Agreed. I can see that.

I am not questioning the engineering prowess here. My point is what about RR makes it a strategic asset? Can the planes it supplies engines to fly on engines supplied by GE or Pratt&Whitney? Toyota is a great company. I wouldn't call it a strategic asset of Japan. Strategic Asset by its very...

Did I use the word "competitiveness" ? I was referring to their product portfolio. What exactly does Rolls Royce Holdings manufacture that can't be replaced by another engineering firm in some other part of the world? A fuel efficienct engine? I am sure it is good, even great. What makes it a...

How do you know that I don't know that? Please don't make assumptions. And of course it means a lot. It specifically means it is not a 100% British owned firm.

Yes, that's hardly a strategic asset. What exactly do they make that's so cutting edge?

And as far as this Reaction Engines is concerned - a quick Google search shows that Boeing has invested in it. https://boeing.mediaroom.com/2018-04-11-Boeing-HorizonX-Invests-in-Reaction-Engines-a-UK-Hypersonic-Propulsion-Company

As I wrote earlier, yes BAE is a British strategic asset. Rolls Royce is owned by BMW.

Is it a British company or a British-Swedish company? Rolls Royce, Jaguar, Mini Cooper etc. probably also have their HQ in the UK and are made there. Of course, all these are quintessential British brands. But are they British strategic assets if they have foreign ownership in part or in...

Astra Zeneca is not even completely British. It's Swedish-British.

Rolls Royce is owned by BMW. BAE systems - sure, agreed.

And what in the UK is of strategic value anyway?

An oversimplification. The video is way off. Indian businesses are happier doing business with the Americans because the Americans don't BS. The British have little to offer. Yes, they have some iconic brands. But the cash rich Chinese will snap them up quicker than the Indians.

Taiwan worked with other democracies to help its diplomatic ally Paraguay get COVID-19 vaccines after China put pressure on the South American country to ditch Taipei in exchange for shots, and India stepped in to help, Taiwan's foreign minister said. Chinese-claimed Taiwan has formal ties with...

You can air them. You don't need to be scared.

"now deleted article" - that's the red flag right there.

Majority might be happy. That's fine. We are free to judge who we like - especially a brutal regime. Majority of Zimbabweans might have been happy with Mugabe or majority of Ugandans with Idi Amin or majority of Cambodians with Pol Pot. Doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't judge them.

Nope. We are not ALL happy with ours. And I am sure not ALL are happy with yours in your country. That's human nature.

That may be the prevalent line of thought in a communist nation. In democracies, we criticize not only foreign governments but also our own Govt. - which is why generally after a term or two a different Govt comes to power.
