Don't think white phosphorus is outlawed or banned, just regulated...…
"International humanitarian law does not ban the use of white phosphorus outright, but there is a strict requirement that it be used only in areas clearly separated from civilians."

China doesn't care what is outlawed, banned, prohibited, etc. They do what they want, when they want. They do not accept any resolutions or verdicts that go against them.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

I am getting very interested in the latest generation of Rail gun technology. They have experimented with the tech for a while now, know it works, and are talking about how to mount it onto naval vessels.
Only limitations are line of sight targeting and electrical current upper limits. The same tech is replacing Carrier launch systems that currently use steam powered launchers and shuttles. The next generation Euro fighters are almost exclusively launched using electrical rail launch systems. They initially had problems and had a 10% failure rate... Supposedly that has been fixed. Pretty necessary when you consider the cost of one of the new fighters.

but the good part of that is, they also don't expect any other country to do so either! you won't hear them complaining in the UN. They never did complain about how close we were to the yalu and them in our war with N Korea but when they thought we were getting too close and not heeding their concerns to us, they flat out cut loose on us.....they will most assuredly do the same thing when they finally get enough of what we're doing with and for Formosa......it'll be katy bar the door time......don't really want to be alive when that goes down.....mac
