And the message is recieved loud and clear. The USAF and the USN air arm is in trouble. Their existing fleet of fighter jets are getting old and the F-35 isn't ready for prime time yet.
China Uncensored = Falung Gong = not credible
What China needs to do to reduce pollution is to go easy on infrastructure development and close down some of the steel mills and cement factories.
China and the Soviet Union didn't have the resources to be "generous" like the US. And China despite its great progress over the past 35 years is still a poor country today. That Star Wars thing from Ronnie Raygun was merely a political ploy. Nothing came of it. I don't see the US sharing their...
Building a city and a industrial base around the Gwadar sea port is a good idea, but building a "Chinese only city" is not. It should be open to everyone.
It requires money and technology that Pakistan at the moment don't have. But once the Pakistani economy starts growing again then there will...
Does Pakistan need a twin seated JF-17 Thunder ? Because Pakistan is the main user of the JF-17 Thunder. If Pakistan doesn't need the twin seated plane then it doesn't make much sense to develop it. You don't put so much money and effort to develop a plane so that you just can show it off to...
I admit that the one child policy is not ideal and that China will face some pressure in the future. But the alternative for China is that it will be more like India with hordes of poorly educated and unemployable youth.
Its not going to happen. The JF-17 Thunder was designed and built for Pakistan and based on Pakistani requirements. Anyone that tells you that China will induct these planes are either lying or they just don't know what they are talking about.
The fact is that there are a large portion of the Indian population with very little education and formal skills out there and more are joining their ranks each year. A few good universities don't change that fact. A country cannot be run by university gradutes alone. And it remains a fact that...
A young and burgeoning population can be an economic asset but a young and burgeoning population with little education or formal skills can also be a huge economic burden as well. And that is were India is at today. The education level of the average Indians now is were China was in the 1980's...
Doesn't come as a surprise. But if the US is trying to maintain her dominance in the world by under cutting her competitors it will fail. Because the biggest threat to her position in the world doesn't come from China or Russia but from within. Instead of spending so much time scheming against...
I don't believe in the lewd stories of her "doing a lot more" in the Middle East or she is having an affair with any of the Malik brothers. Its more likely that she was living beyond her means and has considerable amount of debt that she cannot pay. And she is doing this either for the money or...
How much of a carreer as a singer and model does she have outside of Pakistan ? I certainly never heard of her before I came to this thread. And what do you mean she does a lot more than that for a lot of people in the Middle East ?o_O
Guys what is going on here ?o_O How can 3 helicopters stir such emotions on all sides ? Pakistan needs the helicopters and China needs combat data to improve future designs. The helicopters for the data no more no less. For those looking for ulterior motives for this "gift" there it is.
China began low end manufacturing for foreign companies in the 1980's and was able to move steadily up the value chain over the years. China has build up a wealth of experience, infrastructure and skills over the years. Those can't be replicated so easily. Especially when China today is moving...
The US and other countries companies cannot just get out of China like that. Not only because of the ecosystem, potential market and the low cost but also because of the skills that are in China. Most of the lower end manufactures for export like those making t-shirts and handbags or doing...
Do I believe that China has a Uygher problem ? Yes! Do I believe that China can do better ? Yes! But I don't believe its the place of the Turks to involve themselves with this issue. Because its a internal matter of China and because of Turkey's own historical trackrecord dealing with...
