    Fun historical fact, one of the main reasons the PLA couldn’t pursue the ROC during their retreat to Taiwan was because the ROC retained greater control over the Chinese Navy. Following the ROC’s retreat, the PLA in China didn’t have a functioning navy, as the ROC had essentially “stolen” it.

      There was also the Battle of Hainan. In addition to retreating to Taiwan, about 200,000 RoC troops retreated to the Island of Hainan, which is just East of Vietnam. In 1950, the Communist regime invaded that island, using more than 300 junks to move troops across the strait. Although the RoC ships and aircraft inflicted about 4,000 casualties on the communist troops, as the strait was much more narrower than the one between Taiwan and the mainland, they could not stop the majority of the troops getting ashore. The RoC troops had to evacuate or surrender. While this was successful, Mao and his Generals realized that the wider strait and the likelihood of intervention by the US Navy meant that using an extemporized fleet of junks would probably fail to invade Taiwan.

And I always find it funny how many people hate americans, but they are the only one keeping both russia and china from invading everything around them, people really need to know politics to appreciate what US has done to keep peace but at the same time instigate all these fear, though I know for sure the "fear mongering" by Russian and Chinese governments are just tools for them to prepare for invasion and still gain the support of their citizens.

      The north of the Great Wall is not Chinese territory. It was ruled by Mongols, Manchurians, and Koreans. Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall to block the so-called Northern Orangkai. Later, China was conquered by the Mongolia and also Kim(金) Dynasty founded by descendants of korean Kim Ham-bo.
      Manjuwonryugo (滿洲源流考), compiled during the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, also reveals that the national name 金(kim) Dynasty is also derived from the family name 金(kim)of King of Silla(ancient korea).
      Also china wad ruled by the Manchurians for 300 years(Qing dynasty)
      Professor Sugihara, who presented "Japan's Bronze Age from Korea", said, "The Bronze Age came to Japan from 100 BC to AD50, the end of the Korean Bronze Age society." In Japan, the Iron Age and the Bronze Age were passed down at the same time during the Yayoi period, and the Bronze Age was used only for ancestral rites, so it seems that it went straight to the Iron Age without going through the Bronze Age."
      Around 100 BC ~ Ancient civilization began in Japan when Koreans landed with iron weapons in Japan, where primitive people lived during the Stone Age. Japanese history is the history of the Korean people.
      Japanese civic group claims, "It is the same as the annexation of Korea and Japan, reunification of East and West Germany." 2018-11-2008:30 A report was sent to the U.N. Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in Korea to demand "correct the fabrication of facts in Korea." // Japanese Yayoi are Koreans.. Chinese = Vietnamese gene... Korean Japanese = Siberian gene. "Our direct ancestors are members of the ancient Asian and Tungus ethnic group that migrated from Siberia in the Neolithic Age, and linguistically belong to the Altai ethnic group." "In addition to the Yayoi (Yamato people) of the Doraein line who crossed from the Korean Peninsula, there are also the Ainu lineal descendants of the Jomon people of the indigenous people of the Japanese archipelago."

      Tindal is a mere speck on the world war platform. It needs to be ungraded immediately with an expansion suitable to its importance to the new geopolitical situation. Australian military forces have always been focused on defending Tasmania or possibly that big red rock in the middle, but has never been placed in an area where those military forces could project or defend Australia. A time for conscription is near and well past time that the present forces are paid a decent wage reflecting their specialities, their commitment and to attract new enlistments .What other big corporation has such poor conditions for their employees? In Australia, any young person can go to the big mines or big engineering companies to earn three times the wages for much less commitment.

    US military terminology: "deployed" implies impermanent presence, which could be work trips and so on. I think the word you are looking for as far as US presence in SK and Japan is "stationed", which is a large majority of those numbers you mention. These are troops, and their families, who have picked up their belongings and moved there on a "permanent" basis, with the expectation to move out after 2-6 years.
    Meanwhile we have troops "deployed" in eastern Europe, as we have not STATIONED them as in moved all their belongings, but rather packed up a bag and flown them there for a few weeks or months.

