- US Adm. John Aquilino said China’s military is building up at a rate not seen since World War II.
- That puts it on the path to meeting its goal of being ready to invade Taiwan by 2027, he said.
- Aquilino, the outgoing head of the US Indo-Pacific Command, urged Washington to accelerate military development.
China’s rapid military build-up is more expansive than anything seen since World War II, which means it’s on track with its 2027 goal to be ready for a Taiwan invasion, said US Navy Adm. John Aquilino.
“All indications point to the PLA meeting President Xi Jinping’s directive to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027,” Aquilino wrote in a testimony to the US Armed Services House Committee.
“Furthermore, the PLA’s actions indicate their ability to meet Xi’s preferred timeline to unify Taiwan with mainland China by force if directed,” added the admiral, the outgoing head of the US Indo-Pacific Command.

The us military is constantly experiencing warfare.
If anyone in that pic turns out to have been swimming naked it’ll be the chinese
Korea. Afghanistan. Vietnam. The USA military is having difficulties recruiting. Million dollar equipment is useless when the people operating it aren’t there, or undertrained.
Bombing brown people who can’t fight back isn’t “warfare.” It’s bullying.
Idk why ppl are hating on this. We haven’t seen a large scale war in quite a while. And it’s not unheard of that companies cut corners in the US in the name of profits. Or that someone gives a bid to their friend/relative instead of the best company.
