The key to surviving this site is to not say something which ends up as someone's tag line - Steelgrave

"their citizens (all of them counted as such) glorified their mythology of 'rights'...and lost track of their duties. No nation, so constituted, can endure." Robert Heinlein, Starship Troopers

When the economy tanks, and accidents/disasters due to corruption are widespread - what's the answer?  A military parade, and a one with a big price tag (standard for these types).
Likewise, other nations in Asia will probably follow suit (India comes to mind).

It looks like they are continuing further modernizing their equipment, and making cuts in manpower as well.  Although maybe those cuts are simply transfers to other paramilitary organizations (border units, police).
The new expenditures going forward will come at a price with an economy slowing down, and an aging population.  China has relaxed the one child policy to address the latter, and is ramping up on automation to replace manual labour in manufacturing.

nothing China is fielding has any US equivalent.  their newest sub sure as shit isnt equal to a Virginia class nor the planes equal to F-22s and F-35s.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

AFAIK, they don't even have the Type 095 sub in service yet.

Looking at that stuff shows just how good they are at spying.

I had to laugh at one of the comments on the article:

Fuck yeah, 360° Noscope!

Get some Mountain Dew!

Shoot down this Chinese stealth fighter!

More Dew!

500 points, squad wipe!

I imagine any shooting war with China will result in the Chinese Navy being turned into artificial reefs really damn fast.

The Chinese Navy after that will all be glass-bottomed, so they can see the old Chinese Navy.  ;D
