What is the current status of the JF-17 ? I haven't heard any news about this plane for some time. Is the PAF still buying them ? What happened to Block II and the WS-13 engine ? And how is China and Pakistan going to sell the JF-17 to other countries if the Russians have control over the RD-93...
The LCA isn't in service yet and it also isn't state of the art either, its comparible to the J-10, F-16 or Mirage 2000. Not to mention that both the engine and the radar and other components are foreign made. But its a good starting point for India none the less. But India is taking resources...
If we use this forum as a unscientific barometer of China's popularity you will see that the countries that China has disputes with like India, Philippines and Vietnam the members from those countries together with some of the western members here are generally hostile towards China. But other...
License or joint production is like working as a cook in the kitchen the chef may allow you to chop the vegetables or let you prepare some of the ingredients but he will never pass on to you the secret of the sauce. The only ways to develop a real domestic arms industry is either you do R&D and...
Why is this guy Surenas more concerned about China's potential influence in Iran rather than to be more concerned about the actions of nations that are imposing unilateral sanctions on Iran ?
As for the current talks between the US and Iran. I would presume that any deal for the Iranians must...
What do you know about the official policies in China? And to the farmer that has lost his land does it really matter rather its state sanctioned or not these people have lost their land with very little to no compensation.
Firstly the fact remains that India has nearly 5 times more people...
Really ? India doesn't force people off of their land ?

India doesn't have people working under inhumane conditions ? In a latest report on global slavery its noted that India has 14 million people working in slavery and China only has 2,9...
First of all China's reported GDP numbers doesn't come from the local governments but rather from the national Bureau of Statistics (NBS) who collect their own data. Your claim that India doesn't inflate economic data is for me a very dubious claim indeed. Because we have been hearing a lot of...
Kolops, how does the current elected government of Taiwan relate with the teachings of Confucius or how does it connect with the imperial system left behind by Qin Shi Huangdi ? Perhabs its you on Taiwan that needs to return to its roots.
Why would China want to strike at the US ? :what: They are doing a pretty good job destroying themselves.:lol: The Americans are now practising anti Sun Tzi "destroy your self to let your enemy win without losses". :rofl:
Its not going to work. Because they can't cut China out or even reduce its role in the regional or global economy no matter what they do. China does more trade then America does in the world today. China has become a integral part of the world economy. Cutting out China is like trying to cut out...
The problem is that QE a program to buy up US government and mortgage backed bonds combined with 0% interest rate has turned the entire US bond market (about 36 trillion $) into one huge bubble and the same thing is happening to the stock market in the US (about 34 trillion $) and not to mention...
Its true that India's economy today is where China roughly was between 2003 and 2004. But the difference between China and India's economy is that China throughout this period had a current account surplus while India is constantly having a current account deficit. China was growing in a period...
The Indian currency has stabilized in recent weeks due to a combination of factors. One is of course the taper in the US that didn't happen. Second are the measures that the new central bank chief has brought in. And third is that the Indian government seems finally to be succesful in cracking...
The problem with the increase in US oil and gas production is that more and more of it comes from shale exploration. As the article states most of the production increases comes from "unconventional sources". There are 2 problems with shale exploration.
One is that its polluting the ground...
Aquino need to follow the law himself before lecturing others and stop claiming territory that is not his own. Didn't the Philipinnes and Malaysia had a altercation earlier this year ? Wasn't that about territorial disputes ? Didn't Philipinnes coast guard shot dead a Taiwanese fisherman earlier...
Then again in America you have the case of Aaron Swartz and he maybe just the tip of the iceberg.

I doubt that this is only Ranbaxy that's doing it. Remenber the indians are not creating any medicine of there own dvelopment but rather what India creats are what's called generic drugs those are cheaper copycat drugs from other countries and companies. But what is happening here is worst than...
I think China was right not to allow Indian medicines into the Chinese market. This will also pour cold water on the notion that India creats quality products as it is so often claimed here and elsewhere on the internet by Indians...
