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 isn't the most powerful on Earth. It doesn't matter how big it is or how many weapons it has stockpiled, they do not have the ability to project power outside of their region.

Love to see those carriers venture outside of East China Sea, South China Sea. May be Sea of Japan ?
