*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* The climactic struggle for control of Hill 255 in July 1953 pitted thousands of determined Chinese troops against gritty U.S. soldiers. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The battle for the hill became, in many respects, a campaign dominated by artillery, mortar fire, and tactical air strikes. The tennis-shoed soldiers emerged from the darkness on July 6, 1953, like a “moving carpet of yelling, howling men [with] whistles and bugles blowing, their officers screaming, driving their men” against the Americans as they swept up Hill 255, recall...
The J-16D Electronic Warfare Aircraft is China’s Latest Step Towards Pacific Supremacy
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* The J-16D variant—the “D” in the designation comes from the Chinese word for “electronic,” diànzǐ—made its first flight on December 18, 2015. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Beijing is not interested in foreign wars at this time.

And while there were no engineer buttons at Helm’s Deep – a simple oversight, I’m s...
China Has a National Economic Growth Goal. Why Can't America?
James Pethokoukis, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*James Pethokoukis* *economy, Americas* [image: Reuters] I like the idea of a nation’s leader not only setting a growth target, but making a big deal of it. Chinese President Xi Jinping recently set a goal of doubling the size of China’s economy by 2035. To hit that target, the Financial Times calculates, the Chinese economy must generate average annual GDP growth of just over 4.7 percent over the next 15 years vs. 6.7 percent over the previous five years. Maybe that seems pretty doable. But the FT argues the task is harder than it might seem due to the nation’s debt and demograp...
