danydandan Posted February 1, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) I thought they already had it ready? Edited February 1, 2019 by danydandan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoofGardener Posted February 1, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Hmmm... I'm kinda reminded of all those sci-fi predictions (mostly in comics, it has to be said) from the 1950's, that predicted that - by 1990 - we would all be using flying cars. A functional, militarily useful rail-gun by 2025 ? Methinks the Chinese are dreaming Edited February 1, 2019 by RoofGardener 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What it is is propaganda for the same reason they are now kissing Japan's ass. Their navy and air force in far bigger, far more advance and the constitution now says they can attack.

They stole Japans high speed train tech and keep derailing them yes, but they have plenty of rust buckets to send on a last voyage and 1,6B people. whether they stole a design or not, not that important. ussr copied majority of weapons during ww2 they were just as deadly a sif they developed themselves. china figured no point to spend effort to research if you can steal, or license. it does not make it any less deadly.

You need to read Sun Tzu and about something called "Japanese intelligence skills" and something called a "Shin Shin". Japan doesn't have to sacrifice lives. 11 minutes ago, aztek said: same can be said about Afghanistan, yet we keep trying.

Because Americans aren't following Sun Tzu. japan would not exist today if it was not allied with usa after ww2 and no sun tzu would change that. times changed, 1 missile can wreck havoc in sun tzu tactic. sure some of it still valid, and some no longer is. we've come long way in 2500 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
