Today I encountered some extreme racist views in America against Asians, it was so blatant and awful and above all ingrained that I decided to leave the country this year. I realized I could never change their views.

My question is though: Where is good place to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show with like minded people?
Yeah, I am basically retired now so I don’t need to worry about finding a job, it’s just about living outside the empire at this post. Everyone in the US is deluded about their country, they don’t see what their country does and won’t listen to truth. Of course, they hate the truth teller. I want to live somewhere where peoples world view is somewhat connected to reality. Maybe it’s just not possible.

Going to another anglo country probably isn’t going to solve my problem. My wife speaks Spanish so there is that. Maybe Argentina?
Argentine is quite white supremacist in it's views, otherwise dunno know much about it. Oh and high inflation, like triple digit percentage high.

Spanish is quite quick to learn though, been studying for half a year and it is easier than french.

Is there any particular reason why China develops vehicles specifically for export, in parallel to vehicle for service use? I understand that you might not want to sell your most capable vehicles to a foreign nation; for that purpose the US and the Russians often sell export version of what they use - models with less advanced armor, lacking the most advanced electronics, and so on. But the Chinese seems keen to provide vehicles that are substantially different purely for export, and this has always confused me. After all, one of the best selling point when it comes to military hardware is if the nation selling it feels confident enough to adopt it as part of its own service lineup.

There's likely a variety of reasons that has resulted in the current approach

First of all, being that current modern/in use/in production stuff is not to be sold to other countries except some exceptions (J-10CE to Pakistan).

Second, likely being that many export variants might be stuff that 'failed' in making it into the PLA, like they got rejected and then some small modifications and then it gets put to sale for export.

And also, it's not like everything is downgraded (well missiles are likely), like a lot of ground vehicles and their stuff on them might be better than domestic counterparts for the PLA, reason likely being too expensive to mass produce to the required numbers for the PLA.

The above is just what I can think of on top of my head, likely more? Others here on this forum likely knows more.

Question on definitive PLA designation of the ZBL08 or is it the ZBD09? Just doing some research for an article and I am looking for the reference.
Some internet sites keep using ZBD or ZBL09 designation and I would like to have the official website to cite, if anyone has it?
Thank you in advance!

Another question to the Mods (@Jeff-head, -U-P, Sampanviking, Deino, Siegecrossbow, Blitzo, LawLeadsToPeace, Vincent, HereToSeePics, Phead128, SAC).
When I start thread I have to have 25 posts, correct??

When I post images as a part of the post, and those images are in a another thread, can I link to those posts or can I repost them (of course giving credit to the original person that posted them)?

I am getting reading to post a thread inside the Army Section on PLA Army/Ground Force Engineer vehicles, but I want to make sure I am following procedures correctly.
