What a genius plan by the Greens. All new cars must be electric. All electricity produced will be unaffordable. Wreck the economy and environment in one stroke.

Or maybe Elon Musk conducting a live test of how many actual bots are there on Twitter for his court case...
All Russophobic power attacked Elon Musk after his proposal to resolve the Ukrainian-Russian conflict. Russophobes especially did not like that he called the transfer of Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR a mistake. Elon Musk reported that his account was massively attacked by bots. Politicians from the US and Europe jumped on him, and Tesla shares fell 9%. And all this in a matter of minutes.
Its probably the only sensible solution to the Ukraine war. Ukrainians know they would never win a referendum so they will always oppose it.
Still...it's funny seeing the twitter SJWs turn on each other, they're like piranhas when it comes to
U.S. Said to Plan New Limits on China’s A.I. and Supercomputing Firms
The new rules could be the most sweeping action taken yet by the Biden administration to thwart China’s access to American technology that powers data centers and supercomputers.The Biden administration is expected to announce new measures to restrict Chinese companies from getting access to technologies that enable high-performance computing, according to several people familiar with the matter, the latest in a series of moves aimed at hobbling Beijing’s ambitions to craft next-generation weapons and automate large-scale surveillance systems.
The measures, which could be announced as soon as this week, would be some of the most significant steps taken by the Biden administration to cut off China’s access to advanced semiconductor technology. They would build on a to the Chinese telecom giant Huawei by prohibiting companies around the world from sending it products made with the use of American technology, machinery or software.
A number of Chinese firms, government research labs and other entities are expected to face restrictions similar to Huawei, according to two people with knowledge of the plans. In effect, any firm that uses American-made technologies would be blocked from selling to the Chinese entities that are targeted by the administration. It’s not yet clear which Chinese firms and labs would be affected.
The broad expansion of what is known as the foreign direct product rule is just one part of Washington’s planned restrictions. The administration is also expected to try to control the sale of cutting-edge U.S.-made tools to China’s domestic semiconductor industry.
Washington also plans to limit U.S.-made microchips from being sold to China’s most powerful supercomputing and data center projects, the people said. That limitation could end up inhibiting the ability of major academic institutions and internet firms like Alibaba and Tencent from getting the parts they need to build leading data centers and supercomputers.
Over time, as supercomputer performance levels rise, the cap could seriously hinder China’s ability to develop the powerful number-crunching technology that forms the building block of innovations across an array of fields, including the biosciences, artificial intelligence and missile engineering. Curbs on chips and chip-making tools were .
The Biden administration has also been readying an executive order that would allow the government to scrutinize the investments that U.S. companies made abroad for national security risks, and considering other measures that could apply to the Chinese memory chip maker Yangtze Memory Technologies Company, or YMTC, several people familiar with the discussions said.
Orville Schell, a longtime China scholar at the Asia Society, said the American government was moving to separate American and Chinese supply chains on semiconductors and semiconductor technology, given their importance not just for national economies but also weapons systems and other military applications.
In the last one to two months, U.S. officials have become increasingly concerned with Chinese companies that make midrange semiconductors, not just the smallest, most cutting-edge technology, Mr. Schell said. That’s because those older products are still critical components for weapons, and officials do not want Chinese chip makers to use technology from the United States or partner nations to produce those chips. And they do not want the Chinese companies to become global suppliers.
“That’s quite a remarkable expansion of our concerns,” he said, adding that YMTC was a prime example of this kind of company.
The White House declined to comment on the planned restrictions. A spokesperson for the Bureau of Industry and Security at the Commerce Department, which has authority over the types of technology that companies can export out of the United States, said they could not confirm anything at this point.
If enacted, the measures will be the strongest push to date by the United States to hit at China’s flourishing supercomputer and data center market. Many Chinese universities, state-run companies and internet firms run supercomputers that have a range of abilities. Plenty are used for important, if prosaic, tasks like analyzing road traffic, managing social networks or predicting weather, but analysts and researchers have shown how others are used for more malign purposes.
China to power invasive surveillance systems that target ethnic minorities. Others have been used by Beijing to model nuclear blasts and design next-generation weapons that could evade American defenses.
For instance, in the western Chinese region of Xinjiang, where hundreds of thousands of minority Uyghurs have been interned and surveilled, a supercomputer built has been used to process footage collected from ubiquitous video cameras in the area. Both Intel and Nvidia have said they were unaware of what they called misuse of their technology.
The U.S. government has sought to curb the flow of technology to projects like these in recent years, but those efforts have been frustrated by the wide availability of powerful microchips.
Many such products that are sold to China are manufactured outside the United States, meaning the U.S. government’s traditional methods of regulation, which focus on products exported from the United States, don’t apply. So officials in the Trump and Biden administrations have turned to leveraging the foreign direct product rule, a sweeping regulation that prevents products made anywhere in the world with the help of U.S. technology, machinery or software from being sold to China. Even semiconductors manufactured in other countries are often made with the use of U.S. equipment and software.
The Biden administration has faced some criticism that it has moved slowly to curb China’s access to cutting-edge U.S. technology. For many administration officials, China’s recent progress in in semiconductor manufacturing underscored the urgent need for more expansive regulation in the industry, people familiar with the discussions said.
The export controls are part of a bigger strategy from the Biden administration to starve China of key technologies while . The measures come as Beijing , which produces almost all of the world’s advanced semiconductors.
In remarks at the White House last month, Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser, that the U.S. government had previously tried to stay a few generations ahead of competitors in certain key technologies, but that the approach was no longer tough enough.
“Given the foundational nature of certain technologies, such as advanced logic and memory chips, we must maintain as large of a lead as possible,” he said.
The Biden administration has cited its as a powerful tool to punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, saying it will cripple Russia’s defense, technology, energy and other critical sectors in the long term. American officials say they can apply the same tool to other rival nations, notably China, to address national security challenges. The officials say the Trump administration’s use of export controls aimed at hobbling Huawei served as a model for how they formulated the controls on Russian companies.
Last month, the Biden administration on the sale of some sophisticated computer chips to China and Russia. Those limits focused on high-end models of chips known as graphic processing units sold by Silicon Valley companies like Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices. The products, originally made to render images in video games, have become critical for large computers that are used to train artificial intelligence algorithms.
Paul Triolo, senior vice president for China at Albright Stonebridge Group, a strategy firm, said that the move was “probably the strongest sort of regulatory and export control statement that the U.S. government has made with respect to China’s access to U.S. technology,” and that it was coming at a sensitive time for the Chinese leadership, ahead of a meeting of the 20th congress of the Communist Party, which will begin Oct. 16.
“The administration,” he said, “is putting its foot down here.”

