China the paper tiger part 1

     If you listen to talking heads, they always say that China is going to be a major superpower and ultimately take over the United States as the main power block of the world.  They say their Chines economy is going be larger than the west.  They state the Chinese Yuan will be stronger that the Dollar you hear talking heads state the rising sun that is the Chinese military will be a massive war machine that will roll over America.   So, is any of this true?  well, NO it's not the Chinese are a paper tiger Ill break it down in cliffs notes form.

    The Chinese Economy the Chinese do not come up with their own research the steel from the west and re-engineer it for themselves and always in a much more inferior way.  The 5 G Tella communications systems that they pushed on the word was littered with spy ware and never operated at the 5 g promised it is banned here in the states.  due to its back door ability for the DPCR to enter national secured systems.  or other systems that are sensitive to national interests such as power grids, water distribution, gas and oil pipelines and the like.  Now I work in the GAS and OIL industry, and we are not able to use much equipment that is made in China due to the metal being inferior and it cracks and washes out way to fast.  same with the lifting chains all out straps and chains are American or German.  Deepseak: so when China stated they made a major brake threw in the AI field stating they used standard chips and a new way to make chips learn. that cost a tenth of the price for standard AI this sent a shock wave threw the tech industry, causing wall street too lost a trillion dollars in market value. So, people started looking into deepseak and realizing that it was all a lie.  the chips were stolen western chips. The machine learning that the DPCR stated was a brake threw in computing was a full-on lie. and none of what they were saying was true.  the economic situation of the DPRC is astonishingly worse that most can imagine.  the Chinese use a social credit score this is a score determining what you can and can't do in society from shopping to employment, this is all to keep the population in line.  The DPRC also undervalues the currency in order to manipulate interest rates and loans.   

    Education: the schools are good only if you are part of the elite of society they test and test and weed out the unwanted (lots of countries do this it bends the actual numbers inflating their standings) that's why it looks like US students are always low in the standings but in reality, NO.  but I digress their universities are so / so tops this is why the best students are sent to the US or Europe for education and not in the home country.  

Asian children are pushed by their parents until college then the pressure is off.   

    The army, navy and air force well if you look at them on paper you think wow this is a formidable force to recon with, but when you pull back the curtain you see that the wizard is not as powerful as you think.  

the military is rife with corruption the top brass has been shuffled around, and many have well just disappeared never to be heard from again. 

the Chinese have never really been battle tested there are some 2000 t0 3000 committed to the United Nations peace keeping force and are centered in Africa.  there was a report a few years back where the Chinese peace keeping force come under attack by some African revolutionaries the report stated about 100 African fighters armed with AK-47's attacked an UN camp housing food ration.  The camp was being guarded by some 350 Chinese fighters all of them cut and run when the bullets started to fly the UN lost all its food to be sent out to the local tribes to fight against starvation and medical help in the area.  several individuals were sexually assaulted, and several UN workers were killed.  The Chinese government to this day states the DPRC fell back to defensive positions and did nothing wrong.  But this was a clear black eye to the Chinese and there plans of expansion.   The reports from the intelligence agencies state the missiles that were placed in read status do not have the appropriate fuel for launch and were filled with water to look like they were on ready status.  so if there ever was a need for use, they would never launch.  also, the underground ICBM stations have hardened launch doors but the doors do not open properly and is some cases will not open at all   the small arms are a copy of Russian designs and do fair well and are competent enough, but they are lacking in body armor and the body armor that is given out is lacking and can only stop small caliber rounds . the night vision capabilities are also deficient and not given to most the troops and the ones who do have access to the equipment have very little use or training with said items.  the air support is far behind the west in technology as well the main attack helicopters the Z-10 and the Z-19 again ate copies of Russian designs they are not battle test and show deficiencies in technology from radar, to tracking as well as armor.  the jet fighters are far behind the American f series and there are very low production numbers.  Aircraft carriers China has 3 large scale carriers and a fourth on the way but do not have enough plains to make them viable in a battle.   the submarine fleet is mostly Deisel electric with a small hand full of nuclear class subs   but they are small and very noisy, and they are easy to pick up this sub hunting attack boats.   China brags that they have a larger navy than the United States, but you cannot go by ships at sea   you measure the navy by tonnage and the United States is much large than the DPRC The tonnage for the Chinese is about two million tons where the United States sits at 4.5 million tons.  The Chinese boast about having hypersonic missiles but there is no actual proof of them existing other that a few photos of them but nothing that actually proves the specs that the DPRC states and we all know of their ability to lie.  the nuclear ability of the Chinese are slightly on par with the Russians so this does make them a formidable force and one that needs to be watched. 

hope you enjoyed part one of the eye on China
