I slept too late yesterday, and my biological clock has made my wake-up time a regular one. I have things to do in the morning, so I'm not going back to bed, so I might as well take advantage of this time to talk more.
Your personal schedule is not necessary or interesting. This is a forum and it's understood that people log in whenever they want.
The emergence of good things will praise the whole, the emergence of bad things will be treated differently, which in my opinion is undoubtedly a double standard.The fortunate thing about this incident is that it got enough exposure, but I don't know if the mistake will be corrected, after all, this is a tens of billions of debt crisis.
No, it's not a double standard, it's common sense. The person/entity who did it is at fault; is that too difficult a concept for you? In a police department where there are 20 officers and a chief, if they maintain the city at peace, they and the chief are all to be commended. If one of them went crazy and murdered someone, then he is to be jailed and executed, NOT HIS WHOLE TEAM.
Sir, I don't want to make a personal attack,but these words are just too generic and useless.
Saying my post isn't funny when it obviously wasn't trying to be is generic and useless.
People need to live and support their families,this matter is not a great contribution and sacrifice,this is a vicious economic crime of illegal misappropriation of deposits.
With 400,000 victims in just one region, what kind of disaster would it be if there were a nationwide outbreak?What rhetoric can you use to convince these people to give up their property？
Blame the local government, not the central government that prohibited it. You are like a mad dog that bites everything.
Optimism is necessary, but this year it's really important to stay vigilant.This place is not suitable for too much discussion of such non-military related topics，
You keep saying that but you keep replying and you started the topic. Know what irony is?
but I think it's important to remind those who envision their strategies with positive optimism in mind:The reason China failed to take military action was not to wait for a better time,simply because they are stuck in a quagmire of internal governance that they cannot extricate themselves from.
Take military action against the ROC? They have the power to do it today, but it gets better every day. So if they don't push for it now, why not wait?
I'd like to say more about military affairs.
When you look back at history, you will be surprised by the condition of the army.
In the most dangerous 1990s, China's nuclear weapons deterrent capability could be completely ignored,the most important DF-5 missile is limited by funding and its performance is not stable.
If SSBN with only symbolic meaning is not considered,so the worst estimate is that nuclear missiles with deterrent capability are only in single digits.
Secrecy saved China,but soon a lot of key information was revealed to the Americans by the traitors, and the most significant loss was that the initial design of the DF-31 was scrapped because of the leak.
The lack of military action in 1996 was undoubtedly correct, but it became an important basis for the subsequent arrogant provocations of the Taiwanese independence faction: they think that the CPC would not dare to act at all!
This is not relevent to today. China is ready today, not in 1996.
Trump is arrogant and aggressive towards China，but he treats Putin with deference.
There is a political pull to this, but I like his straightforwardness: The United States will only negotiate with adversaries capable of destroying the United States（I've forgotten the source of the original quote, but only the general meaning）
Nuclear deterrence is the most important bottom card to solve the Taiwan issue, which is well known to everyone.We all know very well what those "wind turbines" in the desert really are.
No problem, but you are stating the obvious that China must have an excellent nuclear deterrent. Also, Trump is racist and he has a white power fantasy and Russia is actually a pure white power unlike the US. That's why Ivanka's name is Slavic.
But another unseen danger is masked by propaganda：Political Corruption.
Before punishing Guo and Xu, two senior military officials, we knew nothing about the severity of the corrosion of the army.
Officials tout our military's ability to defend our national interests, but the facts revealed are alarming.
Selling off military jobs and making training a formality to avoid risk，it was not until the fall of two generals that people within the military dared to speak the truth that they had not dared to disclose in the past.
Catch problems and fix them, which is the CCP improving. This is awesome that it was found out, the corruption rooted, and fixed. Of course it because public after it was finished; did you expect the military to leak news to the media about these issues while they were still being discovered?
The US found that there are people working at NORAD who cheated on their tests and don't know how to launch nukes if given the orders. Same thing, found out and I assume fixed but the US sucks at fixing things so the confidence is much lower there.
The final military reforms cut off the military from economic activities and put an end to the history of commercial activities by the military.
Decisions made in the 1980s ended up taking us almost 20 years to clean up the situation.
2000 China was an insect compared to 2022 China, and the US isn't even there yet regarding decommercializing its military.
Before the reform, General Jin Yi Nan once revealed an amazing fact: the knowledge level of senior generals in the early 21st century was ridiculously deficient, and they lacked the most basic vigilance to the external environment.
As you can see from the text（Page 3）, these generals do not know why the wings of carrier based aircraft are folded, nor can they tell the difference between APC and IFV!
So we're complaining about the past full throttle now? LOL You can put all of your posts together to show how fast China and the PLA has grown.
I was young at the time, and the rampant independence movement in Taiwan was at its peak.PLA is one of the few groups we can trust,General Zhang Zhaozhong once showed a high degree of alertness to the situation in an interview，but many people just look at him as a meme.
This is a thought-provoking article, General Zhang has an extremely sober understanding of the situation.
We can trust the people's army, but it's hard to say whether the rest of the people are so sober and vigilant.Many of the problems that exist today also stem from this reason.
I was young in 2009 too but I knew and all my Chinese college friends knew, it was to take the ROC or die trying. I don't see the possibility of failure with a trustworthy PLA and a capable nuclear deterrent... and definitely not with a determined Chinese population.
Today the building of military forces has reached a satisfactory point,
Thanks for acknowledging the PLA's progress but they are satisfied with nothing, which is why China's military is the fastest-expanding one in the world.
the U.S. can no longer maintain the so-called "balance" by selling weapons, but today's arms sales are still a strong act of provocation.
Well, you know, China's gotten so strong now that every US election is about "What are you gonna do about China?"
But looking back, I have to think so: many problems were cleverly covered up by the propaganda that.Defense is very vulnerable for a long time.
There is a joke widely spread: use me in the first battle and bear the consequences（首战用我，后果自负）
It's good to learn a little bit about the military, he can make me realize how dangerous the past is and how harsh the reality is underneath the propaganda that was once spoken so loudly.
Cool recap of the past but I'm not sure what that was supposed to contribute to a conversation about China's modern strategy in Taiwan which you derailed into your political complaints about the CCP while acknowledging that every other government sucks more.
I've read your other complaints and I can simply say this again: it's all comparative. Nobody can be perfect but one can be the best and that is the CCP. You're not satisfied with that, so the world is your food court; go eat wherever you want. But it's poor manner to keep eating at the Chinese restaurant serving you the best food in the world while complaining incessantly that it all tastes like shit while all other food tastes like super shit and ultra shit.
