China’s Arms Industry Giants https://chinapower.csis.org/arms-companies/ Possessing a highly developed defense industrial base is a prerequisite to becoming a leading military power. While China is already the world’s second largest arms producer, the ability of its arms industry to domestically develop certain advanced weapon systems is still growing. From 2010 to 2020, China exported nearly 16.6 billion TIV worth of conventional weapons across the globe. The lion’s share – around 77.3 percent – went to Asia. An additional 19.1 percent flowed into Africa, and the remaining 3.6 percent went to other parts of the world. https://chinapower.csis.org/china-global-arms-trade/ Lai, tell me which are the countries on this list currently at war. Which country spent $6.4 trillion fighting wars since 2001? Who is the best supporter of the arms industry? ↡ Advertisement 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On D-Day, the general in charge of defence, Erwin Rommel was away in Germany to celebrate his wife's birthday. Hitler was asleep, so his Panzer divisions couldn't be moved to respond to the unexpected landing zone. One can not be so naive to think that it is all about stats about weapon systems or military ability. Even mundane things like strategic stockpiles of rice, water and sand would be significant when it comes to a negotiation. Exactly...we were even taught in bmt to cover our dung after we crap...otherwise, enemy would know our diet...Maggie instant noodles, Lay's potatoe chips, Thumb up kacang...😷😁 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choose Singapore and choose survival la. China is our biggest trade partner and US been asking ASEAN to pick a side, we all said no. We are talking about ASEAN countries with territorial disputes with China in the South China Sea. They all chose to not take side. You want to choose US and end up like Australia? Crying their way to WTO? Farmers and wineyard suffering? Ya, Australia have backbone, they spoke up. Well done, more Chinese students will be coming to Singapore post-COVID, we can all thank Australia for that. Worst case scenario of a war between China and US, do you want to pick a side when the topic would be on the survival of humanity? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you our reason for not wanting to chose sides. many sg thought leaders and the gahmens position and asean countries already express that they dont want to chose sides. rationale already given. some bros also prefer not to. we want a multi lateral world, not a unilateral world led by an exclusive club of ex-colonialists. whats your reason? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
