  1. For the F-16s, every time they take off, they must first obtain permission from a controller in the US. They must file a pre-determined flight plan with the US. If the plan is to attack someone, they might not get permission to take off. All the missiles are locked. They must obtain permission before they can fire them.

  2. About Uyghur forced labor, the kicker is, that most of the cotton farming machines they use are made in USA. The John Deere company has 15 sales and service centers in Xinjiang ! Their machines sell for upward of US$500k each !

  3. The problem is not so complicated. You see, India is a fragmented country -- before the British came, there was no such a nation as India. The land was populated by hundreds of small kingdoms and fiefdoms, with different languages, customs and religions. Now that they are a country, they are still divided. For the scheming politicians, the easiest way to unite the people is to have a common enemy. If there is none, they will create one. And China is an easy target.

  4. I don't know who are their strategists, i just shake my head in disbelief: how can they even contemplate "decoupling" without first establishing their own supply chain?

  5. We also have to understand why Indians are not united -- before the British came, there was no such a country called India. The land was populated by many ethnic groups and controlled by different warlords and small kingdoms. Although the land is united now, the fraction still exists. That's why it is so difficult to build infrastructure that spans multiple states; The bickering is real.

  6. Talking about American sports, football is a territorial game where you physically fight for yards against your opponent. Baseball is a territorial game where you acquire bases through all means, including stealing.

  7. even if geo-fencing is required by law, DJI does not need to comply because its products are not for sale in the US.

  8.  @yaoliang1580  I know. I am waiting for the day when Blinken makes another smear, and the Chinese tell him on the spot to go packing.

  9. The US Midwest suffered a serious drought in the past few years. Many farmers had to cull their herd and many fields were abandoned. During the same period in the past few years, China built a network of thousands of miles of canals to move water to wherever is needed. America has the capability to do the same, yet they are restricted by state laws to do so: they are not allowed to transport water across state lines.

  10. This is a very progressive nation.

  11. Meanwhile, the Chinese cars got so much free hype, that it is a billion-dollar pre-launch advertisement gift for them.:face-blue-smiling:

  17. That's Version 2.0 of the 1923 Chinese Exclusion Act.

  18. When the POTUS makes 100+ Executive Orders a year, year after year, without the oversight of the Senate or the House, that's very Autocratic to me.

  19. I am shocked, and dismayed, that they would block him from everything just to shut up the truth.

  20. too sensitive to the French as well. :face-blue-smiling:

  21. If they allow Chinese EV import, the BYD Seagull will push the Honda Civic aside to become the most popular vehicle in the US.

  22. The Art of War -- Do not interrupt your enemy when he is making a fool of himself.

  23. No matter what. We will EXCEL !

  24. China initiated the BRI, but the BRI is not China-centric. The BRI is a two-way street. The BRI is a multi-directional network. Anyone can hop on it and go in any direction he wants.

  25. Ukraine FM's meeting is important. It shows that Ukraine is shaking off the US and wants to take back direct control of its country's future. It also shows China will take a pivotal role in the resolution of the conflict.

  26. They are offering buyouts to homeowners. That shows how serious is the matter.

  27. China does not call itself a developing country. It is a designation defined by certain Western NGOs.

  28.  @DrakeLimOfficial  . . . and not just poverty alleviation in China, but they are extending their hands to other needy nations.

  29. Nulani has so much dislike for Ru, that she lost sight of the big picture that China is the real challenge. Raimondi has so much dislike for Cn, that she lost sight of the big picture that Ru is the real challenge.

  30. Oh no, this is going to suck away a good portion of the money that was destined for the US treasuries. ie the US interest rate will go up again !

  31. Even if they can duplicate the success, it will take them 20 years to reach where Cina is today. By that time, Cina will be at another level.

  32. So much for 『Rule-Based International Order』.

  33. :hand-pink-waving: 遙遙領先！

  34. you have to change the UN charter.

  35. *Win-Win* Cooperation is the ONLY WAY.

  36. You will also find the govt is a shareholder of major companies. That's how they maintain economic stability by steering the companies toward long-term goals instead of short-term quick profits.

  37. Life is a Tic Tac Toe game with the Capitalists -- You could never win. Sooner than later, they own everything you have.

  38. Even if they can pull up their socks and start working hard today, it will take them 30 years to get to where Cina is today, because that's how long it took Cina to make this achievement. By that time, Cina will be at another level.

  39. Instead of fighting China, they should work with China and learn from China. There are lots of opportunities out there. Take the example of Brazil, they bought 40,000 Chinese EVs last year. That's 10 boatloads of EVs !!! These sales could go to European EVs too, if they tried !

  40. I wonder who is negotiating from a position of strength ? (remember Alaska?)

  41. They say, we are not trying to decouple. The reality, they are trying to do selective decouple. :face-blue-smiling:

  42. *Decoupling is on Schedule.* One bit at a time.

  43. The Ph ppl are not Taking the Bait. It is the big guy on the take. When the free money runs out, which is happening right now, the situation will return to normal. It is the hard reality.

  44. It is a step, but I doubt it is a step closer to Peace. There are still too much Me Me Me and not a single concern about the other side. Until they are willing to listen to the other side's concern, which is their security, there won't be a resolution to the conflict.

  45. Steel production: Cn=1.35 billion tons, us=70 million tons. 20x Cement production: 35x Shipbuilding: 232x

  46.  @MrMingsyin  where is the value proposition???? They have survived 30 years of sanctions. None of the sanctions had caused any pain to them. Removing a non-pain sanction provides no incentive to them. You have to come up with a better deal.

  47. China has a Non-Alliance Policy. They can do drills and exercises together, but no military alliances.
