Is the latest Hydrogen Bomb testing by China, a start of another Cold War?
Or is it Chinese frustration mounting to a new high?

@4meAndyou On eo fthe main rules odf warfare: never underestimate the enemy.
Nor misunderstand him.
Their tendency to stress saving face is a matter of Asian culture, not a "psychological problem" at all. It is their way and anyone else has to accept that.
They are "not the best and strongest"? In what ways and compared to whom or what? Other countries making similar claims for themselves?
China is second only to the USA for economic and political power, possibly also military might as a single nation, in the world; and is determined to be top. Helped by her own, utterly ruthless governmental system built for longevity and continuity, she has the patience, stability, skill and likelihood to achieve that.

@ArishMell As far as I have seen the pattern, Any invention first comes from western nations and is copied by China and then via free T-O-T, it gets to other nations.

@DanielsASJ Very much so.
Japan did the same thing in the 1950s and 60s - but then used the stolen designs and their own, early low quality, as a springboard to developing their own, generally much better versions under very strict QA systems.
Whether China will do that, I would not like to say. It has a reputation for low quality but I suspect it is not quite that simple.
