China's J-20B has entered mass production. Although with Russian engines instead domestic Chinese engines. Those may be ready in a year or two.

lol these are a 1/3 of the price to manufacture than the f-22 and probably significantly cheaper to maintain

i'm amazed by this stuff.

someone in the government tells CBP to put a customs hold on some wigs on suspicion they are made of human hair (not actually illegal on its own) made with forced labor (that is) because these particular wigs came from a manufacturer in xinjiang. next they tip off you, an AP reporter, with a scoop about it, and then have CBP put out a press release. (btw a previous hold a few weeks ago on some hair turned out to be synthetic.) you then write a story that the hair "is suspected to be made out of human hair taken from people locked inside a chinese internment camp." and also, your source who tipped you off puts you in touch with a familiar name for context quotes: rushan abbas, a uighur-american "activist" who is connected up with the intelligence services and formerly worked as a translator-interrogator for al qaeda prisoners. ah, but don't mention that.

that's not all. axios here then reads the AP story and does some lazy googling / background research, and discovers an RFE/RL (i.e. U.S. government) story from a few weeks ago which claims human hair is being harvested from prisoners, citing "10 female former camp detainees" and a "pakistani trader who gave his name as amir" who heard about it from "his friend," followed by some speculation from a "human rights researcher" with the victims of communism foundation who's like "yeah that seems likely." also this researcher with victims of communism apparently got into serious legal hot water in taiwan after accusing ko wen-je, the progressive-liberal mayor of taipei, of organ harvesting... apparently his evidence for that was not so solid. so that's the "background," and also make sure to say "suspected" and "likely" here and there in front of claims about human hair harvesting, and put in the appropriate links back to RFE/RL in the story to cover your bases. and then send it to your editor who hits publish, and now lots of americans are frightened at the news that the chinese communist party is harvesting hair from people's skulls like the nazis.

and then the national security council says they're shocked by this dastardly new low for the communist party of china because axios reported it and they're credible, aren't they?

I wonder how China can get around the current US oil sanction?

Also interesting is how China is exporting the special economic zone model to Iran and Cambodia but nobody is talking about them. I don't know what they really do.

The funny thing is how it just seems to follow a pattern that's everywhere in academia and punditry. The secret of making a career isn't being right, it's being able to bullshit some reasoning why everyone else is wrong and only you have the secret. Claiming that people believe roughly what they say is a branding catastrophe, it means a person doesn't need a doctorate in something obscure to understand the subject. I assume that there are just too many people around with obscure doctorates about France that they can just laugh anyone who tries to explain modern French strategy through the Charlemagne era out of the room.

I'd imagine that for a decades-long deal they probably won't even try because the US can always just levy new ones to get around whatever they try anyway. Maybe they're trying to knock over the US sanctions regime by doing a flagrant violation that would majorly upset the world economy and dare the US to enforce it.

I imagine the solution is the the much-talked about digital yuan that would allow China to pay for oil directly without using the international banking system.

Also, Iran will probably continue to play India and China against each other for investment.
