After months of secretive planning, and preparing the crew to defend their ship if necessary, the Royal Canadian Navy has transited the Taiwan Strait.
As HMCS Ottawa entered the busy and strategically critical body of water at sunrise, it was flanked by three Chinese warships armed with missiles and torpedoes. They mirrored Ottawa’s moves for the entire 17-hour crossing.
Canada made the journey along with the USS Ralph Johnson, a U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer, in what both countries describe as a freedom of navigation exercise.
China can claim anything they want. They will never enforce it because they can’t. They might be an economic superpower (selling off your population as slaves to do labour for basically no money in awful conditions tends to do that), but they will never be a military one. Their weapons are copied, low quality garbage, their soldiers untrained, and undisciplined.
Ruzzia may have been the biggest paper tiger in history, China is the second biggest.
I would say China might actually be a better military power than Russia. No one would have believed just how fucking bad Russia’s military crumbled away. I doubt China has the same issues (but I don’t really know). Let’s say their weapons are copied (copies of what? State of the art weapons systems?) - I’d guess that means they can do some serious damage eitherway, and probably better than what Russia has. They have nukes too.

The doubts about their non transparency regarding economics has finally hit the fan. Xi is due for a rude awakening. Also fuck Evergrande
