No real sources yet but yes there is some posturing. Also, there are no carriers in Gulf right now so you would think it can't be that near
SIPRI estimates of China's budget are well respected by experts and China is not some black hole like North Korea. There is statistics about everything being reported publicly. If the SIPRI estimates were lower than what China actually spends then there would be discrepencies everywhere between public reports/order/circulation about China's military industrial companies and the actual budget.
Moreover, when you actually look at IISS military balance numbers of China's hardware over the past few years, its pretty obvious they are not spending much.
They barely add around 100 fighters per year, build a few cheap surface ships and barely 100 tanks are added per year. China still uses J-7 planes and Type-55 tanks. China's submarine production was non existant for several years.
That should tell you how little hardware is actually produced per year.
Yes, they are making good advances when it comes to coming up with new platforms, new planes, new missiles. So, there is a lot of spending on the R&D side. But actual material buildup is low. This corroborates with their lower budget.

You know it's one thing to write propaganda about everyone in Iran loves Mossad, it's another to actually believe it yourself.
I say GOOD FREAKING LUCK!!
Japan was lucky it had the upper hand when it took its one-in-a-million chance to subjugate China—at its weakest—during the nadir of the Qing Dynasty.
If they try the same armed shenanigans against modern China—a literal juggernaut in industrial capacity, know-how, technology, and not to mention the nationalist fervor among ordinary Chinese who want to exact revenge for what Imperial Japan did to China—a war with Japan would literally end Japan as a nation-state as we know it!
I was one of the biggest believers of Iran's strength and resolve during last year's war. When everyone was dismissing them as a loser, I kept faith in them surviving Israeli attacks and fighting back, which they did. But after the war, their actions have been extremely disappointing. Instead of galvanizing the public, they have given in to more defeatism. So, I don't believe Iran can lost long. The public is simply too far gone to the other side.
Exactlly. Remember Japan only got victories on the Coastal Regions and Eastern China since it was already filled with Cucks. Once they got into western China it became a living hell for them. They couldn't fucking conquer Shaanxi province which is the only gateway into Chongqing.

Yeah after losing last summer Israel decided to dial up propaganda war and the topic they picked was Iran suddenly started loving Israel after bombing Israel, oh and they hate democracy now and want their king back... yeah that fits their general soft power competency these days.
I concede that the execution of Donroe Doctrine is a flawless example of spec ops operation and systemic warfare but let’s not pretend that it is some sort of major geopolitical victory here. After TACOing against the East Asian MMA fighter for a whole year, the Donald knocked down a half starved Latina with his pinky and somehow this means that China is finished? Why didn’t he pick on someone his own size then? Is it because he is too saintly and treasures his friendship with Daddy Xi too much???
The fact that the anti-China cucks celebrate this as some sort of massive win shows just how desperate they are for victory of any sort, no matter how meager. Hugo Chavez has been anti-US for the longest time, but back when America was actually strong under Bush Sr. and Clinton didn’t even felt the need to dignify it with armed response.
