AGM-183 ARRW test earlier this year also failed because the solid fuel rocket motor stage did not ignite. This problem doesn't seem to be one off but a persistent issue in the US MIC.

This is the 4th failure of their supposed-to-be in-service by 2023-2025 hypersonic weapons. I hate laughing at people when they are down but they've done it to themselves honestly with all their arrogance and bluster.

Also, does anyone remember yesterday when they claimed (right before this failure was publicized) that they had 2-3 weapons tests that were successful? Turns out they were tests of 'components'. They seemingly HAD to post something after the Chinese tests were publicized. So much for their superiority, they are acting like Indians.

Jai Hind!!

There is, also, a historical dimension to this whole story. At least since the first Opium War and actually well before that, all major Western powers had wanted to take over the Chinese market with its vast profit potentials. When Chinese communists opened up, of course Americans and others jumped right in. The problem is that this communist party, it turns out, isn’t a tinpot dictatorship but a rather competent one. It has learned from its mistakes and those of others. It prefers its own “Beijing consensus” rather than “the Washington consensus”...

Amateur hour by Biden again. Had to have his handlers to issue a correction on its stance regarding Taiwan

"We are raising this issue with our Chinese counterparts in order to address immediate shortages and are assessing long-term solutions to tackle this strategic dependency.”

“This issue, if not resolved, threatens thousands of businesses across Europe, their entire supply chains and the millions of jobs that rely on them,” said the joint statement by a dozen industry groups, including metal producers, auto suppliers and the packaging sector.

Europe is expected to run out of magnesium stocks by the end of November, they added.

Excellent news. Well done.

They are "assessing long-term solutions to tackle this strategic dependency" = decouple.

So its good that they are now suffering. China shouldn't export them more magnesium, it already has to prioritize supplying its domestic industry first

Hypocrites. What happened to their 'decoupling' rhetoric? If they get them, they'll just forget this happened and then go back to chanting "Decouple!"

Good. Absolutely no mercy for them. No more materials exports to help their industries. Either buy the whole product from China or fk off.

Those indians like to troll BOYCOTT China! Jai Hind!!.... on their Xiaomi phones.




Although maintained its leading position in the global smartphone market in the third quarter of this year, the situation in some regions remains radically different. In India, Xiaomi led the market in the second quarter of this year, and a similar trend continued in the third.

Samsung cannot win back leadership in the Indian smartphone market from Xiaomi​

According to experts, the number of smartphones sold in the country fell by 5% in comparison with last year, while the sales volume is still higher than in the second quarter. We expect that in the fourth quarter of the year, interest in electronics will rise again with the onset of the holiday season.

According to the latest data, (along with the sub-brands POCO and Redmi) continues to dominate India with 24% of the smartphone market – over 11.2 million units sold. Samsung is in second place with 19% (9.1 million smartphones sold). Vivo and Realme account for 17% and 16% respectively.


The gap between Samsung and the latter companies is too insignificant for the leadership of the South Korean manufacturer to not worry about possible competition – the company may lose ground in any of the following quarters. While Samsung has managed to narrow the gap between its performance and Xiaomi’s results somewhat, it still has a lot to do in order to regain the leading position that it has lost in the region relatively recently.

It is noteworthy that in other regions, Samsung is also inferior to Xiaomi. At the end of the second quarter, the companies held similar positions in the ranking of smartphone sellers in Russia. Now the situation may worsen due to the ban on selling more than 50 Samsung models in Russia in connection with a patent dispute over Samsung Pay, although the court’s decision has not yet entered into force.

Well said. On one hand they want to plug in to to China's unique ultra cheap supply network and then feed them to their countries to manufacture high-value goods and resell them back to China.

On the other hand, they act with their annoying "holier than thou" attitude, and wanting to decouple from China.

So if China is going to lose these sales either way, why not cut off supplies immediately and have the EU's high tech industries get destroyed and thus giving a helping hand to Chinese industries?

The EU must have been thinking that China is stupid. The moment China notices that someone wants to decouple, it will immediately take counter-measures, stop selling them supplies and thus crippling them.

The EU can surely wait another 10 years for their domestic mining to catch up lol

I go around the internet proclaiming "When does the US recognize its own racism as a national security threat?" People go ballistic in responses like it's their sacred cow they don't want to give up. It's true that Americans' own racism affects how they think. They wanted to threaten decoupling with China hoping China would surrender to US demands. Why would they think that would happen? Because they think Chinese don't have the intellectual capacity to do anything without them hence why they thought China would eventually surrender. It never entered their minds that China might try to start making things the West tries to deny on their own. When China starts making all these things on their own, it's over for the West. Not only China will not being buying high tech from them, the world won't be either. Any country that follows them will be like a lemming following them over a cliff. The US is going to throw all that away because they'd rather believe that Chinese are intellectually dumber than they are. They rather believe all that propaganda that Chinese aren't innovative because that's the bull they use to try to manipulate dumb Chinese into thinking political freedom leads to innovation in science and engineering. They bet it all on their beliefs on race and they're going to lose everything.
