    Because other countries can’t respond appropriately unless they are aware. China would rather not be attacked, than wait to be attacked to reveal its capabilities.

      This is why Taiwan advertise everything they have. It’s effectively like being a porcupine, big spikes stick out so you don’t have to role up and take it.

      No point keeping secrets ahead of a fight you will no doubt lose if push come to shove. Lay it all out first and hope it’s enough that they think twice before trying.
