Quote: China Conducts River-Crossing Drill at N.Korean Border Chinese troops conducted river-crossing drills on Tuesday afternoon near Dandong on the Apnok River which separates China and North Korea. Locals said Chinese troops had conducted several such drills before and that exercises using pontoon bridges usually take place in the summer. The Chinese military exercise appears aimed at preparing for a swift entry into North Korea in the event of an emergency there. An emergency... like a war between US-SK and NK? A collapse in NK? A civil war? Seems to me China won't let NK fall under ``western`` control any time soon. ---------- "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats." -- H.L.

Surely, their army maintains offensive plans for such an operation as well, not that I think they will ever make such an attempt. ---------- "Yep - and that ***er didn't want to light either.

Vitchilo Posts: 4626 Incept: 2011-04-27	Yeah China and Russia will go at it in the future, it's certain. The only question is when. ---------- "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats." -- H.L.

Vitchilo Posts: 4626 Incept: 2011-04-27	Well two big guys on the same block are bound to go at each other throat... always happens, history shows it. Not to mention, China is already invading Siberia passively, flooding the region with Chinese workers and immigrants... they are not doing this for peaceful purposes. Russia is pretty weak and getting weaker by the day. China is getting stronger. It might take 10-20 years, but sooner or later, they will go at it. ---------- "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats." -- H.L.

Probably with tactical battlefield nukes and no strategic nukes until one side is about to loose. ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity.

Kamath Posts: 1539 Incept: 2009-04-04 Sweden	Sorry, but I consider all of the musings about "invasion of Chinese workers and illegal immigrants" to be a giant myth. Here's a good link which explains/supports/lays out much of my views on that aspect: http://demographymatters.blogspot.se/201....
