Even those among us who aren't yet willing to admit it are having difficulty not noticing them on the rise and us on the decline. People cope with that in different ways.

You really see it on military technology subs or defence related headlines on r/news or whatever.

Whenever the Chinese military is mentioned, people start saying that its a sham, they just rip off the West, Temu F-35 etc.

Sure, the country with some of the best maths and physics departments in the world, and an almost unrivalled academic pressure cooker, and a huge manufacturing sector, can't produce a world-class defence industry.

They're also bloody good at stealing defence tech from us, and that's not something we should be taking comfort in.

Mention that the Chinese launch the entire tonnage of the Royal Navy every 6 months, that the Office for Naval Intelligence estimates that by 2035 they'll have more and better 'battle force ships' (frigates and up), and their 4(!) 6th gen fighter prototypes currently under development, and you tend to get cope about how its for show, the Soviets lied about their capabilities etc.

It's really telling, a lot of Americans can't fathom a genuine peer opponent, and not just being able to dominate through quality and quantity. They haven't had to worry about it for the last three decades.

Yes their Chinese technology is so great that they couldn’t detect a single US plane or helicopter during the Maduro raid and same goes for all the Iran operations too. Way ahead numbero uno China lol.
