Nah, the Chinese government doesn’t have to do anything. Serve Xiaomi right for investing in manufacturing in India

It is surprising that India is taking their time to take action. I expected them to act during the border crisis where Indians and politicians were calling for boycotting and banning of Chinese goods. Could be waiting for best opportunity for maximum gains.

Things r getting worse for ethnic Chinese or even east Asians in the west. American propoganda in YouTube n Facebook age are able to brainwash people about China Threat. It's irony that China doesn't intend to export its way of governance to other countries. China unfortunately has no choice but make itself militarily and economically unbeatable. By the way,I am non-chinese Asian living in the west
At some point,I believe China need to make some political reforms n also make peace with ASEAN by making give and take.

I am not at all familiar with the majority of the PLA military hardwares nor am I well versed in knowing and understanding the qualitative nature of the PLA in today's day and age. However because of poor perception about anything made in China as just bad or low quality this tag has also been carried over towards it's military hardware products in all services, especially the criticism leveled towards it's exported products. This article pretty much accused Chinese/PLA hardwares as garbage. I understand that the article itself was written by an Indian person but is what he's alleging true?

Beijing had gifted two 1970s era Ming class Type-035G submarines to Bangladesh valued at $100-million each in 2017. These were later re-inducted by the Bangladesh Navy as BNS Nobojatra and BNS Joyjatra.

However, both the platforms have been lying idle due to technical issues and could not be used as intended. The year 2020, witnessed China gifting Dhaka with two Chinese 053H3 frigates — BNS Umar Farooq and BNS Abu Ubaidah.

According to sources, the Type-053H3 frigates gifted to the Bangladesh Navy have defects in fire control system as well as in the helicopter fuelling and defueling system.

Defects have also been discovered in the gyro compass. The frigates were supplied by Poly Technologies Inc. Poly Technologies is a subsidiary of China Poly Group Corporation, a trade company with headquarters in Beijing, which deals with missiles and other military hardware.

With regard to naval platforms built by China Shipbuilding and Offshore International Co. Limited, issues that have surfaced are poor metallurgy, lack of spare part support, machinery failure, defective radars and poor armaments.

Defects have also been detected in basic trainer aircraft and K-8 aircraft for the Bangladesh Air Force and short-range air defence system for the Bangladesh Army.

With the money quote: "The world over, reliability and quality of defence equipment are known as the true mark of a nation’s technology, manufacturing ability and maintenance practices."

Although, to be fair, anything can be defective if an Indian is operating it

If the shits hit the fan, US 1.1 T or so T-bills and US equity in those Chinese VIE structures would be a wash. Big question is if a large chunk of about US 8T or so of M2 circulating outside US would be deleted overnight, as a consequence of US deleting the entry for 1.1 T in their M0. So that'd be something interesting to watch, as unintended consequences are bound to happen. The remaining US 2 T would be quite tricky to handle as well, cumulative FDI, foreign trade payables and receivables, etc, so US dollar M2 circulating outside to grease the wheel of global commerce would have a big sucking giant hole - the death of dollar curse, or at least a definitive beginning of it? That's not even mentioning who would be holding the bags in all these related ensuing derivatives.
At the end of the day, it just doesn't matter for China one way or the other as the end goal is far bigger than a dozen zeros. As long as China has internal consumer market large enough to support its R&D, science and technology, she'll be fine.

absolute bullshit on the firefighting. 075 LHD Hainan and Wasp class LHD USS Bonhomme Richards were both LHDs that lit on fire from a minor trash fire in the well deck.

Hainan survived with minor smoke damage, Bonhomme Richards was a total hull loss.

What did you expect from such garbage companies? Serves them right.

I hope that India does a proper shakedown and steal from Xiaomi all their Indian assets

Agreed, serves them right to invest in a hostile country, than putting their investment into domestic operations. Why did they open an Indian branch in the first place? Is it because the CEO likes Indian food?
