The Chinese announce an advanced mil tech ready to be deployed so everyone knows how advanced they are - its a matter of prestige. While the US keeps quiet on the same mil tech first tested over a decade previous - do we have one or the similar? Did the Zero and his cohorts in Congress kill the budget for something like this through their sequestration budgets?
We can guess as can the Chinese, but they have already played their hand.

More than likely in order to free up money for various mandatory LGBTXYZ, and women in combat arms programs.
