it is having the supporting technology that makes a navy work and china with an aircraft carrier scares me more militarily then the soviet union ever did because I believe they have a better capacity to support the ships then the soviet union had during the cold war or even today.

Absolutely concur.
The notion of “taking shortcuts” is so intrinsic to them they are seemingly unable to make anything of quality.

China is coming.

And the U.S. is weak and unprepared.

China will slice right through us.

The legacy of Obama. Focusing on political correctness and gay rights rather than military preparedness.

China builds a (large) portion of whatever is sold in every store in America.

They build a great deal. More than we do now.

Yes, China has the economic capacity to sustain and expand their military machine. While Chinese economy would head for major economic troubles down the road, it may be a while and in the meantime, it could wreak havoc and do a lot of damage.

China builds a great deal of failure-prone, dangerous, poorly-engineered, and low-quality CRAP.

Everything they build is junk. Why would their ships be any different than their cities. These large beautiful cities that are falling apart months later because of lack of maintenance. YouTube is full of video tours of city after city just rotting away. Its the Chinese way to cut corners and half ass......

Cal Trans can attest to what happens when you use Chinese steel.

The bay bridge was rotting away from day 1.

I just watched a video linked above, and happened upon a Chinese video there.

Likely a propaganda piece. But interesting.

China is rapidly advancing. It is not the China of old. I am glad Trump is president now, but we have a lot of Americans who just do not get that China is a different country now.

We need to wake up.

Now.

By the time the Chicoms come remotely close the sea born carrier will be obsolete and we will have carriers in space.

It’s why we should stop fighting the sand fleas in the ME. Waste of blood and treasure, technology.
