All I can say is **** these ****s. If they want a fight then I'm pretty sure there are plenty of Aussies and Kiwis who will give them one including me.

I won't bend the knee or kiss the ring for the queen who is our actual monarch and I sure as **** won't do it for Xi Pindick.

China has been called out for what they are in the last few years with their aggressive expansion push in the South China sea, they have stepped up pressure on Taiwan & Hong Kong for dominance and have started Trade wars with USA and now with Australia.
Think the world is well aware of China intention to be a super power.

Nuclear fusion, weather modification, AI, space exploration, bio engineering....all coming. Question is, who will see it as a threat and who will see it as opportunities?

Quite a few of the bio engineering efforts are being co-researched by US and China There was a doco on ABC this afternoon on artificial muscle (sponsored by US, China and Sth Korea). 40 times stronger than normal muscle. What military uses might it bring? hmmmm

struck a nerve, not really, just signalling western ignorance of how they are progressing

two responses makes you feel good yeah, cool. Jerk off on that

To think nothing they say is true is 'unreal', some info of course is 'exaggerated' but what's your qualifications on calling 'BS' ? None is my guess
Show us something that supports your opinion

My stupid question of the day is how much food does China rely on to be imported from other countries to feed its population?
Example are they self supported or do they rely on 50% of food from external countries to be imported.
The answer to this will reveal how much power they really have.

What about this one from Reuters?

The China Challenge
https://www.reuters.com/investigates...on/china-army/

Came across this when looking at news of missiles and rockets being purchased. I've only read the rocket chapter. Interesting but scary at the same time. Would also be good to know when this analysis was done, so we can have a guess how much may have progressed.

your laying it on a bit thick, aren't you. the covid and the usa elections will be sorted out in the coming weeks, china should watch out, because the world has NOT forgotten chinas behavior through out all of this.

I have been told (here) and agree that this website is 'don't believe everything you read there' but I did see it in a lot of other locations (websites including science and not china based)
Granted, they may also be listening to the careful messaging but I'm not sure we can forever dismiss their ambitious research.

We talk here also about their sub-standard quality, Japan was there when I was young, now their 'stuff' is top notch.

Is this tech thought to be complete BS or 'yes it started, looks impressive but doesn't perform as reported'

I thought they have hypersonic missiles (like Russia), why is the West playing catch up with this tech ?

I think its a valid question.
Are you afraid of them ?
What they can do ?
Because we're minnows or something compared to them.
Or you enjoy playing devils advocate and using smilys/slap on faces/raised eyebrows etc...
You seem to jump on whatever article as if whatevers reported might happen but its the reporters pov unless we know for sure its fact and in the end that we should look out or bend the knee and negotiate to keep the peace or let them have what they want no matter how they treat us.
OR is it just your way you communicate period on and off forums.

Wow, so many people easily triggered today. Anyways, if you makes you feel better, carry on with the McCarthyism....

Put it this way. What I do day to day might just be to protect some of your (our) assets from foreign "bad actors". there's another one.

Chill. Life is good.

I didn't bring up anything with a history question.
I asked a question but your approach is to puzzle/riddle/r.
Straight is not that hard.

Answer was given straight after Pis-ton asked the first time. Look it up. This is not the first time he has played these games. Or are you guys trying to ask the same question over and over again trying to stoke a different answer? In which case, whats the agenda?

Newsflash, this thread was started to talk about their ambition. Stop having a hissy fit every time someone does just that . Get over it.

Glad you agree life is good. The luxuries paid for by the lovely trade surplus.

cheeez another strange response.
No agenda on my part just trying to see some clairty.
Hissy point and getting over it - how do you read that, baffling.
Gawd what a last sentence, smugness is not a endearing attribute the way I'm reading that.
Wish I could see it another way.
