That's not true. The US, also has a media apparatus controlled by the state
Agree ...
Good catch!
Yeah, we hear that a lot. But if our media was controlled by the state, you’d be begging for the days of MSNBC.
Anyone who hasn’t really comprehended Sun Tzu and Confucius does not have a prayer of understanding anything about the Chinese military.

” Unlike the US, China has a media apparatus controlled by the state, so its military reports lack the transparency established by a free press.”
The author fundamentally misunderstands the operation of the press in the US. It is an arm of the DemocRAT party which exclusively acts to protect it and destroy it’s enemies, which are freedom loving patriotic Americans. Transparent press my @zz.
When a major premise in your argument is flawed like this, there can't be much hope for the validity of the article, no matter what the author is trying to show.
All I need to know about the chinese military I learned from chinese products like hoverboards and motorcycles.
The real difference is that everyone in China KNOWS that the media is controlled by the state.
A lot can be learned from this photo. The uniforms and clothing of all are very similar, in fact duplicates of NATO and western uniforms. There is a very strong effort to appear to be cutting edge modern.
The presence of gloves is somewhat anachronistic, recalling scenes from Tora, Tora, Tora. When contrasted with the pics we see of the north Korean officers that wear the gaudy bemedaled uniforms that reflect the old China military, there is a striking difference.
It is common for journalists to heavily strike the themes of cyber war. Un mentioned and actually unknown are the day to day incursions into Chinese computer nets by our forces. Such activity is a closely guarded secret.
Thanks Free Trade for building up out enemies industrial base. Free trade; When you want to make money selling out your country. It is the way to go!
Looks like he dropped his right hand glove to shake hands.
Our media is often in collusion with the state. It’s different, but also destructive.
The MSM in this country are now nothing less than naked communist propaganda machines. Spewing disinformation, division and outright lies to keep folks off balance and divided...all at the behest of the ferrules.
Presstitutes and Polidiots are ..... doom on em all.
The RATagandists at ABCNNBCBS ARE controlled by the statist DNC/communists (which was recently revealed from hacked e-mails between The Washrag and network news editors)
As are the educRATs, the bureaucRATs, the courts, Hollywierd, and higher "education".
But then again, you probably know that.
The Japanese Navy could defeat the Chinese Navy more than 600 miles off shore.
And we publish our doctrine on-line for all to see. . . .BUT. . . we don’t slavishly follow it and that is our strength.
