I thought all Chinese tech was stolen and doesn't work anyways.

Why do they want malfunctioning versions of their own tech back?

The west doesn’t have next gen tech because Chinese hackers stole it! They are just demanding it back!

The EU is truly either award winningly retard, or acting that way on behest of the Americans to force a trade war between China and the EU so that the EU will be fighting together with the Americans against China.

But in the end, I don’t think it will matter much what their intentions are, since the end result will be the same.

What China needs to do now is proactively work towards the shattering of the EU. Destroy it as a viable entity and revert back to individual state level agreements with uncompromised European states still able to act rationally in their own self interests and fuck the died hard American slave states hard.

The easiest way to start this process is to wait for the EU to pass their retarded forced tech transfer order and then go to individual EU states and give them a simple choice. Comply with the EU directive and see all Chinese investments end as well as reciprocal measures taken against all their companies of turning over everything China wants or those companies are banned from the Chinese market and supply chains. Sign a mutual respect and economic non-aggression pact with a few friendly EU nations first, where both sides agree to ignore the new EU dictate and continue as before, and watch the Dominos fall.

America imports gutter oil from China

America imports gutter oil from China

1.27 million tons of gutter oil imported from China to USA last year. Yes actual gutter oil, it may be a waste product but industrially it's much much cleaner than crude oil as feedstock.


In this case it is actually a case of "how could Joe Biden let this happen?" Under Biden government's Inflation Reduction Act they had a program to encourage Sustainable Aviation Fuel:

On April 30, 2024, the Treasury Department released their guidance on the Sections 40B and 6426(k) tax credits for the production of sustainable aviation fuels, specifically ethanol. "Producers of SAF are eligible for a tax credit of $1.25 to $1.75 per gallon. SAF that achieves a GHG emissions reduction of 50% is eligible for the $1.25 credit per gallon amount, and SAF that achieves a GHG emissions reduction of more than 50% is eligible for an additional $0.01 per gallon for each percentage point the reduction exceeds 50%, up to $0.50 per gallon." The IRS also released a new greenhouse gas study model for ethanol producers, and endorsed a USDA incentives program to incorporate climate-smart agriculture in corn and soybean ethanol production.

Because of this scheme, gutter oil's demand was so high that people were even diluting gutter oil with actual fresh palm oil (as in, food grade never used in cooking) just to get that sweet sweet tax credit.

A significant naval exercise between China and Saudi Arabia, named Blue Sword 2025, is set to take place in Saudi Arabian waters from mid to late October. This marks the third time the two nations’ navies will engage in such coordinated maritime drills, as confirmed by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s official English-language platform, China Military Online.
The upcoming exercise aims to enhance operational skills and tactical cooperation between the two naval forces, fostering deeper military collaboration. Senior Colonel Jiang Bin, spokesman for China’s Defense Ministry, emphasized the broader diplomatic and strategic significance of the event. “This joint training will promote the exchange of skills and tactics among the participating troops from both sides, as well as ‘deepen the friendship and cooperation between the two militaries,’” he said on Friday.

The exercise reflects growing military ties amid expanding geopolitical interests in the region, signaling increased strategic partnership between China and Saudi Arabia.

For real, anyone who can remember in the 90s, the propaganda that the west said about itself was that it had scientific advances because it had democracy that promoted freedom and free thought.

On this point, they have been saying that for over 200 years since the Age of Imperialism. Probably even longer than that.

It was science, it was democracy, it was freedom, it was white is right, it was Christianity, then west is best, and it was just plain old racism.

They attributed everything, any trait to their success, in getting the jump on others, then jumping on others.

Maybe in these politically correct times, they do not push the racism anymore.

See, that is the world the Chinese were still able to survive in, not be colonized, and emerge from it, retaining their political and social independence, and then do what it did in the last 40 years.

Simply, fucking, great! And fuck them!

The racists, I mean.

That point we should give some credit to the Liberals. How they try to get rid of the racism.

So, now, the calling card is all ideology, the political crap.




Furthermore, facts are still facts.

What they said, and what we talk about in various forums every single day, was the industries of the future.

That should be telecommunications 5G, computing with semiconductors, green energy, electric vehicles, military tech, quantum, and A.I.

China is doing okay. Others are not even in the game.

Some people in this world will find this simply too alarming. Fuck them.

So you have a $1T annual military budget, and the arguably world's largest and most advanced nuclear submarine fleet. And you need to rebuild it?

Not too long ago, you guys were laughing at Chinese nuclear submarines. Did you laugh so hard that your submarine-building industry atrophied? You have the world's largest military budget. How could this happen?

That is the typical western BS and the pathetic western superiority mindset. Democracy had never brought progress. It is progress that later brought democracy, and this democracy will eventually erode the progress made.

LKY put this very well into words in his 1992 speech in HK, where the audience laughed at him when he said that.
