About two years ago, I was watching a think tank panel discussion on US-China economic and technology relationship. This was when the Trump trade war against China was on-going and tech war had started. The panelists discussed about the Made in 2025 and then about China's aviation ambition, COMAC and all that. One of the panelists, James Lewis from CSIS, who was often quoted by media and press on China tech affairs, said that the global civilian aircraft market is barely enough for two players, and China should not enter the competition.

I guess I was quite impressed by his frankness and honesty, with no usual code words or phrases such as government support, state subsidies and any such things.
He is full of it.

The whole world is developing right now. Poor countries with large populations are becoming richer which will enable all these people to travel by air. All this will organically create a supercharged demand potential for Boeing and Airbus to tap on and sell them loads of aircraft and all the fabulous "maintenance" services (thats where the real money is ..).

In fact, I would say that, not 2, not 3, most probably the world can afford 4 world class aircraft makers.

The upcoming decades will give hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars to just these 2 companies

Can we put an end to the 'monkey' and other dehumanising comments? It will only encourage the 'othering' of the Indians, Americans and West. While their predecessors treated Chinese etc. races like that in the past (and some still are today) doesn't mean we have to go along with the exhausting nonsense. They are still people one way or another. Indoctrinated or otherwise. People here are usually highly educated so presumably we can overcome this.
When a people, because of their indoctrination -what I have termed “the abdication of individual interpretive authority’”- allow themselves to devolve from the level of humanity, i. e., rational, interrogative, and capable of learning and growth, by choosing either the level of the pack predator/scavenger, i. e., following the lead of the “alpha”, or the parasite, i. e., exploiting a host with no regard for the hosts health or survival, should we really consider the human “potential” that they, themselves, have voluntarily forsaken?

I was born, raised, and live in AmeriKKKa. It is my life’s experience that Anglo-Christian society is a sociopathic society that values, promotes, and rewards predatory, scavenging, and parasitic behaviors. As such, participants therein should be regarded with particular scrutiny as to their human “potential” Remember, every day, in AmeriKKKa, in numerous locations, AmeriKKKans, choose to interact with each other using gun violence as their means of communication.

I mean, really, are we to focus on the “humanity” of the Imperial Japanese Army’s behavior in China, or the Nazi SS’s in Europe?

IIRC, there were a couple Asians swept up in Operation Varsity Blues.

Given the amount of money those parents had though, makes you why they didn't just donate a new reading room to the library in USC or whatever (USC isn't exactly academically rigorous), and if you have a good accountant, that donation can be deducted from your taxes.
Yes but one case wasn't charged supposedly because they actually believed what they did was a legal avenue.

Where's the affirmative action for Asians for sports scholarships and the entertainment industry? I'm just saying if the West wants to play the victim/handout game, we should get stuff too like reparations for building railroads and the Chinese exclusion act too. It's all kabuki theater to voting blocks and honestly, Asians in America are too silent and divided compared to Blacks.
Yes, just like a lot of sports stadiums are built with public money so in professional sports there's probably a legal case of discrimination if they were forced to add Asian athletes but that would most certainly increase anti-Asian attack in the US.

Black people and East Asian people are hated\face racism in almost every part of the world (as I feel its not a white vs asian issue only) probably more than other minorities through no fault of their own

I feel it has to do with their distinct features which results in dehumanization

Cause with Muslims you can say the terrorism issue (although it doesn't justify racism) but those two communities were mostly victims of racism where I can't pinpoint a reason except for plain simple racism in human minds against people who especially don't look like tham

Its wierd that both these groups fight in the US when in reality both are subjects of deep seeted racism in US society and in wider world in general

Heart goes out em, hope both Africa and Asia prosper so we can see the David vs Galioth story where the small guy wins and saves the day

I made this argument when I was at work in Canada arguing against a black colleague of mine. He didn't like that I was complaining that there's hardly any ball players in the NBA and that there should be an athletic affirmative action thereby allowing participants from Asian backgrounds to enter and participate in North American sports like basketball. I also stated that's impossible for me to believe that there's no Asian athletes either in America or in Asia that's good enough to play in the big leagues.

After all, if economics is going to be factored with the inclusions of Asians the revenues generated from Asian countries and from Asian-Americans are quite substantial, which is why the NBA happily encourages it's players to tour China, the Philippines (basketball crazy country of 100Million) so the league like the NBA is more than happily taking our money but we're being told we ain't good enough to play in the league?
My colleague's reaction was predictably incredulous and mockingly said that Asians aren't that athletic enough or talented enough to play in the NBA. I retorded back and ask how and where is he basing this nonsensensical and frankly racist views from? Common sense!! He tersely replied.

Middle East is Muslim
Vast majority of muslims are sunni, Saudi is home to the "Vatican" of muslims- not to mention thier oil reserves that gives tham financial plus religious leverage

Iran is hardcore Shia, which makes it hard for regular muslims to accept it as a power center unlike Saudi which is an acceptable power center for all
Yet, Iran/Persia’s socio-academic matrix laid the foundation for the most accomplished female mathematician mind, ever (iInm), something no Arab country -and, particularly, Saudi Arabia will even be capable of for many decades. Iran has the historic cultural foundations to become a modern industrio-technical economy. Why else would the Anglo-American empire have invested so many resources (think Anglo-British Petroleum, Operation Ajax, and the maintaining of Pahlavi Dynasty), if there had been no expectation of greater dividends. The Shah’s Iran was the only country considered for export of the vaunted F-14 Tomcat, And, with some concessions, could be a potential export market for a FCx31 derived platform.

But Shah was successful because he was a secular

Shah was friends with both Pak and Saudi since he didn't interfere in religious hegammany of Saudi

This Iran is different, they actively challenge the religious hegammany of Saudia and because of that no major Muslim is thier Ally since the hegammany of minor sect is unacceptable to other muslim countries (remember Iran is not a secular country rn even though it's people are)

Including Pak, Egypt, Indonesia (although they just stay out) and almost every other Muslim country Iran is an outcast

You can't control middle east through an outcast unless Iran becomes secular and accept Saudi relgious hegammany I am afraid they'll stay a rouge regime in middle east and wider Muslim world
