The US now worried about China having an unusual LHA assault ship with a catapult system. What happened to all the bragging of Japan's LHA secretly doubling as an aircraft carrier for Japanese F-35s? Or how about all that bragging that the US can easily take out China's aircraft carriers. What makes this so scary for the US? It called American psychological paranoia. The Republicans want the US to treat China like how Reagan did with the Soviet Union where it couldn't keep up with the US military where it went bankrupt. Well China does have to spend money on its military in order for that to happen.
There was discussion earlier of pro-Taiwan advocating committing mass murder on Chinese civilians. They don't think China can do that to them in retaliation? I'm not surprised that the other side gets to taunt that because like this forum where some don't like Chinese taunting returning the favor. The Chinese have to take the high road... The pro-Taiwan side doesn't think about the repercussions of those actions. Does Jimmy Lai think about it when he wants the US to nuke China for Hong Kong? I wouldn't mind turning Taiwan into what Israel is doing to Gaza. Is that too much of a response compared to what Hamas did on Oct 7th? Just talk like that and they'll think twice. Talk as if their lives are worthless as they make the Chinese. Is that so hard to do?
The US is paranoid over Chinese robot dogs with assault rifles on their backs. When you look at it realistically, yeah they're dangerous, but not more dangerous than just having someone holding an assault rifle. A person has better field of view and is more nimble. A robot dog does not. The technology is still nowhere near their imaginations. So why are they worried? It's their psychological nightmares going out of control. That's why China should do other things real or fake and advertise them. They should have drones with cutting blades chopping off the heads of people as they fly by. And the kicker is to have a demonstration dummy dressed in, not military clothing, but in civilian. Gotta get those Taiwanese civilians peeing in their skirts too. Stuff like that.
