Well the Street Shitters actually have semi-decent equipment thanks to the Russians and US.

Hell they can field F-16s and T-90s the Chinks got nothing that could stand up against those. The only issue is really getting into combat as there is a giant mountain range between the two sides so I don't really see much more then posturing on either side.

But is somehow shit does go down my money would be on the Curry side.

From my understanding the high altitude is wrecking the Chinese troops. Altitude sickness can be deadly and the only treatment is oxygen and returning to lower ground. On the other hand India has people who have lived for generations on high ground.

So does China, its just that the Chinese equivalent of tribal mountain dwellers are all busy receiving a state education atm.

Japan to sign agreement allowing arms exports to Vietnam

Japan plans to sign an agreement with Vietnam to allow it to export defense equipment and technology to the country, part of a move to strengthen defense capabilities of Indo-Pacific nations to counter Chinese maritime advances, the Nikkei newspaper reported on Wednesday.

Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga on Tuesday told his ruling Liberal Democratic Party that he will visit Vietnam and Indonesia next week, the newspaper said, adding he was expected to sign the Vietnam deal during the trip.

Japan ended a decades-old ban on overseas arms sales in 2014 to help beef up the nation's military and lower the unit cost of home-built military equipment but has so far struggled to strike export deals for finished products.

Japan's only export deal for a finished product has been one signed with the Philippines in August for the export of a warning and control radar system developed by Mitsubishi Electric, the Nikkei said.

Tokyo is also negotiating with Indonesia and Thailand to sign an agreement regarding defense equipment transfers as it seeks to draw on Southeast Asian demand, it added.

Suga's visit to the two countries would be his first overseas trip since taking office last month following Shinzo Abe's resignation due to ill health.

Well, they have Tai Chi being praised by the party as a way to become invincible, which has been proven hilariously wrong by a single trained MMA fighter. Needless to say, the Party has done their best to crush him. No idea if they teach that to their soldiers, but I doubt they discourage them from learning it.

Marines Hop Islands, Set Up Long-Range Fires as Force Preps for Clash with China​

EXPEDITIONARY ADVANCED BASING CAPABILITIES ON DISPLAY DURING EXERCISE NOBLE FURY​


Quick Summary: Over 100 US Marines practice strategy and tactics for "Island Hoping" campaign against China in the first ever "Noble Fury" exercise. It consisted of Marine scouting parties, followed by MV-22 Osprey transports and AH-1Z Viper Attack Helicopters. These forces held their Expeditionary Advanced Base against a "counterattack." That night A MC-130J flew in a HIMARS to provide "Fire Support." The next day, Super Stallion helicopters arrived. Soon after, the exercise ended with the Marines and their equipment being pick up for "further operations."

Hate to interrupt the memeing, but the kinks got worked out years ago. So now its just big and noisy. Also, the Marines are like a murder-Gandalf. They never kill too many, nor do they kill too little. They always kill exactly who they intend. Much like the Sixth Legion and their reputation, it isn't their fault the USA sends them on jobs where "Kill everything that moves" is the mission objective. It is however their fault for enjoying those sorts of operations a little too much, just like the Sixth Legion. It takes a vast amount of self-control to be that dangerous.

China threatens to send warplanes over Taiwan if USAF flies over country​

China claims it will send fighter jets to 'defend sovereignty' if US Air Force flies planes over Taiwan​

So, we were wondering why flying a RC-135W Recon aircraft over Taiwan was such a big deal (if it happened). Well apparently threats like this are why.


Oh, and this reporting on a Global Times article (Chinese party mouthpiece)

China says 'fighter jets of the PLA must fly over the island of Taiwan'​

Beijing warns that if Taiwanese fighter jets fire at Chinese warplanes flying over Taiwan, 'it means war'​

And uh, don't forget about those Tibetans (Yeah they're not going to side with the PRC, in any situation regarding border disputes, which country do you think most of them fled to?).

Let me quote Taiwan's response: "Do it, faggots!" The way China's currently behaving every single neighbor of theirs (except NK, obviously) is going to take Taiwan's side. I never thought WW3 would happen because a bunch of Commies were ass-mad a single island refused to submit to them.
