“China’s shrinking, not expanding. The only truth out of China is that everything is 100% false.”
And Russia is a Third World country making mincemeat out of top-of-the-line NATO hardware.
We can keep THINKING that China is also a backwards, Third World, country, but try looking up some REAL statistics, like steel production or car production. It’s all there, no one is hiding it.
The ARROGANCE of the West will likely mean the end of the West...and as we’re destroyed people would be asking how we missed what was happening in the rest of the world?
Answer: We NEVER bothered to look. Pretty much the same thing that left Israel wide open to a massacre.
Just shut up. I lived there for 20 years. Their economy has always been a lie. It was a good run, but now it’s all crashing down. I don’t give a shit about Russia’s economy. It’s the size of Nebraska’s.
Go find someone dumber than you to listen to your world knowledge. You’ve never left your own state.
At its height China’s GDP was about $9 trillion. Good enough to be 2nd in the world but nowhere close to the $15 trillion they were reporting.

A recent Army mechanic AIT grad said just that. The newer vehicle replacing the Humvee is over-teched. There is no such thing as a simple battle field repair that can be done to limp it back to base. The word on this is for the simplest of problems, destroy the vehicle. Which is where our military/industrial corruption lies. Make it so complicated and expensive that they get to sell more replacements.
China might be imploding economy wise, and full of corruption, but I bet their military is not imploding and that their equipment follows the Russian standard of being dirt simple. While their economy is busy collapsing their military can be busy taking over Taiwan. The USSR did it for decades.

Not only that. China has eight times the STEM graduates of the USA
