            Did they ask for a restoration of the KMT government or the Manchu dynasty? No, they just criticized the current existing government.

                I agree things like TikTok and Farmland are overblown issues that wouldn’t be an issue if congress wasn’t so impotent when it comes to legislating laws that benefit actual Americans over American corporations, but this article entirely ignores China’s excessively aggressive maritime policy, be it their overfishing or their increasing militarism in the South China Sea. That’s the stuff that starts wars, not tariffs and business bans.

            As an ideology, reactionism is a tradition in right-wing politics;[1] the reactionary stance opposes policies for the social transformation of society, whereas conservatives seek to preserve the socio-economic structure and order that exists in the present.[2] In popular usage, reactionary refers to a strong traditionalist conservative political perspective of a person opposed to social, political, and economic change.[3][4]

            It’s what they do to the citizens of china, uyghur or not, and the surrounding countries, instigating shit it internatinal waters, etc. Evil doesn’t have to do anything to me personally for me to hate it.

    So the CCP had the largest navy in the world (number of ships) while at the same time it is also the least experienced. It only became a green water navy in the last 20 or 30 years. It basically has no institutional knowledge. The current top level commanders were the very first generation of sailors to do anything besides patrol the shore.

    Additionally they lack regional peer competition. This could make them seem more effective than they are. Both in the mindes of outside analysts and internally. Ultimately this makes it much harder to estimate the true effectiveness of their Navy. No one knows whether or not to over or under estimate their naval power.
