So China survives on the grace of the Westerners? Why does this sound oddly familiar?
Roughly 10 years ago, there was a big stink in the American media about lead contaminated Jewelry from Claire's, lead contaminated toys, Formaldehyde floor boards from Lumber Liquidators, H2S-off gassing Katrina rebuilding drywall etc.
This was all heralded as "proof" of crap Chinese quality, or "China trying to kill us". etc.
The whole time I thought, "This is just passing the buck!" 90% of the blame should go to the American companies. You are telling me that executives of these big companies are so naive and stupid to think that products they buy a the lowest absolute cost does not have the highest risk of having cut corners somewhere?
Now we have an update on the eye drops situation and the terrible state of the factory in India
So likely there are some forged quality checks here (and in the above examples too), but even then, there needs to be an honest assessment of what you are doing Stateside to protect people.
At the risk of continuing this forum's pastime of dogpiling onto India:
This article was from 2014! So even then it is known that India does not have the best practices when it comes to drug manufacturing. However, I think you have to cut them some slack. They are a poor country, If they don't cut corners, the people get no drugs at all. They don't get the drugs, they will die anyway in some cases.
So the US government, knowing full well of this issue, has this as a solution:
Truly this is a sad state of affairs. These elected officials, supposedly serving your interests, do nothing but make the situation worse and then blame others. Absolutely no accountability. It is disgusting.

Macron won't actually do anything to resist the USA. For instance, he unilaterally banned Huawei when the Germans (and a big Italian company) are still using it. He could unban Huawei, but he won't.
France has supported the USA in literally every single dispute it's had with China, and it always will. I literally cannot think of a single time when France sided with China over the USA in one of their disputes in all of human history.
Let's say the USA demanded Airbus stop selling planes to China. Would Macron resist this USA demand? No, he'd publicly complain and pretend to spend a lot of time earnestly pondering the matter and finally, say half a year later, ban Airbus from selling planes to China.
Nevertheless I believe that China should privately and publicly accept Macron's proposal to help bring about peace in Ukraine - which is a good thing anyways. China can make public statements supporting peace. Xi can say he wants peace. He can tell Putin that too. In fact, Xi can even promise to relay messages from France supporting peace to Russia. He can preserve Macron's statement and read it aloud to Putin in one of their meetings. Xi can say something like this.

The Australian Intel Chief is now pounding about this lmao.
He has given 2 potential solutions.
1) US must pool resources with UK/AUS to defeat China in Tech.
2) Start mass hiring of Chinese and Russian scientists to stifle China.
CAI was immensely beneficial for euros, it is hardly a favour to China.
Ah the classic let's arrest Chinese ethnic scientists in your country to satisfy your racist itch and wonder why none of them want to stay there, You would think these morons learned anything from Qian Xuesen incident
The second will never happen because according to American "intelligence" agencies, any Chinese or Russian scientist is a security risk.
That said, China should offer more $$$ for its scientists to ensure they stay in China. I've never understood why brilliant Chinese scientists are paid less than middle level managers at Alibaba and social media celebrities.
