This Chinese Military Unit Runs One of the World's Largest Missile Forces | WSJ 

And Nato, an alliance against Russia, has encircled Russia nowadays and dares to say, that Russia wasn't provoked and that Nato isn't an threat. Nato isn't an threat, as long as u r an Nato member yourself.

Maybe Russia shouldn't have invaded half of its neighbors. You don't join a defensive alliance for nol reason and Russia has given plenty of reasons: Wars of aggression, civilian massacres, shooting down civilian airliners, bombings of civilians, supplying chemical weapons to dictators. The list is endless. Of course everybody wants to join a defensive alliance against a dictator like Putin who will happily have tens of thousands of civilians murdered for no real reason.@@Dead4ev1

That makes no sense. If that is the case, the U.S. would have already attacked China back when it had a way larger weaponry advantage with that logic, but that never happened. You are manipulating the situation to make it something it isn't. The recent test launches surrounding Taiwan also proves that this is not why China is building launch sites. Duh! Nice try though.

@@Dead4ev1 I remember Russia trying to join NATO, lol. That would've been a funny arrangement, but definitely not realistic.

Why have several generals of the rocket force been sacked and disappeared ? A report that none of their hypersonic rockets had hit any targets obviously had nothing to do with those disappearances. Why didn't the WSJ cover that ?

Because it isn't US that's engaged in military expansion and imperialistic aggression.

It has to do with the current world order. The US has been on top of that world order economically and militarily. Yes, every country has a right to defend itself. There is a reason why the US is considered the world police and invests so much in its military capabilities worldwide. The US is on top, meaning greater political and economic power. It has a vested interest in keeping things the way things are. Ensuring peace not only controls the world order, it allows for economic development and trade that the US can guide and profit from. Its not only the US, but the other wealthy nations. It also relates to the ideology that is followed in the world. China does not follow a Democratic government. It does not venerate individual rights and freedoms that Democracies as institutions are built to do. I would agree that there is argument against the US Democratic institution as well. However, the guiding principals are still in force, where they seem illusory at best in China. The guiding leader of the world matters. While it is beneficial to those in power, it directs the development of other nations around the world as they mimic and adopt best practices in governing - currently Democratic practices. I believe Taiwan follows the same political dogma as the US - Democratic and Capitalist. The US retains its moral authority not through strength alone, but through the support and cultivation of individual rights in other free (Individual rights, Democratic) nations. I admire the ingenuity and adaptation that China has managed in the recent decades. I don't admire their tyranny of government. Taiwan is about more than Taiwan. It likely unlocks the Pacific Ocean for China, which means military and trade power. It is also a battle of ideals on the world stage.

@@combtop As a well informed American I can say you are either extremely naive or a paid troll. We preach democracy but we really only practice tokenism. We have preselected candidates and weed out all those who don't follow the mold. Taiwan is no democracy now nor has it ever been one. Just because you go through the circus of holding election doesn't mean you have any say on what policy takes place. A simple google search and quick read into the state department clearly states in the One China Policy that Taiwan is a part of China, and its up to them to decide with their cross straight relations.

@@combtop do you really think that having only two options placed by corporations to choose from is called democracy? why is so difficult to understand that Chinese citizens don't care about who is in power as long they see how their lives improve every year in contrast to Americans that every day is getting worse. look how Chinese cities look like, how are they connected, and how much services they receive from the government and then compare to Americans and think again about your concept of democracy

​@@davidmoss2576 yeah, people that think america represents democracy and individual rights is out of his mind and ignorant of history. For tge most part of their history, the us government has committed has committed thousands of crimes against the same values they preach.

But those bases have been there for a long time. With the missile tests surrounding Taiwan when Nancy Pelosi visited, those were not aimed at nor for surrounding missile bases, so they aren't for protection like you imply they are.

Agree, why is only china the threat while these other nations have been doing this for decades?

@@kaiserxblue Because the US and UK governments are doing well with international law, and the CCP has proven time and time again that they don't really care about international law, they do the bare minimum to prevent WW3. The US and UK governments work with the world whereas the CCP wants the world to work for it. The CCP is an oppressive regime, and although there is corruption in both the US and UK, there is clear spirit of keeping the government off the backs of civilians. The US isn't without blame, nor is the UK, but the question "why is only china the threat while these other nations have been doing this for decades" is easily answered by how the CCP blatantly walks on a tight rope between peace and WW3 when it comes to world politics.

I think because China has said it plans to 'reunify' Taiwan, through diplomacy 'if possible' but that they will use military means if necessary. Taiwan, based on their most recent election, doesn't want to reunify with China diplomatically anytime soon. China has spent the last 10 years building up its military at an accelerated rate, has told the PLA to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027 if intelligence agencies are to be believed, using cyber warfare to steal secrets to benefit both private businesses as well as the government, and regularly harasses countries and their ships throughout the South China Sea and has done this for 2 decades or more, with it intensifying in recent years. In that context, surely it's not hard to figure out why any country that may possibly be in conflict with China may have concerns about these developments?

The adoption of the One China policy by the United States, a key component of President Richard Nixon's foreign policy, was formalized in the 1972 joint communiqué with the People's Republic of China (PRC). This policy, characterized by its strategic ambiguity regarding Taiwan, marked a significant shift in Sino-American relations. In the communiqué, the United States recognized the Chinese assertion that there is only one China, which includes Taiwan, but did not explicitly endorse this view. Instead, the United States acknowledged it and emphasized its interest in a peaceful resolution to the Taiwan question. Nixon's 1972 visit to China and the ensuing communiqué were crucial in establishing a new phase of engagement between the two nations.

@@josho9910 yes but actually no

I know you shouldn't, but the more years you give China to prepare, i want to sound too arrogant, but they're... "Getting" more things now.

Most of the missile capability of the US does not matter in a Chinese defensive war. So this would be out of context.

Lol

With Trident II D5LE and upcoming Sentinel and LRSO, US has a better strategic edge. Moreso now B-21 Raider begins low rate initial production. What US lacks however is a conventional rocket force. However US too had a formidable one in the 1980s with Pershing II. It’s the 1st ever maneuverable hypersonic ballistic missile. DF-21/YJ-21 are based on the same tech. Pershing II was actually operational for about a decade before being forcefully retired due to the INF Treaty. They wouldn't have this problem if Reagan hadn't signed the said treaty. Regardless they are bringing it back or a derivative of it with US Army’s new LRHW (Long Range Hypersonic Weapon) and USN’s CPS (Conventional Prompt Strike). Both use a common hypersonic glide body (C-HGB) and has reached 2775+km almost doubling the range of older Pershing II and with a terminal speed of Mach 17 as shown on initial 2020 test. There are videos of it on X formerly twitter. US Army received its 1st LRHW prototype battery since October 2021. “Today marks an important milestone in equipping our nation’s first hypersonic battery,” said Lt. Gen. L. Neil Thurgood. A 2nd battery is in the works for 2025 and a 3rd one for 2027. 1st battery is currently deployed at Cape Canaveral to undergo personnel training and field testing though no successful launch yet. It is also light enough to be carried by a C-17 Globemaster. Once landed it can launch its missile similar to M142 HIMARS. Japan already agreed to host them. On the other hand Zumwalt class destroyers already started its modifications this year removing its guns so that it can accommodate a larger VLS able to house CPS. It will also be carried by the upcoming Virginia class Block V subs by 2028.
