I guess they have to move the aircraft carrier further away now.
Let them be lulled into a false sense of security in the South China Sea and keep gloating about the superiority of their systems and weapons. China is well prepared to face the USA, not what it was a century ago. The USA time window to take down China has long gone, and they can keep on posturing and strutting its feathers.
Just how prepared is the USA in the South China Sea? Just look at the way they tackled the Los Angeles wildfire, with water shortages, poor water management, poor infrastructure cover, lack of manpower and no co-ordination. Help only came together after days of burning. Does USA have a water shortage problem? Sure, they do, looking at the situation unfolding. Water shortage is also going to be prevalent in Arizona, where all the semiconductor investors are putting their factories of all places. A fire over there would be equally devastating. But are they prepared for that situation I just wonder.
I was aghast to learn that they even have to force prisoners or incarcerated people to become firefighters, paying them 'slave wages' of US$10.24 per day with overtime of US$1.00 per hour additional. Are they sure that being paid USS10.24 per day, those prisoners will risk their lives to help put out fires for the super-rich? More likely those prisoners will become looters than fire fighters. These prisoners are perhaps the 'cream of the crop' in lying, cheating and stealing. What a sick joke from a sick country. But I guess they are proud of its anyway.
