At minimum, they'll start doing dangerous intercepts with blockade runners, which PLAN already does with USN in SCS. Around TW, it will be 1,000s of militia ships to make the navigation exceptionally dangerous. They're going to da

Basically, except for media controls for winter where gloves+swipe don't work. I ended up using a bluetooth media remote for cars. But a simple fitness band with a few buttons and a silence slider would be great.

Of course it's about money. People take chance if reward offsets. And it's easy money if business aligns with state interests, with Ma being properly fucked over after being warned many times when his ponzi lending proposal scheme

How many countries coast guard are "military" like USG with global deployments abroad? Seems like they just share the same issue as USNavy of being over deployed while undermanned.

It's simply zero covid working better than the best vaccines which will still lead to millions of deaths at PRC scale and with PRC's relatively lower per capita medical infra. Economically it sucks, but despite disruptions PRC exp
