Unfortunately, their animation industry has enshittified across the board, and this has impacted their adult animation as well. The last leg of their economy are the soap lands and pachinko parlors.

"The number of major accidents involving military aircraft spiked in 2024, internal Pentagon figures show, and a series of high-profile mishaps with deaths and the loss of aircraft in 2025 suggest the disturbing trend may be continuing.
Across the military, the rate of severe accidents per 100,000 flight hours rose 55% in the 2024 budget year compared with four years earlier. The saw the highest increase, nearly tripling its rate over the same period.
In those 10 months of last year, 25 service members and Defense Department civilian employees were killed and 14 aircraft were destroyed.
on just its own aviation mishaps shows a marked increase this year. The Naval Safety Command reported eight Class A aviation mishaps in 2024. In 2025, that total has spiked to 14."

Unfortunately those numbers are still too low to really create serious attrition. It's a likely sign of marginal underinvestment in maintenance but that's about it.
I mean the whole campaign for the Han dynasty to crush the Xiongnu took over a century to complete. From paying tribute to them at the start to wiping them out is a long game.
Even ethnic minorities do this like Qing. Qianlong's excuse for basically genociding or at least neutering Mongolians completely was my grandpa had problems with you guys so I wanna finish the job permanently.
According to some ppl, turning on the LHC resulted in all these crazy events in our timeline, after 2016.
culturally, China is closer to Ancient Rome than the slave morality of a judeochristian society. This is why vendettas and revenge are acceptable in Chinese society and values, why the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade in 1995 is considered a “blood debt” that will be repaid when or if the opportunity arises, just as such an opportunity to avenge nanjing and ww2 has now arisen thanks to the current Japanese administration.
It appears things are escalating worldwide, first with U.S. piracy of Chinese cargo and China using the courts and multilateral vehicles to fight this seizure as a demonstration that China is the adult in the room of an increasingly Hobbesian world.
and now of U.S. piracy of Russian cargo ships.
the Anglos are returning to privateering and piracy.
let the world burn for bit, and in due time they will beg China to take the crown.

let us hope the Danes and the EU offer more resistance than they did in ww2, nazi Germany basically marched in at the cost of a handful of Danish casualties
Just gonna say. That it is increasingly in China interests to build thousands more nuclear warheads as an deterrences. Couple thousand warheads is no longer possible as a minimum deterrence. Trump 2.0 has gotten increasingly reckless and absorbed into the belief that they are invincible with zero consequences. Consider what Trump has been doing. Assassinations, attempted assassinations, and kidnapping of leaders and state leaders.
The most important one being Russia with several thousand warheads and the Americans still attempted to assassinate their state leader. It was Trump who told Putin to stay at that location during the phone call assuming he was there in the first place due to his KGB expertise. Plus attacking their nuclear triad of strategic bombers that were exposed due to previous nuclear arms treaties by using Ukraine as a cover to conduct CIA supported operations.
All this means is
1) Minimal Nuclear Deterrence is no longer realistic. MAGAmerica no longer fears nuclear war.
2) US demand for Chinese nuclear negotiations cannot be trusted in good faith. Even if parity is achieved.
3) US hopes that nuclear negotiations with China will expose their nuclear capabilities. In other to use third parties as cover to sabotage and attack through terrorists or US aligned non-nuclear proxies on China nuclear triad.

I wasn't thinking about seriously reducing the US force in that manner; the only known aircraft that has suffered so many maritime incidents that the attrition rate significantly reduced the inventory were Indian MiG-21.
But this is not a sign of marginal underinvestment; this is a sign that the US military is stretching its economy too thin and thus it's losing professionalism and reducing safety standards. This is the tip of the iceberg in terms of decay. American pilots already get significantly less flight hours compared to Chinese pilots due to maintenance budget constraints; if they get into a heated conflict with a power like China in the Asian theater, the accident rate from pushing aircraft to the limit of thier sorty rates is going to skyrocket.
On the other hand, China's military is truly showing what it's like to be able to afford being careful and meticulous with uncompromising maintenance protocols. Of the big 3, (China, Russia, USA) China has the lowest aircraft accident rate by far. In 2023 and 2024, China had no incidents and in 2025, we suffered the loss of one J-15, compared to 14 incidents with just the USN in 2025 and in 2023-4, the US was playing crash bingo, losing F-16, F-15, F-18, F-35 and F-22 all in just a few months. China is the only country that has never suffered a 5th gen aircraft crash even in prototype phase.
