It is absolutely weak in the sense that modernization has not been completed and still has a long way to go. We shouldn't let pride get in the way of objective analysis.I wouldn’t call it weak, simply untested in the current setting. I mean Ukraine was considered to be the strongest army trained by the west in Europe and Russia as a gas station in the middle of nowhere and right now the USA is trying everything from nuclear threats, blowing up pipelines of Allie’s and begging for weapons around the world because they far from being a strong military, is in fact a weak military propped up by the dollar and the fact they have nukes and even now their economy is in such a state that they sent Yellen to China to try and get them to save them like it is 2008. I believe in due time China will iron out its differences but really I believe that China is already very powerful (heck powerful enough to blow the USA back to hell if they get first strike and with Russia willing to help out because of basically everything the USA has done to them now, they have a very good chance of success there) but merely prefers to win a fight with an extreme advantage rather then start a fight now when it isn’t even required, especially with the USA looking to be in more of mess in a mere few weeks
FFS don't they have roast duck places in Washington?
Maybe so but China was on such bad footing for so long that the fact they caught up to this extent shows the world really strong they are. Think about it, their modernization was in such dire straits and they still fought the USA to a standstill during the Vietnam war and even the Korean War that one can only imagine what China will be like the. They get themselves full sorted. Sure China didn’t focus as hard on The military side of things on the surface but really even the USA and it’s billions of dollars on reinforcing failure while generation fake profit seems to show to me that the USA for all of bluster has a pretty weak military that only specializes in short conflicts where they can beat up a nation with no air cover or any sort of military stockpile. China right now is not the Song Dynasty and in terms of pride, the western world and its crazy media has China completely beat by a factor of ten. Even if China is carrying out its militaryIt is absolutely weak in the sense that modernization has not been completed and still has a long way to go. We shouldn't let pride get in the way of objective analysis.
Frankly, I would say that in many aspects China is severely lacking in what you would expect from the largest economy in the world by PPP. I'll grant that buildup and modernization started relatively recently in historical terms, but for the longest time the military was simply not taken very seriously in comparison to economic growth. That was a mistake the Song dynasty made and it cost them.
Bro same feeling here, same song and dance routine, its boring compare that to my 2 favorite ARTIST!!!!!
Got to admit, I really don't like Blackpink.
Why?
Simply because they got no damn talent.
Just look at that classic song in that video.
Can't sing, can't dance, can't play the piano, like WTF?
Why is the audience screaming at this?
Sometimes I feel really disappointed at society in general.
Makes me think. Maybe I should become a fucking hermit and get the hell out of here.
Yeah, maybe that is what I will do. Blackpink, more like black hole of talent!

You have to adapt to your enemies. The Song primarily faced off against military enemies who couldn’t run an economy worth a damn but could put 50,000 cavalry at your door steps within a moment’s notice. Neglecting your military against such opponents was foolish.It is absolutely weak in the sense that modernization has not been completed and still has a long way to go.
