The Su-30MKKs are one of the most visible elements of China's military buildup that is quickly tipping the military balance in the Taiwan Strait in favor of the mainland.

Highly questionable statement, but the military analysis and reporters of the Washington Times have always been pretty questionable.

The Chinese really aren't buying new stuff fast enough and in enough quantity to make up for the continuing rapid obsolescence of most of their forces....overall, arguably, they're getting weaker year by year, particularly in terms of their air force.

You, my friend, sound like a Communist symphatizer trying his very best to dilute the real and very present threat from Communist China.

Frankly, the only thing I find questionable is this assertion. The one thing that stands out about the Times Weekly Edition is that it's so far ahead of the curve on China.

It's getting so bad, I can predict the threads you'll be spewing your lying propaganda in before I even open them. This, on top of being able to recognize your posts before I know who the author is.

The only thing I can't figure out about you is who you're working for. I'm starting to think maybe it's the WWP. You're too obsessed with downplaying the China threat to be working for CAIR.

Whoever you are, it's almost time to make a new name and start over, Johnny Hong Kong. Make a new name and begin your reasonable, moderate charade all over again. Cat's pretty much out of the bag on this one. You've been made.

I don't think the Chinese are getting weaker in their abilities and intents to sin against us, get a grip.
