Alot of misguided people thinks Iran is only about the Islamic clergy and mullas, just like alot of misguided people thinks China is only about Mao and his red guards.
I've been thinking whether democratic governments allows a country to stagnate but not collapse or be overthrown completely/violently. What are your opinions?
Do you guys really think the US has to collapse for China to be safe? We're talking about similar to what happened to China this beginning century?
Do you guys seriously believe a US government collapse is imminent? Is there a middle way, some sort of compromise with reduced government?

China is not going to 'defeat' the USA and the US is not going to fall because of China but China may be among one of the factors. Countries fall from within. Trend and circumstances decided the direction to history and courses of countries and the rise and fall of big people. Big people are...
I think what the article implies is that they have improved the HQ-16 to handle low altitude interception of targets such as low flying cruise missiles. It's not a completely new missile because even navalised HHQ-16 has been in service for some time.
What this means is that now they have for a...
I wonder if the model has landing gear doors that takes after J-20. CAC and SAC are said to have helped complement each other's technology.
Does this mean they have something similar in the works? Or is this a rejected plan that they're disclosing now? Or just a random model?
The aim of this development is to have a medium range missile that can engage low flying objects, namely under 50 meters for hilly terrain and under 10 meters for naval use. This is a flexibility that other existing mid range missiles don't have.
Those pics of missiles being fired are of...
Sorry I can't. My mother and all her relatives can, but my father was born son of a KMT army colonel that was transferred to Taiwan with his family in 1945.
Both my grandpa and my pa married late, and neither my pa nor me was the firstborn. So if I go back to china today, some 30+ year olds...
Mainland I'm not sure. Taiwan's local culture is actually quite predominately influenced by one particular province in China, and that is Fujian. Most people who regard themselves as local Taiwanese have their ancestors from this region.
When KMT retreated from China to Taiwan in 1948, they...
It is for medium range.
China has modern short range missiles and modern long range missiles (S-300). This development is to fill in the medium range and up to low altitude gap, which at the present is shouldered by aging missiles that can't engage low flying targets.
They are still using...
He has to cut the military to put more resource into economic developments. It might also encourage western investment at the time as they think that economic development may disarm the dragon eventually or at least feed it more fat to lose its brawn.
Key programs like windtunnel research etc...
If I'm correct the HQ-9 is based on the S-300 and is what the type 052c destroyers carry(HHQ-9). The type 054A frigates carries the HHQ-16 which is a shorter ranged missile based on the HQ-16.
