I saw this discussion about the book call The Beijing Consensus on C-span2 and found it to be a fair and honest assessment of China. They go over a little of everything from domestic, economic, foreign relations and military. I hope you all find it also to be interesting.

Wait China has better AWACs than USA and its a full generation ahead!? I always thought it was slightly below or on par with US's.

dont expect these washingtonians to know anything about China nor its military

ABC78

I don't think the guy was claiming that the Chinese AWACs were better than the US. I think he was repeating the Chinese claims of the capabilities of the PLA AWACs.

Thats a pretty big claim regardless, especially since China is usually very conservative on its facts and statements. Anyone got any source or information on the claim? Its the first time i heard it from US or China.

On which minute of which video did they mention that? I watched both and I don't recall this, but then again I wasn't exactly paying full attention the whole time.

It's not when you realize that the E-3C's AN/APY-2 and E-2C's APS-145 PESA technology are both more than 30 years old. This claim is probably true. On the other hand, the level of interconnectivity and situational awareness and control that these radar systems (including the planes and operators) have with the rest of their friendly forces is probably much greater than what the KJ-200 or KJ-2000 can currently achieve.

The first video offers a quite skewed view of chinese society.
Personally, I didn't see a that much repressed population. Corruption, bad-governance exist everywhere.

That Maochun Yu is the worst filthy worm that I've ever seen!

Just look at his eyes when he lies on purpose.
