EU to press China over drones for Russia, warns of ‘consequences’​


The warning comes as the Czech foreign minister urges Europe to follow Donald Trump’s lead on China.




European self cope mechanism, they deluded themselves into believing China may or may not be be arming Russia, which can somehow alter the reality.

"The purpose of British defence policy is to make people think that they are defended."

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.

Very few Americans work in real industry so very few knows just how big a gap there is between the two.
To put things into perspective, my company recently received a quote for a machined part from a local North American company to save a few days of shipping, they wanted $5,000 for rushed 3 day turn. The same part from JLCCNC with 3 day turn plus shipping cost only $20, and the crazy thing is even if we machine the part in-house we'd have to pay more for just the material.

Yeah, exactly, they just do not know.

They are totally clueless and in the dark.

Walk around factories, get an idea on costs, and there is no argument.

If there are tariffs from Trump 2.0, like who cares.

:cool:

China just removed export tax rebates on aluminum, copper and certain organic oils, and reduced export rebate on solar panels, batteries and non-metallic products.

In other words: let me help you out with your tariffs.

I took a look and the Chinese Chancay port is actually located in a central spot right above Peru's most populous city Lima. The BRI hit a jackpot with this one. Wouldn't be surprised for it to add 2-3% annual GDP growth to Peru.

From the article:

"But now we are seeing a lot more foreign men,” he said. “They come from many countries. They are white, Asian, black – but the MAJORITY ARE Chinese.”

Is this how some Chinese folks are taking revenge against Japan, by boinking Japanese women (legally and with consent).

I'm going to be crass, but nonetheless here I go.

As Shashi Tharoor would say, history is its own revenge. The past 100 years where Japan first put China to shame by industrializing before it, then became an imperialist beast massacring its people, and then stood tall as the sole East Asian model of modernity are now becoming a blip in the almost 1500 of mutual interaction between the two nations.

The natural order of things is returning and when you think about it, despite what's come to pass Japan's entire culture and social norms are still heavily based on Chinese philosophy, and unlike Korea and Vietnam their language is still tethered to Chinese script. What lasting impact will modern Japan leave on China? China is rapidly catching up in terms of modernization and standard of living. Technologically, Japan is a dinosaur, nothing more needs to be said. The millions massacred in wars have already been replaced by new generations, those who grew up idolizing their media are gradually moving on to other forms of entertainment and subsequent generations will wonder what their parents even found so appealing about those Japanese cartoons.

Today's Japan is a glorified theme park for Westerners enamored with the recent wave of Western produced Samurai content to treat as their plaything, a fitting fate for a country known amongst many things for toys and merchandise. Nowadays, Chinese visiting Japan find their fancy's tickled by playthings of a different sort. Hey, as you say, unlike what the Japanese did in the past, at least the Chinese are actually paying for it and mutually consenting. Best part is that it still doesn't take away from the humiliation, although the not so great part perhaps is knowing amidst all this they deserve far worse.

Maybe they want to ban CN drone brands like in the US?
