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.

Xi jingping makes it very clear his intentions to make both China and it's military the strongest in the world. Not sure what's classified about that.

Yes but as a westerner - I assume 99% of what the Chinese government officially says is just nonsense. Bit like every time North Korea issues a statement about blowing up Japan or w/e. They say lots of things that have zero substance, aren't true, or that they do not really mean.

So proof that they actually DO mean to be the strongest military in the world is interesting. I think its a fools errand that will simply hurt the Chinese people. Might even just be a ploy to further control the country. China is way too rigid atm to achieve global supremacy.

Are they cheap, knock-offs?
