Chinese Rear Admiral: Sink Two US Carriers, Solve the South China Sea Dispute

The Chinese are planning a new global order that does not include the United States. If their implicit movements were not enough, the most recent statement by Chinese Navy Rear Admiral Lou Yuan speaks volumes. From the Navy Times:

“What the United States fears the most is taking casualties,” the admiral said, before adding that such an attack on two of the U.S. Navy’s steel behemoths would claim upwards of 10,000 lives.

Lou went on to call America’s military, money, talent, voting system and fear of adversaries the five U.S. weaknesses that can be easily exploited, according to the report.

“We’ll see how frightened America is,” he said.

China’s position now is not unlike Japan of the 1930s, with two major differences. China does not fear its northern neighbor, Russia, as Imperial Japan did, and Japan had little experience in countering the new threat of the aircraft carrier. Well, that and nuclear arms. But America’s long dominant tool of force projection runs the risk of becoming obsolete, partially based on previous Japanese strategy from WWII. As Matt Bracken noted in a previous article regarding the deployment of Russian bombers to Venezuela,

Many strategists consider the American carrier battle group to be obsolete because of Russian and Chinese standoff missiles like the ones carried by the Blackjack. Our CVNs have less than a thousand mile protective radius (CAP), but salvos of ship-killing missiles can be launched from far beyond that range. Our CVNs are now too vulnerable to place them within effective attack range of China, for example…

…The next war against a peer or near-peer adversary may reveal a paradigm shift on the level of what happened in WW2 with Japanese land-based bombers sinking the British Prince of Wales and Repulse.

From the tactical end it would appear that for all their expense in fielding, the CVN battle group is not only at risk but nearly irrelevant. The primary purpose of the deterrence patrols in the South China Sea is protection of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. The later is a prime target of Red China, seeking ‘reunification’ with the island nation established by Chinese nationalists who fled Mao’s revolution. The US has taken a protectionist stance towards Taiwan and although the conflict has not made headlines in recent years, it is a major focal point of conflict for the Chinese. The National Interest seems to have a contrary opinion, noting,

Rest easy. Washington and Beijing aren’t going to war in the sea anytime soon. Both capitals have an incentive to prevent it from happening, and no ridiculous comment from an armchair general with a record of braggadocio is going to upend the status-quo.

I disagree. Red China is simply waiting until they’ve completely outmaneuvered us strategically. After all, their funding is directly linked to the migrant crisis, owns large scale propaganda platforms marketed to them, provides funding to major academic thinktanks which in turn suggest governmental policy, and has stolen vast amounts of technology from us. This, coupled with their greater moves in the Panama Canal region and influence in the Caribbean and Africa, I’d argue their dependence on trade with the US is nearing an end. And when they no longer need us, they’ll seek to eliminate us.

There is no political solution, and there should be no question that you need training. What’s your goals for 2019?

    Watch this video closely, where the two foreign “China hands” on motorbikes discuss the exodus of foreigners from China. They say that China is signalling that it no longer needs outside help at modernizing. This seems to align with the conclusion of the above article.

      Additionally, the Chinese are buying the West coast of the US having bought much of Canada. They have surfaced diesel submarines very near our carriers several times. Their new generation of Sunburst and Silkwork missiles have a very long range when fired from aircraft.

      “What the United States fears the most is taking casualties,” the admiral said,

      Martin Van Creveld wrote in “Pussycats” (I think) that Western militaries are intolerant of casualties because Westerners have few children.

    Don’t forget BRICS too, they are maneuvering to setup an economic system based on gold and silver (something we should have never gotten off of) and almost finished implementing, US Dollar or VISA system not required. As for the Navy and our military, to be honest, my wife was in the Navy and got out in 2014, if the lack if training, drills, and professionalism is any indicator than the Navy is screwed. Not to mention most of the military is still stuck in 2/3rd Generation warfare stances. I am by no means an expert, but much of my family has been in the military and its a joke now. The Army and USMC may be better off, but the Navy and Air Force are a joke and have been controlled by the left for a couple decades now. I personally think all these groups need to fight their own wars, even if they are allies, the US has no place over there. We would be in a far better place if we had the gold standard and a far more reduced and agile military, instead of debt spending on outdated crap.
