China has no allies. They would lose to the world if the US sat it out. Who do they think they are? Mars? Hat tip to the GOAT Norm McDonald.
I keep thinking about the same thing. China is so belligerent to virtually everyone in their neighborhood, and getting more so by the day, that if they ever started a war they would be surrounded by enemies, and that’s before the U.S. showed up. Maybe they believe Russia would come to their aid, but I have a tough time believing Putin would get involved. Aside from its nuclear forces, Russia doesn’t have much of a military anymore, and I don’t think they really want to help the CCP, who may turn on them as well if given the opportunity.
Not true.The Russians would side with them in a pinch. So would North Korea. In an “all out” war China would be tough to beat.
Remember the old Cold War quip: What's the only country in the world surrounded by hostile communist neighbors? The Soviet Union.
Clocking in at cool 1.3B just how many allies do they need?
