Many Americans think this is 1991 and the rest of the world is way behind in technology. Not true at all. Please research more. The Chinese are not to be underestimated when it comes to their capabilities. Combined with cheap natural resources from Russia, they are a powerhouse. But let's not change topics though I will provide some info.
Assessment comes as Russia unleashes more of its hypersonic Kinzhal missiles in its latest barrage against Ukraine

"WASHINGTON —
Russia’s repeated use of advanced hypersonic missiles as part of its bombardment of Ukraine may be getting the bulk of the West’s attention, but United States defense officials say it is China that has the world’s leading hypersonic arsenal.
"While both China and Russia have conducted numerous successful tests of hypersonic weapons and have likely fielded operational systems, China is leading Russia in both supporting infrastructure and numbers of systems,” the Defense Intelligence Agency’s chief scientist for science and technology told U.S. lawmakers Friday.
“Over the past two decades, China has dramatically advanced its development of conventional and nuclear-armed hypersonic missile technologies and capabilities through intense and focused investment, development, testing and deployment,” said the DIA’s Paul Freisthler, testifying in front of the House Armed Services Committee.
Unlike ballistic missiles, which fly at hypersonic speeds but travel along a set trajectory, hypersonic weapons are highly maneuverable despite flying at Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound."
I am using American media here, so imagine if I bring in Chinese sources. Western domination of the world is over. China knows that the West wants to see Russia weakened or destroyed and after that, the West will target China next. Therefore, they will not allow Russia to be destroyed.
(Before you respond, I think I know what you might say: "Russia destroyed itself" or "Russia can end this now" or "It was Russia that started this")
These are typical talking points so let's move beyond them. Whether you think Russia started this or NATO started this, we need to look at the present situation in Ukraine. Going round and round is not going to help the discussion - that is, if you are interested in a discussion at all, and not just going on the attack to make your point.
