This post seems important-if-right. I get a vibe from it of aiming to persuade more than explain, and I’d be interested in multiple people gathering/presenting evidence about this, preferably at least some of them who are (currently) actively worried about China.
As mentioned in another reply, I’m planning to do a lot more research and interviews on this topic, especially with people who are more hawkish on China. I also think it’s important that unsupported claims with large stakes get timely pushback, which is in tension with the type of information gathering you’re recommending (which is also really important, TBC!).
I feel this is a burden of proof situation like one can always argue due to lack of transparency in CCP, they are secretly trying even tho there’s little to no evidence as demonstrated in the article. What type of evidence is required to prove that China is NOT actively in an arms race? idk if it’s even possible to do so?

Oh to be clear I don’t think it was bad for you to post this as-is. Just that I’d like to see more followup
Gotcha, well I’m on it!
