I genuinely can't remember if Boom Aerospace was discussed on this form or not, and I don't know if this belongs in World News or another forum.

But anyways, one of the things a lot of people (can't remember if it was on this forum or another forum/reddit, and definitely happened in real life) did to try and downplay China's C919 flights and China's developing aerospace industry in general was to point to Boom Aerospace. Basically it was another "America's back, baby!" thing.

Well, here's how its going:

Not only does it need to pass, not only does the money need to not be siphoned away, not only does the money need to be used not buying overpriced equipment, not only does that equipment have to be as advertised, not only does that equipment need trained and competent operators, not only does that equipment need to be properly maintained, but that equipment also needs to not be destroyed in the first salvo. Then, and only then, will that equipment meet the Chinese forces it was purchased to fight.

At the current time, Taiwan has displayed none of those things. This is just another way to move US taxpayer money into the coffers of the US MIC.

@FairAndUnbiased There is so much "'Murica is back" stuff going on these days that turned out to be scams its honestly baffling how people still fall for it.

Edit: And just out of the interest of equality yes, there was that "Above road Bus" thing that was supposed to be rolled out in China a few years back. That didn't turn out well. But no-one cancelled China's high-speed rail in anticipation of that! Scams (or overambitious projects) exist. Thats fine. Putting your real, actual development plans on the backs of them, is obviously stupid.

No actually you're right. Clearly what's been demonstrated is that its completely futile to resist the Imperialists in any way, shape or form. In fact everything they claim is reality and they've never announced any plans that later fall through.

Clearly.

Obviously when the reunification event happens the US will be able to all upon the entire world, who rightly enjoy high quality of life from the massive investments from the B3W. After all, the world jumps when the US comes calling, right?

Not long ago, there was the saying by the west "China will be forced to comply with the Russian-Sanction", "Chinese business shun Russian in fear of Western threat", one example is the Unipay story.
The funny thing is everyone can see china will be next in line for all out western sanctions in the event of a taiwan conflict. Heck, Obama started pivot to asia, which is mostly military in nature, Trump started a trade war, tried to destroy Huawei and China hi tech sector even before a conflict. Which is essentially continued by Biden. All this while unleashing a world wide propaganda campaign to destabilise Xinjiang, Tibet, HK and TW.

But the west still expect china to side with them and destroy china's large neighbour and strategic partner so they can concentrate on China next. It's bizarre.

Yeah, George W. Bush Jr. said "mission accomplished" in 2003. See where is that mission now? Or what was that mission acheieved really? Only time can tell, and certainly not short time some people wish.
true, Only time can tell if Taiwan could displayed or not all of those things...
