Neither the CPC nor PLA have made any outlandish claims about the military tech capabilities of China. As a matter of fact so much of it is under wraps that people come to this site for information.
Greatest PRC win of the past year
- Thread starter siegecrossbow
- Start date
In 1972, Chinese premier Zhou Enlai was asked about the impact of the French Revolution. “Too early to say,”
Yup, but some people believe that China is making propaganda about how good their stuff is despite not even talking about it lol
Except he meant the 1968 Paris riots, not the 1789 Revolution.
@tphuang mentioned Deepseek at the time the 6th gens were revealed and said it might actually be the more important thing in the long run, but nobody was really paying attention.
Assuming nothing interesting comes out before this Christmas, I would say the turkey-shoot is the biggest win. It served as a concrete validation of equipment performance, beyond just training exercises. Granted, it was against India, but it's still very meaningful. I personally observed a lot of Western talking points on Chinese aircraft being swept under the rug afterwards.
As far as wins, I would go with the final roll out of birth subsidies and marriage registration reforms that have helped to stabilize the marriage rate for at least the first three quarters of the year.
Although the birth subsidies are far too low, they represent the government crossing a symbolic barrier, because they are the first ever nationwide birth subsidies since the founding of the PRC. That means that in the past five years, China has reversed 50 years of anti-natal policy. Now, they just need to go at this mission as hard as they did for previous campaigns such as the Four Modernizations.
