There was a time, when for 3-4 flights over a couple of years, I would always meet someone I knew, so much so that my pre-teen son (in those days) mentioned it. Does not happen any more though, my streak just ran out :) But I think if I use

Don't don't just don't. I was just talking to my son about this. They started with a very superior storytelling and by the end it was only mythology, maybe some story but zero "telling". S2 is still comprehensible b

I do not see a problem in building in China if you are going to sell in China. Just build enough to take care of China demand, give or take a few percent, so even if China goes to war, or kicks you out, or whatever ... the rest of the world
