I disagree. The freedom of navigation exercises held around China are always denounced by the current leadership.
Any "freedom of navigation" during an active conflict with an ally would understandably be considered a potential declaration of war. They may consider the risk too high not to respond, similar to the Korean war.
The main difference is they now have a modern military and dont have to rely on rural untrained farmers to win their battles.
- acdha 5y agoWhat scenario do you think is likely where NATO forces would be anywhere near China’s borders?
- ashwagary 5y agoRussia is a massive country with military installations across the whole subcontinent. I expect the defensive and offensive systems on the eastern side would be potential targets in any serious engagement.
- acdha 5y agoYes, but again how likely is a land war to come into the picture? If they're going after, say, airbases they're not doing that with a march from the border.

There are some 35 million Russians living in a region covering 140% of that of China which houses 1.4 billion people. Rich in minerals, forests, water and many other resources it is only a matter of time before a conflict around this region arises.
