My 2 cents.
He is emotional while recalling how the Navy was neglected and deprived of funds for 10 over years. The Navy was unable to procure ships to protect the South China Sea islands. He had to watch helplessly while the Vietnamese took over 49 features and it will be difficult to retake them now.
Soldiers could become insane standing watch over the few reefs occupied by China due to the tediousness. Their sacrifice are worthwhile. Those reefs are now magnificent islands with runways.
His greatest regret was the disdain shown him not by the enemy but by the Chinese Naval Command. He felt deep grievance and so the tears.

Yup. Vietnamese laughing at Chinese because they say if we have 40% of China's capability, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, all of SCS, parts of Guangzhou would be under Vietnamese control. I tend to believe it.

Trolling or not, I feel better make it straight...

For sure cannot be compared to the proud IND for having so many free beacon channels thus be at state what we're witnessing today! Be rest assured, for those attributes much pushed over by the mainstream: "freedom", "democracy", "human rights" conformity, you folks can feel pompous taking pride on those attributes!!

For me, being free from poverty, backwardness, achieving progress and prosperity while maintaining own sovereignty is the truly ultimate form of "freedom", "democracy", "human rights"... as well as having a strong & advanced nation ensuring the safety, security of its people as well as providing prosperity and measured hope or expectation for better future is the truly ultimate form of "freedom", "democracy", "human rights"....

Of course I must admit that our standard of references or priorities can be different.

But at least I can confidently say that it's how the majority of Chinese people think... prosperity and harmony plus sovereignty as the most important... way more fundamental beyond those irrelevant foreign-induced hollow concepts!

I may truly never understand why some parts of the world so naively to take those foreign-induced hollow attributes as their prime objectives instead of achieving the real prosperity and harmony!

P.S. So, in replying to your question in straight, I dunno for such matter that you raised has no substance at all in my view, I really never pay attention into such private/institution controlling dichotomy of news channels ... for sure it's the last thing I want to experience the many conflicting news channels creating divisions and even conflicts within the society tearing apart the social fabric and harmony, damaging the nation from within!!

like any ideology it needs good propaganda for the masses to eat up. you see this with religion and you see this with "freedom", "democracy", and "human rights" BS. But in the end, only winners write history, that is a fact.

Not sure how it will be difficult to retake them now. Unless the Vietnamese just made it harder.

depends on what you mean by controlled. It's a complicated question, if you want to get to more than just the surface.

Let's say Hindu times was ran by someone who likes Congress and Zee news by someone who likes BJP (not saying this is the case, I don't know enough on this, but I know enough that no one is impartial), is that controlled?

If you mean does China regulate content by law, then yes, and most likely far more strictly than India or else where. Though this also has two meanings. For example let's say India had a food scandal, a politician was involved. The party would be blamed, the politician would resign and the party would take a hit come election time (if it happens near enough).

In China, only the official would be blamed, the party won't, his connections maybe targeted, and a chain of officials would go down. So, really the same happens, except Chinese official will face jail time.

So are Chinese channels controlled? Yes. Does that mean it reflects the will of the party? What is the will of the party? Xi doesn't need to approve every article, the central government doesn't read every article. The station chief doesn't even read every article, so are there more guide lines, yes. However, as I explained, it merely limits the target in a way.

Pl stay on topic ...

There is nothing embarrassing, even for an old, former general or whoever he or she is, to shed true tears seeing the Motherland evolves into strength, modernity and prosperity. Things like the rapid and massive development in naval, air force, land, rocketry forces by China should be cherished by every sane Chinese... it's just a natural thing to share the joy, pride and happiness... even by shedding tears showing the extended level of deep feelings

What do you know about nationalism and patriotism? Have any PC issue with that??

I don't mind either to shed tears for anything of substance my concept of "sissy" is simply different!

Now please do us a favor go trolling elsewhere, please...

This is indeed a big. China "forgot" it's military and focused on economy for 30 years. This is why western analysts don't get about China. It didn't take China 40 years to get a carrier, it took China 10 years to get 2. China simply didn't want to waste money on one in the previous 30 years, when one or two carriers would mean less than shit in an actual conflict.

We are all seeing the fruits now. We are fast surpassing Japan in destroyers. Japan, the second most powerful destroyer fleet in the world for much of the past 20 years.

All in all, time has proven what is right and wrong.

Why is he crying and what is he saying?

He was saying how he spent 3 decades studying carriers and he wasn't even allowed to give a speech about carriers in conferences because the rest of the services felt China had no money for carriers and his projects are stupid.

He was saying for decades the navy was the unwanted child of the PLA because it cost an army and a leg to fund it and other branches need that arm and leg for itself.

He was saying how China couldn't even have 1 new ship a year in those days.

He was saying how in the early days, to not let anymore islands fall to others, Chinese soldiers had to pitch a temp living quarters on one of those islands and just stay there. How boring and how bad it was after just a few days when you run out of things to say.

Today China launches more ship in a year than China did in the previous decade. China has the biggest islands with runways capable of landing large aircraft.

There's more, but that is the important parts.

Occupier of a sea is crying to instigate passions among Chinese to support cpc's land and sea encroachment plans.

Thank you for providing the proper translation. Anyone in doubt of the language skill should avoid doing the translation for the inaccurate output will have the misguiding effects! Translate only if one's sure about its substance!!

Is it really important for the Indian to understand?

Just show this, figuratively.
