The defence spending of China on a per capita basis is still very low in the world standard. Based on the current rate of growth (~6%), it will take decades to reach the same level as where US spends right now, which is 10+ times more on a per capita basis. There are still a lot room to grow and...

HK polices are gentle on these rioters. Curious how US police deal with riot like this.

Just remember that Vietnam used to have no industry, where did they come from? They were developed by people, but by bit. In the same way, Laos can develop their industry and this railway is the key enabler. I can’t be bothered asking where you get 900m debt payment from but I am guessing you...

The new railway will not only for high speed trains and tourism, but also facilitate the industrialization development in Lao in the decades to come. With the new railway, Laos will be able to move their goods and people more efficiently and cost effectively, which is fundamental for...

I agree. I don’t think it is derogatory.

I have watched the video. As someone who is fluent in Chinese, I think his speech has been taken out of context. What he is saying Western countries are surrendering China and is working hard to destabilize Xinjiang as Xinjiang is most developed and prosperous region in Central Asia. It is...

Even heard Vale SA in Brazil? Do you know how much Australian economy is dependent on mining industry and Iron ore export in particular? The reality is that Australia has been reduced to a raw material exporter and nothing else has left (Holden has just closed their last factory). Folks are...

I though SH1 has been with PA for a few of years in small number. While it is a solid artillery with great range and mobility but its accuracy has room to improve (possibly why it wasn’t inducted in PA in mass). When SH15 was rollout by NORINCO, its accuracy is a massive step up to SH1 and meets...

The sinofication you are referring to, from a Chinese point of view, is a process of modernization. An analogy I should point out is that China has also been regarded as being westernized, which is true to certain degree. We have abandoned the robe that our ancestors were wearing for thousands...

From a Chinese perspective, I feel we mostly look at other countries from a economical development and geographical lenses ie developing/developed countries, Asian/African/European countries. Naturally we tend to focus on questions like what we can trade with each other and how to build good...

Let’s say both parties managed to keep the conflict conventional. US has already had first hand experience in terms of fighting a conventional war with China- Korean War. China was a backward agricultural country that was mostly in ash of war. The technological gap between US and China at that...

Great work. Clearly on the way to become a top port in Indian Ocean!

We are seasoned bricklayers (check out the Great Wall) and canal builder (the Grand Canal), but a PR master? Not really.

Yes absolutely it is government’s role, not as a player (except for certain industry sectors) but as a facilitator, planner, rule maker and enforcer. Any keen observer of economic development would notice the significant role that governments have played in the process of industrialization for...

Despite vast majority of CPEC projects are BOT (Build- operate- transfers) types and they are investment in nature as opposed to debt, we continue to see news like this saying China demands massive repayment. This whole debt trap story has been going on for a while and has formed a logical flow...

As you rightly pointed out, Pakistan doesn’t have the luxury of sitting idle for another 2-3 decades and the window is closing very quickly. African countries like Ethiopia has been working really hard to attract foreign investment and try to catch up with China. They have been sending students...

Yes, he suggests that the helmet looks like HGU-55 used in PAF so likely that it was flew by Pakistani test pilot, indicating PAF is closely involved in block3 project.

May I ask what "latest Chinese equipment" you have worked on are specifically? Not aware any cutting edge Chinese equipment has been exported. The avionics on B3 is the most advanced equipment that China has shared with its partner.

This lineup is simply ridiculous! From small tactical drones to the massive strategical ones :china: As you rightly pointed out, in terms of size, engine power, payload, Satcom capability, there is no comparison between the MALE likes of CH4/Wing Loong and tactical drones like TB2 despite it is...

What indigenous people?
