Not a big fan of China on a lot of things, but why would this be an issue? Realistically if they declare war on anyone it will be the US or someone armed with US military tech so I makes sense to train their army accordingly.
- yesco 5y agoThere are people who think China is not a threat and consequently that continuing our unbalanced economic exchange is a good thing. I suspect part of this that many older people still somehow associate China with poor developing nations despite it being the second largest economy in the world, and one that is becoming increasingly comfortable with flexing it's power overseas. Stuff like this can be a potential wake up call for those people.
- NotACop182 5y agoIt will be the largest economy in the next decade. But with growth comes slow downs and eventually dissatisfaction. People will always crave more eventually.
- bell-cot 5y agoTrue...but I suspect those "older people [who] still somehow associate China with poor developing nations..." are not reading articles in the U.S. Naval Institute News. From my quick read of the article - it's not so much an "issue" (to get indignant about, or try to fix) as it is a "well-informed people concerned with issues related to the USN might want to be aware of..." thing.
- bdcravens 5y agoYes, but they are reading or listening to the media that will give them the 10 second summary of this story without nuance.
- missedthecue 5y agoNot that I disagree with your main point, but in the interest of useless internet quibbling, India isn't armed with (very much) US tech and they have had a couple violent border clashes with China in recent years.
