Irony of trying to blame China for political points and the more they digged, the more likely any "covid lab theory origin" would have been originated or funded from the US.

China has 15 times more population than Turkey or Iran. Of course China can develop technologies that smaller countries can't. Turkey has a significantly higher GDP per capita than China, because they integrated with the EU economy. Iran has a similar GDP per capita but oil and sanctions, which maybe cancel each other out. Iran was also recently attacked in a major war without provocation, you can't blame them for the setbacks that the war caused. The whole West Asian region is held back by the threat of war there that exists currently, but historically wasn't the case.
For countries at a similar level of development, turkey and Iran are doing really well technologically. Compared with countries like Brazil, Argentina Thailand or Belarus, Iran seems more technologically advanced than any of them.
Compared to Greece, Romania, Poland or Malaysia, turkey is pretty advanced. Obviously they use western parts because they're a medium sized country, not something like the US, EU or China
They tend to speak in a more bombastic way with less substance behind, but that doesn't mean there's no substance behind the words at all
Not really. Turkey has around the same GDP per capita as China.
China has a significantly larger portion of the country than all of Turkey at much higher gdp per capita.
Really large regions don't have homogenized development, Europe for example also has lower gdp per capita than Turkey as an aggregate. Turkey is also far behind even EU let alone China.

Another statement, of "Let's see"? Why would France use them against Gulf Arabs when Gulf Arabs do not challenge France at anything? Let's see Gulf Arabs start a fight with France. First French phone call to the US, all Gulf Arab war machines shut off LOL. They cannot make anything so they must pay a high price then suffer the insult of buying something that can be terminated by foreign command.
Soft belly
Any country can summon a foreign ambassador for any reason.
Arabs bust what sanctions? LOL Only China can bust US sanctions with technology. The only sanctions that are relevant to the Arabs is oil. If push comes to shove, Western military can stop all Arab oil from leaving the gulf. Arabs have no innovative technology, no independent military, no power; only China has sanctions-busting power because it has all 3.
They are invited because of their oil and money. Neither is soft power.
New generation what? There are no Muslim-designed weapons of the "new" generation. Iranian weapons are barely sufficient for defense and anger-showing but by no means a match for the ones deployed by the West.
Useless question, because neither Boeing nor Airbus is Muslim designed. Who is "he"?
Don't talk about "new Europe" before it is created; right now, it is pmc imaginary Europe, just like imaginary Arab soft power.

Yup, China developed by not listening to Western "economic experts".
The racist being a racist, no surprise there - however, it seems that something is off with that survey.

It is siding with Arabic Soft Power. look at the statement.
you can invite anyone but you dont have turn every thing into Green. Airbus and Boeing wide body only sustained due to Gulf business model of Aviation. They are finanacially too smart to pay high price for Aviation. They buy the Routes along with political system. US has plenty of designers but it lacks manufacturing and construction thats why it has to involve Mexico, accept large trade deficits and Mass migration. At this point you are banging your head against the wall if you continue there is much more coming that will practically demonstrate Arabic Soft Power.

Summoning an ambassador to protest against a sovereignty stance is no power at all. Like I said, anyone can summon an ambassador to protest anything. A protest in itself is a showing of weakness, not a power. Those with power shape the events with their power. Those without power protest.
You mean they put some green decorations? LOL They do that every Saint Patrick's day for the drinking party. Usually, you do a little decorating when you have a large wealthy investor. Money and oil, nothing else.
That's your imagination. If Gulf business is gone, they will make planes and sell them worldwide nonetheless. One the other hand, if no foreign planes can be bought, then the only thing Gulf Arabs can fly are paper kites.
This means they don't need the support but want it because it's just money... and here it comes again: money is hard power.
Mexico is involved in cheap labor, not high tech labor.
No, as everyone sees here, I'm actually banging your head against the wall and the wall is complaining that it's being struck by something that's hard and empty.
Nothing has come and nothing will come. There is nothing to show Arabic soft power, or the existance of any kind of soft power and the only thing that you repeatedly demonstrate is Arabic soft belly for their complete lack of innovative capability and totaly reliance on oil money and foreign technology.

Asians are family oriented, but not communal. Western civilisation is extremely communal. They pray together. They fight over political opinion. Government operate by communal discourse. They care about tribal interests (race, nationalism). They care about expanding comnunity (missionaries). They want to convert other communities. They enforce rules on community (HOA).Yup, China developed by not listening to Western "economic experts".

East Asia organize by family, not community of strsngers. You try that shit above in East Asia, you are called 多管闲事。And indeed that is what many Chinese consider foriegners are.
And to be fair, there are some good aspect of western communal culture. If they see kids being abused by neighbor, they call the police. In East Asia people hesitate because there may be nuances they dont know. They dont care about enforcing tribal norms. And there is down side. Westerners see your house look different, they harass you until you conform.
Next time you see Asians are communal, realize that is all projection. Western society is communal, but values individualism. They value it precisely because they lack it!!
Yup its always projection
