  • Military / Political craziness happening in China right now?

    From another site I'm on...


    Today 10:24 PM CDT

    Got word through sources at work, employees have been evacuated, and have confirmation military units are battling interior ministry forces at several Beijing government buildings.

    I'm a division head in a company heavily vested in East Asia. I'm getting these reports from people inside the chaos, so who knows what will be revealed when light hits the issue.

    I'll update as I hear things. I'm not in town or I would be more intune to the situation, but I'll do my best to keep you in the loop!

    While I don't expect you to take my word, I'll point out I told everyone Kim Jung Il died long before it hit any news source
    Wait.

    Guns pointed in towards the buildings?

    Or pointed outwards, defending the buildings?
    Both. Seems the military swooped in, captured several Party officials, PM and other loyalists notified interior ministry soldiers and SHTF. It's not a street battle yet, but it's getting there.
    Apparently an internal dispute over the ousting of several party officials favored by the military.
    Not a coup yet. It's a stand-off. They're demanding the release of officials, and other officials are demanding to retain their positions. Gunfire/explosions/building to building shooting.
    re: local or national level?

    Well that's difficult to quantify right now. The way China safe guards its news, we'll never know for sure unless a new government takes over and announces it. As it is right now, it's a tit-for-tat ouster of party chairman, and some gun battles between military forces loyal to the removed chairmen, and internal ministry troops loyal to the sitting chairmen. I'm getting this from very reliable sources right in the middle of it, like... in the buildings being shot up. I'll keep everyone up-to-date as I get info.

        LOL, yes. I'd post a link but the thread will most likely be derailed and 20 pages deep within the hour.

                  How does this effect me? It's not as if some regime change in China would have any effect on our obligations. It's not as if we'd be instantly weaned off the teat.
                  How do we forget ourselves? How do we forget our minds?

                    Regime change could be towards a group more apt to flex their military muscle or use it for that matter. Just spitballing on that one though.

                      That would be fine, they don't stand a chance.

                          Don't stand a chance at what?

                          Depends what they want to do in my opinion.

                          China has the World's largest standing army and a very healthy manufacturing economy to back it up.

                          Their Navy\Air Force isn't as capable right now but as far as having the ability to throw waves of ordnance and people at something, I wouldn't want to fuck around with them.

                            Standing army... What is this the civil war? Our air force would level them.

                              An air force cannot occupy ground, no matter how capable it is....

                              Also, who says that the current administration would do anything to stop them?

                              Notice that I said that it depends on what they want to do...

                              You do realize that the largest single holder of US government debt is China, with 26 percent of all foreign-held US Treasury securities....
