China unveils an array of new arms in huge anniversary parade

“There is no force that can shake the foundation of this great nation,” Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Tuesday in a speech commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party’s rule. He pledged to “maintain long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao” while staying committed to the strategy of peaceful reunification and ’One Country, Two Systems,” as protests against Beijing continued in Hong Kong.

The anniversary was marked with splendid pageantry and a huge military parade, with some 15,000 personnel taking part and 160 aircraft and 580 pieces of military equipment showcased, including drones and missiles. The parade ended with the unveiling of the Dongfen 41, a nuclear-capable missile, which analysts said could reach the US in 30 minutes. The DF41 is described as China’s next generation ICBM, with an estimated range of 12,000-15,000km and the capacity to carry a payload of 10 warheads to any point in the United States.

      Lifetime Emperor Xi Jinping Just Saving Face From Humiliations Of Hong Kong Protests, Mistakes On American-Sino Relations, Rule Against Political Enemies, Seeking To Increase Downward Popularity, But Really Just Trying To Lead CCP’s Struggle against USA That China Is Losing Every Day Since 2017

      China’s new missile can do nothing anymore than the Russian or American land-based ICBM’s, a US Minuteman III can be parked in their driveway before going boom, next we have the next link of the triad, the US Trident D-5 missiles submarine-launched ICBM’s, parking our subs offshore placing missiles in china before they even realize they are already dead, and I would be remiss if I did not mention the third part of the triad, the US Air Force Strategic Bomber force of B-1, B-2, B-21. All are tried and proven technologies with unparalleled accuracy with years of practiced delivery to Russia. And who knows what else is on the drawing boards. The US in recent years has focused on intercepting and shooting down incoming missiles with new technologies to take down hypersonic’s. So china gets a new ICBM so what big deal, you write the world is ending, not by this announcement or today, oh hum, this was fun.

        The missiles will not be stopped. Two highly accurate prophets, the late Dimitru Dudaman & Henry Gruver have both told of seeing the future incoming missiles & the response from the USA was stifled. Gruver also spoke of another prophet who said he also saw the same vision of missiles striking USA land. Judgement always comes to God’s children FIRST when they re disobedient. Only a small remnant will be saved by God, who will then punish the punishers.

      Washington Concentrates On Antimissile Interceptions & Left The Missile-Limiting Treaty That Beijing Won’t Join. Global Warming Climate Change Will Do China In From its Own Pollution. As Well As, Arming Taiwan With Nuclear Weapons Just Minutes From China! Wasteful Efforts, Wasteful, Spending & Waste of China Time! https://nationalinterest.org/feature/xi-jinping-will-usher-dark-age-china-84781

    According to Jerry Pournelle a rise in Chinese power in region will drive Russia to USA. The result will be
    military might in space. Ultimately the world is dominated by Co-Domination by the major military powers
    uniting together. NATO/Russia.

    From the Debka article:

    “The DF41 is described as China’s next generation ICBM, with an estimated range of 12,000-15,000km and the capacity to carry a payload of 10 warheads to any point in the United States.”

    Just wondering how well it would hold up if intercepted by a laser weapon?

      You mean the unproven laser weapon still on the drawing board?

      The Patriot system doesn’t work so well with a few missiles. In a real war situation, it’s basically useless.
