the laws of physics are the same in every country. if the us can develop chips, so can china.

this doesn't mean that china has no economic issues at all. real estate, for example, must be properly managed without wiping out everyone's investments.

Because the goal of the public industry is to provide the public with that good/service. It often sells at cost or even at a deficit since it does not need to profit.

reminds me of how many western commentators disparage china's high speed rail system for running at a loss and supposedly wasting money. yes, of course it does. the trains are the point, not the pursuit of profit. the government pays for high speed rail because it's a needed service, and the costs of operating hsr is worth it in the long run and will even pay for itself.

i never did support russia's government. now i have even less reason to.

not so. they're pro-anything that impedes russia, which includes infighting. if the us had another civil war, many of us would certainly support it.

fortunately, the nypd lacks equipment such as tanks, missiles, and artillery. spending isn't everything; what they spend it on is everything.

say xi jinping's mental health begins to deteriorate because of his age. how would he be removed from office and replaced by a successor?

the great purge (www.history.com)

is this just atrocity propaganda, or was stalin actually a mass murderer? deleting someone from a photograph is not a good sign.
