lol, shit that was not subtle. i thought it would be like an obvious Diaoyu/Senkaku archipelago visual.
nope, fucking tokyo.
edit: on the world stage, the PRC has long given me these diplomatic, non-aggressive vibes. i mean compared to the US, obviously, but even compared to the atlanticist powers, with their mercenaries and their co-signing of US bullshit with troops. or even the russian federation, which is kinda the poster child for hard power anymore. no shade, i get it.
meanwhile, China’s diplomacy is consistently defensive and willing to back down, like they accept that peaceful resolution is what’s best for humans and not worth sacrificing for something so ephemeral as nationalist mythmaking.
i get the impression that whatever dumbass country leadership is the first one to really pull their chain and provoke a serious reaction is going to be made an example of, and i just hope im not in the area.
Is it possible that this was released without government sign-off? I know about them generally taking a seat on the board but not every ad is shown to the board prior to release, right?
you got me. it says its a private company’s marketing material, and i would assume it would land them in hot water as being to provocative or something, but shy of some.government official admitting they OK’d it, i dunno if we can really know.
On the other hand, this could be saber rattling with plausible deniability
It has nothing to do with the government

Yeah, it definitely feels like a contradiction to have a private military contractor turning up the rhetoric like that.
This seems like a marketing campaign capitalising on China-Japan tensions to try get the PLA to purchase the missile. The DF-17 already exists and is in service, has undergone successful testing showcasing maneuvers at hypersonic speeds within the atmosphere, and does everything this can and more.
sheeeesh yall chill

They’ve really ramped up the military short vids on WeChat
I’ve heard from a few Chinese friends that things these days feel pretty different to how they did just a few years ago, seems like everyone over there knows it is not a matter of “if” but “when” the US attacks them.
Pretty bleak
I am calling the volcel police on myself preemptively in case they make a video dropping a few missiles on American aircraft carriers or Tel Aviv!
