They can get to about somewhat below France's technological level, assuming China doesn't launch a first strike to prevent it. While their navy is very powerful, their highest range domestic ship-ship missiles have a range shorter than China's. Their air force is still using F-4s and F-1s...

Military is just an extension of economy in the modern era. 500 years ago, tribes could win with bravery over more advanced and organized empires, but ever since 1900 the distance between tribals and advanced countries has increased exponentially. With a weak economy, it is almost impossible...

EM waves are also scattered (diffuse reflection) by discontinuities of dimensions comparable to their wavelengths; in optical frequencies that would be comparable to the size of the gap between packed soil measured in the micrometers, but in RF, dirt should be as transparent as glass is at...

That's OK, the rich Asians interested in marrying other races can move to the UK and marry British blondes, while the poor can marry blacks. British Chinese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 1901, the first Chinese laundry opened in Poplar, and it was immediately stoned by a hostile...

HDI was moving the goalposts. China's HDI in 2009 was ranked very high until they changed the methodology to better reward processes rather than final results. List of Chinese administrative divisions by Human Development Index - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Numbers didn't do India any good against the British did it? PRC never lost a war. I don't care about what happened 1000 years ago. India on the other hand has been defeated in 1962. In the end, the final result was: India has NEVER won a war against a peer competitor and won, but can only...

I don't know about the rest of your points but here's what I noticed. Dielectrics such as glass and pure plastic are usually transparent to EM waves in the absence of macroscopic material flaws like pores, while conductors are reflective. That is because EM waves induce surface plasmon waves in...

They truly can produce chemical instrumentation. I used a NTMDT AFM before. State of the art machine and cheaper than everything else on the market. In niche areas like nuclear power, jet engines and metallurgy, yes, they are very advanced. In others, they have always been behind.

So no one starves in India? Everyone is happy and fed?

Korea isn't that good. Ever think about why the Koreans trade defeciet with Japan goes up as their overall trade goes up? You guessed correctly: Most of Korean technology depends on Japanese technology - the process machinery that makes everything is Made in Japan. China is only high tech in...

Su-30s are there because we've already bought them in 90's and early 2000's and they can fly. We can throw them all away but that would be a great waste wouldn't it? Our first Su-27s have already been retiring. I think we are overall, at the same level of Russia, ahead in some areas such as...

That is true. If you include the South, then the ratio goes up in your favor to 5:1.

X is pronounced with a Sh. So Xi is pronounced Shi (as in Shilling) So Xi Jinping is pronounced, in American English, like Shi Jing Ping

So they finally admitted that Xi is another Gorbachev and a typical 3rd world military dictator.

We ratified UNCLOS with the condition that our pre existing claims would be respected. They accepted this condition, and we're in.

Actually, you were using free, donated state of the art Russian and Chinese weapons against the Americans in the 1970's, had absolute logistic support, had absolute diplomatic shielding in the UN, and still had a 60:1 kill ratio against you. Now the difference is a networked and totally...
