I think Russia greatly benefited from sanctions and Chinese products that are far cheaper at import prices like construction machinery, Buses and Trucks. If there were no sanctions there would not be any impetus for so much construction simultaneously in many directions. The earlier you do the construction the better and this open more land for development. look at Germany every thing so expensive to built that housing construction basically half and rents are on record.Western sanctions on Russia is China's gain.
Long may the Western sanctions game continue! Sanction Russia, sanction Huawei, sanction Chinese officials, sanction Russian cats, sanction Chinese tomatoes. More sanctions please. Sanction them all!
According to Pop3, China is not shining military grade laser on their ship for shits and giggles. They are using optical fire control to acquire a lock on the ship for simulated attack. Using radar fire control would give away too much information on top of causing panic/misinterpretation.
I have a feeling that a similar incident earlier this year in which an Australian asset got lazed occurred under similar circumstances.
So, according to the simulation, this guy got pink misted"I actually got hit with the laser itself," Sailor 1st Class William Monkhouse-Beck told CBC News on the ship. "It can obviously cause permanent eye damage. What were they doing? We don't actually know. That's the danger of it."
Nobody is fully impervious to his/her own lies.Biden says Xi has significant problems like youth unemployment and an economic crisis.
Interestingly, this is not the first time Biden has mentioned tired Peter-Zeihan-level-stupid cliches about China. He did it in the SoU address and various other times for the last year and he seemed to me genuinely to believe them because he says it with such confidence. I'm really beginning to wonder whether the American political system has become so dysfunctional and delusional that it started to believe its own propaganda. I really wonder whether POTUS is getting proper intelligence about China.
LMAO. You people always start panicking whenever something like this happens. How foolish is it to look back on this after all three branches of China's military have exercised with the Thais, Pita is denied Prime Minister post, and even Thaskin has returned from exile?
They talked about Wolf Warrior 2 a damn lot, that I knowJust this one simple question is enough: "How often do Chinese people talk about American movies? Meanwhile, how often do American people talk about Chinese movies?"

Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman does not mince his words:
The signs are now unmistakable: China is in big trouble. We’re not talking about some minor setback along the way, but something more fundamental. The country’s whole way of doing business, the economic system that has driven three decades of incredible growth, has reached its limits. You could say that the Chinese model is about to hit its Great Wall, and the only question now is just how bad the crash will be.
That was in the summer of 2013.
That's all you need to know about forecasting China's economic growth by the Western MSM.
Change "China" to "American / Western businesses in China", and it makes more senseNobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman does not mince his words:
