What a deal of the century lol, the US promised not to deploy nukes in asia in return of China not expanding plutonium production, does the writer thinks CPC leaders has shit for brains? and doesn't know the US has SSBN with nukes on board within 2 hours striking distance patrolling the pacific at all times, putting american nukes on Sk or japan will even make them vulnerable for PLA decapitating strikes,

Never said there aren't any successful Chinese fast food restaurants.
Then why are you so surprise of KFC being the number one due to the first mover advantage. Just like Japanese white appliance, Nokia, Samsung that dominated Chinese market many years ago. It isn't easy for the leading company in the industry with first mover advantage to get dethroned unless these companies made strategical mistakes.

Yes, this is a non-ironic Jai Hind. The beat Russia and Japan to the moon. Great achievement on such a shoestring budget.
People similarly downplayed China when it had a lower per capita GDP than places like Botswana and Brazil. But as with India, size a lone makes it so that even if on paper the country is overall poor, it still enough resources to punch above its weight and accomplish things even deveoped nations, nevermind developing countries, are not capable of.

India by most metrics may be a basket case, but 1 billion people and the world's fifth (soon to be 3rd) biggest economy still makes it a regional power that can't be ignored.

In deadly Maui fires, many had no warning and no way out. Those who dodged a barricade survived​

As flames tore through a West Maui neighborhood, car after car of fleeing residents headed for the only paved road out of town in a desperate race for safety.

And car after car was turned back toward the rapidly spreading wildfire by a barricade blocking access to Highway 30.

One family swerved around the barricade and was safe in a nearby town 48 minutes later, another drove their four-wheel-drive car down a dirt road to escape. One man took a dirt road uphill, climbing above the fire and watching as Lahaina burned. He later picked his way through the flames, smoke and rubble to pull survivors to safety.

But dozens of others found themselves caught in a hellscape, their cars jammed together on a narrow road, surrounded by flames on three sides and the rocky ocean waves on the fourth. Some died in their cars, while others tried to run for safety.

“I could see from the bypass that people were stuck on the balconies, so I went down and checked it out,” said Kekoa Lansford, who made several trips into town to look for survivors. What he found was horrible, Lansford said, with dead bodies and flames like a hellish movie scene. “And I could see that people were on fire, that the fire was just being stoked by the wind, and being pushed toward the homes.”

The road closures — some because of the fire, some because of downed power lines — contributed to making historic Lahaina the site of the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century. But there were many problems that day, and in some ways the disaster began long before the fires started.

A flash drought in the region provided plenty of kindling, and Hurricane Dora brought strong winds to Maui as it passed roughly 500 miles (800 kilometers) south of the Hawaii island chain. Those winds downed at least 30 power poles in West Maui, and Hawaiian Electric had no procedure in place for turning off the grid — a common practice in other fire-prone states. Video shot by a Lahaina resident shows a downed powerline setting dry grasses alight, possibly revealing the start of the larger fire.

They barricaded the only road out of town? It’s almost as if they wanted them all dead.

Jai Hind! India Superpowar!

Exactly the kind of mentality that will prevent India from progressing to the next level of development.

That Jai Hind journalist couldn't help but take pot shots at the Russian Space Agency's failed moon mission. He hinted that that's because Russia chose to work with China on moon exploration instead of India. He is also proud that because of Russia's snub, India have instead chosen to sign an MOU with JAXA and NASA for lunar exploration. But what he is most proud of is that India can pull off this space mission at only a fraction of the budget of any other space agencies. I think that Indian probe on the moon is probably not as capable as what others put on the moon.

Nevertheless. For Indians to cry "We are a Superpower now!" is very amusing indeed. There is another Asian country that have 5x the economy of India have a already been doing manned space flights for decades, have built a space station, have landed a lunar probe on the dark side of the moon, have landed a rover on Mars, and have quantum communication satellites. That country have never called itself a superpower.

India may have a space program. But India's human development is actually regressing. It's people are becoming more religious, anti-science, and intolerant to minorities. Then they are so quick to call India a Superpowar, and have the cheek to belittle other nations. This is how they will limit their development in the long term.
