China's prosperity are built on:

1️⃣Industrial foundation during Mao era, with Soviet help, which was the biggest organized industry transfer in history.

2️⃣Reform & opening up, building up the biggest foreign-exchange reserve.

Why India doesn't have any of these 2.
1/10🧵 Image
The "experts" that claims India will match China are simply delusional, and do not fundamentally understand what made China successful.

The steep wealth increase in China was the INDIRECT result of the 2 things mentioned above.
The most direct increase in wealth among Chinese families are actually the property value.

Housing in its essence is just a wooden or concrete box, its real value exists in the location and services near it (schools, healthcare, transport and job opportunities). Image
These property wealth were all backed by China's massive industries, exports and foreign echange reserves.

Without any one of which, none of the intangible wealth exists.

And China is so good at export, was because of the industrial foundation and social reforms of the Mao era.
Imagine the economy of each country as a bicycle, the legs peddling it are outside forces (exports) to make the bike go.

How efficiently the bike can go depends on the power of the legs, AS WELL AS the bike itself.

Is the chain lubricated, are the ball bearings of good quality. Image
Chains and ball bearings are the industrial foundation and work force of a country.

India of today is an inefficient bike, with rusting chains and broken spokes.

The tiny legs powering the bike are a handful of US companies that cannot provide enough output to...
...generate the rapid wealth creation of China in the early 2000s.

India's poor infrastructure, inefficient governance, poor social conditions for 50% of Indians (women), all exacerbate the inefficiency problem.
To predict the future, simply look at the trends.

India under Modi is regressing into a theocratic state, where religious fanaticism presides above all. Image
India's manufacturing as a percentage of its GDP have gone down under Modi.

Using the bike analogy, India have tiny weak legs powering a rusting bike.

Weak manufacturing means few exports, which causes weak domestic supply chain. Image
So even if Modi and his crony capitalist fraudsters like Adani wants to inflate the properties bubble a bit to rapidly increase the wealth of Indians (while making hundreds of billions themselves).

They cant, because the Indian economy has very few industry of tangible values. Image

When people see the robot installation by country.

They think it'll be easy for the US to reindustrialize, or for underdeveloped countries like India to industrialize and catchup

Here are the reasons why, it's very difficult for both type of nations:
1/7🧵 Image
1️⃣High-end Industrial robots are very hard to manufacture.

Only China, Germany, Japan has the entire high-end industrial robot supply chain.

Here's China's Chietom, a handful of companies in the world that makes high-end RV reducers. Which makes up ~36% of the cost of a robot.
2️⃣Not a single aspect of manufacturing exists in a vacuum.

Even after your company have bought the robots for manufacturing, your company would only be occupying a small part of the overall supply chain.

You can't browse YouTube without encountering western wet dream fantasies of pitting China against Russia.

From the West's perspective, China has an inherit grudge against Russia for lost lands in the North East.

Overview of the complex relations between China and Russia
1/11🧵 Image
There is indeed some resentment in China over the territories ceased.

But any attempt at weakening Russia to get the land back will be the biggest geopolitical mistake China makes. Image
China's land borders are extremely defensible.

There are only 2 viable routes (on land) to attack China's economic, industrial and population core(red).

In the north, through Manchuria via Beijing then Central plains and South through Vietnam (blue). Image

Recently illegal Chinese migrants to the US have been labelled as "CCP spies".

As a Chinese citizen, it's actually not that hard to get a tourist visa to the US and overstay their visa.

Why did they trek have to across Darien gap and Central American? Who are they really?
1/8🧵 Image
The pictures are screenshots of a fight that broke out in LA, while illegal Chinese migrants are lining up for free food.

The son of the old lady in purple tries to get some food as her son battles it out with another guy right behind her. Image
They had the energy to fight, but they couldn't be bothered to earn an honest living in China.

That's because most of these people believes that the US is a land of milk and honey, where people with a minimum wage can buy a house and support an entire family. Image

3 UAV (types) represents the future of Chinese drone development:

Which is to create a reconnaissance, sensor and strike network, made of high altitude, fast flying and stealthy unmanned platforms.

🔴Stealthy flying wing UCAV
🔵Divine Eagle AWACS drone
🟢WZ-7 recon drone
1/7🧵 Image
The most revolutionary platform is the Divine Eagle AWACS drone circled in blue.

The twin fuselage design allow the already massive drone to house large conformal radars and EW suite.

Wars fought between peer competitors will have the air spaces filled with stealthy platforms Image
Which makes manned AWACS platforms a highly sought-after, thus vulnerable target.

Since AWACS can't be made stealthy, turning them into unmanned platforms is the best option.

UAVs can be replaced, high ranking air force officers and technicians cannot. Image

The Guan Zhong memorial hall in Zibo.

Under his Chancellorship, with the ideals of Legalism, the State of Qi achieved a form of state capitalism in the year 645 BC.

Understanding China's evolving ideology through a 6th century BC example.🧵
1/11 Image
The State of Qi is located on the Shandong peninsula, relatively poor on arable land, but rich with coastal resources in fishery and salt, mercantilism became dominant.

Guan Zhong reforms was possibly the world's first recorded policy relating to foreign direct investment. Image
With state subsidies, the State of Qi attracted many investments from other states. Which then boosted commerce, immigration and tax revenue.

Guan Zhong helped to create a higher value added economy compared to the agrarian economies of other states.

The bizarre Taylor Swift themed China hit-piece, is much more sinister.

It's actually part of a larger concerted effort by the Neoliberal elites to create worldwide gender based animosity.

The ultimate target is China, but South Korea was their successful sacrificial lamb
1/7🧵 Image
Some may ask why would these people do this?
Wouldn't it ruin their own society?

To study Galaxies, you must look at a neighboring galaxy, because we can't move back far enough to see our own.

Similarly, to understand Neoliberal elites you must look at the Indian Caste system
To higher Caste Indians, lower caste Indians' livelihood do not matter, they exist as chattel expendable resources that are just shaped like a human being.

To the neoliberal elites, most ordinary citizens are of similar status, at best they'll treat you like a walking ballot.
