China has a new light tank.

Thanks for the link Joe.

I predicted this.  If you remember I said that when China finally turns its attention to armored vehicles that we'd be seeing things that our Soldiers and Marines would give body parts for...ok, thats a little dramatic but you get the point.

The Chinese have a new expeditionary light tank to match up with their Airborne and Amphibious forces.

I'm gonna run some basic numbers but excluding air power I would bet that they've achieved "firepower superiority" when you compare a given US Army or Marine Corps unit to its Chinese counterpart.

We better get our heads out of the counter insurgency op forever type thinking.  The future bad guys are gearing up.
