    China's New Stealth Bomber: H-X / H-20

    Had Hitler been more militarily astute (i.e. listening to his generals), even the USSR would have been conquered. So instead of the Cold War being between the US and USSR, it would have been between the US against Nazi Germany, the latter of which would have been much harder to deal with than...

    China's New Stealth Bomber: H-X / H-20

    Why would it be? The only reason why the Z-20 was a large ripoff was because the PLAGF was so satisfied with the UH-60 in the first place. It wasn't because they couldn't design another medium transport helicopter you know.

    Shenyang J-15 aircraft carrier-based aircraft

    The petals definitely look like the top left WS-10 image more so than the top right. Of course we probably should get a clearer photo for confirmation.

    China’s Submarine Fleet, Evolution & news

    Indeed but until China deploys the 09Vs, their SSN fleet is still severely lacking against the USN. The 093B is comparable to the 688i, so the PLAN really needs the 09V to counter the Seawolf and Virginia class SSNs.

    China's New Stealth Bomber: H-X / H-20

    Modern militaries owe so much to German WWII military developments ... kinda makes you wonder how scary of a superpower Nazi Germany would have been had they actually won the war.

    Shenyang J-15 aircraft carrier-based aircraft

    Those look like WS-10s! Looks like WS-10 on J-15 Batch 03 is confirmed!

    Apple iPhone again best tech seller of the year, thanks to the working-from-home trend

    A 1000 dollar phone is fine if it lasts long. For example, the iPhones that nowaday sell for over 1000 bucks should easily last over 4 years ... the iPhones from a decade ago (e.g. iPhone 4, iPhone 5, iPhone 6) could hardly last beyond 2 years so the new iPhone value is actually better than old...

    US formally backs Japan against Russia, considers Kuril islands as Japanese land

    Do you really think one smoky Russian carrier is going to stand a chance against state of the art Izumo's with F-35Bs? Come on man. Regarding Russian SSNs, it is not going to be anything decisive because the area of conflict will be quite small, negating their range. Besides, Japan has those...

    US formally backs Japan against Russia, considers Kuril islands as Japanese land

    Did you forget that the UK had a significantly more powerful navy than that of Argentina ... just like Japan has over Russia? The JMSDF could just form a protective screen around the Kuril Islands and Russia could not break through with the meager assets they have in the far east. And let's not...

    South Korea’s population shrinks for first time ever, with trend expected to worsen amid Covid-19

    Turkey is pretty developed but its not close to South Korea though ... but then again South Korea is like in the top 10 of developed countries so it doesn't really matter. You cannot just attribute America's success to immigration ... without America's political or economic institutions, then...

    China provokes India again as it deploys tanks opposite Indian posts at LAC

    To be fair, time is not everything. Clearly utilization of time is also super important ... 8 years should be more than enough for a game like Cyberpunk but a lot of time was wasted on disagreements over the game conceptually rather than any actual engineering. The planning process was a...

    China provokes India again as it deploys tanks opposite Indian posts at LAC

    A crappy game with a bunch of bugs yes ... a good, refined video game needs a couple years.

    Investors Stay Away from Investing In Chinese Stocks. Chinese Stocks Waiting For A Steep Crash

    Why would there be a deep crash in Chinese stocks? The author of the article clearly does not have any fundamental insights into Chinese equities ... "deep crashes" don't come out of nowhere.

    China provokes India again as it deploys tanks opposite Indian posts at LAC

    Honestly they are just insecure about the Type 15 ... the finest high altitude light tank in the world versus their heavy Russian MBTs which can hardly operate in these environments is definitely enough to bring about huge insecurities on the Indian side.

    China provokes India again as it deploys tanks opposite Indian posts at LAC

    The tanks are probably there just for mop up operations against isolated hold outs. Truth is drones, artillery, and air strikes will be the most crucial.

    China May Have Deployed 100 Aircraft In Ladakh, But India Can Deploy Three Times More Due To Its Advantage — IAF Veteran

    If sitting on 1000 square kilometers of captured territory without firing a shot is considered defeat, we may as well change the definition of defeat lol.

    Tesla Model Y demand in China causes website slowdown, 100K orders within 10 hours

    As long as the firms comply with US accounting regulations, which I think they'll be forced to do, it shouldn't be a big issue IMO. With regards to crypto, don't get into something you don't fully understand. That is my mantra at least lol ... I cannot understand the potential of bitcoin.
