Fun Fact If China made 1 military base each year like they are doing now it would still take about 800 years to equal the number of USA's military base at present
If it's been their openly declared goal for years why is this surprising? A large country with massive and still growing economy modernizing its military is a normal thing is it not?
@@xuimod True, they're also expanding it and quickly. But that has been their openly declared goal for years. And a Nation as reliant on trade as China does need a big navy.
The United States had over 850 KNOWN ( not counting the 'unknown' ) military bases around the world paid for by American tax payers with moz of the military bases around China. Juz Japan alone has 23 bases. The US has over 10 nuclear powered aircraft carriers all over the planet. If America can have military expansion on land and at sea, why other countries can't do the same?
Because it's all transparent. The U.S isn't going around stealing hundreds of billions worth of IP from other countries, they aren't going around telling small countries they want to build a beltway then forcing a military base in it's place.
No one ask for a military base in Spratly Island, ignoring International Law, but more importantly stealing fishing industry away from Philipines, Malaysia, Vietnam. Because CCP think it their waters and unwilling to share amongs neighbors.
You seem to forget the fact that America is at least asking for permission before building bases. Whereas China is forcing the construction of military bases in disputed territories.
because they all signed to treaties and alliances like the UN, choosing to trust that international law will protect their borders from invasion. The world has already tried doing what you suggested, the result was hundreds of millions dead in meaningless wars.
@倾城空城 Why don't you talk about the fact that China also has foreign military bases and installations? If you gonna criticize the US for having foreign military bases, why don't you also criticize China then? They have: 1. Djibouti -Chinese People's Liberation Army Support Base in Djibouti (中国人民解放军驻吉布提保障基地 ) 2.Myanmmar- A naval SIGINT facility in the Great Coco Island 3.Tajikistan-A military post in southeastern Gorno-Badakhshan. 4. New one in Cambodia Two wrongs don't make it right. Whataboutism don't make it right Ancient Chinese history? The world don't care about your past. The world don't revolve around China. There are some 190-odd other countries in the world.
US builds military bases to encircle China, sends carrier strike groups off its coast for decades. China: modernizes and expands its military US: NO WAIT YOU CAN'T DO THAT
"Their defense budget almost doubled in the last decade" NO!! Their GDP doubled in the last decade, so it's natural that its military budget follows its economic growth. They're spending the same percentage with defense.

That should obviously tell you that China doesn't stand a chance. It's already surrounded by adversarial nations. It needs to stop threatening and trying to replace the US (which will never happen) and focus on expanding the freedoms of the Chinese people.
Military expenditure as percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) in highest spending countries 2021 North Korea-24% (approx.) Russia-4.1% USA-3.5% South Korea-2.8% India-2.7% UK-2.2% Australia-2% China-1.8%
@@onjoro5291 Lack of transparency and management. I'd also like to note the real number of Mil. Expenditure to GDP is a much higher %, as Chinese reported GDP is much higher than actual GDP - as we know from the real estate crashes and economic reporting from other parties (western, and eastern).
China under reports their military spending while likely over reporting their GDP. They're probaly spending as much as the US especially if you take into account that the US military spending includes personel welfare.

Exactly. These media and west hostile policy is make china more and more speed up. The more hostile west became the more support cpp get from their people
@AeroXy Fairwell, which will also speed up the rate that the neighbors of communist China who consider them their main security threat will also rapidly arm themselves. The Japanese for example are gradually ammending their previous pacifist constitution to allow for a robust and significant defense to the threat from communist China. They will soon be spending up to the NATO guideline of 2% of their GDP. Australia and several other nations particularly India are also rapidly arming themselves for protection from the communist Chinese threat.
@@Longsilog4920 I can live with that if the US can live with China's military spending increase, which much higher than all of its neighbours combind.

So don't know why that NATO guidline matters to them anyway.
@Supernova, there is a debate to be made about whether the US is hypocritical on this matter but then there is also a legitimate point to make that communist Chinese expansionism and militarization are coming at the expense of many of their neighboring countries. Few nations in the world have as many militarized territorial disputes as the communist Chinese who already rule a vast land mass but are not satisfied. There is also a legtimate reason why many of communist China's neighbors consider them their main security threat.

