No, his status was too low.Did Gordan Chang mention in Epstein's files?
Gordon Chang would bring no value to Epstein. What can he do for him? Spew more BS about China on Fox News? He already does this without coercion.Did Gordan Chang mention in Epstein's files?
Uhh…Japan has always been quite good with long range cruise missiles and anti ship missiles. Now they are rapidly expanding their stockpile and range even without Article 9.Do tell, Japs will sink PLAN warships with what?
Why China wants to deter Japan from intervening? PLA is too weak to defeat the combined might of US and Japan?
No doubt the PLA has improved dramatically in the last 30 years in terms of capabilities. But it is also true that there remains doubt whether China could defeat combined US and Allies forces without suffering so great that the entire developmental path (along with political stability) of China could be jeopardised. If Zhang was removed due hesitance to fight the US, there remains such doubt of victory even among the PLA’s own ranks. Then of course, you got pro-west elites (finically elites, businessmen depend on exports, liberal intellectuals/lawyers, feminists, white worshippers, minorities like Tibetans and Uighurs, my city of HK, etc.) who would take every opportunity to weaken the Party State apparatus. So when China enters into a war, significant amount of government resources would have to be deployed to deal with domestic enemies as well.Seriously dude, spend some time on various sections on this very forum to see where PLA is at. There is no need to use nukes to defeat US and Japan.
