In July 2024 China transported soldiers 3,000 miles away into Belarus. They conducted joint training exercises only 1.7 miles away from NATO member Poland's border and 40 miles away from the border with Ukraine. Does this mean its time to sound the alarmist alarm? The chinese are coming the chinese are coming!

The reason this has made world news headlines is because of the implication. Beijing hasn’t done a mission like this since 2015. The timing of this drill indicates the CCP is sending a warning message to the United States that they are prepared to deploy troops to fight against NATO in Europe. BUT it begs the question, COULD they actually project power into Europe? How many troops could they deploy and sustain that far away from their borders and how long would it take them to build up combat power?
