China's Communist Congress.

Well China's leader Xi who has consolidated power under his anti-corruption platform has gone and made the statement saying...."CHINA CAN DEFEAT ANY ENEMY IN A WAR!!"

That simply is not true.

The problem China has is that it has absolutely ZERO FORCE PROJECTION CAPABILITY.

And I mean ZERO....NONE!!!

The Chinese do have a very large army but the vast majority of the Chinese army is poorly equipped and poorly led.

As well China's Military is set basically only for homeland defense,

Say in the event China attempted to invade Taiwan all Chinese Troop Carrying Ships would be EASILY blown out of the water by the U.S. Navy and Air Force.

We would destroy every surface and sub ship as well as every single Chinese port and military base along the coast.

Chinese boast as basically limited to their assumption they could defeat any INVADER of China.

But after all who the HELL want's to invade China?????

The United States certainly has no plans to and neither does Russia.

But the MOMENT that the Chinese Military attempted to use Force Projection upon any target the U.S. Military would devastate the Chinese Fleet in a way they never could even begin to right now understand.

Does the USA have the Chinese buying up property like they are in Sydney?

They are very smart and have lots of money to spend.

Well Xi plans to 'reform' China and Wang Qishan is out. What now?

Xi says that he plans to make China more open and considers China an economic superpower and peer of the US. Can't help but be sceptical

What the hell is this all about???

US officials have blasted China for staging mock nuclear attack runs on its major Pacific military facilities ahead of a visit by President Trump to Asia.

PRACTICE bombing runs by Chinese aircraft on US bases in the Pacific is ‘not in China’s interest’, US officials have warned.
The US Defense Department has criticised recent long-range test flights of Beijing’s H-6K bombers into waters surrounding its Pacific territories of Guam and Hawaii.

The latest flight came just days before US President Donald Trump embarked on his tour of Asia — including China.
Officials told a briefing of journalists travelling with US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford that the nuclear capable bombers had been conducting ‘not infrequent’ flights near the strategic mid-Pacific naval and air force facilities.

They had also been observed practising ‘attacks on Guam’.

This has US defence officials taking notice.
