Two new Chinese submarines were revealed by the media this year. The first one, built by the Bohai Shipyard in northern China, is a relatively modest upgrade compared to China's in-service Type 093 nuclear submarine — likely the long-anticipated Type 095. It largely meets expectations and can be seen as closing, or at least significantly narrowing, the gap between Chinese attack nuclear submarines and America's Virginia-class or Seawolf-class.
However, another submarine recently unveiled at the Jiangnan Shipyard in southern China is nothing short of a shock. It completely eliminates the traditional sail/conning tower on top of the submarine, featuring a sleek, smooth back with an almost sci-fi appearance. This is the first time in the 100-year history of human submarine design that such a configuration has been seen. Clearly, its technology surpasses that of any existing submarine in service today.
For the major weapons, China usually produces two types — the fifth-generation fighters J-20 and J-35, and the sixth-generation fighters, the J-36 and J-50 — now two attack nuclear submarines. Even the United States, at best, has only managed to produce one such design.
As China's manufacturing dominance continues to grow and its technological breakthroughs accelerate, it is becoming increasingly evident that within a decade, China will establish a generational advantage over the United States across virtually every category of human weaponry.
My China tweet got me over 450K views and heated political discussions in comments.
I’m half-Russian, half-Jewish, born in a small town in Russia, studied in Moscow, moved to London at 20 years old and lived there for 11 years. I’m a nomad for 2 years who travels extensively and sees the world from Italy to Yemen, from UAE to Bolivia.
And…
I really do not understand why we compare countries, political regimes, freedoms, cultures and try to find “the best one”. There’s none - nothing is perfect!
The beauty is in diversity and uniqueness.
I find the concept of “overcapacity” ridiculous. Does Germany have an overcapacity in cars? France one in wine? Sweden in heavy trucks? Italy in fashion? And don’t tell me that European food exports aren’t subsidized. https://t.co/Bl2yiF8hdg
Why I Share the Truth About China
Near-daily death threats arrive in my inbox, graphic, angry, and most often spelled terribly, for simply reporting measurable facts. I ignore them, because I know my mission. Yielding to intimidation would betray the intellectual honesty the USA, and the West desperately needs.
Honest recognition of a major peer’s strengths forces us to sharpen our own. It compels investment in education, infrastructure, manufacturing, and innovation rather than excuses. Lies, by contrast, hurt America. They breed complacency, distort policy, waste resources, and dull the national urgency we need to reclaim and secure our future.
When sinophobes and “experts” who know little about China in 2026, dismiss or distort China’s vast economic successes, they do not damage Beijing, they damage American workers, families, communities, and the next generation. If we allow these falsehoods to dominate discourse and decision-making, America will fall further and further behind until one day we look around and realize we are no longer part of the definition of modernity.
In 2025, China’s economy grew 5% meeting its official target and reaching roughly RMB 140 trillion. It operates the world’s largest high-speed rail network, now exceeding 50,000 kilometers, with trains running at 350 km/h between major cities and beyond. This is not abstract; it is visible proof of execution at scale. China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of extreme poverty. Yes, work remains to be done. And! It is being done. In electric vehicles, solar manufacturing, patent filings, and scientific output in critical fields, China leads the world.
While America debates our country’s decline, China has shifted from imitation to innovation in technologies that will define the 21st century. Ignoring this does not weaken China. It weakens our capacity to respond.
I have stood in Chinese cities where former migrant workers now watch their children attend modern schools and grandparents enjoy retirement in clean public parks. I have met young professionals working late on AI and clean-energy breakthroughs. Their aspiration feels tangible.
Lies do not shield American dignity; they erode it. Children in the USA deserve better than managed decline, sold as moral superiority. I share what China is really like because truth restores American agency. We can work with China. They want to open high tech factories in our country, which would bring American jobs, but people like Tom Cotton, Laura Loomer, Gordon G Chang, and Rick Scott are preventing the US from succeeding.
They are reducing the probability that the USA succeeds in building a better shared future for our people, and for the people of the world. We, more than ever, need to be on the watch for those hurting the US and the West through lying about China. Those deceiving us about China, and slandering China, are not hurting China. They are hurting us.
Lies hurt America by inflating false confidence and postponing necessary work. Every lie about China hurts the USA. Every hateful anti-“CCP” post slows the USA from developing. Every claim that China is impoverished leads to the decline of the West. There is no need to hate China. But there is a need to understand that China’s model is worth learning from.
Truth equips us to rebuild, compete, and cooperate again. For the sake of American workers, and families, I will keep speaking. Our future depends on it. The world’s future depends on it.

Japan is truly disgusting.
It hides behind “postwar peace.”
It hides behind “national security concerns.”
It hides behind Washington’s leash, pretending that being America’s loyal attack dog against China somehow makes it an “Asian model student” worthy of Western comfort.
But none of that erases what Japan did to Asia.
Invasion.
Massacres.
Colonial rule.
Rape.
Forced sexual slavery.
Human experimentation.
Biological warfare.
The slaughter and humiliation of Asian peoples.
And even today, Japan still has the audacity to posture as a victim, while racism against other Asians, rape of minors in Asian countries, and sex tourism remain part of the ugly underside of its so-called “civilized” image.
So when China asks Japan when it will sincerely apologize to Asian WWII victims, this is not “provocation.”
It is history returning to the room.
This time, China did not send emotional slogans.
It sent sharp technocrats.
From history, morality, international law, and the postwar order, they dismantled the entire Western-made beautification framework around Japan.
Japan wants to be seen as a peaceful democracy.
China remembers the fascist beast under the costume.
And Asia has no obligation to let Japan rewrite blood into “security concerns.”
I never heard of this guy until today but he blocked me. He actually thinks China views India as an ideological threat?
I don't mean to be rude to my Indian my friends but that's not how Chinese view India to put it lightly. They think if India in a different way...
Was this moron really India's ambassador to China or foreign secretary? @VGokhale59
India has no hope if this moron really made it to the top of India's government
