    The USA has accepted the illegitimacy of its decision! The dialogue begins again for a solution in the F-35 program

    I was about to say the same thing basically. He is misinterpreting which side is referred to in the comment '... the removal of any partner from here can only be unanimous of all partners or withdrawn by its own will'. This would be the US sides will, suppliers are almost always sub-ordinate to...

    IBM has created smallest and most advanced microchip in the world at 2nm

    It's IBM not Intel, and the article states that IMB intends to licence out production, probably to TSMC and Samsung etc.

    NZ slams China for ‘severe human rights abuses’ against Uighurs

    And that question has already been answered by a parliamentary inquiry (including apology from our prime minister), no doubt you didn't bother reading it or weren't interested. I suppose you think our governement should spend millions of dollars to launch another inquiry because a random guy on...

    SpaceX launches another 60 Starlink satellites; lands booster

    Not sure if you have your tinfoil hat correctly fitted, there seems to be something interferring with your higher brain functions. Maybe a bit of adjustment is in order, then try and post something that is intelligeble.

    Chinese man seeking ‘freedom and equality’ says he travelled to Taiwan in dinghy

    Yeah so much for Marx's idea of a classless society, it's the great myth of marxist/leninist and communist theory.

    New Zealand leader Ardern takes tougher stance on China

    Good to see our leadership starting to take the right position on China and align our interests with those of the rest of the free world. Better that we get everything out in the open and deal with the inevitable 'consequences' from the CCP, we'll be better off in the long run but will take a...

    Tesla's China Problem

    I'll reserve judgement until I find some head to head reviews including Waymo, until then I don't have an opinion.

    Have there been any independent third party reviews comparing the two companies self driving tech? What is the basis for your opinion?

    I have been thinking over this new Chinese digital money it could technically solve the world's need

    Central bank digital currencies are not alternative, they are still part of m1 and m2 base money supply. The value of the digital rmb is therefore connected directly to the rmb, it is interchangable with it and the yuan. If it was a separate currency it would be less stable and liquid, two...

    Comparing total tonnages of USN and PLAN main surface combatant platforms within 2021-2030 projections

    It is doubtful that China can afford to increase production indefinitely whilst maintaining it's fleet and personal costs. Much like the Soviet Union before them, China could drive itself broke trying to keep up with the US. There are already signs they are hitting the wall such as the 004 AC...

    America’s fantasy that China will soon collapse like the Soviet Union

    The problem with all of these reports is that they rely on the CCPs official numbers. I can't reference the reports I read [it's pay walled] from a wall street analyst who specialises in China but after drilling down the CCPs own figures contradict the 'headline' numbers they report each year...

    America’s fantasy that China will soon collapse like the Soviet Union

    The actual nominal gdp figure is somewhere between 10 to 11 trillion, the over calculation started in 2012 according to a range of stats including tax filings. Overstating gdp numbers is incentivized from the local level up with officials punished for not meeting targets, so they just lie to...

    Ex-Tesla Engineer [Cao Guangzhi] Admits To Downloading Code, Settles Suit

    Ah right, is that similar to Waymos approach? Also, there is a news item about a Tesla model s crashing on autopilot, any thoughts?

    Ex-Tesla Engineer [Cao Guangzhi] Admits To Downloading Code, Settles Suit

    Shameless theft. Why didn't they just call their company Xesla. I like the part where Xpeng stated "Tesla has failed to show any credible evidence that XMotors ever possessed, let alone used, any Tesla information from Dr. Cao.”, but refused access to their source code to cover up the theft...

    Amazons The Lord of the Rings to be the largest and most expensive television series ever made

    There are rumors of woke elements being woven into the storylines, I hope they aren't going to butcher Tolkien the same way that Star Trek, Star Wars any other franchises have gone.

    COVID-19: Indian double mutation variant arrives in Britain and has 'hallmarks of very dangerous virus'

    It's easier for countries like ours which are island nations to implement travel restrictions, I'm not sure if this is a practical option for many nations. Nearly all of our international traffic enters through one airport. [edit:I just realized you are in the UK, it should be possible for your...

    Official: Chinese vaccines’ effectiveness low

    I completely agree, the Global times for example ran a series of articles back in January attcking the Pfizer vaccine with false allegations linking it to deaths in Norway. https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202101/1212939.shtml Chinese media criticise Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, tout local shots...

    Opinionated - China Chipping Away to Semiconductor Dominance

    You're getting awfully excited about this story, this is the third time you've posted it today. This is a beat up, optical computing isn't new and has far too many drawbacks to replace semi-conductors. It's use is going to remain restricted to niche applications.