If funding is not there so how they put 30,000 people on single project which was not before?. those are August and september statements. pay attention to UAE and India trade with certain countries as the same infrastructure boost happening to south.Nah, the funding is not there, you did not give any links about additional road funding so this means that you lied like always and now trying to change the topic to air travel & Arabs. Btw, you seem to have Arab, Russia, Germany, Europe & Turkey fetish
Its not some fetish its clear Aviation data not some charity.
As i said just observe.

The Philippine government is just doing what it must when it comes to their relationship with the U.S. that's both historical and long lasting from their days as a quasi-colony of the U.S.
To suggest that somehow the Philippines can materially assist America any meaningful way in a supposed potential conflict with China for Taiwan is just ridiculous. Philippines is the weakest militarily amongst the ASEAN member countries and that's saying something.
What the Philippines is being asked/pushed to do is to allow for basing of strategic arms supplied by the American military but doing so would simply open up a can of unintended worms for the Philippines general safety since China would target that country in the event of any armed conflict with America.
Importantly, what's the connection of the Philippines to Taiwan other than the island is pretty close to the Babuyan Islands that's situated in the most northern part of the Philippines. Trade wise, China dwarfs the trade Taiwanese has with the Philippines and in terms of infrastructure projects and development China has assisted the Philippines tremendously thereby improving the economic prosperity and efficiency of the country.
I say, BRING IT ON. Next!!
