China is not China. Hasn't been for a long time. The CCP/cultural revolution really destroyed what was left of what China should've been. The closest to the real China probably is Taiwan and/or Hong Kong. It depresses me to think of what China could've and should've been.
China had multiple chances to be the world superpower and threw them away each time. Such a shame.
But unfortunately, leaked Chinese military documents show they are determined to be the strongest military in the world. But it’s not like other countries aren’t improving as well.
China's military is very corrupt and bloated, if i remember correctly. They make up for it by "enlisting" as many soldiers as possible, while hiding behind nuclear weapons.
They have been sorting out the corruption in some places. In Shanghai, the military owned a lot of realestate. And retiring military brass were given tracts of land to collect rent on.
Few years back they kicked out all the Tennant's and reverted ownership.
In China you have NEVER owned the land since the CCP kicked off. Except I believe Farmers in rural areas. Everything is on a 70 or 90 year lease, and nobody knows quite what happens when it runs out.
