  1. see? that’s why duking it out with American navy wd fail.
    the corruption wd leak into the performance of their weapons and ordnance.
    how effective is an ordnance guidance system when it loaded into an obsolete version of the chips?
    there’s a vid describing a very effective taiwanese counterattack as well.
    if chirer *ever* did take a stab at it the failure wd pretty much preclude ANY attempted encore.
    the vertical integration of chirese admin coupled with NO checks and balances, guess why so many
    stolen luxury vehicles from around the world wind up being driven by party members?
    corruption is an old tradition in chirer, predating communism.

  2. “The purge of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) by Xi Jinping has involved the removal of over 100 senior military officials since 2022… primarily under the guise of anti-corruption efforts. This crackdown is seen as a means for Xi to consolidate power and eliminate potential political rivals within the military.”

    Evergrande’s Fall : The largest bankruptcy in China’s history…
    “China’s real estate sector experienced a major downturn beginning in 2021 when Evergrande Group defaulted on its debt, triggering a broader crisis among property developers. Evergrande’s collapse (once the world’s most valuable real estate company) led to liquidation orders, significant financial losses for investors, and a sharp decline in home sales across China.” Duck Search Assistant

    The Mandate Of Heaven is shaking. If there is a repeat of Tiananmen Square, will the PLA respond to CCP orders as they did in the eighties? Governments fall when the army changes sides.

  3. Let’s remind us all that THIS is the guy our Dear Leader wants to cozy up with, because #OrangeManBad.

    Also this is the same guy whose country is full of dams that are failing all by themselves in record numbers this year. Nepal floods? CHINESE ENGINEERING FAILURE.

    It appears the Gods are angry. Nothing says you’ve lost the Mandate of Heaven like nationwide catastrophe. Even the missiles are full of water.

    1. I agree and as I have previously noted here, in my 30 years of design/construction, I have noticed that Chinese contractors in the GTA are just not very good. They would get super “snippy” with me when I did site inspections and made them accountable. I even found them substituting less expensive product than was specified on projects. They then would complain about “losing money” when I insisted on the original specification being used. Ah, the good old days.

  6. Yeah … but what about Pete Hegseth!? He’s a drunk, womanizing, rapist, part time FOX weekend show host!

    It’s so easy being an OrangemanBad leftist. Oh! And Canada STRONG! Elbows OUT!

    1. Do you still watch that stuff, Kenji? Seen any of the unhinged fruitbats supporting that harpy who k1lled her three children? Yowza.

      100% boycott. I only hear about them from other sources. Watching lying liars lie on TV, it damages my calm.

    1. I’m told the rockets are full of water because the soldiers use the rocket fuel in their stoves. Because they are not given heating and cooking fuel. Because their officers sell it.

      So I expect there’s more wrong with those rockets than being full of water. What does a general sell? Titanium, computer chips, fancy connectors for rocket engine fuel lines… copper…

      If any of those things actually work it’ll be a miracle.

  9. Corruption in China.
    Tousi TV Aug 28
    China is believed to have been supplying the Islamic Republic with munitions. Tousi is reporting that the Islamic Republic’s mines “deactivated” by the US Navy in the Strait of Hormuz are duds, no explosives. Today’s update is the Strait’s sea lanes are cleared of mines and open. Also, zero oil has been exported due to the blockade. China is paying market price for oil imports.

  10. “corruption was so bad that some missiles were filled with water instead of rocket fuel”. I’m not a rocket scientist but I bet those rockets were slower … with all that water. But weren’t those the ones sold to other countries. Because, how would you know if you never fired them?
