Mao broke with Khrushchev, not the other way around.

Not according to Mao! By his account, or so goes the story anyway, it was a wedge driven apart by the phobia Khrushchev have for China – or the stigma of Yellow Peril so to speak.

The Soviets withdrawing technical support to the PRC can be attributed completely to Mao’s switch to Maoism rather than Marxism-Leninism, and blatantly telling so to the Russians.

Again, other sources, western one’s too mind you, described the situation as due solely to Soviet revisionism or their appeasement to western pressure — Khrushchev’s words verses Mao’s words…

If there is one thing China has shown since the breakup with the USSR around 1960, is that it was NOT capable or even seemed interested in a continuous and uninterrupted supply of military goods.

Strangely, the pipeline stopped on its track come the MiG-23s and 27s. The rumor was that they had to ship one, covertly, from Egpyt to be used as a speciment and as reference for the development of a number of indiginous projects all of which never got off of the drawing board of course. They tried, but all they had then was a hammer and some rusted up nails to work with.

Also, indigenous developments in the PRC, despite all the efforts of the last 15 to 20 years, have still failed to field any modern combat aircraft.

Well… If we are talking about the latest and the sharpest of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, I agree they didn’t make much headway. But, Taiwan’s efforts at the IDF/F-CK and their later aquisitions of the French Mirages and F-16s tells a story — it says the J-7s can and does post a formiddable challenge. The next generation of Chinese, my bet, can and will be counted as leaders in the field. Present Chinese progress in these areas are indications of the things yet to come for the Chinese.

The Backfire-system is a high threat system against USN CVNs. The USA will do all possible to prevent the delivery of such bombers to China and India.

From a strategic point of view, your analysis (high threat system…) is indeed
sound and logical judgement. Example: As gestures in the 2002 thriller “The Sum of All Fears” , the Tu-22
Backfires indeed is not something anyone would consider screwing around with.

I am brave enough to take this challenge! 😎

The Magic 9 Ball tells me… that you are looking at a couple of Ming Class SSKs under construction, being passed off as Song SSK! Beware the cheap tricks! :p

Ming Class SSKs:

Could well be. However, the word I’ve been hearing is
that they’ve stopped putting “Mings” together eons ago. My speculation
is that, this http://bbs.china.com/images/2004-09-04/1094288355001.jpg instead is
what could be if it’s Chinese. Notice the distinctions? The screw? The implications here
says that it’s either a sneak preview of the 039 or of the newer a 04X.

Mings, on the other hand, sports an almost
wedgy U-Boat-like characteristic while the one’s in question here seems
to say that it’s cylindrical or of a cigar shape.

However, could these be something others than Chinese???

😮

Who knows for certain what’s going on…

Funny- I am doing the same with you. Of course, trolls like you are not known for debating skills.

Hehe… I guess people is finally getting use
to the idea and understanding of what a Troll is, and that they
do turn AFM upsidedown every now and then…

Olympics are a time of truce as per ancient customs.

CCP would be very worried if Bushboys took up permanent residence in beijing outside
of that two week period.

Indeed they will. And, with Agnis zippin’ across
the Beijing skyline? Who wouldn’t 😮 ??? Therefore, I don’t think the Chinese
will even consider letting Mr. Bush go after 2008.

You must understand, with his Chinese upbringing, that
attachment or craving for Kung Po Chickens 😀 will never weaken or subside
because Chinese culinaries can be extremely addictive.

You cannot outlaw the Communist party in India, actually there are 2 main partys that are communists, if they win elections, they get seats, there is nothing anyone can really do about that, they are very strong in the east, incidetally these states lag behind others in terms of economic development. 🙁

>>>cannot outlaw the Communist party<<<

Maybe, what’s needed is giants or charactors such as
J. Edgar Hoover and Senator Joseph McCarthy to put away all those Commies
who are possibly trying to take over Democratic India.

After all, if India’s Commies are as difficult to get rid of from India as
conniving Bill Clinton is from the WH, even with all the tempting and mouth watering
submissions and with mighty Ken Star manning the chopping board, then, India is without
question in the crappers and no amount of Agis will make a difference.

BTW, they wouldn’t be Nepalese Maoists would they???
