B-Man Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Why China Could Soon Invade Taiwan Biden, unfortunately, has been openly appeasing China in the last several months, and that might give Xi the idea that the U.S. would not defend Taiwan, at least before January 20, 2025. When Will China Invade Taiwan? –Xi Jinping cannot stop talking about war, he is fast preparing China’s civilians and military for it, and he demands that Taiwan submit to his communist state. As the Chinese foreign ministry declared on the 15th of this month, Taiwan is “the core of the core interests of China.” The people of Taiwan, who mostly do not view themselves as “Chinese,” will not agree to Xi annexing their homeland, so he will have to take the island republic by force if he is to rule it. That raises one of the most important questions in the world today: When will China invade? https://www.19fortyfive.com/2023/08/why-china-could-soon-invade-taiwan/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precision Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Near-shoring, the move of production from China to Mexico has been going on for years and accelerating recently as companies look for alternatives to China. Labor costs have been lower in Mexico than China for the past 10 years. This has been particularly advantageous for US companies. Mexico's close proximity allow for an easier transition from product development to production and allows the US company to actively manage production. As an example, going from product development to production is always difficult but the distance to Mexico makes it easier to send engineers to the production site to resolve any issues. Also, communication is easier as well since Mexico is aligned with the US time zones. With goods bound for the US, Mexico has had a unique advantage over China as transit times are much shorter which allows faster responses to demand and product lifecycle issues. Also, the goods produced in Mexico bypass the logistic problems of overseas shipping and the bottlenecks at ports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Moves Six Warships into the Middle East Amid Rising Tensions Please remember the global economics of the thing always aligns with the motives and outcomes of the thing.

Tiberius Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Kind of an interesting article about Chinese submarines apropos of our sub fleet. Article talks a lot about the stealth ability of subs yet really doesn't address the radical new role sub warfare has taken on since the advent of cruise missiles. https://www.wsj.com/world/china/us-submarine-dominance-shift-china-8db10a0d Quote Early this year, China put to sea a nuclear-powered attack submarine with a pump-jet propulsion system instead of a propeller, satellite imagery showed. It was the first time noise-reducing technology used on the latest American submarines had been seen on a Chinese submarine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
