Press X to doubt on the drone story too. I doubt Iran has that manufactering capability, even for something as mechanically simplistic as the Shahed. And even if they did 15,000 is no small number and I'm sure they would save that for a potential Israel or even Azerbaijan war rather than just giving it all to China. Plus, the Shahed has been effective, but its main strength is how cheap they are to produce, essentially quantity being a quality in of itself, and China already experiments with swarm drone tactics anyway.

Let's just say I am highly sceptical about that number, 500 would be a more correct number. Iranians are good people but do tend towards the hyperbolic side

Those 15 thousand assuming they work well could be useful as initial fodder before China takes out the big guns that they are obviously stockpiling up now. I am pretty sure the number of nukes that China has must be somewhere on par with Russia and USA given that they little incentive to tell the whole world until they feel ready to blow sh!t up when the USA let’s everyone know what they plan to do. of course China already has enough missile to blow Japan to pieces and still have enough to do the same to the USA but that’s just a forgone conclusion.

I don’t under why some people feel the need that the Chinese tells the world about the limits of what arsenal they ought to have. As far as I am concerned, with china’s military personal should easily dwarf the west based on population and general capability alone and simply enough, they need to prepare for the worse and having more is a good thing but still whether Irans drones can meet Chinese standards is a different story

It's just some collaborators from the south that were allowed to survive. Doesn't help that China did knock them around a bit so even the legit leadership has real reasons to be apprehensive. However, any sane Vietnamese understand that a war fought between only the military forces over uninhabited border territory is completely different from genocidal wars of occupation where Viet civilians were deliberately targeted.

Its mostly water under the bridge nowadays. Vietnam might not be ready to return as a full ally yet, but China also has all time in the world to pick them up later.

The thing about collaborators is that you need to be very tough when taking them out.

It should have combined China (1st) and Hong Kong SAR (2nd), because almost all of tech exports from Hong Kong actually come from mainland China.

Also note that the list is based on the values of high tech exports. It does not necessarily mean the countries or provinces are make their own high tech items.
Vietnam and Malaysia are relatively low tech countries but are among the top ten on the list because they are exporting high tech products from US, Japan and Korean companies operating there because of low labour cost and close proximity to supply chains from China.