Yes because US is the sworn protector of more countries than any other country on earth. It also incorporates more countries under its nuclear umbrella than any other country. China does not.
@Moni Penny most "netizens" are bots that are owned by China and Russia. Ukraine isn't begging China for help. They are begging the US because they know we are the one that will help them. Not China. China isn't free. Xi is a dictator and millions of Chinese can't even leave their own homes because of living in an authoritarian dictatorship. China is threatening Taiwan and when it invades, the US will help Taiwan because that's what the US does. And if it comes down to it, the US will fight China and win easily
Who would have thought the U.S would have built NATO bases on NATO allied territory with NATO agreements, complete with NATO regs that define our rights and privileges where NATO was requested? GOD FORBID Let's bring them all Chinese Socialist liberation and Russian denazification
There is a reason this video is only 6 minutes. Looking forward to 6 hours long American Military Expansion video including a whole section of strategic hostile military encirclement of China and Russia.
Have you ever wondered why countries are letting American bases on their soil? Hint: it's not because China and Russia wants to leave their neighbors in peace.
It is not a democracy and has explicit territorial claims outside it's territory not backed by law.A large number of countries are worried by Chinese expansion and curiously enough they are mostly democracies.A smaller number of countries back China and they are mostly Dictatorships. I wonder why. China backs Russia as well
@TrendTok - Daily TikTok Videos It matters, because that's how balance of power works. If US goes with its expansionist policies in Asia, then the China will use its power to resist it. If US can follow Monroe Doctrine, China will also formulate one.
@Sanctus Paulus 1962 If US values democracy and liberty, why it is so afraid to, export democracy to Saudi Arabia like they did to Afghanistan, Libya and Iraq?
I highly doubt china and russia are transparant with their numbers plus wages are way way way higher in america than in China and russia so you need a bigger part of gdp. American equipment is also more expensive because the people that make them get paid way more than your average made in russia or china equipment. Its not all about numbers you have to use your brain if you want to properly analyse a countries spending
Yes and honestly, considering the current climate expect Military spending/buildup of all countries to increase (i.e. Arms Race). Which only makes any future conflict that much more scary.
@John Hero also trade with USA is bilateral unlike china where trade is highly inclined towards china. perfect examples are sri lanka and pakistan whose economy is waning only bcz debt trap policy of china.. USA use its bases to deter any country threatening global peace and order.. according to me as an INDIAN, these bases can and will always act as deterrent to china's global ambition.. and yes country's are waking and rejecting china's debt trap proposals. recent examples are group of islands around australia except solomon island..
@@indertat93 Taiwan isn't sovereign, its own constitution literally says its part of china. So china does recognize recognition, why doesn't usa recognize north Cyprus which is led by a US ally? Why doesn't US recognize Afghanistan, they won fair and square and took all your petty weapons. Russia not the same but china recognizes everyone. Taiwan by its own constitution is a part of china
the fact that china is actually willing to dock their own nuclear armed ballistic missile submarines in a clearly visible area somewhat follows their narrative of having minimal nuclear deterence
China has a "Great Underground Wall" of more than 5,000 kilometers - a solid underground fortification dug in the mountains that can store nuclear weapons
USA terrorists needs to be stopped. own americans know dems are destroying the country. end dems terrorism live in peace with Donald. 0 wars in 4 years
I think that is common practice for submarines, even ones carrying nukes. I don't believe US has any underwater submarine bases, though of course they could very well be secret. But nuclear ballistic subs have to return to port periodically in the US as well. You can see youtube videos of them. I do believe China still follows a minimal nuclear policy so far, though the lesson from the Ukraine war may cause them to increase build up. Putin has very successfully used the nuclear threat to limit US's involvement.
I don’t understand why it’s a such a shocker for the fast growing economy in the world to keep spending on its military and defense? You expect China’s economy to grow 50x but not modernize and expand its military? Do y’all play video games?
Every nation will invest in it's military. What's shocking isn't "their military is getting bigger" it's "they're aggressively expanding in every direction AND their military is becoming the biggest."

