What's even worse is the global mortality for 2020 is estimated at 7.7 per thousand, approximately 6 million people have died this year already (all causes). So not enough is being done to stop people dying from death. Only 562 people have died from this insignificant little outbreak of...

Odin and Eitri crafted Stormbreaker for Beta ray bill in Thor v1 339 as a reward for besting Thor in single unarmed combat. https://comiconlinefree.com/thor-1966/issue-339 If you haven't read it, Walt Simonsons acclaimed four year run on Thor started in Thor 337. The Ragnarok saga culminated...

Beta ray bills Stormbreaker from the comics.

I'll ask again: So you don't think FDI is up because China has artificially raised returns on debt instruments and equities, and is actually using most of the FDI surplus to balance its current account? The graph you just posted just tells us what we already know, that the FDI is up.

Any chance of the Block 3 making an appearance at the next Paris Air Show?

I was going to ask you about him (motives etc) then thought what the hell do I care. It's pretty obvious why he's doing it, all rather clumsy really. Edit: I just watched his D&G parody. It's obvious he's been living in China for awhile, he gets the local culture and humor. But he seems to have...

Is he the guy who makes you-tube clips like 'serpentza is a fraud', and pro-huawei clips? Who is he? I don't want to waste my time watching his clips, but he is like those annoying anti-captain marvel/brie larson youtubers, his clips keep showing up in my recommended list.

I want to avoid getting into anything resembling an argument. I understand and respect your position, there is a great deal of wisdom in what you say but we appear to having entirely different discussions. I am going to take the advice of Lao Zi and leave it at that,'one who knows does not say...

I'm not talking in a literal sense, I'm referring to what drives the decision making. It might manifest differently between the two nation states but the Ego bound state of their respective leaders is nearly identical. To be honest, many world leaders today have similar Ego structures, and by...

I see two sides doing exactly the same thing, with exactly the same underlying thought processes at work. Who is right and who is wrong? To view this conflict without judgement or interpretation, there is no objective right or wrong, just self interest. Unfortunately for the rest of the world...

There's an obvious question for you, and somebody's going to ask it: are you planning on moving back? I'm not trying to be a smart-arse asking that, I'm curious as to how polarized Chinese Americans are feeling. Does it depend on how long they may have lived in the US (or how many generations)...

Mountain Pass was reopened last January by it's current owner MP Materials. It's current rate of production and extraction is 4,700 tons per year, and is fully self sufficient. https://mpmaterials.com/

In the short term maybe as the article suggests. It's difficult to assess how industry would be affected by Chinese export restrictions. The CEO of the company operating Mountain Pass Mine is on record stating that production could be upscaled within 18 months from its current 4,700 tons per...

The US CPI has also dropped from 2.3% to 2% since September when the first round of tariffs were introduced. https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2019/cpi-increased-2-point-0-percent-for-year-ending-april-2019.htm Inflation is currently at 2%, falling from 2.3% in September...

Moving forward it's hard to say if the WTO is going to have much influence in the trade war. They've proved ineffective in resolving a lot of the trade issues to date.

China not only produces more than it requires, it also processes raw REEs sourced from other nations. Restricting export supply, particularly during the present trade tensions, would quite obviously be in retaliation for US tariffs and other actions. Last time they restricted supply they tried...

It won't be easy, but if import restrictions were imposed production can be scaled up particularly if the mine were nationalized. China has outmaneuvered the US for several decades now with REEs. It's amazing how they have slipped up continuously allowing China to corner the market, and through...

The same move that was pulled on Molycorp back in 2015, effectively bankrupting them and closing the Mountain Pass mine in California. It probably won't work again because of the likelihood that if China imposes restrictions on REE exports, the Mountain Pass mine would be nationalized by...

Will some of these app stores follow Googles move, or rather will they be subject to the same bill banning Google from allowing Huawei access? And how extensive are these alternative app stores?
