Oil. Ever hear of off-shore drilling?
colonialism.
but it’s ok if commies do it.
Hainan Island:
That’s where the US EP-3 was forced down after a mid-air with a Chinese fighter about 10 years ago. The USN was interested in the island cuz it’s been hollowed-out a bit for a huge and well-protected offshore submarine base.
Some say the Chinese have plans for 20 submarines to be based there inside that island.
The Chinese want oil, they want their sea-lanes protected, and they want the USN out of the West Pacific.
I commented before reading the full article— DAYUM that was a great article..!
Excellent post —super important material...!
Why can’t mainstream publications get a clue and talk more about this super important stuff....?
[ colonialism.

Mark my words in the next 50 years the Chinese colonialism of Africa is going to make the European colonialism of Africa 200 years ago look like a humanitarian relief mission.
All China has to do is implement a policy of Chinese working in colonies be exempt from the one child policy and in less than 2-3 generations Africa will be fully colonized.
Good luck with Hainan Island chuckleheads.
You are correct, but it aint gonna happen.
Bump for a very interesting article.
China "O"? ♪Whoaa "O" ♪ China "O"
Pei-Ping.
In addition, China plans to introduce up to five Type 094, or Jin-class, SSBNs outfitted with the JL-2 missiles,
Plans? they have already launched 3 or more of the new 094s and are building more.
This article is somewhat behind the curve, IMHO.
That sure is a a pretty Target
I don’t think we can stop them.
“Why cant mainstream publications get a clue and talk more about this super important stuff....?”
Well, then just who is going to track down the whereabouts of Casey Anthony??????
The following is my original post -
We dont have the cajones.
Yep, oil and natural gas.
And old fashion in your face, “We can do whatever we want.”
Are these photos of the Type 094 submarine? Because I am under the impression that the actual number of 094 in service has never been revealed, nor is there any authentic pictures of it posted online. Am I being mistaken here?
You underestimate US
