You need soe BASIC knowledge about the:
a/World's history
b/ Geopolitics

Then you will know WHY THE MODERN USSR WAS (yes - WAS!!!) RADICALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE RUSSIA IN 1905, BUT...What happend with USSR? 
BTW, WHAT HAPPEND WITH YUGOSLAVIA?

"Wow, all of tens of kilometres. Alright, I'm understating that. China's most far flung territories are very, very close to China's coast."

DO YOU THINK THAT MALAYSIA IS "very, very close" to China's cost? Because ACCORDING TO THE CHINESE MAPS THE CHINESE BORDER IS GOING TO MALAYSIA AND BRUNEI. IT IS THE SAME AS F-R-O-M BEIJING T-O XIAMEN or F-R-O-M BEIJING T-O WEST XINJIANG. "VERY" CLOSE, HUH?

"Compare with New Zealand or any other Pacific country if you need some perspective. The Spratly's are not a reason for China to build an aircraft carrier."

MAY BE FOR YOU THEY ARE NOT IMPORTANT. MAY BE FOR YOU CHINESE SECURITY IS NOT IMPORTANT, BUT FOR ME THEY ARE, AND AS I CAN SEE FOR OUR GOVERNMENT THEY ARE, SO I AM HAPPY THAT THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT DO NOT SHARE YOUR POINT OF VIEW. OTHERWISE WE HAVE TO SAY "BYE-BYE" NOT ONLY TO SPARTLEY, BUT ALSO - TIBET, XINJIANG and may be - MANCHURIA, TAIWAN, HONGKONG, MACAO?

"The Spratly's are a reason for China to build airbases in Hainan..."

NOT ENOUGH. DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPEND WHEN CLINTON SENT 2 AIRCRAFT CARRIERS CLOSE TO TAIWAN? OR YOU WAS VERY YOUNG AND HAVE NO MEMORIES?

"so they're covered already."

NOT AGAINST MODERN ARMIES. FEW DECADES AGO VIETNAM WAS COVERED BY CHINESE FORCES, BUT WHAT HAPPEND IN THE CONFLICT BECAUSE OF THE KAMPUCHEA? WE WERE NOT VERY GOOD AT THIS BATTLE, RIGHT?

"Same principle applies to China's "far-flung" territories in the East China Sea- they're so close to the mainland aircraft carriers are a completely unnecessary waste of money."

IF YOU DO NOT LIKE TO WASTE SOME MONEY FOR IT LATER YOU WILL WASTE ALL YOUR MONEY FEEDING THE FOREIGN ARMIES ON YOUR TERRITORY. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY US BASES ARE ALREADY SITUATED IN THE FORMER SOCIALIST COUNTRIES AS :

-FORMER SOVIET REPUBLICS
-ROUMANIA
-BULGARIA
..................?

The Chinese government is one of the most wise in the World. So, I am happy that they realised the need of Chinese aircraft carriers! Cool! ~[/quote]
