I actually respect that guy's knowledge while he is not talking about China. He urgently needs to get rid of his "Russia=China" concept. He fills his every knowledge hole about PLA by copy-pasting the Russian situation to PLA. These two countries simply do not have the same amount of resources.

That happens too often. Russia constantly boasts and exaggerate about their wunderweapons, so China must also do it. Russia always lies, so China must also do it. Russia is corrupt, so China must also be just as corrupt. It also never goes the other way too, Russia is the always the master and China follows. Both countries don't have the same language, don't follow the same religion, have very different governments, different cultural spheres and are generally very different countries but somehow Russia=China. It's so stupid. Is it because Russia borders China, or that because the soviet union is communists while the PRC is also communist?

Canada, America and Britain are all extremely common. They speak the same language, have the same religion and have similar cultures. But suggest that the American military has the same issues or fighting strength as the British/Canadian military, and you will be laughed out of the room.

That's because the west still has the mindset that late 1980s USSR = Russia, and because China is communist like USSR, they must be the same in every way.

So true. Russian propaganda on Oreshnik is ridiculous, painting it out to be the world's best, world's first xyz ... throw in "hypersonic".
In reality Oreshnik is just bundled MaRV on IRBM booster. Something many, many countries have had for over a decade (at least in China's case).
