Yup, most countries that cares more about the idea of winning than actually winning.

Thanks for the read. I think that it'd be more to the point that the US military can't stop and face realities. If any admiral or general were to come out and say that fighting a war in the Western Pacific is impossible and unwise, the whole system falls apart. And so if the system in place makes it career suicide to say the truth, who is ever going to stick their head out?
Your first point is correct, but it doesn't have much to do with the second. That part is all about "experts" making a living out of telling people what they want to hear. Technically speaking, China isn't that special in this, except that this narrative is really falling apart right now.
A decent paper on PLA systems confrontation in various geographies, neither amazing nor awful. Not particularly notable, except for the fact that it was written by none other than the same Collin Koh who spends his free time talking a lot of shit on twitter.
I'm more disappointed than anything. If you can write papers of reasonable quality, why spew out garbage on a daily basis?

The Eastern Theater Command Army Releases Original Military Camp Composition "Planting the Banner of Victory on the Precious Island"
On September 13, the WeChat public account "People's Frontline" of the Eastern Theater Command Army released an original military camp song titled "Planting the Banner of Victory on the Treasure Island."
The article states that powerful melodies resonate, missions spur us onward, and we express our aspirations through song and our emotions through music. We infuse the conviction to strengthen our military into the rhythmic melodies, cultivate courage and resolve through song, ignite martial prowess and capabilities with solemn vows, and rally the strength to overcome challenges through the clarion call.
The lyrics were written by Zeng Guang, and the music was composed by Yin Qianwen.
Ah, Collin Koh - issue of internalised racism/inferiority complex notwithstanding, I can offer an analogy to his way of thinking. He's like a gambler who went all-in on the continued dominance and hegemony of the US. He can't unmake his bets so he has to lash out.
Tien Kung 4 turned out to be a high-explosive fragmentation warhead, ABM capability is rather mediocre. Basically, considering the relationship between Taiwan, Israel and the United States, the local version of the Arrow-2
This system possesses virtually no intercept capability against the vast number of hypersonic missiles deployed by the PLA.
It can only intercept very outdated variants like the DF-11 and early DF-15 models, as well as the Army's tactical missiles. However, it would clearly struggle to survive long enough to intercept these missiles.
Or, as Shilao put it: TRASH MISSILE
