Chinese missiles hit runways, fuel lines, barracks and supply depots at U.S.
Air Force bases in Japan and South Korea. Long-range warheads destroy American
satellites, crippling Air Force surveillance and communication networks. A
nuclear fireball erupts high above the Pacific Ocean, ionizing the atmosphere
and scrambling radars and radio feeds.
This is China’s anti-U.S. sucker punch strategy.
It’s designed to strike America’s military suddenly, stunning and stalling
the Air Force more than any other service. In a script written by Chinese
military officers and defense analysts, a bruised U.S. military, beholden to a
sheepish American public, puts up a small fight before slinking off to avoid
full-on war.
This strategic outlook isn’t hidden in secret Chinese documents. It’s printed
in China’s military journals and textbooks.
