In New World Order 1990 for Western New World War with new vision is China is coming in the target after Middle East (Iraq, Lybia, Yemen, Aghanistan, Syria and Iran now) as you see 60% of United States army moved near China until they discover new weapon like Nuclear weapons not Russia but Russia after that will be alone so Russia will an easy target for the West so Russia needs to increase the relation with China and not trust The West to stay longer from Western Colonists.

Unlike Russia where the ideals of communism and collective goal gave way to the new condition of apathy and drug use—in China the nation is well prepared for the coming confrontation with the imperialists.

That is not any NEWS!!!
Boot-camp s in Chinese universities started during Mao regime and not only limited to universities, but starting in preschools too. Communist Party has a spacial brainwashing program that start with 6 year young children.                                                                                                 
What is worst, Chinese CommuTalism (COMMUnistic-capiTAL ISM) has pretension to economically, political and military control/conquer rest of the World. A Chinese artists Ms. Seahawk Wang-Radojcic has depicted that in series of paintings. To review FUTURE China's expansion, please visit QUANTUM ART at http://quantumart.we bs.com/

Russia had better get ready. It's just a bunch of Chinese university students taking army drill practice today, but a country with an export economic mentality and insufficient raw materials to feed their production capacity will be looking for vast resources in the future. It's not too hard to figure out where the main source will be in the Chinese leadership eyes. Same place the Germans looked for new lands and resources.   These drills may seem pertinent to actual military combat practices, but it really isn't. Young boys (and even girls) who hunt and fish (which is actually outsmarting and  killing their wary prey) to feed themselves and their families are far more adept in practical combat arms than these Chinese students will ever be with this type of rote practice. A super soldier like Vasilli Zaitsev or Sergeant York never learned their skills in standard military drills. They brought their skills with them into the military.   The drills these Chinese students practice has an effect on molding them into a cohesive unit, but it teaches almost nothing of the myriad special skills that a modern military unit needs to be effective under wide ranging demands. That is learned over years of time as young people are growing up. The female snipers of the Red Army during WWII are an example. They were volunteers who already had developed the skill of precision marksmanship. Having not had the university military training these Chinese students receive, they were effective nevertheless.

I am American, and I am a veteran of the U.S Armed Forces. I will not tell you what branch, but I will tell you that "boot camp" is one of the most beneficial expericnes that I have ever had in my life thus far. I never knew that I could acheive so much. I am in my 20's now, and my mind has been broken out of a low-quality mold into a higher quality-mold. At first I did not appreciate the roughness of the military style, but the benefits of a little "rouging up" can be seen when the real world is much easier than the roughing up I received in boot camp.
