'Let us meet in the sky': China boasts US Air Force should fear new arsenal
Washington Examiner via Yahoo ^ | September 30th, 2021 | Joel Gehrke

America should fear China's growing military might, a senior Chinese air force official boasted, ominously inviting his U.S. counterparts to a meeting "in the sky."

The grim warning from People’s Liberation Army Deputy Air Force Commander Wang Wei was in apparent response to U.S. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall’s pledge last month to develop weapons that “scare China.” Wang said China, which is becoming increasingly belligerent in the Indo-Pacific region, is rolling out fearsome weapons of its own.

“I can only say, if they are not scared, let us meet in the sky,” Wang said at a recent air show.

Wang's boast extended from his own military branch to China's navy.

“The Chinese navy is capable and confident to ensure national security and defend integrity, as well as make a contribution to world peace,” said Wang, who referred to Kendall only as “a counterpart of mine who is from a major country.”

The Chinese military is not stupid enough to believe this bluster.

Our air forces dwarf their in quantity and quality.

And I'm certain the USN would love to face the PLAN in blue water.

I thought ol’ Wang died crashing into a U.S.Navy plane a while back?

Forget that post, I did it on my phone, and fat fingered it,

Which nation paid the other nation's president to relax rules that previously prevented exporting manufacture of sensitive computer equipment?

And which nation put chips in said computer equipment, (routers) "unbeknownst" to the manufacturer?

Which nation sold that computer equipment to its own governments' armed forces and defense agencies?

Which government allowed manufacture of critical computer parts FOR ITS AIR FORCE to be manufactured in the other country?

Which country has EVERY POSSIBLE SCHEMATIC AND CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT related to EVERY MAJOR WEAPONS SYSTEM, including nuclear missiles and most advanced fighter jets?

Which nation has intelligent non-hominid college students who study math and science and computers and bioweapons and which nation is paying the other to eventually destroy it?

Which nation promised to call the other nation before it would attack it?

And which nation's navy TOLD THE OTHER NATION'S NAVY THAT ITS AIRCRAFT CARRIERS DO NOT HAVE ARMOR ON THE BOTTOM OF THEIR HULLS?

I guess the Chinese haven’t found the kill switches we’ve been embedding in our designs they have been stealing all these years!

I’m not worried about the quality of our military equipment, I’m worried about the quality of our military leaders.

Hey China - have you managed to make a high performance after burning turbine that lasts more than 30 hours yet?

I thought not.

STFU China.

So, China wants to go head-to-head with the Biden’s and their globalist masters? I’m just not sure I have much of a dog in that hunt (especially if I can just get out of the way).

Nailed it!

Our pilots and aircraft head-to-head, no holds barred would rule the skies.

But, not with this craptastic cabal of commie kooks up top...

“I’m not worried about the quality of our military equipment, I’m worried about the quality of our military leaders”

Worth repeating. The big problem for the West is its leadership and determination to face up to an enemy.

Was going to say that even one Arleigh Burke class destroyer could do significant damage to the Chinese navy and Air Force……. that is, unless some “woke” “diversity” appointee doesn’t sail it into the path of a cargo ship first.

The one thing the communists Chinese can’t steal from us is Americans. They can guy the weak ones, like they own the Democrats now, but the real Americans can’t be duplicated and our pilots are the best. China helped the left with the scamdemic and it’s about time someone pointed out the medical hypocrisy and lies of the left over wuhan virus. I read an article over at DailyWire on that, “Soldiers File Lawsuit Over Military Vaccine Mandate Seeking Exemption For ‘Natural Immunity’”, so give that a look. To hear the left tell it, natural immunity and comorbidity stopped being medical things, and they hope you don’t notice nobody dies of fly any longer (just 69 last year in Canada down from 52,000 the year before). If China was actually confident then they’d be silent. They know that even with extra bodies to throw at us they will always be at a disadvantage.

China invents NOTHING and steals EVERYTHING. Americans need to stop funding communism by ceasing to buy from Amazon and others who sell Chinese goods. Leave that crap on the shelves and tell the stores why.

Obama spent 8 years replacing the good ones with fellow travelers. Now Biden is doing that for the enlisted via the mandates.

Nonsense statement that is no longer true. China was granted more new patents last year than all the countries in the world combined including the US
