okay, would we tell the Chinese we knew or didn't know about their sub regardless of whether or not we knew about it?

What missiles would those be?"The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously.Comment

He may be referring to China's nuclear missiles (?). Current estimates for China's long range ICBM force range from 8 to about 20, which is quite small. Then again, China has officially adopted a "no first strike" policy wrt nuclear arms, so assuming they stick with this, such a situation is extremely unlikely.
Unless of course the US has already launched some of its own, in which case any strategic game theory here will likely break down very quickly."lol internet" ~ AAHZComment

eh, if China first strikes the US, not to mention a scenario where our carriers are still in port, those carriers will be the least of China's worries."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights.

Based on reading the article alone, it's my thought that China doesn't do itself any tactical or strategic favors when it blows satellites out of orbit and sends one of its submarines into the middle of a U.S. battle group.
Yes, they're sending a message, but they're also blowing their cover. China wishes to be seen as a great power. Fine and dandy by me, because doing shtick like this will make other nations take them seriously sooner than they otherwise might have.
So, China, be careful what you wish for. You might just get it.

Heh, well, thats one way of putting it. I see it as China participating it stupid PR stunts that won't fool anyone in the know, just sap armchair generals.
Sooooo, net for China?
1.) Anyone who has any relevant opinion still knows China's hardware is crap.
2.) Everyone who doesn't have a relevant opinon will now demand we spend money on new hardware/training anyway because they don't know China's hardware is crap.
Us, win win. China, lose lose.Last edited by Patroklos; November 14, 2007, 11:21."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously.Comment

The lead I don't like. But the other can be kind of fun.
I had a roommate who tried to lock himself into a bathroom and take a certain drug and see if he woke up pregnant.
He didn't."lol internet" ~ AAHZComment
