Twice the size, but they don’t have anywhere near as much military hardware. Another factor, the US military logistics system is also the most robust in the world.

Infantry might fight wars, but logistics wins wars. (This is why Russia is losing in Ukraine, they lack the logistics system to deliver things outside their own borders)

China doesn’t have a great worldwide logistics system, but like Russia, they have a great internal system.

So a Chinese invasion of the US would basically be dead in the water, likely literally. As in, the ships carrying the invasion force would be sunk before they could unload.

A US invasion of China would be a deadly slog. The US would likely have air superiority, but that only goes so far.

The major factor in any fight, oil. China doesn’t have much in the way of their own reserves. They get most of their oil via tanker from the Middle East. And those shipping lanes are a massive weak point.

One that everyone knows, and also watches.

The final factor is the nuclear capabilities. China is outclassed there as well, but any nuclear fight is one that everyone loses.

The TLDR; China has a lot of troops, but not as much of everything else.

Military size means nothing if you can’t move it, thank you USN.

Because this has been going on for years now, but it seems to not matter to most news organizations who barely give it any coverage. And we can do something about it by making people more aware of it

Well, we could start by not giving them all of the money but that would be an inconvenience to shareholders so I guess there’s nothing we can do really.

Seems more like a lesson learned from all the people the US placed in Gitmo without even a secret trial. And at least China had the argument that they literally did have many spread out terrorist attacks from more radical believers in the Uyghur communities inside China. I think that both the US and China handled shit bad as fuck. But until the US fully shuts down Gitmo and returns it to Cuba, and ends all of our black sites. Then it isn’t exactly something that the US has any real right to talk any shit about just because it is China. We are beyond the level of tyrannical, we are just better at controlling the narrative and have somehow been allowed to just dictate what other nations are “good” and “evil”.

China is doing more to un-fuck their bad choices, as they have made sure that folks that shouldn’t have been mixed in were able to get jobs and technical/vocational training/school. The US never put any tiny amount of even PR level shit for helping Muslims we grabbed up and tortured while being held without any level of legal protections. There are some folks that might just be kept forever at this point as they are afraid that those people might become actual terrorists after being treated so badly while innocent.

Does that mean China gets a pass? No. But the US has done far more in the past 40 years to create the very extremists and terrorists that we keep seeing pop-up. We have done more to create suffering on a global scale since the end of the British Empire. We just hide it better and our gaslighting is top notch from media to trade. Just because we have “freedom of speech” doesn’t mean we aren’t tyrannical.

No it is citing another article which is entirely based on a nebulous trove of leaked documents that has no “person” that is “saying” any of this. No effort to provide these documents for validation at all. Radio Free Asia is an Adrian Zenz rag that has been proven to fabricate evidence, use terrible research methods, and is nothing more than a moutepiece for a racist, antisemitie, Christian Fascist.
