China is going to eat the lunch of Western weapon makers

China is going to eat the lunch of Western weapon makers. When China targets a sector, you can expect its domination sooner or later. We have seen it in EVs, shipbuilding, renewable energy, high-speed rails and infrastructure building under the BRI.

Two other sectors that China is aiming for a bigger stake are aviation and semiconductors. The USA and the West can bet against it and erect barriers against it at their own peril. But do not push China into prioritizing it. The result would not be what they wished for.

China is no longer playing the nice guy. Weapons export is picking up speed after the India/Pakistan conflict. It is now being enhanced by Iran going full throttle buying up Chinese weapons - the whole Chinese 'air force' deal as they called it, with jets, missiles and defense system, the whole works. They are moving to Iran almost readily available by the trainloads - unknowingly, unseen and no loud noises.

Is Israel about to go for another pre-emptive strike against Iran? Maybe, if the earlier lesson has not been learnt. If Iran, with its self-developed missiles can already do so much damage to Israel, the Iranians must have seen something more useful with Chinese J10s, PL15 and China's Advance Warning Air Control System (AWACS).

Oh, by the way, Iran already found out how beneficial it was during the 12-day war using the Chinese Beidou Navigation Satellite system to target Israel cities and important infrastructures. Were Iran still using GPS, they would be targeting blind with the system jammed by the Israelis with help from the USA. Think about it.
