The United States wants to be No 1 forever : But ..........
Backward and corrupt USA making hay while the sun shines...there is no tomorrow for the Americans
The USA already knew their drone technology is behind
DJI which was probably their agenda to do DJI in, just like doing TikTok
in from competing with the likes of Youtube and other USA grown social
media.
Think about it. If USA drone technology is better than
DJI, why is there a need to take down DJI with spurious claims. Were the
USA thinking of forcing DJI to sell its drone technology and secrets to
a USA entity just like forcing TikTok to do the same? How could DJI be
accused of stealing USA drone technology when it is ahead of the USA in
the game? Does this make any sense? Why not use the same argument
against TikTok and accuse it of stealing USA tech instead of using the
National Security hubris?
China is now more advance in drone
technology for sure and knowing that drones will play a very important
part in future wars makes the USA paranoid. Even Iran is now well versed
in drone manufacturing and the recent skirmish against Israel is just
an indication of the tip of the iceberg.
The USA may be spending
hundreds of billions more than others on military equipment, and even if
China and Iran may be spending less, the latter two get more bang for
the buck. The USA Reaper Drones cost US$30** million each. Compare that
to the cheaper Chinese and Iranian drones and you can understand how
bloated the USA defense budget has become. Oh, not to forget the US$600
toilet seat covers that was reported, and a bag of some kind of pins
costing hundreds of dollars which the Chinese could supply for US$10.
The USA military contractors are so corrupt it is unbelievable.
When
the US$ hegemony ends, and when toilet paper printing is curtailed,
then the whole picture is going to change substantially. For now, the
USA is just making hay while the sun shines, spending like no tomorrow.
Actually, tomorrow for them is an uncertain future.

What will happen to Europe when it is hollowed out by the Americans?
Politicians in NATO do not care if the EU goes back to
'babysitting' after being hollowed out by de-industrialization after
sanctioning Russia and decoupling from China. Who else is going to trade
with or invest in the EU? Oh yes, there is still the UK, right? They
can continue to slide down the slope clutching each other tightly
together.
NATO can continue to threaten China with seizure of
Chinese assets in Europe, but at what price? What Russia did against
Western companies is already apparent, using the tit for tat method.
Compared to Western assets in Russia, it is no exaggeration that USA and
EU assets in China probably runs into trillions, which can also be
collateral damage material. China already passed a law to enable seizure
of foreign assets under a tit for tat move. But, of course, USA and EU
leaders care two hoots about private assets seized by the Chinese. To
them that is just collateral damage.
Russia and China can always
trade with each other and there are the other countries in the Global
South willing to engage in trade with China. Who does not want cheaper
products instead of paying an arm and a leg for expensive toys from the
USA and EU? Would Global South consumers be willing to pay three times
the price of an EV made in USA or EU compared to China? Common sense
will tell us who they will choose.

Trump assassination - A picture tells a hundred truths
Let's assume that this photo is the real stuff, ask how is this taken, by who, at what angle and distance and by what camera.To capture the moment a bullet travelling about 3 times the speed of sound, even intentionally, carefully organised, by the best photographer, etc etc, is quite impossible. This shot is a freak shot, a miracle of sort.
The speed of the bullet is faster than the speed of sound. This means that the bullet would have gone passed Trump before one could hear the sound of the firing. Thus, a photographer cannot anticipate when to press the button on the camera. The clarity of the shot means that it is likely taken by a DSLR at very high speed, like 1/4000 or 1/8000 sec. A high speed video camera could capture the same pic. In an event like the rally, no one would be thinking of shooting the event by video or still camera using very high speed. It was not needed.
The pic also said that the camera was quite near to Trump and at about the same level, not from the ground or from high above. It could be slightly lower than Trump to capture the sky and not the spectators. For the photographer to shoot this pic at very high speed is very telling. Was he preparing to capture a bullet to fly pass Trump? So, this is likely to be a fluke shot, by a fluke photographer that somehow set the camera at very high speed, using likely a DSLR.
