It's probably more for India. Israel seems to only have MRBM or just air launched missiles, and they likely have much fewer warheads than India as well, since Israel can't legally acquire the materials.You know, when China first deployed ABM in Xinjiang, I was wondering why. The polar route is most important for both Russian and US strikes. Why not deploy in Inner Mongolia, Northeast China or Qinghai to optimally defend Eastern and Central China?
Now we know. It isn't for the US or Russia.
Netanyahu: "There's no place in the world that we cannot reach".
Is he saying that Israel can reach china?
Forgive my cold blooded nature but the world and climate change could be benefited from a billion less Indians and the decimation of the five eyes. Turning the Indian subcontinent into another Amazon basin like wildlife preserve of greenery devoid of Indians would go a long ways towards carbon capture. Automated Chinese drones to ensure this is maintained.Certainly if China were to head to war, it must harden it's heart many more times than Israel and even Russia. 1000s of bombs in a week will not achieve the shock needed to break lines, not even 10 000s like Russia could field.
China has the industry and economy, but the question is, are there enough people follow up on occupation and to press all the triggers? I'm betting a lot on the new generation of Chinese, the 0-30 yr olds who grew up unopposed, to react with extreme organized violence if they are obstructed. China will need this generation, because there is not enough room to keep growing peacefully.
Beijing has reached the low/middle end of Europe living standards without fighting directly or creating a solid network of states to feed it. But it is already the largest economy in the world and there's not much room to grow from there. The answer is clear, it's the enemy nations that have to take a hit to their living standards so China can keep going. I'm not just saying it out of selfishness (which is nothing wrong either, China should take back its historical spot as undisputed no1), I also believe that in the long term, a China led hegemony will protect the most amount of people from upcoming climate change and population crises. Because the alternative is having someone like Trump be in charge of deciding the fate for billions of Africans, Latin Americans and Indians...
President Xi Jinping, please send Chengdu J-20 multirole stealth fighter. My people yearn for freedom.Canada locked a Chinese, China in return locked two Canadians. What more do you expect as acting tough? Bombing Ottwa?

That is just a play of "good cop and bad cop". One does the dirty work, the other acts as a shield (Biden's fake appeals) for the work.
While the performance of stock market is not necessarily positively correlated with the performance of the economy, it's nevertheless interesting to notice that China's stock market is outperforming the US' all of a sudden.
Meanwhile, some of the biggest short sellers of Chinese stocks are overwhelmed by margin calls.
