Well they are already getting scammed on the non-safe stuff as it is. Double the price for half the car etc... This is the issue with investment and supply chains (for Pakistan) that few want to grapple with seriously. They think CPEC will automatically fix that....when it is a completely...

38 billion IP imported. 5 billion IP exported. It is 7 times less ratio for PRC One can see what the ratios were for Japan, Germany, Dutch, Taiwan etc in the past.....they needed to be at least 1:1 to have chance at really developing the highest end stuff they still were lacking. PRC is...

We will keep it together for now....there is lot of military stuff in here already..... If you want you can create a DSA dedicated thread etc...maybe in strategic programs....and later I will bring stuff over to there. Up to you.

Thank you friend, for your warm wishes.

Indeed, just look at south asia from space (city light wise), put in the political boundaries....and compare with China and then more industrial parts of world for reference. It gives one quick example regionally. Standardised non-govt involved references are important in the end to calibrate...

It's baked into the compactness. Less moment distance available on a delta of this size....so to get same responsiveness and control you need relatively larger control surfaces compared to conventional wing of this size.

The simpler point to make is iphone is representative in that index's concept. If a xiaomi/samsung/<other smartphone> is used instead... The chart simply scales for it. The issue is why is TR worker wage so low no matter the item he is working to buy....compared to the others.

@saqrkh @VCheng you see the problem here?

@Gessler thanks for starting the dedicated thread just now. I moved some of the earlier posts+replies from IND economy thread to here (that folks might find interesting to read). If folks find any more there to move, lmk. I have pinned this thread too.

@Stuka Dive ....you got title now ;) This mro guy has really interesting channel that might be right up your interests: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh57rwk3ySElDpzgCDLh9KA/videos I have posted a few of his vids earlier in thread already....

All boils down to how countries measure themselves internally. Qualitatively and quantitatively. North Korea can simply measure what it wants for example. The remote sensing countries can do (that require brainpower and organisation) tell quite a different picture....regarding the level of...

@ I looked up what Turkish labour productivity is at ILO: https://ilostat.ilo.org/topics/labour-productivity/ It actually is quite good (w.r.t world) at around 80k USD per worker in PPP (i.e to account for local price level)....this figure has its pros and cons in use (especially for import...
