    Translation: Non-western countries aren’t allowed to rival us.

  2. Oh wow well maybe fucking stop pulling out your investors out of my country? Now that you’re alarmed by China and its growing influence, that shouldn’t be too hard.

  3. The Chinese naval buildup is impressive but it is a force primarily designed to fight a conflict in the south china sea and taiwan strait. It has little logistical reach or long range force projection.

    It does however have a lot of offensive firepower and low cost expendable surface action vessels. In submersibles it is least a generation behind the west, maybe two in some areas.
