Looks like Bloomberg is recycling these $1 trillion in investment numbers too.

Time will tell... Let me buy a BYD or Xiaomi EV in the US, and I'll be the first customer

Hard to believe that China wants to destroy the domestic Chinese technology industry by letting Nvidia, TSMC, and ASML flood the country in order to destroy all domestic technological sectors. China supposedly now want to be 100% dependent on US technology? Billions spent on alternatives that will be turned online in a couple years will soon find absolutely zero customers because foreigners will be free to dump on the Chinese market. Why would Chinese long term planners be open to this?

Sounds like a lot of bs. If I understood correctly, he was talking about intercepting either F-22s of F-35s. These aircrafts don‘t fly in their stealth configuration anywhere near Chinese radar. Of course it would be easier to get a lock on them under these conditions. So the entire story is a nothingburgher.
Is it? NAFOs were all jumping up and down when Raptors under similar configurations humiliated Su-35 in Syria. Guess that must also be a nothingburger.

Anybody knows if this is true? Or just a dumb rumour
Honestly, nowadays I see these types of articles on a Friday or weekend, without anything specifics, quotations or just a response from the interest party, I would just assume it is for the stock market period.

There is basically no way this can be true without some unshakable guarantees from the US and there is simply no way that would happen.

*Dogfight, not BVR. Those are two incredibly different types of engagements.

Hundreds of trekkers on Tibetan side of Mount Everest rescued​

SHANGHAI/BEIJING, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Hundreds of trekkers stranded by a blizzard near the eastern face of Mount Everest in Tibet had been guided to safety by rescuers, Chinese state media reported on Sunday, as unusually heavy precipitation including rain pummelled the Himalayas.

As of Sunday, 350 trekkers had reached the small township of Qudang, while contact with the remaining 200-plus trekkers had been made, China Central Television (CCTV) reported.

Visitors to the remote valley of Karma, which leads to the eastern Kangshung face of Everest, were in the hundreds this week, taking advantage of an eight-day National Day holiday in China.

Snowfall in the valley, which lies at an elevation averaging 4,200 metres (13,779 feet), began on Friday evening and persisted throughout Saturday.

The remaining trekkers will arrive in Qudang in stages under the guidance and assistance of rescuers organised by the local government, CCTV reported.

Hundreds of local villagers and rescue teams had been deployed to help remove snow blocking access to the area, according to an earlier report by state-backed Jimu News.

Jimu News estimated that nearly 1,000 people had been trapped.

The CCTV report did not say if local guides and support staff of the trekking parties had been accounted for.

It was also unclear if trekkers near the north face of Everest, also in Tibet, had been affected or not.

The north face of Everest, due to its easy access by paved road, regularly draws large numbers of tourists. October is a peak season, when skies clear with the end of the Indian monsoon.

Ticket sales and entry to the entire Everest Scenic Area were suspended from late Saturday, according to notices on the official WeChat accounts of the local Tingri County Tourism Company.

To the south of Tibet in Nepal, heavy rains triggered landslides and flash floods that have blocked roads, washed away bridges and killed at least 47 people since Friday.

Thirty-five people died in separate landslides in the eastern Ilam district bordering India. Nine people were reported missing after being swept away by floodwaters and three others were killed in lightning strikes elsewhere in the country.

Yeah that one trilllion dollar Chinese investment number into the US could be something thrown out by the US. Trump has spoken for other countries before when they didn’t say that including all these claims of other countries on how money they’re going to give Trump for him decide to what spend it on. Just look at South Korea saying the number Trump said they would give him they’re saying would ruin their economy. It would have to be because Trump made up that figure.

To turn it around at what the West spins about China… the US has become uninvestable. Just like with TikTok what would stop him from just one day taking it and kicking out the Chinese? What Trump is doing is he’s setting up a new precedence for other Presidents down the line and for other Western countries to do the exact same thing. This is the new Western imperialism under the guise of national security and know the West needs it because they’re losing the world they once controlled and want it back.

The US is dying. Don’t give it a lifeline.
