  1. Don't fly in them. China saves on manufacturing costs by not installing properly functioning safety systems. The 991 jet, sorry the 919 jet 😅, is made to crash order. I'm not boarding it. If the airline I choose to fly on uses them, that's the last time I'm flying on that airline (if I survive the 991 jet flight).

  2. The black "camouflage" is not all that camouflaged. The US used matt black camouflage on the now obsolete SR-72 Blackbird high altitude reconnaissance jet and the F-117 Nighthawk early stealth bomber. Neither were effective. It turns out that shades of grey are better for high altitude aircraft, and army camouflage colours for a helicopter (helicopters are most vulnerable to being targeted when landed).

  3. .. learn "everything" except how to fight effective coordinated combined arms warfare. Something that many PLA officers are not adept at.

  6. Nope, that would need innovation and some scope and freedom to their engineers to design something. No freedom in China. China's education system is now a cipher of "let's worship Xi Jinping". F**ked up with Mao, now f**king up with Xi the Pooh.

  7. I agree with this assessment.
