It follows an ominous warning last week by the commander of US forces in the Indo-Pacific that China may launch a military operation against Taiwan "in the next six years". This would likely lead to military reprisals from the US Navy and allies including Britain, which is sending its new carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, to lead a multinational strike force to the Far East in May. China commands the world's largest military, with 2.18 million soldiers, sailors and aviators on active duty. And after a recent 6.8 percent rise it will command a £200billion military budget this year.
But it is the combination of sheer mass, technological advances and the fusing of military doctrine in all of premier Xi Jinping's political and economic policies that makes the authoritarian regime such a threat.
The expansion of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) and advances in missile and drone technology are particularly worrying, experts say.
China has been accelerating its shipbuilding since 2015 as part of Xi's programme of reforms to create a world class navy. In September the US Department of Defense acknowledged the plan had finally surpassed the US Navy in size.

It can’t be for show.
Big deal. We’ve got them beat with maternity combat uniforms.
And primarily funded by US.
Not impressed by China’s building.
What does impress me is their support, and knowledge gained by that, of terrorists’ drone use. That’s the coming war skill.
China building up their military, Russia continuing it’s develpment and the Middle Eastern Countries arming up........things are certainly shaping up over there.
And we’ll follow up by doing sex changes for all 2.18 million of them. The “One Child” policy created quite an imballence.
The leftist mocked Trump’s Space Force. We better be looking to protect our space assets from attack.
Our greatest strength is our command/control/logistics/surveillance from above. It is also our greatest weakness and the Chinese, Russians, Iranians, NKoreans know it.
The nations just mentioned are working overtime in the development of anti-satellite technology that can maneuver toward our assets and neutralize them. Basically blinding our military.
I’ve had the idea for a while that the Chinese military’s idea of sensitivity training is only “ try not to step on own wounded if you can avoid it.”
Our vulnerabilities are very apparent. We are ripe for defeat.
China may launch a military operation against Taiwan “in the next six years”.>>>>>>
More like in the next six months.
Biden has incredibly wakened the military command structure.
It ain’t the weapons that concern me but our weak and feminized soldiers, generals and puppet president.
World Wars are a great way to wipe out surplus male populations and get rich with war contracts as a side benefit for all the old coggers too old to be forced to fight. It’s a matter of when not if WWIV kicks off WWIII was already fought in the 80_90s the fall of the USSR was it’s ending.
