The Return of the CENTRAL EMPIRE? How CHINA CHALLENGES the US military - VisualPolitik EN

Join the VisualPolitik community and support us on Patreon: / visualpolitik
In 2020, the base US military budget was US$778 billion, while China's spending barely exceeded US$250 billion. In other words, today Uncle Sam more than triples the military spending effort of the Land of the Three Kingdoms.
So the question is, does China really need to compete in terms of budget to rival the American giant? In this video we tell you the plan with which Xi Jinping's government wants to bring the United States of America's army to an equal footing.

    The total defense expenditure in USD between nations without accounting for labor, energy, compliance and other costs or exchange rates is a meaningless metric. Obviously the cost of producing and sustaining weapons systems and paying service members are much lower in China than they are in the US. Why would you use spending in USD as a basis for defense capability comparison?

    There is so much on the China situation in the media; and rightly so. China and the South China sea is a focal point for much fr a substantial chunk of world trade. China in 2021 is light years away from where it was in the 70's. 500 million Chinese folk now out of poverty; their government must have done something right. I still think it is a paradox that the Communist Party has embraced the free market and capitalism to fuel their growth ambitions. An emerging power will have a growing military in order to protect its sovereignty and interests. I do not believe that China wants to invade and occupy other country's - apart from Taiwan that is. Yes they may have ambitions to control countries where these further their interests. In this day and age there is no need to occupy a country in order to control it.

    Yes, unfortunately the current government in Taiwan has been trying to anger China. In the past, China has been trying to promote the peaceful reunification of Taiwan, including educating Chinese young people to love Taiwanese. But now most Chinese people believe that peaceful reunification is hopeless and that reunification by force is the only way. In fact, Beijing has been suppressing such public opinion and public anger, but the Taiwanese government has become increasingly provocative, including language and actions. In addition, border disputes with India may also trigger wars. On the surface, India hopes to use the McMahon Line left over from the British colonial period as its national border, but in fact many northern areas of the McMahon Line have been eroded by India. The war in 1962 did not make them abandon the "Advance Policy." In recent conflicts, Indians crossed the line of actual control and entered China's control. The background in photos and videos is evidence. China has no intention of invading India. China's territory is large enough and its population is large enough. We have been solving the poverty problem for decades. If we occupy India, we need to help them solve more poverty problems, economic problems, especially health problems. I dare not shake hands with them, and I don’t want to eat their food and water. The first problem for any country to occupy India is to build toilets. China is not so generous.

    The PRC, when it emerged as a Unified Country (from decade of division) in 1949, the USA again threatened China with a War in Korea. USA threatened to Nuke China at the time. Then again, during Taiwan straits Crisis of 1957, USA threatened to Nuke China. For over a hundred years (from early 1800's to mid 1900's) the West has divided, and humiliated China. Invasion of China and burning/looting of Chinese cities, Extraterritoriality, Opium Wars, Bombardment coastal Cities. It is time for China to take back what is rightfully Chinese.

You'll never find any Pentagon assessment that reads any other way. Get used to it. The deal with hypersonic weapons is that they make virtually zero sense to the Pentagon, the Beltway or Congress. That's why the US let the Russians and the Red Chinese spend large while ignoring this new techno-gambit. Never forget that hypersonic warheads shrink payload and range. This is a direct consequence of flying through the upper-atmosphere instead of the vacuum of space. Of course, all IRMBs and ICBMs are hypersonic, too. Russia and Red China are launching their hypersonic warheads atop plain vanilla ICBMs -- something that the Press keeps omitting.

