David Axe is like Gordan Chang. He's just a cheerleader for those who only want to hear how the enemy is inferior. People don't care how they end up always being wrong. It amazes me how in this day and age still a lot people think if it's written by someone with a "job" writing it, it has to be true. Anyone read the article ringing the alarm bells that the US's closest allies are helping build China's military? All old news from the past made to look like it's a new revelation that no one knows, even the US government, today. Or how about the Reuters article on how China's Beidou GPS satellites were stolen tech from Europe's Galileo. They outright lied about China's involvement making it look like China pushed their way in just to get the tech and then abandoned it with the whole goal to make Beidou leaving Galileo with no money. That's why the Europeans don't have Galileo up and running. The article made no mention how China was screwed when the US pressured Europe on Chinese involvement relegating the Chinese to just paying money while countries that gave no money were getting access the Chinese were being denied.
Thank you for your information, I didn't know that the article's author credibility is suspect, that's why I wondered that he seemed to underestimate PLA a bit too much