@Watcher because china has a population of a billion people, has nukes, and spends the second highest on their military. Still doesn’t mean china knows anything about fighting wars
Actually, i am more interested in US's military bases than China's. Because China's are just around its doors. While US's are around the other countries 'door. Apparently, US 's are more interesting. Anyone agree?
how many countries in Asia are willing to base US missiles beside US colonies of Japan and South Korea? none. the reason is simple because no responsible leader wants to turn their country into nuclear wasteland.
Not really, since the US has had them for 50+ years without using them. I'm more concerned about China. This level of expansion indicates that it plans to start something big, relatively soon. Just like the military buildup in Ukraine before the war served as a warning of what was about to happen, this level of expansion should not be ignored. China wouldn't waste money building a military it didn't intend to put to use.
@@VVayVVard True. And along with that, the U.S, unlike China, does not have a recent history of border disputes and frequent incursions into other nations territory.
Since Russia has 6000 nuclear devices and the USA has 5000 warheads, China must work very hard to keep up. 300 pieces are too few. China should have 5500 pieces.
when we are all standing knee deep in petrol, it doesn't matter how many matches you are holding, or your enemies are holding, just one will kill us all
5000 can destroy all continents. 150 is enough to destroy China or US once so why need 5000 of those to re-strike ashes. Today’s nuke ain’t weak as Hiroshima atomic bomb
Ironic yes, but necessary. Considering the potential threat it poses, why shouldn’t an American news outlet be able to talk about a foreign country’s military expansion?
Imagine another nation trying to assert itself as a hegemon instead of it just being the U.S. I am not Chinese, but props to China for not being scared to show some muscle to a nation that has a military base in practically every nation.
“It’s unwise to bite the hand that feeds you.” Basically describes china rn. Without US buisness and outsourcing of labor, china would be a 3rd world poverty bucket stuck in the 60s.
I was born in 1949. At that time China set out on their 100 year plan to become the dominant world power.In my lifetime China have gone from a peasant based agrarian society who were proud to own a bicycle, or small two wheel tractor for their farm, with very little industrial capacity,to becoming the factory of the world. From steam trains to bullet trains and millions flying around their country weekly. Within 30 years China will become the dominant nation, if they aren't already.
@Nātānsaurus with age comes the ability to to have witnessed all that has come to be in your lifetime. To come to realise the absolute futility of warfare of any sort. And to pray for a time when war is banished from this planet. If nothing else that is what I have learnt in my life.
not to mention millions of Chinese speaking English while about few Americans knowing Chinese language, it is not hard language, it is because you look down on the eastern part of the world
You cant compare China to the US. The reason the US could have a lot of military bases around the world in the first place is because they have a lot of countrys with which they have good relationships, for good reason.
When gangsters keep on bullying near my land, of course i will prepare to defend by buying weapons. So, China has legitimate reason to increase defense capabilities.
Don't be a fool. USA could have crushed China like a bug decades ago, if it wanted to. For all the USA's flaws, the ONLY major wars it fight are against countries that attack other countries (NK invaded SK, NV inaded SV, Iraq invaded Iran then Kuwait)) or countries that attacked the the (Afghanistan) or countries (or parts of countries).

Comparisons of military spending budgets need to stop. They mislead in the extreme. The $ spent in the US like $3B for a new Destroyer that doesn’t work, doesn’t mean the Chinese $3B is spent the same way. These drive-by comparisons only serve to keep pressure on more US spending, instead of forcing reform on how its spent.
@@leemacdonald6533 correct. Look up their production rate on their new Type 55 guided missile Destroyers which have about a 12,000 ton displacement. Currently the communist Chinese PLA Navy lack the tonnage of the American navy vesels but they are catching up fast. This in addition to the fact that they already have the largest navy in the world by far. Xi Jinping is serious about getting the communist Chinese military as the most powerful military in the world by 2049, and fully modernized by 2030. They plan to have a global presence similar to the US. This is highly concerning for many countries who consider the communist Chinese as their main security threat.
@@leemacdonald6533 How much did the type 055 destroyer/cruiser cost? Around 880 million dollars? You can build 3 of that with just 3 billion, or build a heavy guided missile cruiser at that cost.
You do not get the bigger picture here. China has no democratic and human values at all. Chinese rulers dream of an imperialistic china that is the only dominant power of the world. Without minding about any international rules.
@@indertat93 have you seen how many countries the US has invaded? How many millions of innocent people killed. How many lives destroyed all for US hegemony! Which country has China invaded?
Well, if you keep threatening your neighbour, do expect your neighbour to increase their security. And in some cases, if the neighbour is mad enough, he might even invade the other neighbour to build more security. Moral of the story, stop instigating your neighbour.
As if inflation from a distant minor conflict with Ukraine was not enough, any war with China would destroy Humanity's prosperity for an entire generation. The Chinese have cheap mass produced weapons that can depopulate American cities cheaply via biochemical means. They also have no qualms using them and are prepared to pay the price in a retaliatory strike. Is the US willing to do the same for the tiny island of Taiwan over 5000 miles away? I doubt it.