    This, as usual doesn’t take a lot of factors into perspective. The Chinese live in a much more dangerous neighborhood and while I don’t think the US should underestimate them the only thing they really can do is become a regional power because they can never commit a significant force overseas which it would require to take on the US. The elephant in the room is that the world from the US perspective is still small and even if you could destroy the US control in the area which is highly unlikely they can still reach it and touch you in a very destructive way. They also have partnerships with S Korea, Japan and India just to make a few which are no slouches either. Even if China managed to form stable alliances with, say Pakistan and Russia which is very unlikely they have world class militaries on their doorstep and Japan has recently began to build up against both China and Russia and they are in a good situation being that they already have 3 aircraft carriers with F-35s and don’t forget about England, France and India who have recently brought their aircraft carriers to the region and I don’t think it’s just symbolic. They have a plan to confront the threat of China and while they make a good show of it they’re in a very desperate situation for sure and with the corruption in their government I would tend to say they are a paper dragon. They remind me so much of Iraq because on paper this all looks good but it is all built on a shaky foundation that’s full of corruption and while the US is in a state of relative division atm we will likely come together in the face of a large threat. Something like sinking an American aircraft carrier would have the opposite affect that is if they can be sunk so they have a lot to make up for whereas the US is really in a much better position to dictate terms

    China is already a regional superpower and its influence on Asia has surpassed the U.S. in recent years. However, China's exponential growth do come with some major issues. Since the vid is looking at China external prospects I will not talk about its internal problem for the sake of argument. For starter, China's influence on the region and CCP's foreign policies are not very amicable to say the least. China has managed to force Japan to expand its national army which has been restrained by the Japanese Constitution and public opinion since WW2. The south east nations such as Vietnam and Philippines are also on the edge due to China recent territorial claims in their national waters. The irony of the situation is that Taiwan may benefit from the volatility and hostility within the Indo-Pacific region since the U.S. and surrounding countries may consider to help Taiwan becoming a thorn at China side to curb down the CCP's overbearing approach. After the Hong Kong incident in 2020, the international community has become more sympathetic to Taiwan struggle. And we may even see a massive event in the coming decade which Taiwan can be recognized as a genuine nation or the CCP just straight up invade them under the cause of "reunification". My point is, the CCP's foreign policies has made them the villain of the region and that can be dangerous. And if the coming U.S. administrations can get their heads out of their asses and play politics well, they can create a network of alliances that can hamper the growth of China.

    Last weekend we caught up with friends of my husband. It’s my first time to meet them. Both of them tried to pick my brain about what happened between mainland China and Taiwan. It’s funny they both used “will China INVADE Taiwan?” Apparently they only got one side story from the media. They have no idea about the civil war happened between CCP and national party before 1949. National party failed and ran to Taiwan. Both parties have never signed ceasefire agreement. If there wasn’t a Korea war, mainland China might take Taiwan back already. The last president of Taiwan was Mr. Ma from National Party who signed 92 agreement with CCP on One China policy. His term became the best relations between two sides. Later the DPP won the election and the current president Ms. Cai broke the agreement and tried to separate Taiwan from China. Even worse DPP once said they consider to allow US to set military base in Taiwan. Most people out of China don’t know Taiwan is not the sovereignty independent country in UN and most countries have diplomatic relations with China agree One China policy. If you are political leader in China, will you allow that happen? The west MSM will never tell you the whole story or maybe they even don’t know the history at all

    @@user-mn5cv1be1f it's true that most of the west do not know the complete story between China and Taiwan -- including myself. However, i know for a fact that the CCP wants to annex Taiwan because of the technological knowledge the West has imparted upon Taiwanese companies. The U.S. has been banning technological exports to Chinese companies and strong arm its allies to do the same. With its tradition of copying and then innovating western technologies, China has become dependent on the West to develop. The West has starting to realize the threats of letting China steal their technologies and taking countermeasures in recent years. This has made Taiwan become more enticing to the CCP with its technological manufactures and deposit of advance knowledge. Even the CCP realizes this dependency hence their efforts of creating a genuine high tech Chinese culture. However corruptions and the habit of poaching foreign talents rather culturing their own have made many of the projects failures. This is why recently Xi has vowed to unify Taiwan back into China.

