China is sorting out their supply chain

[Methusala]

Our understanding of the 2 European conflicts underway is skewed by the outrageously slanted reporting of our  established mass media. There are many alternative sources reachable through the internet. 

Searching *judge Napolitana, George Galloway, Nima, Paul Craig Roberts* and others brings one into touch with well researched and objective accounts furnished by well connected and independent analysts.

The truth is there for them that wish to know.

Not sure what this has to do with Chinese aviation. But there is a simple truth about Ukraine, no matter what news source you look at- ruzzia invaded Ukraine. If they just go home, the war can stop. That's the truth.

If Russia abandons Ukraine the ethnic cleansing of Russian speakers will resume. Sorry, this thread is about  Chinese supply/exports and my bad for thread drift. I'll desist respectfully from unrelated topics. Don

Ukraine & Russia have intertwined histories. Most of the population are bilingual. Their traditions ,secular & religious are very similar.

I strongly doubt that any such "cleansing" has taken place, if for no other reason that it would be impractical to sort the Russian from the Ukraine speakers.

On the other hand I think it highly likly that the peoples of the Russian occupied regions, are being brainwashed into good little Russians.

Your comments sound very much like Putin propaganda rational for invading  - to save the Ukrainians from the Nazi government , etc😈

[Methusala]

IMHO I'm not brainwashed. For an example of brainwashed (ie. Brain-dead) refer to Rutte calling DJT "daddy"! Hahaha.

China produces new military coaxial helicopter prototype - and surprise, surprise, it's almost identical to the newest Sikorsky S-97 Raider ....

Much.

 

But I did too in school. There's a great book that got me up to speed with logic in argument that I read years ago. It's called Straight and Crooked Thinking by RH Thouless. It was first published in the 1920s and I think has a fairly recent edition.  Read that, and let's continue this thread about CHINESE AVIATION.

Did the book tell you about the cunning level of misinformation that would be readily available in the 21st century? 😄

Chinese car maker BYD is sending a message to other hyper car makers and possibly the USA were they are not permitted to sell cars atm I believe.

I'd like to know what kind of tyres they're using, that can stay together safely at 472kmh!! Not Chinese ones, surely!!  🤯

 

I won't have Chinese tyres on the steers of my truck, and I know a lot of other truck drivers who think the same. I'll use Chinese tyres on the drive, but there's only two steer tyres and I want them to be the best I can buy! I blew a front tyre once, on an old ACCO tip truck I that owned back in the 1970's - when it blew, (on the LHF) it pulled me straight off the road, and there was nothing I could do to stop it!

 

And that truck was flat strap at 85kmh. My current truck does 119kmh ex-factory, so more speed today to go further off the road!

 

I hate to think what would happen if one of those EV tyres blew at 400kmh+, it would rip huge chunks out of the car. I've blown rear truck tyres, they usually take the entire steel mudguard off with them.

Electic motors are ideal for producing very high speeds. In the 1960s we raced insanely fast slot cars; Pylon RC Aircraft racing has been popular for many years. It's based on the Torque x rpm = horsepower relationship; spin the motor faster and exponential brake horselpower is generated. However there are two militations; one is heat and the other is the rule exponentially more power demanded = exponentially shorter battery.  1/4 mile Drag Racing is an application where we are starting to see some battery powered cars.

Porsche, a division of the badly failing VW Group is suffering very poor sales in China. I can understand Chinese choosing local cars after seeing what they put out from local manufacturers. If they can put a lander on the moon and an orbiting lab in space they can make reliable tyres. Perhaps they think like we do and have no time for us. Wouldn't blame them if they bother to read what Hastie, Buffin Joyce, Albanese or Wrong etc mouth off.