China doesn't owe anyone any explanation. They build Nuclear weapons and build their military because they need it for something. To be honest though, all this nuclear power thing make me hoped that my country had a nuclear weapon. I know its just some video game character (Skullface from Metal Gear Solid V) who said this but it might be that having a nuclear weapon is the only way to make us stand equal to each other. After all, Jordan Peterson once said that by knowing the other side is capable of aggression made a discussion more civil and respectful. America can't tell Russia what to do because they have a lot of nuclear weapon, China also doesn't listen to America because they had nuclear weapon(and Economic influence).
military spending doesn't directly translate to a better or more robust military. This number does not take into account overpayment to corporations and kickbacks. For instance you can hire 2 companies to do the same work and pay twice as much to one of them and sure you have spent more but you did not actually get more.

Although I'm a U.S. citizen, I am speaking for myself. I'd prefer that the U.S drastically reduce it's military presence throughout the world, and focus on protecting our borders. If other countries want our type of democracy, it should be home-grown and not imported by us. Countries like German, France, Japan, Italy, etc. should not require our presence, and should bear more responsibility for any peacekeeping (if necessary) in their part of the world. Further, it only makes sense for China to modernize/expand their military, as at present they would be outclassed by the U.S. in anything other than a land war in China. Finally, the biggest threat to the U.S. is internal rather than external.
@@lucyinthesky2026 Bruh, im from Indonesia and I can tell you the US have never deployed their troops here other than for training like last year's Garuda Shield
When China build up its military, Americans raised alarm that they are not up to any good. But at the sametime, they need talk about their own arsenal which is much more powerful and more numerous than China. That is why they always set their own rules for the rest of the world to obey and they called them the universal rules for the rest of the world !
The aggressive US presence in South China Sea plays a strong role to stimulate Chinese military build up just like banning China from ISS pushed China to build ISS, banning ASML, a Dutch company, selling chip making machine to China now China is building new chip tech that doesn’t need ASML and banning Google to license Android resulted Chinese Harmony OS. So, China should thank US for the fast advancements in multiple fronts and independence.

in the age of hypersonic weapons, you do not need bases. China just needs a few ports around the globe to refuel and re-supply its fleet of warships to protect its interest. unlike some warmonger, China does not have the ambition of fighting two and half wars.
What countries will want Chinese bases on their territory? I can think of Cambodia, Pakistan, maybe Sri Lanka because of debt. Are there any in the Gulf, Africa or the America's maybe Venezula? If those countries agree to Chinese bases I don't think America can do anything. The America bases are in Countries who are allies and have defense treaties. Does China have such treaties or will the bases be entirely to promote Chinese interests?

The response is triggered from US standpoint to prevent soviet union from seizing control of them. (also at that point its republic of China, so ROC, an US ally) On the other hand, since US and UN recognizes CCP as China that inherit all ROC assets, if resolution 2758 is deemed as the sole and only legal source, then it is considered China's (CCP's) You can see it is very open to interpretation, and each side will only interpret the terms to their advantage.
The answer is simple. If the US stops encircling China with military bases then China wouldn't advance it's military this fast. The perfect example is to look at Europe where NATO constantly pushing the East and now look at what is the consequences. Don't always view from one side of the story. If China is surrounding the US borders I'm sure the US will do the same or even more aggressively counter the threats.

I think that is common practice for submarines, even ones carrying nukes. I don't believe US has any underwater submarine bases, though of course they could very well be secret. But nuclear ballistic subs have to return to port periodically in the US as well. You can see youtube videos of them. I do believe China still follows a minimal nuclear policy so far, though the lesson from the Ukraine war may cause them to increase build up. Putin has very successfully used the nuclear threat to limit US's involvement.

