Raskolnikov38 posted:there was a brief window where having battleship guns on something fast made sense but then the fast battleship was invented Literally a case of queuing up a bunch of units the moment you unlock them when you could just wait a couple techs more and get a superior alternative. Much like in real life it makes sense if you're in the middle of an arms race for immediate map dominance, waste of build time otherwise

GlassEye-Boy posted:Also, remember that video of the gang beating up the a group of women at a restaurant was making the rounds on western media causing the a latest round of outraged hand wringing? I doubt there will be any followup. How good is China generally at prosecuting corrupt police officers compared to the west?

PoontifexMacksimus posted:How good is China generally at prosecuting corrupt police officers compared to the west? so imagine like the Consent Decrees we get in America. the police only get oversight when they gently caress up so badly the central government has to come in. in America this isn’t often enough by design, with our millions of police fiefdoms. in China it’s simply that they don’t have the resources to watch all the police except there aren’t consent decrees. there’s no consent. the bad cops get punished

https://www.theage.com.au/politics/...829-p5bdkc.html Very funny that China being the Great Enemy and not having domestic manufacturing are both fine Frosted flake, please save our industry quote:Buying more equipment directly from overseas “could facilitate an increase in military spending now by demonstrating to taxpayers the enduring importance placed by Defence on avoiding waste”, he argues. We have to buy more stuff overseas to save money so we can get taxpayers to agree to spend more

Australian race/immigration policy for most of its existence has been based on fear that swarms of asian migrants will take over and conduct a white genocide like what white people did to Aborigines, the White Australia Policy existed till the 1970s. You see the same fear in the 19th century USA with Chinese Exclusion Act stuff but Australia supercharged it by being geographically closer to Asia, smaller, weaker and having closer ties to the UK and thus more obsession with anglo purity and homogeneity.

KirbyKhan posted:Jackie Chan is up there with Guan Yu as far as shopkeep statues go. shockwave 2 had an interesting spin on the genre in that the main character is a hero cop who turns against the police for a fundamentally justifiable but ultimately incredibly petty reason the result bring that the police arent portrayed as especially sympathetic on either the individual or the institutional level

Much like Tesla and electric cars, nobody anywhere else will ever be able to make microchips, in perpetuity. They are a resource like gold or oil, permanently affixed to their geography.

Think of the Intel foundry a medieval guild which got the semiconductor license from the king (US/Feds/deep state), The east Asian fabs are unlicensed fabs they have to break up and slow down the global production. And the king already did it once against Toshiba.
