What you think of this?

Was it INDself developed? If it is, will antiCN entities ask for the tech?
India will always exaggerate their military capabilities in hopes you fall for it and give them more bargaining power.

However in a real war, they are gonna find out the hard way when none of it actually works and all the plans made around it fail. Reminds me when late Qing boasted about having a modern navy and look what happened when it was actually tested against Japan.

I don't know what's more funnier, that EU has been pretending to not know China has been making drones for Russia, or EU actually did not know China has been making drones for Russia... considering literally every FPV drone used for the last 2 years were made in China...

I do know that it would be hilarious if Europe sanctioned Chinese drone companies and all those Ukrainian orders gets diverted to Russia.
NATO needs these bureaucrats in Brussels like a dog needs five legs. There are crowds of talentless politicians who screw up in the parliaments of the EU countries and they are given a lifeline - a warm seat in the European Parliament. Europartocrats raise their own salaries according to the inflation index, that's how they should raise defence spending. But stop: don't spend millions on advisers from consultant firms where their children and other idlers work.

No, the chart is accurate. It isn’t a drop in agricultural output but a drop in KW power of agricultural machinery as indicated on the Y-axis. As shown in the statistics you proved for 2015-2016. Quantity of small tractors decreased while large and medium tractors steady increased. Then in 2018, there was a steep decrease in large and medium tractors with a rapid increase in small tractors. Raising energy output again. As for why then you have to ask someone else since it seems like an industry reason.
Large and medium tractors dropped after the decrease in KW.
Not necessarily bad data. The reduction in number can be caused by the followings:
  • Consolidation of small plots into flatter, bigger plots that are more suitable for large mechanical agricultural machineries.
  • Increased number of third party agricultural machinery service companies, reduce the need for individual farmers/villages to own machineries.
  • Increase usage of drones.
Yes but that doesn't explain 30% drop in a year. that's way too much, its most likely just bad statistics

China has their own intelligence network in Taiwan and they know the intention of the Taiwanese government very well.


As though the US has any experience fighting a peer adversary.

The US should remember that the size of China's auto market is about twice as big as its own.

The new Taiwanese submarine is a joke.
If Trump starts a trade war with China, Europe will suffer. EU politicians drive around in 200,000 euro cars, their salaries are enough to live comfortably, and they don't realize that they are destroying the middle class. Half of the population of Euperopa already buys only Chinese goods, they don't have enough money for more.

An interesting analysis of the recent Xi-Biden meeting. I suggest you to read it since it's not a long read but TLDR: Xi was extremely straightforward, listed 4 red lines: Taiwan, democracy/human rights, development path/system, and development rights. He very critical about US-China relations, and is signaling to Trump that changes are needed.

Bold of Xi to assume Biden still remembers anything after leaving the meeting room or when he gets back to Washington D.C.

I don't see where he is critical at all. These words reveal that the people Xi was representing at that particular meeting at least are soft on America. Or they're gaslighting US into thinking China is soft on them.

Personally I think it is a mistake to accommodate US in any shape or form in action, but in words it doesn't matter. As long as China can keep intelligence/geopolitical ops to stack the deck against US, the rhetoric used about US makes no difference.
