    USA and Europe both want China to mediate Ukraine.

    But for China even touching Ukraine is a no win situation. Still, it would show leadership, sometimes leaders have to take an obvious loss for the sake of stopping the world from blowing up.

    It's a valid question. What is an international reputation and how does one improve it?
    The thing with China seems to be a lose-lose scenario because of the asymmetrical balance of power. Probably best to adhere to political norms and avoid the interaction which can only serve to damage us.
    Having something in excess that other people want or need.

    Canada has invented a corollary to that problem to ensure we have no international value:

    Having something in excess that other people want or need; that you are physically or politically able to give.

    If you have nothing to offer you are worthless

    They would accept oil or gas on boats in the Pacific.
    They do accept our lumber and coal.

    If Canada was worth more, the USA would have invaded decades ago.

    Wait, we are upset the Xi has beef with Trudeau? Isn't that a good thing? Would be upset about Hitler making disparaging remarks about William Lyon Mackenzie King?

    I find it funny that he must be so agitated at JT that Xi would break from his usually stoic persona. The less secrets the better. Dialogue between heads of state should be made public unless it risks nation safety.

    China finished off about 200 J-20 fighter aircraft.



    No idea if its better than the F-22, but they look kinda similar. No doubt a lot was copied. But I'd say its pretty safe to assume its better than the F-35.

    I don't follow this. But US military experts, Colonel MacGregor etc call the F35 junk.

    What's the story?
    MAGA = My Ass Got Arrested.

    Beware the passive aggressive Mean Girls. Vengie, Killramos, Penismightier, buster, jrscoolude, etc who bully others into their circle jerk opinion, serially negging you, while claiming they ignore you and don't obsess over you.

    PSA. High school is not a popularity contest little girls

    No they are not better if intel is correct due to inferior engines. But it doesn't matter. Russians have already show us how stupid these fighters are and they really won't be used at all. They are only for power projection, and probably useless IRL.

    Yes, everything done on J20 is off stolen plans off F35/22

    Not going to lie, was in Miramar in 2018 to see the F35s in action during air show and saw a bunch MPs swamping one Chinese man in particular and escorted him somewhere.

    The Chinese use actual Chinese people as spies?

    If China wants to spy on the US, they should use whiteys.

    (China PM me for contact info, my rates are reasonable)

    They need to use Chinese spies because they can exert control on the individuals family back in the motherland. That's how they control their people abroad. Not just "proper" spies either, they do this shit to normal people who have family back there if they think there's some advantage to be gained from where you work, study or live.

    What would motivate a white person, money? Shit, that's weak control.

    Its all digital nowadays. The US patent office is actually the main source of much Chinese technology. They literally use it like a library.

    Chinese know what works, and what patents expire and immediately jump on anything that is even slightly better than what already exists. Right down to the angle of a pop bottle opener.

    This is also why cheap Chinese stuff is often better than expensive established made in USA. USA got lazy about efficiency. IE: If a ball bearing can be made 1% better by using 0.2% more chromimum, 0.05% more nickel and two grains of silicon sand - China will be producing it in a matter of days. Whereas the USA? Heinz Ketchup formula hasn't changed in a hundred fitty years.

    Also probably the reason that China figured out hypersonic before the USA.

    Lol, you will never find anything military related in the patent office. That's why none of the Space X stuff other than Starlink are patented.
