Does Russia make advanced CNC machines given that they have fairly advanced jet engines and nuclear subs ?

I think there is a general misunderstanding in this thread about the purpose of TCM. It is in fact evidence based; there is a good body of literature showing that it is effective in alleviating the symptoms of diseases. Of course, it isn't effective at all at eliminating the actual cause of those diseases, whether it be viruses or bacteria or cancerous cells, but that's not why it's being promoted. It's effective at reducing patients' suffering while they undergo modern treatment meant to actually remove the cause of the disease. This nuance is intentionally muddled in western reporting on the matter.
I don't know about now, but their aeroengine factories at the fall of soviet union was comparable to what was available commercially in the west. Given that they really haven't improved much in aeroengine since then, I would assume their CNC machines haven't improved all that much
The Russians make up to 5 axis CNC machines.
This is just one of the companies in Russia which makes CNC machines. 2, 3, and 4 axis.
The Kalashnikov Group also makes CNC machines.
This is a combined laser additive printer with 5-axis milling machine for example.
There is also licensed production of foreign models but I do not know how much localization they have done.

In the same thread where this prominent weibo account said Huawei to cooperate with Denza, he also posted some interesting comments on Huawei's MetaERP and harmony
imo, that's pretty sad. DB isn't that hard to develop.
Sounds like something that SOEs and gov't organization will migrate to.
talks about the ability of Harmony to operate without internet and connect to other part of ecosystem and why other domestic players are joining openharmony
saying that Huawei developed its own database and expanded harmony to allow it to be used, fully de-americanized. Unlike other domestic ERP that still uses foreign database.
imo, that's pretty sad. DB isn't that hard to develop.
This is developed to sell, not just for Huawei.
Uses Euler OS, Huawei Cloud, Bisheng compiiler and Gaussian database. Wrote all the core software. So some sensitive domestic department will use first.

Lol, no it's not gonna be turning into some India situation.
With that said, there have been a problem of basically 'fake' practitioners, basically scammers. Whether it be selling TCM medicine that are actually just scams, or people 'faking' as TCM practioner/doctor etc.
But it's not like there isn't such scams with regular medicine or in many other areas of society.
So it's really a matter of both having laws up to date, but also good enforcement of law (practioners have to have actual license, medicine have to be tested etc.).
As for TCM not being 'evidence based', while I'm not 'in it' or work with it, but from what I've seen outside it really isn't like they just do stuff or make medicine because of 'traditions' or the likes. If anything, TCM medicine that have gotten licenses and the likes should have gone through a similar process of 'evidence based medicine' to test if they are effective and to find out side effects etc.
Chemical and genetic analyses of TCM remedies have been conducted since the early 2000s to substantiate the already evidence-based TCM... 3000 years of trial and error. Herbal remedies are already superior to synthetic chemicals as the latter is always harder for the body to digest.
The world's largest tower crane officially rolled off the production line! A few days ago, the Zoomlion R20000-720 tower crane rolled off the production line and was delivered at the Zoomlion Construction Crane Industrial Park in Dingcheng District, Changde City, Hunan Province. The crane has a maximum lifting capacity of 720 tons and a maximum lifting height of 400 meters. It is mainly used in the field of major engineering construction..
The ease of digestion and easier access (whether by its lower cost or simply not needing a prescription to attain) by the general public gives TCM a powerful place in preventative medicine that "modern" medicine has long sought but found it impossible to take. Preventative medicine being, of course, the ideal and most important form of medicine.
Thoughts on the 4th Industrial Revolution:
The layoffs of Amazon's Echo/Alexa division, shutdown of Google's Core IoT platform, Meta's struggling Oculus headset sales are showing a broad retreat by the US tech sector from IoT. Financial contraction is causing big tech to cut their R&D and pilot hardware programs, companies instead resorting to the usual short-term profits from easily monetizable products like LLMs and chatbots. The US still has a few initiatives left: China should watch out for Apple's AR push and Tesla's , unless they want to get blindsided again. Those companies actually make decent hardware. I wouldn't put it past Elon to continue his German and Japanese robotics companies. The Xiaomi's robot and the Taikobot are good first steps but not yet industry dominating.
As of now, China is a few years ahead of US in IoT tech and decades ahead in implementation. Now is the time to apply strong competition and financial pressure to Silicon Valley from all sides. Due to investor expectations, FAANG are backed into a corner and must do all sorts of unreasonable things to maintain a high profit level. If you squeeze their R&D budget, poach their talent, then this tech gap will widen.
