Why the Chinese Defence Plan is Unbeatable

Invading China would be a strategic nightmare

China's hypersonic missiles could sink all 10 American aircraft carriers in 20 minutes. By mid-2024, China boasts over 600 nuclear warheads, projected to exceed 1,000 by 2030, alongside expanding hypersonic and space warfare capabilities.

Historically, China has been invaded repeatedly, but invaders always fail long-term.

The Mongols conquered in 1211-1279.
The Japanese invasion (1937-1945) during the Second Sino-Japanese War saw Japan occupy vast territories.

However, China's "long game" digests invaders through cultural absorption rather than outright resistance.

Geographically, China is a fortress. Its 9.6 million square kilometers rival the U.S. or Canada, with the Tibetan Plateau and Himalayas blocking southern approaches at 14,800 feet average elevation. The Gobi Desert and Inner Mongolia create a 1,600-kilometer northern barrier of extreme temperatures and sparse water.

Population density concentrates 1.4 billion people in 22% of the land along coasts, leaving vast interiors for retreat and surveillance via skywave radars detecting threats up to 2,000 kilometers away.

Culturally, China's unbreakable spirit stems from nested administrative layers (from central to village levels) and guanxi networks, which decentralized resistance during occupations. Concepts like "face" (mianzi) and "all under heaven" (tianxia) foster collective duty, turning crises into unified action.

The DF-41 ICBM, road-mobile with 10 warheads and 14,880-kilometer range, ensures nuclear deterrence.

Industrially, China's "wartime footing" outpaces the U.S. shipbuilding capacity by 230 times, aerospace facilities spanning 50 million square feet, and a 3-million-worker defense industry produce weapons six times faster.
