Yep, but if there ever were war with China, it would likely not only be thousands of miles away. It could touch our shores.
Remember the launch of a missile off the coast of California a few years back? It was played off as a contrail from a jetliner....but some military analyst came to the conclusion it was a warning shot off the bow of America by a Chinese submarine.
This is not the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s.
Possible missile launch off coast of California by a Chinese Sub.
