I'm not really sure why you would be weeping? This is a great story about China's determined people and great future. These are demonstrably hard working, hard striving people. Even the kids have these attributes. This story put a smile on my face. For a poor country like China that still...

If the analysis is totally BS and pure fantasy, why would you still respect such an organization? Instead of being politically correct or polite, let's call a spade a spade. StratFor is chock full of neocon right-wing politically motivated ideologues. Some of their analyses contain ideas...

I just found actual PROOF that those so-called secret Chinese nukes that claimed China had upwards of 3000 nuclear warheads, is a hoax just as I've always suspected. Here is the link... Jeffrey Lewis • Collected Thoughts on Phil Karber ...Military analyst Jeffrey Lewis, disputed...

Supposedly, each 052B/C use 2 QC-280s while the proposed 055 would probably use 4 QC-185s. The nominal power rating of each QC-185 is supposedly 18.5MW or around ~80% of the QC-280 (clone of GT25000) which would be enough to power a 9500+ tonne warship. Sounds like a plan.

You make an argument for anti-China forces to fear China as a military threat, even though the reality is, China is not even remotely in the same league as the United States militarily. Japan's navy is far stronger than China's. Even Taiwan's navy would put up a good fight if it weren't for...

Where did you get your information concerning the Type 055 DDG? Those are bold claims considering details of the 052D still aren't known despite construction having started.

You obviously haven't watched the movie "300" about the ancient Spartans who with 300 super warrior Spartans were able to fend off hundreds of thousands of invaders from the thousand nations of the Persian Empire! :)

Too many imaginary platforms here. Until this carrier has operational aircraft, it's strictly a test platform. Same story goes for the Type 55?, Type 97/98 sub?

Accurate data is needed to simulate your models. This is why nuclear weapons testing and wind tunnels are absolutely essential. China is far behind in these aspects despite it's impressive strides. You're mistaken concerning aircraft engine parts. These sorts of hydraulic presses are used...

You have quite the ego considering the plethora of military forums and Wikipedia. LOL I think stealth-IER is the keyword. Almost every fighter nowadays, whether it has single or twin vertical stabilizers, is given some design effort with LO in mind even though they are not...aka the J-10B...

"Flanker" is simply the name given to Russian fighters mostly evolved from the SU-27 family.

It may feel good to dismiss Japanese trade dominance but it doesn't change facts. Yes, German cars are very popular in China just like Japanese cars. Are you disputing that Toyota didn't sell almost 1 million cars in China in 2011? Are you disputing that Japan is the largest exporter of...

If Chinese hate Japanese so much, how come Japanese cars and Japanese products of all kinds so popular in China? Every profit earned by a Japanese company in China goes towards strengthening the Japanese nation and Japanese military. Those Chinese who talk about boycotting Japanese products...

Where did this supposed insider information come from exactly? I often hear of such "insider" information and 99.8% of the time, it's repeated from rumours spread by certain Chinese bbses, which are usually simply personal speculations.

I'm gone for the whole summer and one of the first things I read is the aforementioned nonsense which incredibly is still going on! LOL My vote would be to call it the "Peng". Very nice surprise after a long vacation.
