There's nothing particularly advanced about any of the Arab states, otherwise MBS wouldn't be pushing his Vision 2030 agenda. TBF, the House of Saud's desire to advance Saudi Arabia technologically and industrially is absolutely laudable, but it is also an implicit and clear acknowledgment of Arabic backwardness.
here again you are showing lack of knowledge about this matter. Vision 2030 is about creating healthy society through Sports, Culture, Tourism and introducing Arabic Soft Power to wider world. tech/investment are enabling factor.

Welcome to our vision of a vibrant society in Saudi Arabia.



Some of the GCC member states are indeed quite wealthy on a per capita basis, but being treated like an ATM by an American administration led by a reality TV star turned populist demagogue named Donald Trump is not a display of soft power, or anything to brag about.

In fact, paying such exorbitant sums of protection money, or even fractions thereof, communicate weakness, as in severe inadequacies in hard power and a near total lack of soft power:



Bigger amounts enhance Trump standing. Arab Royals will get richer from Trump actions. They understand American system better than anyone else. and who knows what kind of info they getting from US about rest of the world.

Nvidia’s co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang lauded China’s progress in open source artificial intelligence and said it was a “catalyst for global progress” that was “giving every country and industry a chance to join the AI revolution.” Huang pledged to work with Chinese companies, as the chip designer driving the growth of AI resumes shipping its sought-after chips to the country after getting US government approval. He was speaking on July 16, 2025 during the opening ceremony of the China International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing.



Sometimes I read the internet comments.

Some butt hertz with someone impersonating a Chinese, but I also detect some Chinese impersonating someone they are not.

Got to admit, sometimes it is amusing to watch people's struggle with reality itself. It is like an existential crisis of being.

When it gets too acute, they blame everyone else, reality is wrong. Hence they themselves do not go insane. Which is interesting, because they probably already are insane.

Bat shit crazy!

:p

I wonder if it was a honest mistake or a deliberate act, considering the amount of western worshippers there.

4 aircraft is basically nothing for an ATC to manage, it's really hard to believe that half of them ended risking to collide basically in an empty airspace and avoided that only because the TCAS issued a traffic advisory.

Anyway it's something to be concerned, either it has been due to incompetence or bad faith

It sounds like pilot incompetence. There has been pilot shortage in China this past decade and my guess is some less competent types got through.

As expected even though he's supposedly Taiwanese, they never really trusted him. He's just another Chinese in disguise to them.

The west keep saying how they are willing to die for Taiwan yet they cant even have basic trust for it's people. It's too much of a contradiction that it's gonna blow up one day.
