China's upcoming military parade will produce surprises.

Wow.  The Chinese are taking off the gloves.  I wonder if we've upset their timetable?  I like to think we must have.  The Pentagon, State Dept and the rest of the US govt has been extremely slow to wake up to this threat and I imagine they believe that they would continue to operate in the shadows unnoticed.

BUT!

They've been exposed so instead of retreating they're going all out and showing us their strength.

I'm pleased.  At least they're being honest now.

For better or worse we have a new cold war with a foe that is in ways more/less dangerous than the USSR.
