China's dual circulation policy aims to reduce debt reliance - Chemicals and the Economy
Every now and then, people wake up to the fact that debt is only good news when it adds to growth. Otherwise, it simply destroys value. China is usually the case study for this analysis, as the chart confirms. It shows the rise in debt from 2002, when official data begins, versus the rise in […]

The Chinese Army has released footage of training exercises by a group of snipers from the 92nd Brigade of the 73rd Army of the Chinese Eastern Command. During the exercises, snipers used QBU-10 rifles. The Chinese QBU-10 sniper rifle, 12.7 mm caliber, was put into service in 2011. The rifle can be easily disassembled into its main components and can be carried in a backpack. According to Chinese sources, the firing accuracy of the QBU-10 rifle is about 2-3 arc minutes; the declared effective firing range against manpower is up to 1000 meters. Rifle length 1380 mm, rifle barrel 780 mm, weight without cartridges 13.3 kg. The rifle magazine capacity is 5 rounds.
A friend of mine in China suspects that the government will eventually levy taxes on him and younger generations to make not having children more expensive than having them.
Also, while it didn't work out too well in the long term for the Soviets, the Chinese actually made out well. They got a well-diversified manufacturing economy and stepping stones to high end fabrication. They definitely got the better deal compared to the USSR. Then again calling modern day China as "socialist" feels weird when most of their growth comes from fervent capitalists.
Tejas mk2 will have the F414-GE-INS6. It is 98kN, but maybe someday India can MLU with a higher thrust indigenous engine
I don't think it's possible to do that though. You need very high wages to pull that off.
There are many other ways, especially targeted towards women. For example, banning abortions or making it really hard to get one. That's the first thing they will hit. It's already started.
Second would be to encourage women to leave the full-time workforce and help create new part-time careers.
Free education until grad and free healthcare are necessary minimums.
The Soviets were dumb, nothing else there to say about it. It's a product of communism. Russia was also came pretty close to collapse.
China's main industries are controlled by the state. And they have significant indirect control over their real estate companies.
This century will really test the "demographics are destiny" statement.
Being authoritarian the CCP theoretically has any option, regardless of how inhumane, available to it.
Gender inequality in China is already amongst some of the highest in the world, labor force participation of women in China is going down year over year. Will be curious to see how they tackle this.
Ultimately, I think any recovery plan will be stymied by their gender gap. They can't conjure up enough women for their men.
There is a universe where the soviets successfully liberalized their economy and their various state-owned enterprises successfully competed with western firms. Would make for an interesting novel.
I was always given the impression that even though there was state control, the mega-corps themselves were managed by ruthless capitalists... since failure would mean you and your family get disappeared.
as soon as the rest of the world has moved on to 6th gen, then we might see mass induction of mk2
Gender equality is bad for population growth, you need inequality. So you gotta kick women out of the workforce so they can marry early. Else they turn into spinsters.
So remove women from the workforce, that increases the wages of men, women's financial standards lower and it becomes more affordable to have children 'cause of the higher wages. The overall consumption will decrease, but at least your country has a future.
Combine that with free education and healthcare, then all you have to do is buy your kids food, clothes and shelter.
A Western commie's wet dream in fact.
If it's state-owned, it can't be run like the capitalists run things, decision-making is friggin' slow in govts. But what's really the main killer is the lack of competition. So SoEs just become bloatware and the govt has to start subsidizing and bailing them out.
, our guy is a perverted society manipulating maniac, he should be castrated so he has no other purpose other than joining the military to fight. ppl live for themselves not for the state, society or religion, taking away their freedom will only create a repressive system.There should be a mix of private & public companies, just allowing private companies to run riot will end up in monopolies or cabal.

