The watching world saw a significant display of diplomatic unity in Beijing today, as China's Xi Jinping, Russia's Vladimir Putin, and North Korea's Kim Jong Un met in public for the first time. Alongside a vast military parade marking 80 years since the country's victory over Japan in World War Two, the meeting formed part of a day of statements for Chinese President Xi Jinping. Crowds of over 50,000 in Tiananmen Square witnessed laser weapons, nuclear ballistic missiles, and even robotic wolves - a display that will now be heavily scrutinized by Western defense officials, our security correspondent writes.
Trump also criticised Putin and Kim for conspiring against his country. "Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America. "May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration."

Apple's deep manufacturing presence in China involved a significant transfer of technological expertise, which helped fuel China's rise as a global tech powerhouse.

This is true ... now the Chinese are surpassing Apple. We had trouble with the ICE, so went straight to EV. Now no one can match China's capabilties.

So I'm betting most of this is junk.

In China we can build hundreds of large container ships a year. The US can barely build 1. China can build 10 warships a year, the US can't produce 1 in a decade.
Ooooh, day so SCAAIWEEE!

Its all fun and games in Montana isn't it, until you realize the US carriers are pretty much sitting ducks to hypersonic missiles.
AFAICT the US can't build anything anymore, from HSR, ships, to weapon systems ...

Sure, the Chinese parade of hardware makes them look good but can they really work and can their militaries work together in a concerted coordinated manner the way our services do? Their joke of a coast guard and navy apparently cannot as they crashed into each other in their evil greedy attempts at bullying the Filipinos. www.youtube.com
Btw how did that pier in Gaza work out?
Never heard did you?
That's because Biden lied and men died.

LOL Did you see what Iran threw at Israel? Those weren't even fast.

The problem, you see is that China can saturate the carriers defenses, just like Iran did to Israel. F-14's were designed to shoot down Russian bombers before they could launch. The range of the F-14 was a deterrent.
Today the F-35, F-18 range?? Less, much less. Why? We all know why. They are built for multi-role, which is for operations where there is no fighting peer. In the South China Sea its a sitting duck.
Keep swinging.
