On the whole, the efforts of Western arms enterprises are of little significance, and at most they have only created some major or minor troubles for the Chinese arms enterprises.

As the saying goes, if you gather for profit, you will disperse because of profit.

Although Western arms companies, including Russian arms companies, are afraid of competitors from China, in essence, not all arms companies are willing to keep China out, because China is not only a major arms exporter, but also a major arms importer.

Because their respective interests are different and the means of obtaining benefits are different, Western arms companies are not the same rope when it comes to dealing with China.

For example, Russia and Ukraine are both parties to the "Wassenaar Agreement", but they have been selling weapons to China.

In addition, States parties such as Turkey and Argentina are importing weapons from China.

Fundamentally, China's arms industry will inevitably develop and grow in the footsteps of industrialization, and it is an irresistible trend for China's arms enterprises to enter the international market.

Neither sanctions, nor restrictions and containments can change this trend.

In fact, under the impetus of industrialization, sanctions will not only not be able to stop China's footsteps, but will also allow China's arms enterprises to break new ground.

In fact, this situation has already appeared.

Taking the most high-end military aircraft in the arms industry as an example, Huaxia has independently developed fifth-generation fighters, large transport planes, and airborne early warning aircraft, and is still selling these military aircraft overseas.

Even the military aircraft engine, which has the highest technical content and the most difficult to develop, has made a breakthrough in China.

In other areas, this is no different!

China's first purely domestic aircraft carrier has been launched, becoming a member of the aircraft carrier club, and it is the fourth country in the world to have a large aircraft carrier after the United States, Russia and the United Kingdom, and the only country in the world to develop electromagnetic catapults in addition to the United States.

If the construction capacity is the standard, Huaxia is the only country other than the United States that can build a large aircraft carrier on its own.

Including carrier-based fighters, China is also the only country other than the United States that can rely on its own capabilities to build a naval and air strike capability with aircraft carriers as a platform.

In the field of ground weapons, which is a traditional strength, a variety of foreign trade tanks of China have received orders from many countries.

In terms of the variety of foreign trade arms, China has surpassed the United States and is the only country in the world that can provide all weapons and equipment to overseas customers.

Let's not forget that the United States does not produce conventional submarines, and the Chinese conventional submarines have been exported to several countries.

This is the result of sanctions against China and the imposition of a military embargo on China?

Obviously, this result is diametrically opposed to what the West had originally envisioned.

In the words of the Internet, after another twenty years of sanctions and embargoes, Huaxia will have everything.

If sanctions and embargoes are ineffective or even counterproductive, then why continue?

In fact, in the camp of Western countries, there have long been voices of skepticism.

It's just that it is easy to fall the Iron Curtain, but it is extremely difficult to break the Iron Curtain.

As China's military industry grows and grows, it becomes more impossible to compete with Western arms companies for orders on a global scale.

If nothing else, just for their own interests, the arms enterprises of European and American countries will wantonly obstruct them.

Even if you know that sooner or later you will have to fight to the death with the Huaxia military industry, it is not now, and the longer it drags on, the better, after all, practical interests are the key.

It can be seen that this is the real problem faced by Wang Dong.

Before relying on the military intelligence bureau to get the technology of the buried bomb, D&F was an authentic Western company, and it had no necessary connection with China.

As for Wang Dong, Zhao Yu and others from China, it is not surprising that many Western arms companies have Chinese employees.

It's just that after getting the technology provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, especially Huaxia's unique binary propellant and stacked spraying and filling process, it will be different.

Even if D&F is still a British company in terms of capital, it is branded as "Huaxia".

In this context, is it still necessary to join the "arms tothra" with the practical purpose of curbing the Chinese military industry?

Even if there were, what benefits would you get from joining Arms Toslav?

Wang Dong is thinking about it, and he must think about it clearly.

With the strong rise of China's military industry, Western arms companies are seeking to change, but there are serious differences in the way of change.

As the absolute core, the US arms enterprises continue to advance on the original path, believing that strengthening containment methods, such as technical barriers, will consolidate their dominant position, ensure absolute superiority in various fields, at least high-end fields, and suppress China's military industry in the low-end field.

Over the past few decades, European arms enterprises have also moved forward on this path.

Whether it is to follow the US arms companies or to safeguard their own interests, European arms companies have indeed gained good opportunities for development.

The most representative is actually BAE Systems.

BAE Systems has grown well over the years by participating in projects led by U.S. arms companies, acting as a subcontractor or subcontractor.

As for other European arms companies, even if they are not as good as BAE Systems, they can taste some sweetness.

It's just that this situation is changing.

Brexit is one factor, but Russia's actions in Syria and China's economic expansion are also important factors.

While U.S. arms companies remain dominant, European arms companies are trying to change.

Of course, BAE Systems is no exception.

After Brexit, BAE Systems is no longer a European arms company, but a British arms company, and is regarded as an outsider by many European counterparts.

Obviously, the US arms companies will not treat BAE Systems as their own.

Although BAE Systems is doing well, how long can this situation last, or can it be sustained?

The answer is no.

From a market and technology perspective, BAE Systems has been eating into its old ways since Brexit, and it has hit a wall at every turn.

For example, the U.S. Air Force's B-X program explicitly mentions the need for a variable-cycle engine, and the only one who has mastered this technology today is GE, that is, General Electric of the United States, and BAE Systems' Rolls-Royce company is unlikely to develop a similar engine in the short term.

For another example, in the "Future Fighter" project in Europe, France and Germany are in charge, BAE Systems is only a participant, and even Britain is only a participant, and France and Germany have only invited Britain because France and Germany do not have the ability to produce advanced military engines.

Without seeking change, BAE Systems' good days will soon come to an end.

So, how to change?

Turning to the powerful United States?

Or a return to Europe?

Obviously, this is not a multiple-choice question, and both options are terrible, and the real way out may not be in these two options.
