Actually the current government on the mainland brought down the previous dynasty with about the same efficiency they’ve taken America’s factories.
Not sure on what you’re basing your prediction.
The KMT might disagree with you. From across the Taiwan Strait.
Maybe they’ll only have 15 on their carrier. LOL
Our carrier based AWAC planes don’t look any bigger than that.
J15 “Interest on US Debt” was a bit long.
Brand spankin’ new ‘70s technology?
I dunno.
Not sure I understand the mocking. Not one bit. We are unilaterally disarming everything which made America great and powerful.
What’s worse - in the process we are creating the most truly powerful potential adversary our nation has ever faced.
Bar none.
That is why they have to copy everything. Now LOL LOL that is funny!”
They're smart enough to know that it's far cheaper and quicker to buy the information they want from their enemies who have corrupt politicians who will sell anything to get campaign funds. Then they can spend their time and money on advancements, perfections and tweaks to make an improved product.
That may very well be. Even on the new UK carriers, I think the total complement is 36 aircraft.
Rule #1. Don’t go into debt and borrow money from your adversaries to the point where your interest payments can fund their military by itself.
Yeah. No s***.
Amazing what is being allowing to happen.
Mind-boggling. Is nobody looking out for our country??
No. Not one elected official of either party is willing to even propose balancing the budget this year and every following.
Visit the math and engineering departments at any university near you...
Do Revell or Airfix have factories in China?
They haven't taken a single factory. Our companies are going there and building the newest, most efficient factories to ship stuff back here. Blame US for our own problems. Coke, GM, Ford, etc have built there what they won't build here and making plenty of money in the process.
Chinese for "target." It's gotta be.
I say this only semi-facetiously. It's one thing to have an aircraft carrier. It's another to operate it.
And it's a whole 'nuther thing entirely to keep it alive and afloat in a shooting war.
One of our subs would take this thing out in about five minutes.
Dedication by those who’ve immigrated to the States is indeed a testament to making smart choices, but that doesn’t mean they’re smarter. In my experience, there’s nothing unique about the Chinese student or engineer that promotes the idea they’re “smarter” than their “White” counterparts. Perhaps your experience was different.
And their boys and girls are learning Chinese AND English, while mastering math AND science, while our little boys and girls are training to be social workers and rap stars.
It wasn’t the current government on the mainland that brought down the last dynasty.
It was what is now the government of Taiwan that did that.
Yes they do actually
Varyag was the Russian name.
The thing is really a rebuild of the old Soviet ship.
I don’t think they have revealed the Chinese name yet.