      Super important point, it was the lack of nuclear power that made the French deal worthless for the Aussie fleet needs, which were essentially generated by Chinese posturing and aggression, and caused them to reconsider, as well as the fact that the US and UK chose to release very important sub tech to the Aussies in an effort to button up the pacific.

Of the other 2, one (Liaoning) was 60-70 percent built in Ukraine for the Soviet Navy and then sold to China to be completed for the PLAN and the other (Shandong) was built entirely in China but still based on the Soviet design.

You spent what I feel is about the correct amount of time on explaining the supporting evidence while not getting sidetracked into informational rabbit holes. I was able to follow your thesis and if I want to question your premises; they are presented very clearly so that I could very easily research them myself.
    You communicated your points with the right amount of clarity and were engaging without patronizing or boring the audience.

    A good report - - -In fact, as a former strategic planning analyst, I find it fascinating that our media technology and information access has progressed to the point of providing an hour-long detailed accounting of the US forces, deployment, capabilities, locations, weapon systems and likely combat tactics in such detail prior to a possible engagement with our potential future enemy. In WWI and even in the Cold War, people were shot or imprisoned for revealing such information at this level of detail. It can be argued that this is simply an elaborate warning sign in the best traditions of the MAD Doctrine but it might be equally valid for China (PRC) to interpret all this as details of the US offensive capabilities for a first-strike invasion of PRC. This latter interpretation is one that Russia has believed for most of the last 75 years.

    Would a submarine expert clarify this for me, correct me if I'm wrong, I heard diesel subs can be more stealthy which I'm doubting, but in my opinion a seawolf class sub although older compared to Virginia class newer subs, I think seawolf would still wipe the floor of any other attack sub in the world, kind of easily or am I wrong? I've heard we couldn't build another seawolf or f-22 for that matter if we wanted to based on manufacturing techniques not possible for various reasons anymore. Both cost a shit ton to develop and produce and both programs were cut short for different reasons. F-22 was no longer needed after cold war-no competition and still to this day. But I think we made a mistake with seawolf by heaping out and ending production. I F a expert could say if seawolf is missing upgradable technology that Virginia has or something would be helpful. If you know what your talking about please respond, I'm very curious on this. BTW if China wants to embarrass themselves on a monumental level go ahead give it a try dumbasses! Lol!

    very informative video, just a slight correction. The capabilities China is building up is Anti Access/Area Denial, often called A2/AD, not A2D2, which wouldn't match the words it stands for.

    You forgot to mention Diego Garcia and point it on the map, US Military Base in the Indian Ocean. I think that base would play a crucial role in the event of a war with China.

    20:28 - The Philippine Navy leases around a third of what was once Hanjin Shipyard now named Naval Operating Base Subic and the remaining portion is owned by an American equity firm. It's located on the northeastern part of the bay, closer to it's exit to the South China Sea. It however was not part of the once known Subic Naval Base which was on the western side of the bay.

    Just a footnote: B-52s are designed to carry nuclear bombs, but they also are very good at laying sea mines. The US has upgraded its nautical mines, and a B-52 unit did a concept test off Hawaii earlier this year. Look where RAAF Tindal is, and at the sea lanes where the Chinese move their oil supplies. The B-52s can do a lot of damage without escalating to a nuclear exchange.

    • @nanbutinanquibotiqui

      The Chinese can also do a lot of damage to the B52s. America's aircraft carriers (today's dinosaurs) are sitting ducks for China's DF carrier killer hypersonic missiles. Don't think that the US military is invincible. Just remember the Titanic. And the US just lost the Afghanistan war and will soon lose the Ukraine war as was widely reported. The US fled Vietnam without winning the war in 1975. It was forced to a truce in the Korean war after the Chinese army pushed the US military out of North Korea. Don't think that the US military is superior - not at all. The US is good at talking big and bullying other countries.

      The sea lanes are also use by Japan & Korea, and also commercial ships that move goods to South East Asia and beyond. Anyway, for oil, could easily come from Central Asia & Russia, via land & deserts right? BTW, these days nuclear bombs are carried by intercontinental ballistic missile and supersonic missiles, not planes.
