True, but then again Singapore only has about 4 million + 1 million (expats and foreign labour) to work with. Korea and Taiwan actually have far larger populations (and space for lot more kinds of industries and services), They cannot afford to be so govt-corporate model in this day and age...

It does the job... barak8 is really the key for defense of indian naval platforms. CIWS they are all fairly the same bang for buck (IMO), very last hail-mary resort stuff....I don't think a huge deal separates their performances.

So what's your politics like? This dude: Its....hard to explain.

@Yankeestani (1.0 fresh and new at PDF) I bet had this too lol

I bet you have my telegram sticker set as your fridge magnets lol:

Post need be edited and cleaned up @Jackdaws , it got repeated a few times.

BRI is different, CPEC especially so. Those are just loan-driven infra for peacetime commerce (and CPEC wont even be that tbh given Pakistan economy). One can do the basic math on what feasibly can be transported on these routes (basic numbers, esp where pipelines dont exist and you have to use...

Please continue debate here about Chinese war history (that went OT in original thread) @#comcom @Jackdaws @whatintarnation @xizhimen et al. The OP thread title can may be changed to "Chinese war history" etc if you could do the honours @Webslave

You are welcome to open up a thread later on it for that debate if you want. To receive a proper attitude you should first display it yourself. It's really not that hard.

Where did I call you anything? I have clearly stated my grievance is with the CCP specifically and succinctly. Please if you are not capable of understanding this difference, its waste of time to continue. Calling entire countries cowardly and weak or any disparaging term is banned on this...

Like I said, when you prove you are less of a waste of time, I will engage more then. Till then acting like a duck, gets called a duck. I could be wrong, I could be joking or some combination of both...who is to tell? But if you find that applicable to you seriously (this huge trend thats...

Thing is: A) how much tonnage do military ships make as % of total marine tonnage? B) how much value do warships make as % of total shipping sector? If we have these ratios, I think it will be apt to see military base is not 1:1 to larger commercial base.

Again it is really not my fault if you cannot comprehend the difference between a political party (which is fair game to criticize and attack especially regarding specific evil actions) and an entire country. If you call an entire country "cowardly" and "weak", what are we supposed to make of...

It just takes 50 cents to type "but no they dont have this base cuz i sez so". No higher thinking or argument needed. It is frankly a waste of time right now (IMO). Hopefully dozens more arrive once this one declares the water is warm enough....so they make it worth my while.

Please do not lie. It is still quoted there for all to see.

It's not my fault you cannot see the difference between labelling a political party and labelling an entire country (like you did). CCP are degenerate despicable trash. They are certainly not China...they just think they are. Big difference.

Welcome to totalitarian nightmare... CCP are degenerate trash. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/12/4/holduighurs-forced-to-eat-pork-as-hog-farming-in-xinjiang-expands It has been more than two years since Sayragul Sautbay was released from a re-education camp in China’s westernmost region...

Good to see you back @Philip the Arab , hope you drop by more when you can.

Lot of anonymous keyboard warriors don't even know the first thing about a perisher course for example. They don't understand that men, institutions and experience dictate a huge deal past the hardware numbers and glossy brochures.

Again this doesnt include the immense service trade that EU and US do with each other compared to China.