    The thing that I think gives America the edge is innovation and immigration. China is still playing catch up and most of its weapons are partial or complete copies of existing aircraft, ships, weapons, and vehicles. The US innovates new technology that hasn’t been tried yet which is why you see a lot of failed projects and a lot of military concepts never put into production. This means while China is gearing up to match the American forces of today, America is constructing the military forces of tomorrow. As long as America can keep its best ideas out of Chinese ears, it will always have something that can give America the edge in an otherwise equally matched fight and equalize an otherwise lopsided fight. With immigration, the US has two advantages it can leverage against China: manpower and achievement. China has the largest amount of people in the world with a population of 1.4 billion people, which drastically outclasses America’s 332 million by a factor of four. However, America could simply offer American citizenship to anyone who joins the American military along with cashing in their alliances and the US can match the manpower of China. Secondly America can cash in on the gifted individuals from around the world by giving them a path to a better life like it has been doing for decades. Since America has been a melting pot for a long time now and China is very homogeneous, a prospective immigrant would feel much more at home in a culture that already has people from their own country and, in some cases, even their own architecture and food. The most notable example is Elon Musk. He was originally born in South Africa with ambitions to become a business owner and he became the richest man on earth and has made contributions to the American society that is already immeasurable, including to the military sector as reflected by the fact that Starlink was used to successfully connect military platforms to make military communication more difficult to disrupt, that the government commissioned SpaceX to use a rocket like Starship to deliver supplies to anywhere in the world within 1 hour, and that numerous American military satellites have been launched by SpaceX. Because of these reasons, I believe America will have the edge over China for the foreseeable future. The video was right in that the era of the US easily defeating China is coming to close if not already done. However, with the right will and military prowess, the US should win all things equal.

Probably by about 80-90% difference. - constructions and maintenance are far cheaper too. So if you truly break down both defense budget at the moment. They’ll probably be fairly close. If in the future china’s defense budget is the same as the US. It would mean that China would have a bigger budget compared to the US. Probably about 2-3x more spending because of lower wages and getting the same materials at a lower price.

    The metal that goes into building a weapon, ship or bullet cost roughly the same for China than for the USA...actually, most commodities have international markets that pretty much sets global prices, stuff like food, gasoline, technology, etc, will have a similar cost thru many countries with minimal variations. So the US budget being several times the Chinese budget actually does matter...a lot. The cost of labor or "mouths to feed", and their salaries might be marginally smaller for China... but inefficiency, larger baseline troops force levels, and the expensive catch-up costs of coming behind the curve in a technological arms race makes those labor savings a complete crapshoot. Truth be told the most expensive "currency" to acquire when it comes to war is EXPERIENCE...the US has plenty of institutional experience fighting many types of wars, with many different countries all over the globe...China in contrast has extremely limited experience actually fighting, and even less experience winning a large modern war. China has way more catch-up to do than their paper strength would suggest.

In fact China spent about the same on defense as US 2020Y interest payment on Fed debt. On debt, Chinese public debts are low, corporate and household debts are over 90% local currency which makes it manageable. You won't see another Argentina dollar crisis in China. Don't worry for China. Looks pretty good from here.

    Well, in a cage match on China's home turf your points have some relevance, but it completely misses a key point....which is that the US isn't alone in that region, while, especially from a military perspective, China is (with the one possible caveat being Russia, which is doubtful). So, it's not just the US regionally deployed military against the Chinese behemoth, it's the US regionally deployed military (backed up by the US's ability to transfer substantial forces from outside the region) AND the US regional allies, many of whom are equally alarmed by China's actions in the region. Then you have sort of quasi-alliances/nations that have narrowly aligned issues with China and align on this with the US and our formal allies, such as India. It's a much more complex equation than your video goes into, and I think your video is drawing conclusions that aren't really valid when you look a bit deeper.

    Few things to take into consideration. Military spending means different things in each country. Some countries like the USA include pensions, this therefore inflates the budget. Other support for arms countries or health care can also be found in budgets all of which obscures the real spending. Also China doesn't need a budget like the USA's because they don't have an international reach. China at present are a regional military power and therefore don't need 10+ aircraft carriers or dozens of military bases abroad therefore saving tens of billions per-year.