Well, if you keep threatening your neighbour, do expect your neighbour to increase their security. And in some cases, if the neighbour is mad enough, he might even invade the other neighbour to build more security. Moral of the story, stop instigating your neighbour.
You're saying this to China right? Because China is the only country in Asia besides NK threatening its neighbors
That’s exactly how us sailing along China’s coastal and threatens China forces China to increase their security.
So the US should just let China grow its military? You do know the CCP is absolute evil right?
As if inflation from a distant minor conflict with Ukraine was not enough, any war with China would destroy Humanity's prosperity for an entire generation.
The Chinese have cheap mass produced weapons that can depopulate American cities cheaply via biochemical means. They also have no qualms using them and are prepared to pay the price in a retaliatory strike.
Is the US willing to do the same for the tiny island of Taiwan over 5000 miles away? I doubt it.
What monroe doctrine is about? Invade your neighbour.
*Excellent content . Everyone struggle for financial independence and better life. It’s not difficult in achieving this through the right investment and taking the right steps toward it, I’m glad I learnt early in life to work hard for financial freedom*
In my opinion, venturing into a good investment, is not just a strategy for generating passive income but a profitable saving method for future expenses. Those who fail to make the right decisions early in life end up regretting. Nevertheless, investing can be difficult and risky doing it solely ,For this reason , I advise on seeking help from professionals(financial advisor). It’s not just watching videos and reading investment book but the challenge is using it well.

Considering the massive amount of US bases around the world, I think this is actually fine
Their intention is not right tho
@@lotterylarry7777 american intention is not right, the china one is right
@@axum4335 china being right?? What, being a modern day imperialist is right?? Im not saying that the west is right... But China aggressiveness towards its neighbors specially in south china sea is wrongg they're bullying other countries, and they want to test the resolve of a sleeping giant.. last time an asian country disturbed a giant is that they got blown up.. do you want that to happen again? Stop saying that china or the west is right as they're just equally wrong.
@@lotterylarry7777 by ur logic build military bases for defensive uses is not a good intention, genius
China doesn't owe anyone any explanation. They build Nuclear weapons and build their military because they need it for something. To be honest though, all this nuclear power thing make me hoped that my country had a nuclear weapon. I know its just some video game character (Skullface from Metal Gear Solid V) who said this but it might be that having a nuclear weapon is the only way to make us stand equal to each other. After all, Jordan Peterson once said that by knowing the other side is capable of aggression made a discussion more civil and respectful.
America can't tell Russia what to do because they have a lot of nuclear weapon, China also doesn't listen to America because they had nuclear weapon(and Economic influence).
military spending doesn't directly translate to a better or more robust military. This number does not take into account overpayment to corporations and kickbacks. For instance you can hire 2 companies to do the same work and pay twice as much to one of them and sure you have spent more but you did not actually get more.
Chinese start military training from age of 6, you really think China can be compared to USA? With Imperial Japanaise Army maybe !
@@PutinIsKing that's a valid point however i'm not sure how that is a reply or related to my comment about the differences in military spending vs military might. seems like this is more a seperate unrelated comment on another aspect of the video rather than a reply to my comment about the spending...
That's right. The u.s. millitary spending is quite inflated due to kickbacks and lobbying

How about showing us how many US military bases have around the whole world?
When you are bullied then that is what you should do
China is like russia . They always say "WE ARE BULLIED" kkkkkk Infact, NO ONE BULLIED THEM. They just want to invade other countries
Although I'm a U.S. citizen, I am speaking for myself. I'd prefer that the U.S drastically reduce it's military presence throughout the world, and focus on protecting our borders. If other countries want our type of democracy, it should be home-grown and not imported by us. Countries like German, France, Japan, Italy, etc. should not require our presence, and should bear more responsibility for any peacekeeping (if necessary) in their part of the world. Further, it only makes sense for China to modernize/expand their military, as at present they would be outclassed by the U.S. in anything other than a land war in China. Finally, the biggest threat to the U.S. is internal rather than external.
The U.S. does it for strategic reasons the want Europe to depend on them militarily

