20 million dollar millionaires means that more than 1% of Indians have 1m USD, which is certainly not the case - the number of Indians actually paying income tax alone is just around that number. India actually has about 320k USD millionair

I mean, it's not so easy getting a perfectly knowledgeable English speaker in China. Heck, if you see some of the interviews of the insanely viral Tony from LC Signs, his English outside of his skits is actually very Chinese-flavored.

I've seen documents that were applications by CCP-affiliated provincial government bodies, things like detailed studies for loan applications to international banks, etc. and trust me, the Deepseek documentation is miles ahead of that.

The US overpays for a lot of its defence equipment. Given that recently a $125 million French aircraft was downed by a $50 million Chinese aircraft at least 3 times, it remains to be seen how cost effective the US military arsenal actually
