Good read............
China wasn't able to colonize at the time that was written either. We'd have a hard time keeping them off of us should we suffer an EMP or nuclear attack.
If China was not one of the parties involved as was believed in the scenario with the Soviet Union in today's time they would try to move in on US soil. I think it was even mentioned in one of the big EMP fiction books how they showed up to "help" but wouldn't leave.Can you expound? Not sure I understand what you are saying.

Yeah. It seems far fetched unless we are pretty much completely crippled. I would assume our navy would be mostly unaffected. At least those at sea. I believe that is why the book in question had them arrive on a humanitarian mission. I know it is fiction, but I hadn't thought about that before reading it. If we crossed nukes with anyone these days I assume China would be a part of that equation.OK, gotcha.
I don't think China has the manpower or log train to be expeditionary (a la Japan, WW2). BUT...throw in nukes and I think all bets are off for any scenario no matter how far-fetched it seems.
Haven't WE been participating in "peacekeeping" and doing humanitarian stuff when countries suddenly experience changes in leadership?Yeah.

China has no way to transport troops or equipment via naval routes so it would take time to get them here. I am told they are developing and making landing type ships and such to transport them on however. Some claim that is the only thing holding Xi back from taking Taiwan
