I spoke with a family member who is a pilot in the USAF… He deploys to africa dealing al shabaab but he knew the guys on the Venezuela mission. I told him I was surprised at the complete lack of anti-aircraft defense on the videos… he just smirked and said “we just turn those off”

That people put way too much stock in the idea that the Chinese have ambitions to take over the world.

Wow,

Im proud of you J, actually speaking on subject like an adult. Didn't know you had it in you.

China is only worried about China at this point, as they should be. Better not try them tho.

We can do that from up to 256 miles away with a single DDG, too

All we need is the type of system, and our "measures" can do the rest

They definitely do, but clearly their economic warfare plans only get them so far.

Also China makes fricking nothing, technologically

They are the best reverse engineers in the world.

Every military system they have is just a version of somebody else's shite

It is with very little airlift capability and no real deep water shipping in the Chinese Navy.

I guess he thinks the Chinese Army should roll west through the Indian subcontinent to Iran's rescue...

China doesn’t care about Venezuela or Iran

They are playing the long game, waiting to release the bioweapons they already have stashed all over the country.

I mean, historically, China has not been able to project power West, and rather focused in Southeast Asia. South Asia has been the usual source of interaction with an Iranian state, as South Asian culture was heavily influenced by Persian culture. Chinese overtures to new regions is relatively new and they just don’t have the sort of infrastructure to project political power in those directions. Their own sphere of influence is at stake as well, which means they have far fewer resources for other areas, except money.

Not only is none of that remotely accurate

Semi conductors
Is not only inaccurate, but laughably absurd

Their inability to make functional semiconductors remains the reason they can't invade Taiwan. If the Taiwanese just left the factories, China would be at a total loss. Complete lack of skilled labor.
