The People’s Republic plans to spend the equivalent of about $202 billion on defence in fiscal year 2021. In recent years, the country has developed and produced off a range of advanced missile systems, aircraft and warships.
Outgoing NATO Military Coordination Committee chairman Stuart Peach, the alliance’s most senior military officer, has expressed concern over what he referred to as the “shocking” speed of China’s military modernization efforts, and its growing diplomatic heft overseas to boot.
“It is quite shocking how quickly China has built ships, how much China has modernized its air force, how much it has invested in cyber and other forms of information management, not least facial recognition,” Peach said, speaking to the Financial Times ahead of his departure from his post Friday.
The officer also pointed to Beijing’s network of “large embassy footprints” in countries around the world, saying many of them are now staffed with “very large defence sections, often populated by general officers,” and wondering “what’s it all for?”

Who made China rich enough to build up Militarily? Right, USA did much. So economically, rather than risk take over, need to Cripple said toys if bluster with threats get the best of them..IMO.
Hopeful CCP shuts up, no one cares, if their toys malfunction like much they mass produced for goods sent to USA over the years, most likely, not concerned about their bragging; They have gone too far with virus, meddling everywhere spreading Communism, stealing technology, IMO!
Let them keep showcasing, they will mess up, and be put on notice, predict!
First they better fix their dams, help their people, and stop wanting to stir the pot, USA has their number~yes, Biden's a clown puppet, but he does not represent all within layers of USA Military Might, in my opinion!
