China is always overstepping their bounds and needs to be checked by the superpowers of the world. Without checks and balances, they will continue to bully the neighboring countries by force and deception.

China, Russia, and the United States are the only 3 superpowers. China already has a larger economy in terms of PPP. It passed the United States in 2017. Russia appears to have bigger plans beyond Ukraine: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-38099842 https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-38099842 Also, people seem to be a month behind on what Russia is doing in Ukraine. https://www.stripes.com/theaters/europe/2022-06-10/ukraine-ammunition-battlefield-prospects-6303189.html https://www.stripes.com/theaters/europe/2022-06-10/ukraine-a...

    So, you and I both posted the same information about the current assessment. Thanks. It’s great to discuss the current situation “Ukrainian officials are increasing the urgency of their requests for more-sophisticated Western-provided weapons systems amid reports of growing Russian artillery superiority”

      No. You asserted that mainstream information is behind by a month.

        No, I did not. I asserted that all this discussion by people [here] about Russia’s “humiliation” is out of date then I posted a NYT article to update the discussion here.

        I believe the Russian governments humiliation here is timeless.

  Russia is a superpower? o-O I would understand if you put EU there. Or if you consider it to be separate states, Germany, UK, and France. Russia has not been a superpower since the collapse of USSR and even regaining those territories (which is not going to happen) won't turn them into one. Neither China, nor US are superpowers because they have a lot of land. They are superpowers because they have immense industries, which the world depends on.

what does "checked" mean? does it involve aircraft carriers? I don't mind if we keep playing the midgame part of chess for a while longer...

As a great power, does China need to keep Russia and America in check?
