I think Hungarian has similar problem with Rosatom Nuclear Plant but French are going to solve it.

Those are automated control systems to monitor and control the reactor itself. The Russians and Chinese make those as well. It is just that sometimes the client insists on a particular supplier, and Hungary did that originally. In this case it could also be because Siemens has been winding down its nuclear business altogether.

So this is the "definitely military goods and not dual-use" that Campbell was talking about yesterday? Why you can charge the enemy lines with CNC machines? How many FPVs can they take? Can you cover them with ERA?
This whole report is written based on ukraine what ever telling them. I doubt there is even few clear videos of interception out of several thousands missile fired and there estimation of glide bomb is on lower side. i think its like 4000 bomb per month.

on page 25.
Sample interception rates for commonly used Russian missiles in 2024: 50% for the older Kalibr subsonic cruise missiles, 22% for modern subsonic cruise missiles (e.g. Kh-69), 4% for modern ballistic missiles (e.g. Iskander-M), 0.6% for S-300/400 supersonic long-range SAM, and 0.55% for the Kh-22 supersonic anti-ship missile. Data on interception rates of hypersonic missiles is scarce: Ukraine claims a 25% interception rate for hypersonic Kinzhal and Zircon missiles, but Ukrainian sources also indicate such interceptions require salvo firing all 32 launchers in a US-style Patriot battery to have any chance to shoot down a single hypersonic missile. By comparison, German Patriot batteries have 16 launchers, and Germany has 72 launchers in total.

The bad sentiment is the goal for multiple reasons - it freezes trade & investment relationships with China, it makes it prohibitively difficult for nearly every politician and business leader to advocate for improving U.S.-China relations, it moves the Overton window to far more hostile policy propositions very few people would’ve entertained previously, and it gives a blank check to deep state agencies to do whatever the fuck they want in re US-China relations. See for example, Walz’ trips to China being absolutely politically toxic.

Permanently freezing U.S.-China relations is the goal and rheylll do that by locking out every constituency that could possibly favor improving the relationship (local governments, exporters, etc). The amount of people who took the “Chinese influence” or whatnot seriously were the point - if the same thing were from any other country (ex: had Gotion been Japanese), it would be widely celebrated and welcomed, but since China has been deemed the bete noir of US politics, Gotion in Michigan is asked to leave (and with that, there is no permanent political constituency of West Michigan local governments, the State of Michigan, supplier networks, regional universities, and House reps that would thus support selfishlessly U.S.-China relations)
No, you're short-sighted again. Freezing US-China relations or preventing investment/cooperation isn't the goal; it's the method. The goal is to reverse the trend of China's economy and tech catching up and overrunning America's now questionable lead. Implementing the method is easy; anybody can fuck up their relations with anyone else. But obtaining the desired effect is the challenge and one that America has failed miserably by spurring China's indigenous innovation drive that was nowhere near as vigorous before the tech and trade wars.

China Asks Its Carmakers to Keep Key EV Technology at Home​

  • Firms encouraged to export knock-down kits, assemble locally
  • India, Turkey mentioned specifically with regard to investment
haha thats for you people who thought that China is stupid. if randoms in the internet know what will happen to Chinese investment in India, why would you think the elite upper elechon leadership won't also know..
China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) held a meeting with more than a dozen automakers in July and told them not to make any auto-related investments in India, Bloomberg said in the report today, citing people familiar with the matter.
In addition, automakers looking to invest in Turkey should first notify the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which oversees China's EV sector, and the Chinese embassy in Turkey, according to the report.

Theoretically that can be true.

What you are doing is making a big assumption, that the Americans actually know what they are doing, and have a plan or strategy to deal with China.

What these American politicians doing this week with their legislation, is just a big pep rally for themselves before a football game. A political rally is not a plan.

Case in point, the United States always bugs China about re-establishing their military hot line or something like that. The Chinese would rather not talk to them, but I guess the United States being such a nuisance finally relented and had some direct military talks with the Americans this past week. Do not expect that to last. Then that Sullivan character went all the way to Beijing last week. Nobody knows what he wants or what is doing there. No one cares.

If China is so toxic for the Americans, then why the highest levels of US power, the military and White House, goes out of their way to engage with China. This contradiction cannot be easily explained away. The logical conclusion is that they are clueless. We have seen such American behaviour before, such as Vietnam, I-raq, Afghanistan.

Here is a short 6 minute video.

It outlines how the United States legislative branch intends to ban DJI drones, at the bequest of various people and departments in the United States, but there will be waivers to this law, so that the military and law enforcement in the United States can continue to buy and use DJI drones.


Anyone who has dealt with the Chinese before, already knows what the Chinese will do.

The Chinese will lodge a protest through official channels, then the Chinese will continue to sell DJI drones to the Americans for money.

Dayum, I feel like there's opportunity here to use AI to con some money, assuming you live in a place that CIA can't reach.
It’ll have to be a variation of this

Something people are not really realising yet is that India is starting to soften its attitude toward China and Chinese investments

A lot of rumours and hints that it's reversing course

This is because they realised they can't do without Chinese expertise in technology and manufacturing after the lackluster Make In India initiative
they’re still trying to exclude Chinese yuan from settlement and being all around Anglo bitches, and they haven’t even compensated TikTok nor Xiaomi for stealing money from them. Adani can spend hundreds of millions of dollars on his mansion in the slums, and trying to buy a Kenyan airport but won’t invest in India, so anyone putting money into the Jai Hindustan is stupider than the sort of man who spends his money on hookers and booze, at least you can actually use your money for one of those things.
The US regime of Ukraine orders language patrols due to a steep fall in the number of people seeking Ukrainian language classes.

How do these waivers work in the United States?

I remember the United States government vs Huawei 5G war, and the United States government kept on granting waivers for their rural telecom companies that were slow to replace Huawei gear.

They make a law, then go right ahead and make a mockery of it.

But, you know, everyone is so used to the US government behaving this way, does not change anything. Who cares, right.

Farmers on a YT channel say DJI gets the job done much faster than a local brand.
