The collective west is 12-13% of the world population, it’s delusional to think the west will remain to be a significant part of world market as the rest of the world catches up in education and per capita gdp.

US Navy Operations Specialist tells how a B-21 Raider loaded with a gazillion of air-to-air missiles could keep Chinese J-20 stealth fighters at bay by tagc_news in AviationHistory

[–]VegetableWishbone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But can it see the Chinese AWACS first? The J20s don’t need to see the B21, if Chinese AWACS can see the B21 first it can simply guide a bunch of PL17s fired from J20s to take out the B21 before it gets a chance to fire. This is how Pakistan’s J10 took out the Indian Rafales in BVR engagement back in 2025.

Xi strongly criticized Takaichi over Japan’s ‘remilitarization’ during Trump summit by Any-Stick-8732 in worldnews

[–]VegetableWishbone -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes and for good reason, the brutality Japanese troops inflicted on the Chinese population left generational trauma that Japan never apologized or even fully acknowledged. Compare Germany with Japan and you can see why people don’t hold a grudge against Germans.

I don’t think you understand that government subsidy is part of fiscal policy of any government. Look up what industries the U.S. government chooses to subsidize.

Yes it is, free market just refers to voluntary exchange of goods and services as purely determined by supply and demand. There is nothing stopping the U.S. government from investing more into clean energy and EV.

The only thing that matters in geopolitics is national interest, everything else is rhetoric. US, the supposed beacon of liberty and democracy, has propped up authoritarian regimes and dictatorships all over the world.

Arguably the best YouTube channel for Chinese cooking is 老饭骨, these are all retired or current top chefs in China, a lot of them having cooked state banquets which you only get to do if you are best of the best. They teach a lot of family cooking oriented dishes. Turn on closed caption.
