I don't see any possibility of jointly developing a bomber with Russia. The Russians seem to be obsessed with selling the Su-35 to China with one news report after another but there is no substance to it. Weren't we suppose to sign that contract like two years ago?
Strategic bombers are too...
It is pretty sad that China's air is so bad. It will take a long time to clean up. Also it saddens me to see China being compared to that hellhole India... The bar is indeed sinking.
There is no need. =
I believe that, if China takes Taiwan by force, then China has already lost. The only victory for China is a peaceful resolution that can be reunification, confederacy, or some sort of framework. Remember that the Art of War defines victory as reaching the objective...
Taiwan's future as an Independent nation is not possible. However, it can keep the autonomy under the status quo.
I think it is a good time for both sides to sign a peace treaty, and negotiate a frame work of a very loose confederation. This way Taiwan can keep its constitution, government...
It is actually very important. The Indian Rupee is not an internationally accepted currency (sans the case of the Iran which was under sanction). During the fall, the Indian forex reserve also dwindled and stayed consistently below 300 billion, which is too small for an economy that largely...
It is basically Aquino says: "haha, thanks for bailing my behind out, so I can continue to play off China while exploiting the people of the Philippines living in my giant mansion and paying people like Zero_wing to spread my corrupt propaganda".
99% people in the Philippines don't give two...
India just raised the rates. I understand that you need to shore up the rupee when the feds are tightening, but in an economy like this is nuts. But again, your new money chief is a former IMF guy and a Chicago guru so let's hope that his wisdom holds some merit.
Your post is utter nonsense. Asking for democracy has nothing to do with the UK. Hong Kong has the right to ask for a better future for itself, including a better form of governance. The UK would have allowed a more independent Hong Kong if not for the history with China. If you want an...
The fact is that air in most parts of China is very polluted and we shouldn't sidestep the issue no matter who is criticizing us, because in the end it would be us who get sick. We should press for a cleaner standard and especially higher petro refining standard.
Free election is important to Hong Kong's future. Hong Kong needs a government that reflects the wish of the population, and the current one has proven to be oblivious and in bed with property tycoons and big corporations. Inflation, wage stagnation, and pollution have hit Hong Kong hard and...
This is a strange article. The Tejas is a short range, defensive interceptor just like the Mig-21 it is intended to replace. If the cost goes down, which is a big question mark given the number of foreign components, it might also be useful for anti-insurgency operations.
