On August 13, The Independent published an article: "The world only notices that China's economy is rapidly rising, but it does not know that China's military achievements are even more shocking. In just 20 years, China has built 50 airborne early warning aircraft and electromagnetic catapult aircraft carriers, while we are left with the dying 'Kuznetsov' aircraft carrier. Russia's glory has become history!"

[Witty] In recent years, China's military field has developed rapidly, achieving remarkable results. In just 20 years, besides building nearly 50 airborne early warning aircraft, China also has the Fujian aircraft carrier with electromagnetic catapult, and has also produced core equipment such as the J-20, Liaoning aircraft carrier, Shandong aircraft carrier, Type 99A main battle tank, Y-20, Wing Loong II, 055 destroyer, Y-20 refueling aircraft, and DF-41 missiles. These powerful weapons have made China stand tall and be on par with the US!

A comment stated that behind this impressive achievement list lies the relentless efforts of Chinese scientific researchers and the country's emphasis on national defense construction. Looking at Russia, its only "Kuznetsov" aircraft carrier is constantly experiencing problems, and the path of maintenance and upgrading is full of obstacles, even rumors about possibly being abandoned have emerged. Once a naval power, Russia suffered heavy losses in the Ukraine war, with the Black Sea Fleet losing over one-third, and now it is in a difficult situation in aircraft carrier development.

Military development reflects comprehensive national strength. China's stable economic growth provides a solid material basis for military research and equipment upgrades. Meanwhile, Russia's economy faces challenges, affecting the modernization of military equipment. Additionally, China places great importance on talent cultivation and technological innovation, with a large number of excellent talents joining military research, achieving breakthroughs in many key technologies. In terms of talent and technological innovation, Russia is relatively lagging behind.

China's military rise is the result of all-round efforts, offering lessons to other countries: stable economy, attention to talent and technology, are important supports for military development!
