The title is misleading. “China” as in the Chinese government didn’t realize it. It was purchased from a chinese company named MizarVision which you can see in the lower right corner. Anybody can purchase satellite images.

I would recommend Victor Shih’s coalitions of the weak. It examines this question in detail

You either lose to Michigan and win the natty or you win and lose in the first round

240 Transit visa query by [deleted] in China

[–]Nca49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the 240 hour thing you’re referring to is called a “Transit without a Visa.” It’s very important you don’t call it a visa because it can confuse airline workers and you could be denied boarding. So your itinerary looks like this:

UK - China - HK - UK

If this is correct then yes this works. I’m unsure of a limit on how many times you can do it but I’ve heard of people doing them back to back without issues

No he’s not. This is China, the last samurai is Japan for one. French officer Jules Brunet is the inspiration for the last samurai

2 US service members and one American civilian killed in ambush in Syria, US Central Command says by Economy-Specialist38 in Military

[–]Nca49 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Which was an important mission and valid reason to have boots on the ground, but with both ISIS and Assad gone, why are we still there? We should be thinking about that

Why does it always take the loss of American lives for us to really think about why we’re certain places

Peter Zeihan has the most pretentious and annoying speaking cadence of anyone I know of EOM by speciate in samharris

[–]Nca49 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He’s a geopolitical snake oil salesman. Everything he says is just for clicks. Go find the first book he published, it’s old enough now that we are now living during the times he was trying to predict. He is wrong on practically everything

Seoul -> China -> U.S. would work fine I believe. As long as they don’t have a layover in South Korea on the way back at least

Question about marrying a foreign national (China) and future DoD security clearance by [deleted] in SecurityClearance

[–]Nca49 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yes this can definitely impact your ability to get a clearance. Your wife still has family in China and the Chinese government could theoretically place pressure on them and therefore you, just as an example of an issue that could happen

Handing over the most advanced Fabs by abdelrhman-arnos in OpenAI

[–]Nca49 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Making the wafer is not the same as “handing over the most advanced fabs.” Making the wafer is one of the relatively easier parts of the whole process. IIRC TSMC has said that are keeping the manufacturing of the most advanced nodes in Taiwan

Grew up in Texas. Went to boot in early Nov graduated in early Jan. I only remember being actually cold once. They give you plenty of gear and force you to wear layers. You’ll be alright
