  • We need to figure out ways to reorient China’s ambitions from an impossible ask - Taiwan, the 9-dash-line, and the South China Sea, and point out the obvious low hanging fruit, that wouldn’t require force projection / airborne and naval landings, and a world class navy to oppose literally every other country in the pacific, and invest those resources where they could gain massive ground, repatriate ethnic chinese and repatriate Chinese cities that they were forced to give up and still want back, like Vladivostok. Russia is sick. China is already pushing for greater influence in the -stan countries - the move only requires a will for China to head north, capturing enormous amounts of land, resources and new citizens / customers for it’s industries. And unlike the Pacific, I don’t know that many will want to save them after the last few years… I don’t see Belarus scrambling resources to send to defend Irkutsk.
