non-serious question- China has a sub?
I would think they do... probably not up to the technology of our subs but I would think they at least have some submarines. Heck drug runners from Mexico and Columbia have used their own submarines before, I'm sure China has some.
Yes China has subs. Most of their fleet (~50) is diesel powered, but they have a few nuclear attack subs and a few nuclear powered missile subs. Popular mechanics had a decent writeup this month on how chinese military tech has become more and more focused on attacking our carriers. From what has been in the news about their new anti-carrier weaponry, it looks like pretty scary stuff. Basically, in the event that they were to attack Taiwan, their goal is to take away our ability to use naval power. Taiwan is kinda SOL without our navy as the only forces we have near to defend the island that I know of are in Korea, Afghanistan and whatever we have in Japan. Afghanistan is kinda out of the picture, as planes from there would have to fly across china to get to Taiwan. The forces in korea are there for a reason, that being to deter the crazy person from the north from attacking. If China attacks, I have a feeling el presidente glorious leader would probably try something in the chaos.
In summary, it would be a pretty scary scenario if the chinese decided to invade Taiwan. Especially if they can prevent our carriers from being in the area to provide protection.
I'm really hoping it wasn't a chinese missile.
