Pentagon warns China is an even bigger threat than we thought

So this came from a Pentagon source. Russia was saber rattling last week. My question is..
How big of a step has China really taken and, what has the US done in response to these threats? How do we compare? A military discussion would be appreciated.

Warnings of regional threats have largely focused on North Korea’s nuclear missile programs, and Russia’s recent unveiling of a heap of deadly new weapons. But a top Pentagon official has just issued a new warning: China is creating advanced futuristic weapons capable of wiping out the west’s current military technology.
quote:
“China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is developing and fielding numerous advanced, long-range land-attack and anti-ship cruise missiles, some capable of reaching supersonic speeds, operated from ground, air, ship, and submarine platforms,” he said. He said the rising superpower is also working on a bomber with a nuclear mission, which would give Beijing a nuclear triad of land, air and sea-based nuclear weapon systems.

But according to Ashley, the threat China poses is just as dire. He warned its military is developing capabilities to “dissuade, deter or defeat” any potential intervention from a third-party nation.

I really do believe in our dear leader, but I don't want to find this out.
A war with China is one where we all lose.

We can wait china out
A. They are old (one child policy and what not)
B. They are turning back to the old communist ways
We should remove the chains and let the free market roll. We'll put Russia and China in the rear view in a decade

They may be developing some badass equipment but their grounds troops are largely untested. We'd kick their arse in a ground war and YES I know they have a large Army.

NK fear mongering fails so...oh yea the Red Menace lets see if that will stick. ISIS failed. Syria failed. Russia failed. NK failed.
And around we go.
And around we go.

And they think we should ban guns.

China has been readying for war for a decade. They have recently stepped it up.
Good thing we went over there and modernized their nation right!

I could definitely see them having advanced weaponry in their military arsenal.
However, the bottom line is that they no more want war with Russia or the US than we do with them.
All the shiny things are merely shiny deterrents which above all - appear largely untested.

Xi's recent move to become president for life worries me.
He is going down the same path Hitler took.
1. Fix economy to gain wide support
2. Slowly, quietly build up military while showing aggression to neighboring countries
3. Become dictator after consolidating power.
Next will be wide scale aggression and abuses of human rights

This is news? I remember 30 years ago watching the Swamp Skunks and their lobbyists making trade deals with China and selling the US industrial/manufacturing base down the proverbial river for the almighty dollar. Myself and many of my friends said the US is going to regret this someday, well someday is here.

I would be highly disappointed if this is some kind of a shock to the joint chiefs and President. Who did not see China building up their military, and quickly?
This smells like a "please give us funding!" report.

This has been done by the military for years, from Field and Company commands all the way through to Flag Staff. Always bemoan the fact that your dramatically under equipped, under manned to the point of doom, and you'll get your funding. Military just got a big fat check, and everyone is maneuvering for their carve out.

The biggest step they’ve taken in my lifetime is when Bill Clinton allowed their spies to waltz into our skunkworks facilities and steal all of our ICBM technology. That gave them the knowledge they needed to become a world power. Then NAFTA gave them the economic means to put that knowledge to practical use.
Theme of the story is: China is a beast we helped create.
Now, Hillary sold our biggest uranium mines to Russia, and Barry hand-delivered BILLIONS in cash to our peaceful Islam brothers who are the most immediate threat to our security. Meanwhile, CNN and MSNBC are trying to justify libs push in taking civilians’ best way to defend themselves.
Sounds like a joke if it wasn’t all too real... that shiver in our spine and knot in our stomach is the direct result of liberalism and “social justice” cancer in our country.... all brought to you courtesy of the “Democratic” party, folks.
Get woke, America. And thank God for Trump and people like him. They ain’t perfect, but they’re a far sight better than what we’ve had recently.
