Retired Chinese navy general cries on TV

[jhungary]

I dont think we speak chinese bruh

Can we get like a translation

Not really understood most of what he said (Maybe my Chinese gone a lot worse than before.) In summary

He (the old admiral) speaking about how it wasn't like it used to be, now when China have money, they can expand the Chinese navy and build island (in SCS) and build runway, the old Chinese does give up a lot of opportunities and lost chances, not to foreigner but their own people, because the navy cost a lot of money in the old days and at one time he was talking about the pays in the Navy is much less than Taiwan, Russia, the UK, US and so on, and now in the year follow, he is hoping a strong navy to be established in China.

This is what I can understand from him

P.S. it's just strange the MC wear US Style UCP Jacket....

It is not impossible but close to it. Ok unless the Chinese spend in the next 10 years additional $1 trillion plus to the current military budget to build up 20 aircraft carriers with accompanying destroyers and cruisers, because that would come close to the amount of US naval fleets deployed during Vietnam war.

The number of ships deployed in the region fifty years ago= the number of ships you need to win a naval warfare in 2027, nice math work and logical thinking.

Yes, he was emotional on the show when recalled what could have been, the use of "cry" was misleading, and gave a field day for those usual China haters.

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

General Zhang said Vietnam occupied 49 reefs and Islands in SCS since 1975 which are supposed to belong to China since ancient time.

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

That's because China is civilization.

Why is he crying and what is he saying?

He felt anguish because its not the enemy but his own people(China Naval Command) that is preventing him from taking action in the South China Sea. Apparently the Navy was treated badly in those days and lack funds. He was admonished and chided when he 1st suggested building the Aircraft Carrier.
He felt great emotion on at last being vindicated after so many years, now that China see the utility of Aircraft Carriers and building up islands in the South China Sea.

Not for trolling...how many private uncontrolled news channelsare there in China??

Fewer restriction in some desert, go and living there

He said that during 1982-1987, every year navy called to build carrier, and others always said: why always talk about carrier, what's wrong with navy, carrier is useless and without any money ， during that time whole China’s defence budget is only 10billion YUAN-20billion Yuan，only 2% of US.For tens of years, navy without any one ship enter service

You never control and administer the islands we control today. If you have high moral high civilization you can go back to the central plains, your homeland, and return all occupied territories to the natives.

stop with the BS, everyone know strength will always determine history.

You just temporarily administer those islands under China mercy.

He was referring to the budget being less to those countries including India.

There is no such thing as uncontrolled news channel. Every news outlet in the world has to submit to some sort of broadcast standard body.

Don't talk things you regret later. You should know, it is not up to you to decide, who will be the first to start the aggression.
