China is in crisis mode because Xi was hoping Blinken would come so Xi could personally beg for help from the US to revive the Chinese economy.

It's actually because they ran out of ducks in Beijing for roasted ducks okay.
CCP tried to be coy about this and invited that other guy to Langfang instead but seems Whitehouse can't take the hint and keep clamouring to send all these people to Beijing. So what can they do other than unleash the balloons?

If only the American were okay with those big baozi in Tianjing instead of insisting on roasted duck this could've all been avoided.

When did CNN become satire

Crisis mode describes perfectly a moribund hegemon whose state of the art 5th gen fighter's only action after nearly 4 decades from its drawing board back in 1985 is that of shooting at a static, defenceless Chinese balloon...

Oh, they're working on spicy stuff already:

AFAIK this was an experiment to test different hypersonic glider design by dropping them from high altitude balloon, but given what happened in recent days it's certainly an evocative image.
For the current US regime, anything China does is a threat: thus a cost-effective way for testing some aspects of the aerodynamics of hypersonic vehicles becomes a cheap way to deliver them, never mind how can you achieve hypersonic speed by just dropping them. Furthermore, a wayward meteorological research balloon becomes an instrument of terror for spreading agents of biological warfare - only the imagination is the limit.

Unfortunately for the US, there are less than 6 million Chinese Americans, while there are more than 1.4 billion Chinese in China.

Directly quoted from the Chinese Aviation Industry Thread.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan has officially terminated the MRJ SpaceJet regional jet project, and will liquidate its Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation subsidiary.


From the tweet:


Partially quoted from a reply:


I think we can learn two things from this:

1. It is no easy feat for any country to develop, build and maintain sizeable passenger jetliners. So far, other than the US and Russia, no individual countries, even those with advanced technological and scientific capabilities, are able to completely master the construction of indigenous sizeable passenger jetliners on their own.

Right now, China is the only one out of everyone else who is working hard with tears-and-sweat to fully enter this category.

2. China's ARJ21 regional jet and soon C919 narrowbody airliner can only be made into reality and success thanks to the immense support and backing by the entirety of the citizens, government and country of China.
Today's Japan is a completely different animal from the 1970s and 80s. Japan can't do much nowadays. Even its auto industry is being eclipsed by China's. As a result, it has no choice but to team up with the US like a good lapdog teaming up with its master.

China is in crisis mode because Xi was hoping Blinken would come so Xi could personally beg for help from the US to revive the Chinese economy.

I haven't followed the Western MSM for a few years. But any article with a female Chinese diaspora reporter's picture there can be safely ignored anyway.

Let's see if it can be done once KMT holds the power.

Good news:

But I thought that China already shot its wad with the economic recovery?

Maybe they need Blinken to instruct them on the old slow and steady?