i would imagine if china hasn't develope its military capacity it has today, the US would long waged war to stop china from advancing economically
When China build up its military, Americans raised alarm that they are not up to any good. But at the sametime, they need talk about their own arsenal which is much more powerful and more numerous than China. That is why they always set their own rules for the rest of the world to obey and they called them the universal rules for the rest of the world !
Until the globe get tired of their #### and get rid of them, Americas not invincible
Interesting and worthwhile video.
Where Is The Wall Street Journal ? What is going on the Wall Street?
The aggressive US presence in South China Sea plays a strong role to stimulate Chinese military build up just like banning China from ISS pushed China to build ISS, banning ASML, a Dutch company, selling chip making machine to China now China is building new chip tech that doesn’t need ASML and banning Google to license Android resulted Chinese Harmony OS. So, China should thank US for the fast advancements in multiple fronts and independence.
Nice Chyna name aalex
beautiful sight to be hold.
Why? Do you want war? Because if you want it, you can have it. We actually have combat experience and would win, unlike China.
@@dying_allthetime It is quite ironic that the only way for peace according to you will be for everyone else to be relatively unarmed.
No wonder US bases are everywhere "defensively".
@@dying_allthetime No the West has female officers now. Absolute chaos if a real war happened. Western men (especially military simps) are super betas these days. They wouldn't stand a chance against an all-male military like China. As Chinese women make babies to create more Chinese. China still understands biology unlike the woke West. Also those Chinese soldiers will fight hard to get a wife since Chinese women are in such short supply and have high standards. Or they will just come take foreign war brides as US female military officers run away from the combat zone and give them warships, military bases, etc.
If only these low IQ Gov employed males who comply with military would understand how stupid they are. And instead of blowing stuff up they could be working and producing value/wealth. And without Gov they wouldn't need a Gov income to get a woman. Because Gov is a woman's husband. So what is there to even fight for anyways? You're telling me the US or UK Gov is better than China? Not really. We are all slaves regardless of where we live because of the Gov soldiers. The real enemy is the Gov itself. All of them. Stop giving them power.

you wumaos are so insecure lol
U're mad, fam
AND YES CHINA ALSO WANTS A PIECE OF YOUR LAND NO PERMISSION NEEDED JUST SLAP IT UP.... ALSO DON'T COMPLAIN IF THEY EVER DID ONE
in the age of hypersonic weapons, you do not need bases. China just needs a few ports around the globe to refuel and re-supply its fleet of warships to protect its interest.
unlike some warmonger, China does not have the ambition of fighting two and half wars.
What countries will want Chinese bases on their territory? I can think of Cambodia, Pakistan, maybe Sri Lanka because of debt. Are there any in the Gulf, Africa or the America's maybe Venezula? If those countries agree to Chinese bases I don't think America can do anything. The America bases are in Countries who are allies and have defense treaties. Does China have such treaties or will the bases be entirely to promote Chinese interests?
How about showing us the ridiculous number of bases the US have all over the world not only inside it's sovereign territories. How about you show the history of their continuous expansion, astronomical spending, nuclear weapons, submarines, air craft carriers....etc.
@Ryan Oxford are you seriously going to convince a Palestinian that the US is a fair power broker?! So the Ukrainian are heros and supplies with weapons to defeat the occupiers, but Palestinian are terrorists when defending their occupied territories, territories may I add are recognized under international law and by the Israeli supreme court itself as occupied territories.
In fact, the United States was the first country to recognize the South China Sea as belonging to China
Reference please.... I would like to know more.
@@ChenRay-zg1ej I lost my sources, so the information is up to you to consider whether it is credible or not.
Based on my understanding, the term "recognize" is very open to interpretation between the two parties
Did US help China "recover" these islands? Yes, but they are never recognized as sovereign. The response is triggered from US standpoint to prevent soviet union from seizing control of them. (also at that point its republic of China, so ROC, an US ally)
On the other hand, since US and UN recognizes CCP as China that inherit all ROC assets, if resolution 2758 is deemed as the sole and only legal source, then it is considered China's (CCP's)
You can see it is very open to interpretation, and each side will only interpret the terms to their advantage.
USA should look into this.
Confucius said "don't wait until enemy has big nuclear arsenal".
The answer is simple. If the US stops encircling China with military bases then China wouldn't advance it's military this fast. The perfect example is to look at Europe where NATO constantly pushing the East and now look at what is the consequences. Don't always view from one side of the story. If China is surrounding the US borders I'm sure the US will do the same or even more aggressively counter the threats.
Yes exactly true.
Some people just thinks US is the hero like in movies. For instance, In almost every movie Russia, China are the villains makes stupid people believe.
show US military expansion too
Agreed, this would truly show that the WSJ is unbiased.

Wonderful news. China's military must match the USA in every respect. As Mao had said "Prepare against war, prepare against natural disasters, serve the people." in the event of war China must be victorious. No ifs no buts. It must also be fought on the enemies' soil not on Chinese soil.
