Chinese people abroad: their government doesn't care?
A "lurker" who watches China far more than I wondered aloud that the Chinese state does not care for its nationals who live abroad.
The vast majority have personally emigrated, for a better life usually and as at least two SWC threads have touched upon how the PRC would respond:
a) How will China react to lost investments:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ad.php?t=14271
b) China's expanding role in Africa:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ead.php?t=2164
There also my "hobby horse" thread, the kith & kin factor:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ead.php?t=8829
Then recently the PRC deployed an infantry battallion to South Sudan, wearing UN "blue berets", to protect its oil workers and investments:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ad.php?t=21137
Is this deployment only to protect a state investment and staff?
Anyone else any thoughts or contributions?
China Takes Nuclear Weapons Underwater Where Prying Eyes Can’t See
Quote:
China is preparing to arm its stealthiest submarines with nuclear missiles that could reach the U.S., cloaking its arsenal with the invisibility needed to retaliate in the event of an enemy strike.
Fifty years after China carried out its first nuclear test, patrols by the almost impossible-to-detect JIN class submarines armed with nuclear JL–2 ballistic missiles will give President Xi Jinping greater agility to respond to an attack.
