      The statement criticised what it called Beijing’s “provocative” behaviour in the South and East China Seas, joint military exercises with Russia and the rapid expansion of its nuclear weapons arsenal.

      Pretty easy to read between the lines on this one. Neither side needs to mention Taiwan in order to know what this is really about.

        I meant by funding. Raw people power does not matter as much in modern warfare.

            Have you heard of the military bases that the US has all around the world? Obviously not.

              I have not only heard I have seen them. Chinese have the largest military by man power and the largest navy by number of ships in the world.

                You keep trying to dance around the issue of how much the US projects their power across the entire world. Imagine if the headline was “China upgrades military command in Cuba, warns of US threats”.

                  Your reading comprehension is poor. I made zero point about US power. You keep deflecting the issue of your basic error and minimizing the Chinese aggression against its neighbors. Issue is Chinese expansion and aggression in South China Sea, in the straits of Taiwan and Sea of Japan, and how it’s neighbors are now banding together to prepare for this aggression. Your masters the Chinese are dumb because by making threatening gestures towards its neighbors it’s brought this all on to themselves. They really haven’t been smart, if you can think about. But you are a low level worker at a troll farm, and incapable of thinking.
