The Chinese army has begun to equip 155-mm self-propelled howitzers PLZ-05, anti-drone protection called "Mangal". As protection, mesh screens are installed on top and on the sides of the self-propelled guns. This type of protection against drones is used by the Russian and Ukrainian armies and several other countries. The first self-propelled guns with such protection were noticed during artillery exercises of the ground forces of the Western Command of the Chinese army. The protection against drones was installed in response to the appearance of army units in India using drones. The PLZ-05 self-propelled gun was accepted into service in 2007 and is equipped with an automatic gun loading system created on the basis of the Russian self-propelled gun "Msta-S". The firing range of the PLZ-05 self-propelled gun with WS-35 ammunition is up to 100 km, it is worth noting, this is questioned by experts, the barrel length is 54 calibers.
Footage has been published of Russian Su-35S fighter jets escorting the plane of Chinese President Xi Jinping as it approached Kazan. Let me remind you that Xi Jinping arrived in Kazan to participate in the BRICS summit. Guided by the tradition of welcoming high-ranking guests, Russian Air Force fighter jets met and escorted the plane of the Chinese leader to the Kazan airport
Xi Jinping Has Further Boosted the Military-Industrial Group of China
An article on the rise of leaders of the defense industry group to the highest positions in the PRC. It also analyzes the possible creation of an internal faction of this group within the Chinese bureaucracy.There is another article on another website about the same subject, but the website is somewhat critical but offers an analysis of the rise of this group.
Much of this article consists of confabulations.
Sources for many extraordinary claims are absent or misleading.
Just a few random examples:
"Huge financial inputs to these sectors have produced rampant corruption" [based on source?]
"despite attempts to attract foreign investment that have been highlighted in both the leaders’ speeches and state media, the state has continued to raid or shut down foreign businesses to protect so-called state security.[2]"
[It would be less unclear to simply report on the objective amount of foreign investment. "Raid or shut down" (is a strange word choice, but also what the author is seeing here may be an overintepretation of normal events, there is no statistic showing it is a significant increase]
I'm not in the same field as the author but generally speaking, the article is almost unreadable due to these severe and common flaws.
As I said, the second article is from a website that is extremely critical of the PRC and Xi.
Now, as for your first argument, the first statement doesn't even need any source, if you don't ignore the huge corrupt bureaucracy within China's defense industry when there have been thousands of purges so far since Xi's rise, that is more than enough proof for this claim.
If it is meant as an article and not just a random post by some insane nationalist then some rigor is expected no matter how "critical" an author is. Otherwise we can also call the ramblings of gunther fehlinger or some random vatnik as articles.
Yes it does need a source, as its an extreme claim that contradicts known findings.
Statistically speaking China has one of the best state investment -> product/infrastructure return, especially in the military industrial complex. In addition, other data points such as from public reports about corruption/lobbying prosecution all point towards a minor/non existent impact on China's military industry.
Why are you defending an author that has such grossly incorrect methodology??
Absurd statement. What do you mean by "purges", this is not correct terminology when talking about criminal statistics.
You and the author both grossly overintepretate non-significant details. 1000s of charges were filed over corruption during Xi's tenure, that's a fact. But is the amount of corruption and the number of people charged significant relative to other countries? Is there a source showing impact or the lack of impact from these 1000s of arrests, which would make them significant compared to normal legal activity?
All of those questions must be answered before a bombshell hypothesis that contradicts known facts gets dropped.
What you're saying is essentially like:
"there has been millions of (to borrow your quite unprofessional language) purges since Biden's rise, that is more than enough proof that the prison industrial complex is the huge contributor of US economy"
There is only a small kernel of fact, then a lot of confabulation and distortion, followed by a bombshell assumption that has no basis in reality, backed up with no source or even hypothesis.
There will be corruption anywhere money and power pass through. But the Chinese MIC delivers products and at a fraction of the price of the US MIC. And yet you do not see customary mentions of that with every single article that is written about something.
The rigor is explored: the rise of industrial leaders in the defense sector. You seem to have ignored this and started to ignore the entire content just because you read the first paragraph that you didn't like. As I said, the article offers the analysis of the rise of this new rising group in the PRC.
In other words, now changing the positioning of the undeniable evidence of corruption in the defense industry in China to "efficiency in the return/benefit of the defense industry". It does not change the positioning of the author, who claimed in the aforementioned sentence that the resources directed evidently ended up with rampant corruption, and this is validated by the several purges of the PRC military leadership since 2012. This is far from an extreme claim. The benefits of rising military power and modernization are obvious, but there is still the problem of corruption in the military bureaucracy, even if your denialism does not allow you to confirm this, it is still a problem that Xi and the top leadership are addressing.
Purging or purging is the process of purging, expelling or eliminating something, in the sense of getting rid of a problem and putting out an object with a negative connotation. Do you have any problem with the term? Or is it not to your liking either?
Why is there any need to make comparisons with other countries? The fact that other countries have corruption at the same or higher rates is irrelevant to the case here, since we are talking about the PRC. The real notoriety of the statement is that Xi has made eradicating corruption a hallmark of his government since 2012, and recent campaigns suggest that this problem is far from over, a problem that began to be addressed when Caihou and Boxiong were accused of corruption and , and since then, Xi has still far from solving corruption within the PLA.
Dude, this isn't even a comparable analogy that I even refuse to comment on haha
The fact is that it has a basis and the evidence has been accumulating for more than 12 years.
