How would China manage three fronts?

[Armand2REP]

Taiwan wants F-35B. China's missiles have poor CEP so they will have to launch air-strikes.

oh~ taiwan want f35! then, when? when will taiwan got it?
China's missiles have poor CEP, compare with who? chini missiles is superior when coparing with indian missiles.

Chinese missiles are superior to Indian missiles when it comes to range not in terms of accuracy.Once Agni 5 is operational we will have entire china in range.

The Thing is that, China cant afford to fight a war with Taiwan now. The Recent Trade agreement is a proof of that. If this was the China of the 60s and 70s, ofcourse they would have tried to take back Taiwan, but in the 21st Century, Wars between Countries, especially with some parity in Military Power, is not at all feasible, for the growth of a Country, which relies on Peace, and Control, like China.

Now, coming to topic. Yes, the Taiwanese Airforce is at par with the PLAAF, but it wont be for long. The J10s and all might not be as proven as the F16s or the M2000s, but there are quite a lot of them, and if its a swarm attack, like the ones seen in WW2 (with PLAAF, anythings possible) then the ROCAF will have a tough time.

The ROCAF needs a Short Take off and Landing Aircraft at the earliest, because the first things thats gonna be bombed are the Air Bases and Runways, by hundreds of Chinese Cruise Missiles and all. So it becomes all the more important for the F35ST variant

The Chinese will have to land troops in Taiwan to take control, but then, again, logistics will prove to be a dampener, especially with the USA keeping a watchful eye.

All in all, I dont see War happening with ROC anytime soon! If only China was the Sole Super power, we could have discussed such scenarios in depth! Till then, its all trade and dollar reserves for China! God Speed

Actually, the ROCAF has almost twice as many F-16s (144) as the PLAAF has J-10s (80). The PLAAF can only "swarm" with their antique J-7s and Q-5s, and if they do, it will result in massive air losses for the PRC.

I think this scenario is not only improbable, but also highly unrealistic - SK ROC and India together against PRC/ NK? Not going to happen in the next 100 years ... after that? Who knows? It might be PRC, USA and India vs aliens from alpha century ...

 

[roma]

quite honestly the scenarios offered by a a nuclear-armed JAPAN ( they easily have the technology and may get US approval following the growth of immense PRC) would be more interesting and indeed more likely .

Hate to tell you this but I was in China, specifically with the Beijing Garrison when I was a Major. Timeline, 1987.

hahah ,what a anqitue experience!....hahah

With South China Sea issues with Vietnam, China surely has created an hostile environment with Vietnam. Taiwan is already in China wish list. They are favoring NK in every way to counter SK and Japan. They have vested interest in Korean Peninsula.

SK, Japan, Taiwan and Vietnam currently dont have any such plans to join hands against China, but US is making sure that this happens and has already set its plan in motion. It now wants India to join in the alliance.

Japan, SK and Taiwan navy's are enough to counter PLAN. Taiwan AF alone is half of China's. We know what Vietnam are capable of after the Vietnam war and the Sino-Vietnam conflict. China must tread carefully with these countries. Only difference is China has nuclear weapons.

And if India joins the party, China really should be concerned.

So whats stopping them from this axis, Chinese pressure or differences between each other or maybe non of them are taking Chinese threat seriously or else till now they should have come together to form an alliance.

^^^ India though is vary of China but also depends on it for electronics. Both have a billion dollar trade industry. Both want to outsmart the other but also need each other when it comes to trade. Joining the axis will hurt India in trade. Also India may join the axis when it is absolutely sure of an imminent military threat from China.

But surely behind the scenes Indian agencies will help the axis.

Its a very unrealistic scenario.. The whole scenario depends on one single thing.. Position of america.. North korea and South korea is a local conflict.. North is bound to fall.. I dont think china will muddy its hands by interfering militarily although it might it supply arms and armaments to North.. Also for the Taiwan frontier, china will not attack Taiwan, as it would lead to immediate reprisal from Americans.. Also Taiwan will never attack China as its whole military is defensive in mature.. And lastly to the Indian frontier, india will fine it difficult to cross himalaya and proceed. Maximum it can liberate tibet.. Such an attack would be suicidal for india untill and unless America has India's back..
