What do we need interceptors for if your missiles can't reach us? Oh yeah it's the commies' own "compatriots" who deal with all the risks of getting shot at. Apparently we love China more than you do, if you'd sooner kill them than allow them to not be communist.
I don't have any missiles...except an airgun and crossbow for hunting rabbits and Turkeys.
The NZ military has a few old cargo planes and Korean war era tanks.
We prefer to trade than bomb people.
We sure as hell do not want to join in the Zionist Greater Israel -Big Oil war crimes US-Israeli military are now engaged in.
China will not supply US military industrial combine with rare earths and other essential supply chains because China knows USA has lost the trade war and its only alternative is military aggression and attacks upon Chinese trading partners.
The Chinese remember the Opium Wars and have learned and prepared how to respond to western imperialism.
'The practical realities of military operations form the next strategic layer – war logistics. Sun Tzu devoted significant attention to supply lines, equipment maintenance, and resource management, recognizing that even the most brilliant strategy fails without proper logistical support. His calculations about requiring “a thousand fast chariots, a thousand heavy chariots, and a hundred thousand armored troops” with corresponding supply needs demonstrate sophisticated understanding of military economics.'
You are right- state capitalism can be done sloppily but it can also be done well.
Chinas annual trade surplus is $1 Trillion dollars.
USA has not had a trade surplus for 50 years.
USA cannot build any more Interceptors because it has no refined rare earths.
China will not supply any buyer who may end up providing them to the US military.
Iran and Hezbollah can knock out US-Israeli targets with $7000 Shahed drones and USA cannot replace them.
