How long would it take for the US to recover from a EMP?

A noted Chinese theorist on modern warfare, Chang Mengxiong, compared China's form of fighting to "a Chinese boxer with a keen knowledge of vital body points who can bring an opponent to his knees with a minimum of movements". It is like key acupuncture points in ancient Chinese medicine. Puncture one vital point and the whole anatomy is affected.

That's very nice. Unfortunately the other guy has a gun, and a scope, and is camouflaged, with night vision.

I Electro-magnetic Pulse (EMP) attack
China and Russia are two potential US adversaries that have the capability for this kind of attack. An EMP attack can either come from an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM), a long-range cruise missile, or an orbiting satellite armed with a nuclear or non-nuclear EMP warhead. A nuclear burst of one (or more) megaton some 400 kilometers over central United States (Omaha, Nebraska) can blanket the whole continental US with electro-magnetic pulse in less than one second.

Heh, what do you think will happen if someone launched a nuclear tipped ICBM/SLBM at central US? EMP is the least of their worries.

Everything else in that article is not even worth responding to.

That was hilarious. Whoever wrote that is a complete moron. Imagine the PLAN imposing a naval blockade on the US. That is going to have me chuckling all day.

"It is like key acupuncture points in ancient Chinese medicine. Puncture one vital point and the whole anatomy is affected..."

Acupuncture points, my ass.

There won't be even cockaroaches left in China by the time they try to implement point number two.

Hostility doesn't help.
Well, I think the Chinese military force is pretty defence-oriented.

The guy is probably just joking.

But as to whether or not there would still be cockroaches left in China when the two countries are engaged in a war,
guys, you gotta try and see what happens.

It never matters what someone here thinks "if I can have it my way... blah blah blah", the point is you are never going to have it your way.

Anyway, the status quo is probably how it is going to be, so take it or leave it. This is for some of the d*ckheads on both sides.

China's new concept of a "people's war" includes IT warriors coming, not only from its military more than 2-million strong, but from the general citizenry of some 1.3 billion people. If we add the hackers and information warriors from Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Syria and other countries sympathetic to China, the cyber attack on the US would be formidable indeed.

Moron, how many Chinese now how to use computer or even hacking? And btw, this guy forgot American allies, especially India which is absolutely far ahead China in Computer Science. If hackers can easily infiltrate US IT system, it would have bedone especially by Russia. Well, China once used massive hackers to steal US Department of Defense files. Once! But who knows how many times US hacked the Chinese! So unrealistic to cripple US by hacking...

America is now 75% dependent on foreign imported oil. About 23.5% of America's imported oil supply comes from the Persian Gulf. To cut off this oil supply, Iran can simply mine the Strait of Hormuz, using bottom-rising sea mines. It is worthwhile to note that Iran has the world's fourth-largest inventory of sea mines, after China, Russia and the US.

two points, US has Alaska, the ultimate oil reserve which will probably used if war breaks out. Second, How can Iran seize the Persian Gulf with Indian subs, US fleets, and Israel nuclear capacity around the middle east. I thought there's already an article discussing the fact that US NAVY has guarded the Strait.

Quote:

This US economic strength, however, is a double-edged sword and can turn out to be America's economic Achilles' heel. A run of the US dollar, for instance, which would cause a dollar free-fall, can bring the entire US economy toppling down.

And if US breaks down, the world and China's economy will disappear just like during Great Depression.

Quote:

China has been busy in the past decade or so exercising soft power in almost all countries in Africa, Latin America, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Middle East, winning most of the countries in these regions to its side. Through the use of soft power, China has created a de facto global united front under its silent, low-key leadership.

Yeah right (sarcasticly)...

The writter is just a total moron who knows nothing about US superiority.

Just joking ,even all the world against the US ,it's hard to say the result.

US can destory the planet in hours,who will start a nuke war with US?
I am dreaming of someday China can "VS" US ,bu not now, 30 years later maybe ,or even long .

PandaRoo · 10-19-2006, 09:31 AM

Argon, why does such an idiotic article get you so excited?

ArGoN · 10-19-2006, 10:04 AM

lol
because it gives me chance to criticize!
Btw, although I'm half Indonesian half Chinese, I don't really support Chinese surpass Americans, because IMO it will create a great bloodshed to make the trantition. I doubt that within 30 years or so China will surpass US since US will definitely take action before that happens.
