i hate communists for different reasons but the way china is doing, is no match to any country. literally then r doing miracle every day, be it infrastructure, economics, defence. we indians should not behave like a typical pakistani/muslim ignorant . this is not my inferiority complex but we should realize the facts in order to take off things. china actually racing to cross USA
I don't think thats it. China has done some pretty amazing things recently. But the flaws are not what we are seeing or not to be seen. PLA fanboys like to boast, but have a lacking sense of reality. Indians OTOH now for the most part where they stand thanks to channels to public and parliament, India has transparency, China does not. PLA fanboys like to cook up stories or details from their analysis more often than a pundit. I remember 15 years ago the Type 52C was said to be soo capable, it has AESA or supersonic long range missiles. Turns out, China was lacking in short range air defense missiles and proper radars. Not to mention the ASW assets. We have a China suddenly mass producing 5 generation fighters. Is that believable? Think about it.
J-20 Supercruise? nope
AESA yep
Stealth maybe not so great
Agility, hell no
5 gen yes from PLA fanboys.
same with J-31. Under-powered, chicken.
PLA knows its weakness, thats why they get the numbers. PLA fanboys can't seem to figure this out. On top of that, Indian MOD isn't running around making super fast purchases of aircrafts and bombs are they?
They did when Pakistan and India were under tense situations, but you don't see them worried.
Remember the DF-41 anti ship ballistic missile? Turns out Soviets did this before them. Actually had them in SSBNs. Turns out India also played around with the same concept and thats why India has the K-14. China isn't as powerful as they seem, in terms of quality. They do have money, but not as much as they and we would assume. Seeing as they are not providing AID to pakistan. Uncle SAM did.
So CCP, I don't like their way of governance. And I sure don't see their advantage of governance either. They can make decisions quick, but when something like that happens, misfortune tends to follow. Case in point Note ban.
