Trump also has no idea where America's strength comes from which isn't bloody MAGA. It has always been the international order, it's network of military, values and economic alliances which China has no equivalent or path to. China pays off some country to make a supporting statement who do the absolute minimum. Trump has done everything he could to destroy this with no plan to what to do after like everything else.

Trump's Anti-China thing is mixed at best, the first thing he did was tank TPP(It has issues) which was there to economically isolate China. I give him some credit for moving on China overtly but that is as far as I would go given he hosed everything else up with plenty of actions supporting China or snatching defeat from victory even with the easiest of choices. 100% he would take Chinese money if offered. If any credit is due it would be the Cabinet doing their jobs to bypass Trump and dialling down his stupid aka, "The Resistance", as well as House/Senate.

quote:

Communications

Terahertz radiation is difficult to transmit through cables, but can be transmitted through air. Diffraction is weaker than in the microwave region, so that collimated beams without excessive beam diameters can be formed. At various frequencies, however, molecules of air (including water vapor) strongly absorb terahertz waves. Fast data transmission is still possible at least over short distances like a couple of meters. Note that the available bandwidth and thus the potential data capacity is much larger than for microwave systems such as traditional WLAN. On the other hand, the cost of terahertz sources and detectors is still far higher than for microwave equipment.

Although direct terahertz transmission through cables or fibers is extremely limited by the high losses, one can transmit optical signals through optical fibers which carry terahertz signals in the form of optical frequency differences. Some kind of photomixer can thereafter be used to generate the terahertz radiation, e.g. for radiation via an antenna.

also here's a stupid take
---------------------------->
The harder turn in US policy towards China began in 2014-15 under the Obama administration and in terms of actual material policy against the CCP, the Trump administration was underwhelming, with most of the policies that hit the PRC hardest being either continuations of Obama-era DoD policy like the FONOP's in the South China Sea/pivot to Aisa or acts of Congress

Like the rest of his presidency, Trump was trying to use smoke and mirrors to obscure the fact that he had either nothing or total bullshit. If there are any clear-thinking individuals in the CCP wrt US Foreign policy right now, they should not be celebrating, because the bipartisan turn against the PRC is 110% real and Trump was actually among the larger barriers to realizing it in policy.

i've always felt bad for aznidentity and hapas type posters. even though you get a lot of mixed-asians out of hawaii, nobody feels the way that mixed-race asians who were raised in the continental united states do. it's a consequence of their broader societal upbringing, where they're constantly bombarded with propaganda about their inferiorities and weaknesses, and they're told "oh it's okay it's a POSITIVE stereotype!"

no, it's not. it's never okay, even if it "sounds nice" to someone looking in from the outside. the person who hears it, and bears it, can develop a serious and deep-seated complex over it, and that's why you see all kinds of crazy self-professed hapas. all they ever wanted to be called was human, like anyone else. but they got into their 20s and 30s and were still just treated like a punchline

Let's not let ourselves forget Trump's complete 180 on ZTE after the CCP agreed to give him a sweet hotel deal in Indonesia. ZTE was up to the same poo poo that Huawei's being accused of now and the US had them by the balls with a massive fine and sanctions. They were pretty much ready to close their doors until Trump came out with this mysterious tweet:

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/995680316458262533

Because, you know, if there's one thing Trump cares about it's protecting Chinese jobs, right?

The guy was never anti-CCP out of principle, just anti-CCP as a short term strategy. He'd go full Xi Jinping thought in a second if he thought it would line his pockets or improve his chances of reelection.

He has been dragging his feet the entire time with Huawei assuming he gave a poo poo which is never or was waiting on another payout. I will have to look it up but didn't he support Meng's release? ZTE was on the ropes, pretty close to collapse. Had the US used the same tools on Huawei it would be over already. I wouldn't be surprised if he was sandbagging the process.

"Lets not forget" is a very, very long list for Trump.

Whilst all that is being said re: Trump being anti-China may well be true. I think the answer is a lot simpler.