    US deficit is also at 125% of GDP and this is without a major war to fight. China is quite a lot lower and most likely would be fighting in her own backyard. The US would need to balance the Pacific War vs China to making sure her eastern coast still has adequate defences. The US dollar status does give US huge ability to have a large debt, but this is already been utilised to fund Biden's stimulus cheques. US deficit would probably need to return to at least pre-2008 levels to fight a major war (ideally about late 90s levels). US does have strong allies in the Pacific Japan, Australia, Taiwan, and to a lesser extent South Korea (they need to keep an eye on NK though) and India too but they are limited by geography (Himalayas) and having to keep an eye on Pakistan. Maybe Chinese delicate political situation will turn against them, but Chinese living standards are approaching levels of poorer European countries so this may not be easy as it seems, if Chinese government is smart enough to at least make a bit of effort to keep their people on side. I'd say China could easily defeat SK, Japan, Taiwan, even throw in Philippines and Vietnam as well (not vs Vietnam in Vietnam though, they have a good history of defending themselves). So despite how some of the rhetoric from the USA and the west (including my own country Australia unfortunately) sounds, at the very most west and allies might be able to make China fight really hard with heavy losses despite fighting so close to their own country and this might be enough to cripple internal political support but its by no means a given for the west/allies. China's lack of recent military experience also works against them, but if China fully mobilised their economy for a war of defence (even if they were actually still offensive but were close to defensive eg. Taiwan) the production would be truly enormous, possibly exceeding USA in WW2 in equivalent time scale..bearing in mind USA then too had similar issues with lack of recent experience. Also USA's recent experience is mostly against non-peer enemies so this counts against them also. Think if the battle is near China, China wins but maybe with very heavy losses so then the political situation would be critical. eg. China invades Taiwan and loses a few hundred thousand personnel or more for a island with strategic significance but probably not economy/natural resources for the cost of so many lives, many in China who were allowed to think it might be questioning whether it was worth it which might hurt the political stability.

    China has a macro issues that can easily switch the balance of power if trade routes are blocked off. It has very little natural resources relative to it's huge population and army. Hitler didnt lose because of a lack of technology and military spending - hitler lost the war of attrition because Germany relied very heavily on imported raw materials. China will be in a similar situation in an actual war - with more mouths to feed, and a demographic timebomb / ageing population. I suspect this is why they are so insistent on the SeaChode (nine dash line) territorial claim.... and why they are so pissed Australia is going to be a hub for nuclear subs - in an actual war, all raw materials that feed china will effectively be cut off. They cannot win.

    Right, Maritime SE Asia has been heading anti-China despite their "non-aligned" policy because of all the hostile acts with Chinese fishing hordes emptying the local seas. Indonesia alone could make it really hurt for China by stopping ships going through their waters -- they're already readily suspicious of Chinese, Communists, and acts of anti-Islam -- and along with Vietnam and the Philippines would easily empty the PRC's treasury by forcing them to use more expensive overland routes for basic food and fuel. I wouldn't be surprised if undeployed PLA forces were even left largely unmolested, just so they can eat through the Mainland's dwindling supplies and fuel unrest among China's civilians to cause even more division in operational efforts.

    What makes the Central East Asian region the most important? Its geography? The only trade that passes through the region is trade either originating or terminating in the region, unlike Central America or the Eastern Mediterranean. As for China’s immediate geography, that tends to be a detriment. While the island chains may allow protection they inhibit force projection making the Seas around the the Central East Asian region a global backwater. Its natural resources and mineral wealth? If that were true China wouldn’t need to control the Straits of Malacca or spend billions on its Belt and Road to Africa. The Central East Asian Region is resource poor and so not nearly as important as the Arabian Peninsula or the Amazon region of South America. The only factor the the region may claim is population density, I suppose, but history has shown that just being a dense biological mass does not indicate importance.
