China missiles filled with water, not fuel: US intelligence. Xi seeking to root out corruption, prepare military for combat.
The US assessments cited several examples of the impact of graft, including missiles filled with water instead of fuel and vast fields of missile silos in western China with lids that don’t function in a way that would allow the missiles to launch
Absolutely hilarious.
Dictatorships and graft/incompetence… name a more iconic duo
Ooo communism and corruption, capitalism and exploitation, or just oligarchy and oligarchy.
Every single dictatorship ends up like this. It’s amazing.
Learned from Putin.
It will be less of a spectacle for outside observers, as Chinese officials tend to be disappeared, not suicided. When they fall out of favour they don’t often fall out of windows straight after.