Women have been forced into the labor market. They don't like it. But they understand that only after they turn 30. In my family, all women become excited about working during college, then they are sent to work, good jobs, then they realize it's all BS, so they quit and get married instead.
If both men and women are told exactly how their biology works and how things change for them outside the family home, pretty much all women will choose to get married and have kids early. But they are all lied to, so they learn they fcked up much later in life.
Basically, men need early careers and late marriages. Women need early marriages and late careers. It's basic biology.
Women look their prettiest and are most fertile when they are 18-24. Men look their best at 30-45.
Basically, women who marry established men early have the best potential marriages, best kids, best family life etc. The ones who pick career do not get the best men and they resent the men they are forced to pick.
And men who marry early pretty much always end up on the road to divorce 'cause they can't afford living costs, raising kids etc. So they need careers to get established first.
In my family, if it's arranged, all men of any age marry only women who are below 25, even if they are close to 40 themselves.
Women are more suitable for the workplace when they are in their 40s. They can pick careers after they have kids in their late teens and early 20s. Then they can work 20-30 years if they want. Once again, in my family, after their kid-raising years, they tend to help their husbands and fathers in work or business. Or they just chill with grandkids and such. Most of the women in my family become grandmas in their late 40s or early 50s.
So, for the Chinese, it's simple enough to give their women what they want if they educate their women into making good decisions for themselves.
Otoh, forcing women to work is a leftist, commie move designed to break families, turn women into degenerates and men into broken shells so they are all easily controlled. They failed to anticipate that a falling birth rate is a consequence of that.
And the Chinese, just like the Americans, have not only successfully broken small families, but their one-child policy has also restricted those interested in having more kids. It's like a double or triple whammy. India shouldn't fall into this trap. We need to educate our girls into choosing marriage and kids first.
This system won't run well. SoEs are necessary only if they are required to run at a loss when necessary. Like oil SOEs that subsidize consumer prices. A private company will always choose to transfer higher costs to the public.
If it isn't for that, then it needs to be privatized. Citizens will absorb higher costs as long as it's affordable. As of today, food, energy and communications (BSNL) in India need to be subsidized.
Its your opinion. Some ppl work for money due to circumstances others for career. It is certainly true that due to shortage of labor during world war women took up factory jobs to increase production.
Now we dont need a job we need money to live and thats why most ppl work.
My disagreement is not on the statistics or demography or societal living but freedom every individual should have without getting coerced directly or indirectly into taking decision or living in a way that has no benefit to the individual.
BSNL still provides services where private sector refuses. so its does always hold good that private sector is always better. Just take a look at health & education sector in US where there is unequal lop sided development where one section of society can all have the access while other section is completely denied due to cost.
It's not my opinion, it's a biological fact. You can always choose to go against biological fact in the name of freedom, but that's a different discussion.
And it doesn't matter. The Chinese will take this freedom away 'cause it makes the most sense. And they will do it in a way that women will freely choose getting married, if that's what they want.
In the US, family law ensures mothers are encouraged to divorce their husbands and have children with mutiple men for example. This allows them to get more child support from multiple fathers. So, in China, they will make laws where married couples with kids will get tax breaks and subsidies whereas single people will have to pay more taxes. Single women can also get "lawfully" discriminated against in jobs for example. Another way is to subsidize housing for families with zero interest, zero downpayment schemes, while single people will have to pay higher interest rates and downpayments for their houses. Bachelor taxes will become common.
Yes, 'cause there's no profit in it. Whenever you need a non-profit making service, you need SoEs, like BSNL.
As for the US, leftist agenda has taken over a lot of things. The left is aiming to turn the US into a socialist commie utopia. That's where their problems come from.
One of the biigest reason for decay of morality and families and values associated with a family, is the women joining workforce. It started with WW2 as most men were needed to fight while women took over jobs in factories. It was due to a crunch of men. But after the war, US deep state destroyed the families to create an alternative value system which has resulted in over 25% of the people born in USA after 2000, identifying themselves with LGBTQ+ and woke.
The Sanatan system of Kul, Jaati and Varna, will be soon accepted as correct model for a society and will get adopted all across weatern world. We are already watching that single children who moved away from families are now returning back to live with their parents as the job cuts bring down the disposable income and housing costs go thru the roof with world financial reset due to dedollarisation.

