I bet money that these wildfires was caused by unattended power lines. But there is also bad planning you can reduce wildfires by reducing fuel biomass and even doing controlled burning.

Or it could be intentionally done to burn down enough land for the US corporations to buy up those lands while those insurers cancelling all those covers means that they will save on having to insure all those people that lost their homes. It’s a dog eat dog world in the USA. One where one day if the people are driven to the point of no return, then those people will eventually start a civil war and thus those lands and money taken away by those corporations and insurers will mean nothing when the people go berserk and start wrecking everything. Thus sinking the USA while China doesn’t have to do anything. Huge success to the government, they can forget China, they are destroying themselves with their own greed. They had a chance to fix things but they blew it and thus have to live with it

It's interesting because around the time when China was importing J-11 there were voices in PLAAF saying Flanker is so much better than the then in development J-10 and the project should be dropped and the funds made available to buy more J-11. It went all the way to the top to Jiang Zemin who was very supportive of J-10 program because he understood the need to nurture domestic aircraft R&D to pave the way for future aircraft. He apparently smashed a teacup in front of PLAAF people and yelled at them telling them he doesn't want to hear from them again asking to cancel J-10.

While certainly the correct decision in retrospect as the experience gained by CAC eventually lead to the J-20 and J-36 today, Elder was taking on risk by supporting J-10, not only placing trust in CAC's ability to deliver but also it meant China had to take geopolitical threats on the chin in the meanwhile to not spark off any wars while they PLA was in a relatively weak state. Hence Yinhe incident, bombing of Belgrade embassy in 1999 and Hainan EP-3 incident in 2001.

Now that something similar is playing out in India I'm wondering if the decision to stick with Tejas is correct and could J-10 ended up going the same way if CAC was like HAL.

No India is not China and HAL is not CAC/SAC-the results or lack of such speaks for themselves-wow -don't blame the then PLAAF but my respect for JZM just shot up some notches-sign of a strong wise prescient leader.
