This is a translation of an article in China from a very pro-gov't source (http://midnightexpress2046.wordpress.com/2013/09/16/the-six-wars-to-be-fought-by-china-in-the-coming-50-years/), laying out the six wars 'needed' for 'Chinese unification'
You can probably guess where it starts, eh?
QuoteThe 1st War: Unification of Taiwan (Year 2020 to 2025)
The 2nd War: "Reconquest" of Spratly Islands (Year 2025 to 2030)
The 3rd War: "Reconquest" of Southern Tibet (Year 2035 to 2040)
The 4th War: "Reconquest" of Diaoyu Island and Ryukyu Islands (Year 2040 to 2045)
The 5th War: Unification of Outer Mongolia (Year 2045 to 2050)
The 6th War: Taking back of lands lost to Russia (Year 2055 to 2060)
there's info for each of these too
Busy little mothers, are they not.
They have a surplus of young men. War is an obvious solution.
Why the hell would they start with the tough nut first?

A warm-up match against Canada does sound more logical ;D

why not? it would be the hardest target to take and hold. if they did manage it you can push any ideas of messing with Japan back another 20 years though (assuming the US isnt involved in the Tiawan deal).

I think that Taiwan is the tripwire to getting into fisticuffs with the US
thats one lethal tripwire for the Chinese navy and air force.

Windy's leaving words out of posts, Brant's forgetting to copy-paste the punchlines to jokes...when did this forum take a Choose Your Own Adventure format?
it's a feature, not a bug
increases member interactivity, and by leaving things open to personal interpretation, gievs you the opportunity to create/avoid flame wars, at your leisure

Brant's right. It is an early Beta of our next rollout.
Here's some of the code:
Quote____(insert number)____ Groginatti ____(insert verb)____ to the ____(insert noun)____. They ____(insert verb)____ until they ____(insert verb)____ any more.
Then the Groginatti ____(insert verb)____ ____(insert verb)____ ____(insert verb)____ ____(insert verb)____ up the ____(insert noun)____.
It was ____(insert adjective)____.

That's another feature, Star.
We're inserting random msipllengs to make gays like your feele more comfirtible here.
we're also going to start posting reviews of last year's releases - again, to make Star feel like he fits in more :)
A fill in the blanks review format might mean Star could actually complete one for Panthers in the Fog...

I always wondered if there was an advanced dynamic AI in this game.
I was beginning to think the whole thing was scripted.

sorry... for the chinese to cross the strait over to Taiwan they would likely try something ... weird/unconventional... ergo commercial shipping and/or commercial airtraffic
Or the PRC could just spend the next ten or fifteen years inserting thousands of sleeper agents disguised as ordinary 'guest workers' into Taiwan who will all one day pick up a ringing telephone and hear a few lines from a Robert Frost poem...
