I'm not a chinese, yet I'm fascinated by the chinese culture, i know that chinese is a quite peaceful country since the establishement of its lastest gouvernement. At least, it has never attacked other countries to take over them or to make them as colonnies or to go on wars for oil, etc. If you have seen the lastest trailers of battlefield 2 or battlefield modern combat, u will notice that they have put up China as an ennemy of USA and British(the accent of the soldier who speak in the trailer of bf modern combat). I know that China has fought with USA twice in the last century, in Vietnam and Korea, but that was wars for protecting their boundary by protecting the one of other neighbour countries, I don't know whether communism is just an excuse for expanding their power, but no matter what, that is the past. At least, now, China is not a threat in terme of military, ok I know there's things going on between China and Taiwan, and with Japan, also its exportation seems to menace the locaux manufacturing business in US and Europe, yet China tries to sort everything out peacefully. I'm kinda disagree with EA in what they do in the new bf serie putting China as an ennemy to US. It's like the movie James Bond, he has to fight the whole world and keep looking for new nations as ennemies in the serie, all that to get the new plots for the serie. I know many of you don't give the shit to this...well reply if u're interested in this topic.
 
I think it's ok in bf1942, they put japanese and in bf vietnam, they put vitnamese and chinese, that is ok, becuz that is the history, that has already happened, but in the modern combat, except the gulf war or the one in iraq now, those with chinese is fictitious. It's no good to put up fictions that set any real country in any position that it hasn't taken yet.

After the all, **** EA for screwing the culture of gamers. I'm questionning whether the way EA conducts it business is ethical.
 
i guess it makes for a interesting setting, and that's what i care about.
 
for those who know to judge will treat it as a nice gaming experience, but for those who know shit will start screaming ****ing chinese, ****ing iraquien, or whatever racism termes that can come up.
 
I know what u mean. But i think they added something unique so we could get a taste.
 
I totaly agree with you Yourney, but it is good to have chinese army, it is all about fun anyways, not starting real wars lol. this isnt realistic settings , you will have mods for this part.

It's the current trend, look at magazines and tv, everything is about China now. Remember the eighties? every movie villain was an arab or an iranian. Now it's going to be the chinese (example: next season of 24).

OK where to begin
wars by China since 1945
fought Vietnam
invaded Tibet
fought the USSR
continually threatens Taiwan with obliteration
Suppresses Mongolia
Defeated India 1962
Korea 1950-43

To summerise - naive bullshit
 
China is huge. huge countries need superior military. otherwise, their boders would be constantly threatened and they would be powerless because of their size.

btw, Korea was 1950.6.25 ~ 1953. not 43. and they didn't interfere until ROK troops came close to china. which was about 1951 I think

How naive bullshit is that !?? they have probably taken over tibet, but that happen before or around the establishement of the gouvernement, there was war going on inside of china at that time, the communism was weak at the beginning and had to escape to the north. Also China used to be bigger, becuz it lost a huge part of mongolia after they fought with USSR. Taiwan was given to Japan by the the royal family after it was defeated by Japan. After the world war 2, Japan has left, then taiwan was took over by the party that got defeated by communism, otherwise, it would still be part of China. Recently, they tried to fix up the problem of Taiwan peacefully, if u have watched the latest news. As for Vietnam, after the americain left, there was border problem between China and Vietnam, the same reason for the war between India and China, (every country has border problem with their neighbour...), especially the gouvernement has just established itself. After the war in Korea, China didn't take any advantage from Korea, but just to insure the gouvernance of the korean communism party in the north which is facing huge enonomic difficulty now, and China keep on supplying matierials to them to help them survive.

Probably, those countries took the wrong choice by choosing the communism side, yet they just fought for what they believe in and for insuring their gouvernance on their territory. If you can simply name those wars without knowing the reasons behind them, and thus judge that China wanna use its military power to dominate the world, you are really naive bullshitting.

From the history, we know that most of wars are for economic reasons, yet I would say those wars that u name aren't economically profitable for China, and after those wars, China didn't take get bigger, didn't make other countries as colonnies, there weren't oil there. They are probably for politically reasons: power and dominance, yet politics doesn't make people live better, many of these countries are still poor and underdevelopped, and they choose to "U turn" and corporate to the world economic. Hopefully, we can make each other's life better by competing in economic and improving our productivity. I really don't want to see wars like those in bf modern combat to become real.

Is English your first language? The Chinese are the enemy because that is a realistic scenario, they hate us.
 
Man, Chinese don't hate us, unlike some middle east countries where people really hate americains, becuz americains go to take over their place and take their materials.

English is my second language, I speak french, I'm canadian, I went to study in China for few semestres, and those people are so friendly to americains, well at least those that I have seen.

I should have said government, their government hates us.

So basically because China fought several wars in the 2nd half of the 20th century ALL over territory and territory that did not belong to it (India, USSR, Tibet, Nepal) but was actually too crap to actually take over a country they're really ace????
this a nation that massacres its own citizens, still has Stalin alike gulags and is building up the largest army the world has ever seen in peacetime
China as a real superpower - one very realistic and terrifying thought
 
well i hate USA (government ), but so what ? i realy dont know who likes USA politics ?
but this isnt a reson to start war .. so meh..
 
it's just like C&C Generals. USA, China and Middle East.

Yup, the most reasonable 3. It isn't going to be Venezuala, Portuagal and Taiwan fighting the next gen wars, over a soccer match or some shit like that, it is going to be ME, China, and US.

Oh man, that must have been one hell of a fight. Did Finland use their ugly women first to lower the morale of the Swedish troops?
 
Hey, I'm also equally fluent in French, but for the sake of politeness, I'll make my post in English.

Does it matter if they are peaceful or not? They the world's largest army (In terms of personel), it makes perfect sense they participate in a war _game_. What other country would you propose as an enemy? That the USA fights itself? This isn't an educational game about culture, this is a game about having fun, and if that means Chinese should fight Americans, then let it be.

If people use racist slurs by calling the enemy "chinks," that isn't your problem, they aren't ruining anything but their own reputations.