What did the pic revealed? There was a shooter firing the shot at a level much lower than the roof of the supposed shooter, Thomas Crooks. The shot could not be fired from the roof of the barn, so not from Crooks.
From a report by the police, the event became more bizarre. A man with a rifle on the roof of the barn must have triggered an alert. An assassin that must be stopped quick and fast. To shoot on sight at the first opportunity. There must be urgency, an emergency or crisis situation. The people assigned to prevent such an eventuality must have jumped and be all excited, guns pulled and ready to shoot at the first opportunity.
It was reported that two police officers climbed up the building where the shooter was. The shooter saw them first and pointed the rifle at them. They quickly ducked. The shooter turned around and almost immediately shot at Trump. See all the loopholes in this police report?
What was on the mind of the two police officers. Going up for a peek, or with adrenalin pumping, going up for the kill? And they sneaked up from behind the shooter. How did the shooter, proned and aiming at Trump, be the first to spot them, turned around and pointed the rifle at them? Would it be more likely that they saw the shooter first, and could have fired immediately? It seemed that there was no urgency or no sense of a security threat, that the shooter was there to assassinate Trump.
The shooter, armed with a plain AR15, without a scope, without all the necessary gadgets of a sniper, compared the weapons of the two police snipers on the roof, look at the weapons they had, could this standard AR15 be able to hit Trump at more than 130m away by a 20 year, not trained as a sniper? And the shooter was in a hurry, not taking his time, was under pressure with two policemen on his back, could aim and squeeze the trigger like a pro, no panic, no fear, no anxiety? He was alarmed by the policemen, turned back quickly, and fired immediately using an ordinary AR15, and hit Trump from a distance of 130m! This Crooks must be a super sniper, with a super AR15 to get his job done. Possible? Really?
Could Crooks be just a decoy, a distraction, when there was another sniper with a real sniper rifle that fired the shot, in the comfort of secrecy, not rushed, not pressured, at his own time and choosing?
What do you think?
Is Taiwan a part of China?
The PRC has been living under the farcical notion of a one China Policy and all countries with diplomatic relations would regard Taiwan as a part of China. This is only true on paper, or at most a lip service. The Americans are still selling weapons to Taiwan 'to help them to defend against China'. What does this mean? The Taiwanese are not only having their own govt and legal system, police and armed forces, but also drew territorial boundaries on air and the sea to keep China out. And China recognises these territorial boundaries, de facto and de jure, and would keep its people, ships and aircraft out of these territorial boundaries.
So, is Taiwan a part of China, a piece of Chinese territory? Historical factors may have imposed this unique relationship between China and its territorial island, Taiwan. It is like having to leave with the Unequal Treaties of the 19th Century imposed on a weak and defeated China. Unequal Treaties were imposed on a defeated China by the foreign powers when China was weak. Now that China is strong and the foreign powers are weak, would China still want to abide by the Unequal Treaties? Would China want to maintain or live with the status quo of a renegade island, Taiwan and pretend that it is a part of China when Chinese people, ships and aircraft cannot have free access to Taiwan, because the renegade govt said so?
Should China
officially announce that there is no more artificial boundaries, land,
air or sea around Taiwan and all the islands, and the people, ships,
aircraft from both sides of the Straits are free to move around as from
one country under the jurisdiction of Chinese laws? The Taiwanese Coast
Guard, Police, military etc etc can still maintain law and order to
support the PLA and Chinese Coast Guards in the land, sea and air over
and around Taiwan. Any Taiwanese Coast Guard, Police or military that
dares to act otherwise against Chinese from the mainland would be
breaking Chinese laws and would be arrested? For the time being, Taiwan
can still have autonomy in handling its domestic affairs until the two
sides agreed on the terms of unification of Taiwan with the Motherland.
Chinese ships and aircraft, military or civilian, can fly or sail all
over Taiwan freely as long as they did not pose any risk of safety or
collision.
