This statue named "Three Drops of Oil" at CAC's factory park originates from an event just prior to J-10's maiden flight. Sometime shortly before the planned maiden flight three drops of oil was found under the prototype. The leadership immediately ordered the maiden flight delayed and rear half of the prototype disassembled on the spot down to individual parts to discover the source of the leak. Only after the source was found and confirmed to be harmless was the plane reassembled and the maiden flight allowed to proceed.

That's the correct attitude to take with your aircraft, instead of deflecting blame to anyone but yourself.

What's the same art piece at whoever makes the Tejas? A big puddle of oil right in front of the front door that their workers walk through while going in and out all day without noticing or giving a crap about?

This clause should honestly be cited more

Why? It’s just become relevant again in light of Japan’s recent idiotic remarks, and it is an incredibly serious clause to invoke that you do not want to cry wolf with it to dilute its power.

The Enemy States clause doesn’t give the allies cart Blanche to use military force against former axis powers whenever they want. It does, however, give them extraordinarily deep authority to use military force far beyond the bounds of normal self defence. It’s essentially a SnapBack mechanism to revert back to WWII conditions, and allows allied states basically to do full conquest and occupation in order to eradicate fascism from the entire society of former axis powers.

What China is saying by citing these clauses is that China will view any Japanese involvement in an AR scenario as satisfying all of the conditions necessary for it to trigger the States clause. That’s about as explicit as Beijing ever will state that if Japan starts a fight during AR, the fight will absolutely not end with merely the annihilation of its expeditionary forces, and that China will do what the Americans failed to do after WWII and fully cleanse Japanese society of fascists, which basically means full invasion and occupation of the Japanese home islands in their entirety.

Simply put, this is China’s way of saying, if you really want an actual existential threat to your nation, go ahead and try me.

Deutsche Bank warns of Japan capital flight in echo of U.K. crisis

Click to expand...

Sanae Takaichi’s spending plans have sent Japan’s bonds and currency tumbling, raising the specter of an unruly capital flight reminiscent of the turmoil that nearly broke the U.K. bond market in 2022, according to Deutsche Bank’s global head of currency research.
Japanese government bonds are falling at the same time as the yen, reflecting concerns that the new prime minister’s stimulus plans, amid a dovish stance by the Bank of Japan, will worsen the country’s fiscal health.
