Chinese concrete...what could go wrong?

Decrease in young population is a bad thing, especially as the population ages and the working middle section is too small to support both. It’s a recipe for collapse of a society with lots of elderly just rotting away, while working-age parents try to patch the holes juggling child care, critical systems functions, the economic activities, and managing their parents who can’t take care of themselves. One Child Policy created this devastating mess.

There have been several generations of high temperature, high pressure turbine blade metallurgical evolutions. It's all about creating a blade that can withstand and sustain high temps, while spinning at thousands of RPM, without growing or fracturing. Then consistently form these blades with repeatable performance in thousands of engines. The US developed a secret technology of single crystal growth using electromagnetism and microscopic orifices in the moulds. Our HTHP blades are something out of a science fiction novel, with very difficult layers of institutional knowledge to duplicate. We developed that technology in the 1980s, and have pushed the performance envelope further since that time with F119, F135, and AETP motors now. China placed moles in GE, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls Royce to steal everything they could, many of whom were arrested for espionage. Innovators vs imitators....

@JuanPassiveMenis Japan is already in demographic winter, but what Japan did from a manufacturing perspective was locate a lot of their facilities in other countries, from Asia to the US and Europe. For example, there are 14 North American manufacturing facilities in mainly the US, with a few in Canada and Mexico. Both of my Toyota vehicles were made in Indiana. Toyota alone has 9 factories in Asia outside of Japan, 8 in Europe, 5 in South America, and 1 in South Africa, plus a bunch of joint venture plants all over the world. Japan diversified their manufacturing sector geographically, while maintaining corporate ownership and control. China is trying to keep as many people employed in China as possible while increasing domestic consumption to fuel their own economy, but older people don’t have income to spend on fueling that, so they’re really screwed in this respect.

Chinese labor peaked in 2015. After 35 years of One Child infanticide policy, their prime age worker base was significantly reduced by hundreds of millions. That undercut their demographic stack, which reduced domestic consumption and export manufacturing simultaneously.

Ferarri body kit in a Lada. A Toyota would be far superior.

Chinese fishing is an ecological disaster for the planet.

Did you see the smoke pouring out of those engines? Looked like a MiG-29 or F-4. It’s the year 2024 folks, not 1969. This is embarrassing.

 @mitri5389 Imagine riding in a Chinese ship, hearing the hull creaking, then wondering about the quality of the welds and who was bribed to inspect it...or if it was inspected at all.

@潘隆利科 A jet engine is about 1000 times more difficult to build than a space station and the rockets that put the materials in orbit to assemble it. Rocket motors are easy compared to afterburning turbofans, and there isn’t much that is easy with rockets.

@adamkahn8645 COVID-19 was developed at UNC Chapel Hill, then moved to Wuhan in 2014 after chimeric research was banned. Original patents for SARS was done in 2002 by the same researchers, including Dr. Baric.

@gregoriosalazar1418 I was only referencing Toyota, not all Japanese companies. Your statement supports what I'm saying about Japan extending its manufacturing base all over the world.

@I_Art_Laughing People who don’t understand atmospheric barriers and RF antennae wave propagation say things like this. Meanwhile, every industrialized nation with the capacity to build combat aircraft and even ground-based systems is incorporating stealth features into their designs. AI is also overblown and not a thing other than advanced programming done by humans with specific parameters. Technical ignoramuses make a lot of claims with no substance to back them up.

@dongshengdi773 You're supporting my statement. Working-age younger people don't have much to spend when human capital is trying to prop up the elderly, raise the young, and keep society functioning. Capital spreads too thin, and the society stagnates or collapses.

@JAM661 The human population has more access to reliable food sources than at any other time in history. Climate change is cyclical and driven by factors other than human beings. Climate alarmist has no scientific basis in reality. Look up the Heartland Institute studies by teams of actual climatologists and retired senior NASA scientists who spent their careers studying weather and atmospherics.

@muramasa870 Both my Toyotas were made in Indiana.

 @automan1223 The US has been building military drones en masse since WWII. We have everything from autonomous space shuttle drones to underwater drones in the inventory.

@hohopapapa5130 The J-10C uses stolen technologies from the US: AESA Radar Active Seeker BVRAAM DSI Inlet The real takeaway from this whole Indo-Pakistani dust-up was that India was able to shut down Pakistani air bases with cruise missiles, cratering runways and destroying critical structures of each base. The Chinese Air Defense systems were useless at defending from that. Pakistan simply could not generate sorties anymore and had to stop flying.