They need to save the US first, or that disease will spread to India. I've already seen my friends getting divorced 'cause of feminism. It's spreading in small towns too. My 20-year-old cousin was going on to her mother about how she was brought to "this" house to be her husband's "servant," and that she doesn't want to be one too.
Educating young schoolgirls about the implications of their choices is the best way to do it. But it's a touchy subject. Especially when some elements in the govt are deliberately doing it 'cause that's the first step to introducing communism.
Next step is to make investment in housing impossible for young adults. The US has some leeway, with 100% financing and 0% interest for your first house. But we don't have anything similar in India. And when you rent, you go to cheaper areas and towns, and that directly impacts your credit. And you become a potential victim of crime. Once that happens, the family unit breaks.
Reservation/affirmative action is another big scam. It's designed to keep beneficiaries permanently poor in order to garner sympathy votes. I explain a bit about that here.
Eurofighter Typhoon - Updates and Discussions
It is. Apart from NGAD and perhaps the F-35 a bit later on. Tempest/GCAP isn't being developed as a family of systems, never mind the Typhoon. The US isn't serious about the F-15, so that's not gonna get it either. The Kaan is, Australia has a system being developed. GCAP...

So, once you break the family unit and prevent the young from making a decent wage, you make people dependent on the govt. In the meantime, they indoctrinate kids with leftist ideologies, which are built upon failure, and your society collapses. Out of the ashes comes communism. Simple playbook.
All these young people identifying as LGBTQ+, even if they are not, is solely to garner sympathy clout, which creates little cesspools of group hatred that communism likes when dealing with a powerful majority. Once communism comes up, that same group they used (LGBTQ, Blacks, Muslims etc) will be crushed in work camps and concentration camps and then enslave the weakened majority.
Feminism is a new phenomenon for west but in sanatan it has existed for tens of thousands of years. I worship Mata Shakti and it is clearly given in our holy texts that a woman is more powerful than a man. Thats why Mata Shakti is invoked even by all Devs together to help them out when the situation goes out of their control.
Even in Hindu marriage ceremony, The woman asks for promises from her husband which the husband has to give otherwise the marriage can't be solemnised and out of seven Pheras, the woman walks ahead of the husband for five of them and she in turn gives two promises to the man and for them she walks behind him. A woman lets a man take the lead and not that men are supposed to lead.
Even in a Yagya, the wife sits to the right side of the husband as an Independent Identity of her and its only at the final Yagya Ahooti, she returns to the left side of her husband.
So, Does this means enslaving a woman? Or is it distribution of responsibilities in a society?

Feminism doesn't see it that way. It's "7 responsibilities for you, 0 for me." That's the message being sent across everywhere.
For example, modern feminism believes a husband should cook his own meals, clean his own dishes and do his own laundry, even if the wife just sits at home all day. And if she works, then the husband should do everything, including for her, even if he works. This is one of the principle reasons why marriage is dying in the US, a bigger reason being family law which is extremely divorce-friendly. It's getting to the point where men are now actively avoiding interacting with women, even in the workplace. Morgan Stanley released a report a few years ago where they said at least 50% of American women will be single by 2030.
And this has started coming into the mainstream in India too.
I do fully agree with you but the revival of sanatan and the rise of the ancient has started. Our own Gods are coming back and have satarted manifesting themselves. I can't share why I am saying this as I might be called an idiot who once flew fighters. But this is the truth. My Grandfather was a very qualified astrologer and he had predicted it in 1993 when I had met him during my medical leave after my second ejection from Sea Harrier. I know who Modi is and what he is out to do and how Yogi will take care of Malecchaas in India. Modi is the person who will set the foundation for return of Dharma, Yogi will reestablish it. Prepare for bloodbath in 2030-32. Its all predicted long way back.
Okay, but I don't think this will affect 13 and 15-year-olds though. I don't believe revivalism of Hinduism can stop the bad effects of feminism when kids are being indoctrinated even before they get to understand religion. It's more like they will realize they made a mistake, but they will be 30-year-old spinsters by then.
