China Arms Buildup "Alarming"

[BrilloPad]

Seriously, is nobody worried by this at all?

Are you not worried by my treatment at the hands of the family courts? When are you going to join f4j?

But it might affect the price of shoes...

But it might affect the price of shoes...

Doubt that

Well, not the shoes I'd buy anyway

I shouldn't worry too much about China, they may be able to build weapons but their logistics leave something to be desired...

Ahh, but wot if it was Russia, China, the whole SCO, half of South America, most of the Islamic world and North Korea against the United States?

I wouldn't give a small brown turd.

Not my problem.

The bigger the bang the better.

And now, as it's my 41st Birthday today I'm off to the pub!

I'll be at the Rose & Crown from 16:30 I'll set the tab up.

Cheers.

Happy birthday Churchill. Have a Shandy on me.

Country spends money on defence - shock horror. Dont get too perturbed Nicky g
We have more to worry about with the Russkis at the moment, the Chinese have always been at odds with the Russkis, they have always feared them as much , if not more, than we do.
I am not an expert but I would guess any build up is more defensive than aggressive, and more likely pointing east, not west.
The Chinese have never sought an empire, they already have one
what they have done, and brilliantly well, is to set their opponents at each others throats, and to win via diplomacy, trade and patience.
