I went down a Chinese military rabbit hole a while back. None of this is good. I'll let people do their own research. Last time I tried to point out how fucked the US actually would be in a war with China (we'd lose within a day) I just got shat on as some kinda pro china shill or something. Just repeating stuff I read in books, look into it if you like. They'll destroy our ability to go to war before we can even engage them.
