Foreign Policy — Rising China arms exports threaten US influence worldwide


This would be funny if it weren't so scary.
Chinese-made advanced weapons systems flooding the international market over the next 10 years will cause instability, and make it a lot harder for the US to intervene in other countries, Foreign Policy magazine warned.....
“Chinese weapons systems are often much cheaper than those of competing exporters. And while they’re not better than Russian or US alternatives, they are often good enough,”the US magazine wrote.
According to FP’s expert, Joseph E. Lin, over the years Chinese advanced weapon platforms will increase in quality, while their prices will continue falling, as happened with consumer electronics.
You, too, will soon be able to afford your own sophisticated weapon systems — if you live long enough they way things are headed.
