This article is the only one on the internet that contains this quotation. How confident are we in www.BulgarianMilitary.com?

And there are clearly folks here who are more than happy to carry water for them. It's nice of them to identify themselves so readily, they stick out like giant Winnie the Pooh dolls.

I’ve seen people claim that China has no desire to be a global hegemon and just wants regional security but this shoots that notion in the back of the head.
I don't know about you, but I'm not eager to alter my priors based on a single, context-free quotation from bulgarianmilitary.com.

regardless of propaganda, if the facts are correct it is the same speed how US can build cruisers.

> This means the US might have to face both China and Russia at the same time. In terms of GDP, that's like saying "China might have to face the US and Belgium at the same time". Russia's military output is constrained enough that importing shells from North Korea was a significant boost for them.
Is GDP really the best way to look at this though, when the US spends on the order of 2-5x more for equipment and weapons systems per unit compared to the Russian/Chinese equivalents, without necessarily being 2-5x better in real world applications?
It would be interesting to see a more accurate comparison with spending adjusted by total amount and actual purchase/operating costs, though I'm not really sure how to go about doing that, and it gets even more murky looking at price gouging by military contractors for ordinary objects in the US ($50,000 trash cans come to mind.) For the first reason and one above I suspect our actual reported value gained from our budget is vastly overinflated.
I also suppose something similar would be happening in Russia/China, maybe not as price gouging fraud but theft of supplies/funding, which would be harder to compare.

Of course a Chinese propagandist would say that about their forces, with truth being at best coincidence. True world powers need not make empty boasts nor fear paper Poo bears.
Are you telling me China built the largest navy in the World (per number of ships) and now....will NOT use it?

I'm not worried if they're built to similar quality as other Chinese products.
