No lol. If China was a “fierce and formidable competitor in almost all sectors”, there should be a Chinese equivalent of nearly every industrial and information firm listed in New York, but instead - it’s literally just “ooh look - Longi Solar, Xinjiang Goldwind, Huawei, SMIC, Piotech, CRRC, and CNNC.” - America is doomed, after all “startup over here is now competitive against [random tier U.S. industrial firm like Oracle]”.

China may be able to successfully commercialize its present research findings into competitive products, in due time, but that day is not today and that day won’t occur for years - simply because of the time needed for development, testing, iteration, and the same for product verticals - both upstream and downstream.

take for example, semiconductors. The ZTE Denial Order was put into place on July 18, 2018. It has now been more than 6 years since the “Sputnik” moment in China but even then, China lacks any appreciable market share in the fabless space or in equipment or in leading node foundry or in EDA, with some market share in trailing node foundry and memory (in fact, even with the ZTE denial order, Huawei entity list entry, and Oct. 7, 2022 action - China is still buying US semiconductors and wafer fab equipment hand over fist). The firms that do exist in China are small, lack scale (and will for years as construction takes time), and need to substantially improve nonfunctional requirements (reliability, serviceability, cost, scale, etc) in order to be remotely competitive anywhere they don’t have captive markets. And this is with widespread public and private support and knowledge. Nearly a decade on and China is just starting to start scaling.

Now replicate this exact same story in dozens of sectors - scientific instruments, electronic gases, speciality chemicals, medical devices, capital/infrastructure software like OS/databse/cloud, specialty software (like what Schrödinger, AutoDesk, and ANSYS), pharmaceuticals, life science consumables (assays, syringes, etc), valves, ball bearings, avionics, large commercial aircraft, oilfield equipment, laboratory test services, pesticide manufacturing, gas turbines, agtech, fintech, etc, etc, etc.
90% = in almost all critical sectors:

I have to hand it to Lebanon for the remarkable job they've done removing China from their supply chains. Taiwanese/Hungarian pagers, Japanese walkie-talkies, they probably have Martian toasters. The US must be envious of this degree of decoupling.

Orders from middle east are flowing in. This guy's friend had to cancel the Mid Autumn festival dinner last night because it's all hands on deck at the factory. They make headphone and mic and all night they're getting orders from middle east customers with requirements like no 3rd party imported parts and every assembly step must be completed in China.

Looks like the blowback has arrived. 4D Chess moves from the Yakubians (westoids).

you are still missing the most important country.
I'm totally flabbergasted. I thought you were gonna say Saudi Arabia.

Aren't arabs and isreali the same people? After all they're both semites and islam and judaism is pretty similer with Kosher and Halal diets being almost identical.
Israelis claim to be Semitic based on their religion being Jewish which is a Semitic religion just like Islam and Arabs. But in reality, as @RedMetalSeadramon pointed out, Israel was founded by migrants from Eastern Europe who are of a Germanic stock, and later recieved migrants from Africa, middle east, and other parts of the world.

That Semitic origin theory quickly turned out to be flawed, so the Israelis began propagating the idea that Jewish is an ethnicity, not a religion. This second theory is what is common today but it's even more problematic than the first.

Shem, from which derives the word Semite, was a common ancestor of the Arab tribes and Israelites. Much later in history, one of the sub-tribes of the Israelites adopted Judaism and founded the Kingdom of Judah (Jew = from Judah).

Ashkenazi of Germanic stock is the predominant type of self-proclaimed Jew today. However, the Jewish Hebrew Bible states explicitly that Ashkenaz is NOT a descendant of Shem (i.e. Ashkenazi is not Semitic). So, you can guess from this alone how much information distortion and manipulation has to be done to legitimize Israelis.

Considering how much mistrust in Western media had increased in the past couple of years, making headlines like these is just going to make it worse. MSM damage control team has no idea how to handle it and are just sticking to the old doctrine of misinformation, much like the rest of their industries; "company is running, let it run, no need to innovate or adapt to changing times". Hallmark of decline.

Meanwhile, Chinese electronics are surely to benefit from this. First there was rising mistrust in Western government, then in media, now there will be mistrust in tech, and specifically in Western tech. Westerners might be forced to use Western tech due to sanctions and tariffs, but rest of the world will likely ditch the Western.

Ask dude if the line suddenly cut on any of those phone calls.

Certainly not in this matter. This Ottoman empire which essentially was created by nomads by force without any skills was run by Jews for centuries. and it is this wealth, experience that ultimately created dominance over Europe and you can already see its spread all the way to Iran.

The Frenchman Belon du Mans, who treated the Jews in the same way as the overwhelming majority of Europeans of that time, wrote in 1500: “They (the Jews) control the Turkish commodity market to such an extent that the wealth and income of the Turks are in their hands, because they set the highest price when collecting taxes, farm out the salt tax, port dues, and other revenues.” The Frenchman could not resist making an assessment typical of his time: “The most subtle and malicious people in the world.”

This is how the Ottoman Empire dealt with the Jewish​

In fact, Lothrop Stoddard mentioned in his book “The Present Islamic World” that their number was 800,000 Jews

Wave of Wealth : Iranians No Ordinary Group of Immigrants​

Khomeini’s revolution drove about half of Iran’s 80,000 Jews into exile. A few headed for New York or Israel, but the vast majority of those emigrants, probably at least 30,000, have settled in or near Beverly Hills.
The Iranians, Nourmand said, brought more than money.

“They brought their talents too. There were doctors, lawyers, businessmen, retailers, manufacturers--a variety of people who came and immediately contributed by boosting Beverly Hills’ international image,” he said
