that.

What are you talking about! Most countries are corrupt, most countries have done terrible things, yes, even china, so why are you just picking on one country?
What country are you from?
You say you would be happy for china to be nuked, just to get rid of the regime, and in the next sentence you talk about human rights. And you have a cheek to call me a hypocrite! So you are happy for thousands of men, women and children, to be slaughtered, just because you do not like their government! People like you make me sick!
What i do have over you is the fact that I have lived and travelled china. I am gathering you have not stepped foot in china, so do not know what it is like.
China is not perfect, far from it, but tell me a country that is perfect?

But what about the phones and shoes and clothes and dished and tires and chairs and clocks and watches.......
Who will make the stuff I pay an arm and leg for at slave labor prices?
We might all get decent jobs again whereby the greedy corporations are forced to pay a living wage with benefits.
Sure, everyone would get "decent jobs" again, but the cost of goods due to the cost of manufacturing would skyrocket
You do realise that with manufacturing jobs going overseas to slave labour countries like China and India, all that has changed is the corporations are making bigger profits?
You do realise that just because they are now making most consumer products dirt cheap in third world crap holes, they aren't passing those savings on to the consumers in the west?...
The whole point of manufacturing moving to the third world was for bigger corporate profits.
If corporations are reigned in, there's no reason why cost of consumer products should rise. Corporations would simply make a smaller profit.
That simply isnt true.
Have you ever looked into creating/manufacturing a product?
I have. I have spoken with with manufacturers and sourcing companies here in the US, and over in China.
Its not even close.
I have a product, that will only sell in the market id I can hit a price point under $40 per unit.
In China, I can manufacture it for $20, Ship it for $12, then I have all my other expenses etc. It leaves me a profit of about $5 per unit.
I looked into manufacturing here in the US, to save on shipping.
The manufacturing is $45 alone.
I wouldnt be able to sell it at that higher price point, no one would buy it.
Its so much more expensive to manufacture here due to labor costs and lack of sourcing infrastructure.
If I made it here in the US, to even squeeze a penny profit out of it, Id have to sell it for like $70
Wheres the China manufactured one is 37.99 out the door making me $5 a unit.
Benefits the consumer and myself. Moreso the consumer.

They have no choice because of USA military. Refuse to follow companies order, this started happening after Cold War Era, you see the infiltration of US military? Cold War vets are already rolling. Look what happened to Africa or South America, rich white people from US or has US influence build companies over there. If the Gov doesn't accept it, their country won't make money to survive or when they try killing greedy people, US send troops in calling it civil war. USA spec ops are becoming more and more like mercenaries protecting the rich.

You either accept them or get invaded. If China didn't accept them. The whole alliance against China will come in. They can't invade either India or China because of a few reasons.
#1 Russia is there, this will be green light for Russian support.
#2 A race thing. You do not want a united race war against you, this will cause WW3 instantly as US itself will become a race war. Blacks and Asians have US internally. Also green light for UN to switch sides(thank god for UN).
#3 Manpower. Yes, before automation you need man power. Seems most white people don't want to do the jobs that the corporations wants. This is actually Capitalism competition for wealth. If US starts keeping watch on companies and threatening them from moving, then everyone knows they are fascist. Kind of like two sides of the same coin.

Corruption, human rights abuse, you're just a chinese communist sympathizer, but you know what? that's cool, that's all you.
Doesn't change the fact and you're also a hypocrite, you don't know about the "future", just the now. Yet, ignore or turn a blind eye, given their track record, NOT ANY BETTER and far worse.
But hey, you just outted yourself, no wonder you defend them vigourously. Pretty sad yo.