China is an easy target for Trumps audience. It's foreign, non-white, and nominally "communist". So just point a giant racist finger at it and say "All your problems are because of the commo chinks. I am angry at them and doing bigly tough things against them" and he gets cheered.

It's no more than that. Yes, the CCP is poopy and all that. But to Trump's lizard brain, it is as simple as hang poo poo on the foreigner/communist.

Sure Trump is a reprehensible buffoon, but it's going to be hard to overnight erase the feelings built up over a track record that long. Biden has been relatively pro-China and anti-Taiwan since the 70's and his stance only changed a few months ago when the election showed how well being anti-China played. Trump is incompetent but he's still the first president I can think of that was willing to push an aggressively anti-China stance. It's not hard to see why anti-CCP Taiwanese establishments would prefer one to the other.

yeah terahertz is garbage for longer range mobile communication right now and probably forever

straight from the ieee
https://spectrum.ieee.org/aerospace/military/the-truth-about-terahertz

quote:

Try to send anything farther than that and you hit what I call the “terahertz wall”: No matter how much you boost the signal, essentially nothing gets through. A 1-watt signal with a frequency of 1 THz, for instance, will dwindle to nothing after traveling just 1 km. Well, not quite nothing: It retains about 10-30 percent of its original strength. So even if you were to increase the signal’s power to the ridiculously high level of, say, a petawatt, and then somehow manage to propagate it without ionizing the atmosphere in the process, it would be reduced to mere femtowatts by the time it reached its destination. Needless to say, there are no terahertz sources capable of producing anything approaching a petawatt; the closest is a free-electron laser, which has an output in the low tens of megawatts and isn’t exactly a field-deployable device. (For comparison, the output power of today’s compact sources spans the 1-microwatt to 1-W range—more on that later.) And that’s under ordinary atmospheric conditions. Rain and fog will deteriorate the signal even more. Attenuation that extreme all but rules out using the terahertz region for long-range ground-based communication and radar.

this is from 2012, but i'd be curious to see how much terahertz communications have changed in the past 8 years especially if they got around the physics problem of having to use 'antenna so powerful that's ionizing the surrounding atmosphere'

Well there's a few things. The 6G working group such that it is is working on a new very high frequency band, the exact frequency of it not yet determined but at this point it's 80% likely that it's going to be 180 GHz (officially it could be anything between 95GHz and 3 THz). This is being called the sub-THz band, but once it runs through the Chinese PR machine it becomes shortened to "Terahertz". This is actually a pretty popular band for materials science research (closed chamber type stuff) so lots of electronics already exist to work in that specific band making research cheaper which is why it is being chosen. Lots of people have been working on this for a long time so there is no actual first here except that it's the first "6G" rather everyone else is calling their work, research in the sub-THz region because it's to early for the 6G committee to be able to formally ratify a dedicated band. There are a lot of universities and a few companies already doing proof of concept devices and you can buy an off the shelf THz sources (for a couple hundred thousand dollars) from a company like Keysight (American) or Rhode & Schwartz (German). The US does not allow export of high quality RF sources above 110GHz to China because of ITAR.

The sub-THz band isn't really for terrestrial long haul. It's raison d'ętre is to make very small arrays with lots of elements. This lets you put 1000+ element arrays on satellites where you don't have much space for satellite to satellite communications and on the ground it lets you build antenna arrays directly on integrated circuits for close range communications and radar in very tight packages. This is one thing that they got right, the Chinese system is on a satellite with the purpose of letting people lease time on it.

Hong Kong has plunged further into crisis as a new law imposed by Beijing allowing the disqualification of “unpatriotic” opposition members prompted the entire pro-democracy caucus to announce their resignation.

Four sitting legislators were disqualified with immediate effect, with the move heralded as the end of political opposition in the city and “the death-knell of Hong Kong’s democracy fight”.

The measure, passed by China’s highest legislative body on Wednesday, bars anyone from Hong Kong’s legislative council who supports independence, refuses to recognise Beijing’s sovereignty over Hong Kong, seeks help from “foreign countries or foreign forces to interfere in the affairs of the region” or commits “other acts that endanger national security”.
