what is the state of China's semiconductor industry in 2023? are they able to produce semiconductors used in the military? what about civilian electronics? will the US trade embargo on semiconductors dramatically slow Chinese military development?

can someone please explain to me the context and origin of this stupid picture? I remember someone posted something similar on SDF but can't find it

Trolls , MagaBrains, CIA operatives are using "daily chinese life" and re describing it as something nefarious. The real context is students pay for their meals via biometric scan.

What is China food dependance on import? I remember I read somewhere that China is 90% self sufficient in food. Idk how reliable is the data

Almost fully self-sufficient in grain. Have to rely on imports for animal feeds (soybean and corn)

IIRC, China has a very good food security/stability profile, but still has

, especially soybeans, beef and oilseeds. More than 80% of the soybeans consumed in China are imported.

AFAIK there is a separate supply chain for Chinese military semiconductors. Relatively recently some of the makers of semiconductors to the military have done forays into the consumer market, but those consumer products are made at separate production facilities from what I understand. The military grade semiconductors are probably made by CETC at non publicly disclosed fabs. Not Chinese civilian foundries like Hua Hong or SMIC. At best Hua Hong and SMIC make chips which are sold to the civilian government side of things and government supercomputers.
The US embargo on semiconductors is highly unlikely to slow down Chinese military development as a result. But it will have a significant impact on the consumer electronics and civilian government side of things.

Read somewhere? Hmm did you read Peter Zeihan book?

How prevalent is hazing in the PLA/PAP? Are there any anecdotes from former servicemen?

I bumped into this channel. The master located in a Shaolin monastery branch in Germany. This master seemed very knowledgeable and wise; Master Shi Heng Yi. I strongly believe that a good soldier should have skill, strong physical and calm mind. Gong Fu martial art may only be useful when hand combat; but, the art will indirectly contributes to the 3 qualities mentioned earlier.
I wonder does China's army trained in Western way or our Chinese martial art included as well?
