China's maritime borders are not so far-flung as to require aircraft carriers. There are more cost-effective ways of guarunteeing China's territorial integrity in its marine areas. In any case, Tibet and Xinjiang are irrelevant to the discussion. The other countries you use as examples are irrelevant. China is not in a situation that can in any way be compared to those other countries. Power is not purely military. China is very effectively using soft power (culture, economics, politics) to secure its place in the world and its security. Rest assured, China's security is important to me. I live here too, don't forget. Interesting discussion, but sorry, I've got to go now.

Sorry for your lack of time! I hope we can go on, because I like to discuss this topic, when you have more free time.

"Aircraft carriers are irrelevant to China's territorial defence. China's maritime borders are not so far-flung as to require aircraft carriers."

a/ Russian maritime borders are closer to Russia than Chinese to China, but Russia got some aircrafts.

b/ I told you that Chinese maritime borders are big. From Hainan to the Southern islands is the same as from Beijing to West Xinjiang or from Beijing to Xiamen.

c/ Aircraft carrier is useful for good response in case of aggression.

"There are more cost-effective ways of guarunteeing China's territorial integrity in its marine areas. In any case, Tibet and Xinjiang are irrelevant to the discussion."

Tibet and Xinjiang are in the connection with your question about the dangerous for China.

"The other countries you use as examples are irrelevant."

Why?

"China is not in a situation that can in any way be compared to those other countries."

Why?

"Power is not purely military."

Sure, but the military power is the basic here. For example - North Korea. Problems in the economy, but no problems in the military power. Result? Even USA respect them and do not dare to make the same as in Iraq.

"China is very effectively using soft power (culture, economics, politics) to secure its place in the world and its security."

IDEALISM?

"Rest assured, China's security is important to me. I live here too, don't forget."

I hope so.

"Interesting discussion, but sorry, I've got to go now."

Sure, intersting and useful. See you next time!
