They must mean, it was already won for China. If the US can’t break Iran, they definitely can’t break China.
China certainly learned things from this lol but it definitely wasn’t that the US should be feared; it broke most of it’s teeth on just this brief war alone.
Lol exactly. Iran demonstrated that you don’t even need the best tools to make the declining US hurt and retreat, and China has an even more powerful arsenal than Iran.
the us didnt even land an invasion force, dont underestimate them. next to china they have taiwan and occupied korea as their invasion bases and could launch a real invasion not “just” bombings.
Their problem with occupied Korea would be the existence of free Korea before they reach the Chinese border.
The same argument could have been made much more credibly for the US bases in the Gulf before this war, but what we actually saw was that those bases turned out to be liabilities and sitting ducks for Iranian missile and drone target practice.
At no point in this war were they able to mass enough ground forces anywhere near Iran to invade even a small island like Kharg.
Any bases in Taiwan, Japan or occupied Korea, all would face the same fate except ten times worse because China’s capabilities are incomparably larger. Massing an invasion force while Chinese satellites see everything and tens of thousands of Chinese missiles and drones can hit everything is basically suicidal.
Showing China who’s the boss by displaying how capable I am at being an unrepentant baby killer
