Reply to comment by Timbershoe in China is now using advanced 3D-printing tech in its warplanes by Gari_305

It's readily obvious that the Chinese military is incapable of any large scale offensives. It hasn't invested into the massive scale logistics required for such a task and its military procurement is focused on increasing its technology base rather than deployment.

There's constantly stories about this new Chinese weapon or that new Chinese weapon, but how many of these new weapons do they actually buy? Compare how many J-20s China has to how many F-35s the US is buying and you have your answer.

Not to mention every now and then the PLA actually gets deployed for disaster relief and so far its been a logistical shit show. They couldn't even feed their troops and the troops had to rely on locals for food.

You make the mistake of thinking military might is judged on the willingness to invade other countries and show what you have and profiteering off selling weapons that you make for yourselves to other countries. China dosn't do that as far as I know. It doesn't mean they don't make them, they maybe just keep them. THEY DONT GET INVOLVED IN THE UNSAVOURY BUISNESSES OF PROFITEERING FROM WAR. Unlike USA, France and the UK who have it as possibly one of the most profitable economic investments. It's just Dumb with a capital D to judge the capability of China from the blinkered standpoint of a western cultural value system. DUMB!

I learned today that the USA tested nuclear bombs on the bikini Islands after the war at a rate of one a day for 12 years. Do the math. Kinda makes me wonder what the countries that weren't causing the global warming shitshow we have today we're doing since 1946 in regards of technology and advancing weapons. Just cos you haven't seen them dosnt mean they don't exist. Not all country's are so keen to be warmongers and display there shit like ... Well... The west.
