Imagine being so retarded to concentrate your leadership in a single location and actually not keeping it secret.

You realize that the standard way the military has been run has been run poorly, right? If this is a restructuring, it is long, long over due.

China has won the trade war.
Reverse engineering The Opium Wars.
China is now poised to reverse engineer the SWIFT trade payments system hegemony that funds the US military...via Hong Kong, CIPS and mBridge.
