Chinese would be kicked in the Indian Ocean and would be gone sooner than they came.
With fights with India, Vietnam, Phillipines, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan there is nothing but trouble for Chinese Navy.
There is no mention of the book in the first post except a link to wikipedia

By Tom Clancy with Mark Greaney
#1 New York Times bestselling author Tom Clancy is back and the stakes have never been higher.
Jack Ryan has only just moved back into the Oval Office when he is faced with a new international threat. An aborted coup in the People's Republic of China has left President Wei Zhen Lin with no choice but to agree with the expansionist policies of General Su Ke Qiang. They have declared the South China Sea a protectorate and are planning an invasion of Taiwan.
The Ryan administration is determined to thwart China's ambitions, but the stakes are dangerously high as a new breed of powerful Chinese anti-ship missile endangers the US Navy's plans to protect the island. Meanwhile, Chinese cyberwarfare experts have launched a devastating attack on American infrastructure. It's a new combat arena, but it's every bit as deadly as any that has gone before.
Jack Ryan, Jr. and his colleagues at the Campus may be just the wild card that his father needs to stack the deck. There's just one problem: someone knows about the off-the-books intelligence agency and threatens to blow their cover sky high.
I don't see why Vietnam, Philipines, Japan, Thailand and even Taiwan would fight China in India Ocean? It is more realistic that Indian navy comes to South China sea to fight for them if Indians are stupid enouogh.Chinese would be kicked in the Indian Ocean and would be gone sooner than they came.

India? you know your navy right?Chinese would be kicked in the Indian Ocean and would be gone sooner than they came.

If it were me I would just harass your shipping lanes to draw you out of the cocoon. That would be a wiser choice.I don't see why Vietnam, Philipines, Japan, Thailand and even Taiwan would fight China in India Ocean?

One doesn't need much of a navy to fight a floating casino!India? you know your navy right?
Phillipines? does it have a Navy?
Vietnam? Does it have a Navy?

Threat Vector, by Tom Clancy with Mark Greaney
Threat Vector
I will wait for the movie. The only Clancy book I have read is The Hunt for Red October.I just started on that book yesterday.
What a well researched book that was!!!!.I will wait for the movie. The only Clancy book I have read is The Hunt for Red October.
sir - you raised 5 pts above - let me deal with them(1) Very old indian proverb says that wise men do not burn their hands in fighting others fires. We must look to sort out our problems with china ourselves and
(2) shud not join others in creating a block against china. However Chanakaya also stated that enemy of the enemy is always a friend.
(3)We have made substantial progress in resolving our border row with china and inspite of 1962 episode,
(4) they are not our enemy. We must as a counter to the encirclemnt policy of china create a counter block but
(5) we shud never get directly involved in a confrontation with china.
sir - you raised 5 pts above - let me deal with them
(1) we indian tend to be rather bookish and there are good and not so good aspects about that - the not so good is that we tend to get set in our ways and not adapt to the new circumstances quoting chanaky a and all that was great for the last century - remember nehru quoted someone else and now we have lost strategic territory in NE and NE kashmir
(2) - a coalition of nations is the ONLY way to handle the dragon - the simple explanation is that there we dont have to carry the entire burden and it is quite something of a burden there -
(3) we have made ZERO ....I REPEAT ZERO PROGRESS in resolving the border dispute with dragon despite 14 high level consultations alternatively in each others capital cities ....sorry sir ZERO PROGRESS !
(4) not our enemy ? well not outwardly ....... the dragon has covertly been most CONSISTENT in one thing - blocking india and keeping us in check in all possible manner -
(5) this point is the only one i can agree with but it is IMPRACTICAL ......because the dragon who is the one who is initiating confrontation against us and we cant elect to not get involved so again your idea falls through
..... best regards
Sheep dont have many enemies, but then americans cant be wise because we would help a man fight his fire.Very old indian proverb says that wise men do not burn their hands in fighting others fires.
