Every goma is a policy analyst for defense and Foreign Policy studies at the Cato Institute in washington d. C. He says that military parades are a message to the u. S. In particular if you look at the long history of china from the p. R. C. It was 1st established 70 years ago to now that china is no longer this sort of defense backwater or underdeveloped country in that regard and that theyve invested considerable resources in the parade the military assets came 1st and the party has invested considerable resources in making sure that they have the military capabilities to reflect their rise as a general power and this this military rise is also i think a big focus of concern among the United States and also other regional countries Chinas Nuclear force structure is not very much like the United States theyre not trying to match in terms of number of warheads but theyre trying to keep an arsenal thats significantly smaller but has a guarantee of surviving 1st strikes and retaliating and as the United States has become more concerned about chinas rise i think there is a tendency to see Nuclear Developments as particularly threatening because china is fielding new systems and there is a tendency to sort of overhype what they mean or misunderstand what they mean.
