The USN has 10 x nuclear powered aircraft carriers and another 2 (I think) under construction, each is much bigger and carry far more aircraft than their Chinese counterpart. Not to mention that the USN has close to 100 years of experience in carrier operations. Hmmm, I know who I'd pick to prevail if it became a shooting war.

NZ army has light infantry and fast armoured vehicles of its own, not to mention that it's manned by professional soldiers - not conscripts.

1R? professional ? cough,cough,choke! - 2/1 is our only hope, anyhow...... China WILL turn NZ into a Chinese satellite farm without firing a shot, they will use MMP against us, at some point the Chinese in NZ, will have their vote organised by the Chinese govt to get the necessary influence in parliament, to open the immigration laws a little more, then use increased numbers to gain a little more influence to open the immigration door a little more, by playing the long game, they will eventually BECOME the bloody government here, without firing a shot, all nice and legal - Currently the Chinese population outnumbers the maori and pacific islander numbers combined in Auckland, you think the Chinese govt DOESN'T think about that stuff as they buy their way into the pacific and Africa as we speak?
