China's military build up the last 15 years has been deadly serious.
Their army, air force, navy, and special forces are large, well equipped, vastly trained, and technologically advanced.

BEIJING (Reuters) - China’s air force has released a video showing nuclear-capable H-6 bombers carrying out a simulated attack on what appears to be Andersen Air Force Base on the U.S. Pacific island of Guam, as regional tensions rise.
The video, released on Saturday on the People’s Liberation Army Air Force Weibo account, came as China carried out a second day of drills near Chinese-claimed Taiwan, to express anger at the visit of a senior U.S. State Department official to Taipei.
Guam is home to major U.S. military facilities, including the air base, which would be key to responding to any conflict in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Chinese air force’s two minute and 15 second video, set to solemn, dramatic music like a trailer for a Hollywood movie, shows H-6 bombers taking off from a desert base. The video is called “The god of war H-6K goes on the attack!”
Halfway through, a pilot presses a button and looses off a missile at an unidentified seaside runway.
The missile homes in on the runway, a satellite image of which is shown that looks exactly like the layout of Andersen.

“Was it over when the Chinese bombed Guam?”
“He’s on a roll.”
Japanese built a copy of Pearl Harbor to practice bomb. Must be an Asian thing.
Oh, the horror! My first thought when I saw this was...”Well, duh!”
I am sure it was released for a purpose, and I am sure the response of the US Military personnel who saw it was (after a generous eye-roll) “Well, sure. What the Hell else would they attack?”
It just makes them look stupid, in my opinion. I have come to view the Chicoms as a larger, slightly less insane version of North Korea.
Does the video show the retaliatory strike on Beijing and Shanghai from a US Boomer?
Does the replica also capsize?
I wonder about how Chinese pilots feel the moment that they realize that their planes were made in China. Would scare me.
Dang. You beat me to it, damn you!
Well there you go.
China's military build up the last 15 years has been deadly serious.
Their army, air force, navy, and special forces are large, well equipped, vastly trained, and technologically advanced.
And the Chinese themselves are deadly serious.
Heh...
Thinking of North Korea, is that fat boy dead yet? Is his sister running things?
Funny how that dropped out of the news...last I heard, she was “running things” but we haven’t seen the fat corpse yet.
Yet we even now, are continuing to run a MASSIVE trade deficit with China.
Continuously now, for decades.
I think our CIA should foment a civilian uprising.
That and help the Three Gorges dam have a catastrophic failure.
They have their hands full already with the one they are orchestrating here domestically as part of the ongoing coup attempt.
China Now Floats World's Largest Navy: Should the U.S. Be Very Afraid?
I will readily grant that, as has been said in the past, quantity provides a quality all of its own. And we have given them the resources in the form of American currency to achieve that quantity.
And, to be sure, our Navy does have significant problems of its own, as Bill Whittle is careful to point out in this video. But Bill Whittle provides a counterpoint that is valid as well.
The Communist Chinese may indeed make a grave mistake for the world and follow in the footsteps of the Japanese in 1931. But if they do, that won't mean all is lost.
America and the Free World are not invincible.
But neither are the Communist Chinese.
Of course we can be certain VR images of Chinese targets are loaded in American military combat flight simulators.
One thing I would do immediately is reload our tridents with full ear shots and not the meager four nukes they have now. 24times ten sounds to me better than24 times 4.
