Este no es el primer avion fabricado ahi, pero si es el primero para propositos comerciales y en recibir las certificaciones de las organizaciones aeronauticas de #Europa y #EEUU, hoy lideres en este sector.
De esta forma se inicia la historia de un nuevo participante en este estrecho mercado, que hoy lideran #Boing y #Airbus. Pero ¿por cuanto tiempo mas?
Antes de que estuviera terminado e hiciera su primer vuelo oficial ya habia recibido pedidos por mas de 200 unidades, lo que garantizaria su produccion... tomando en cuenta que es hasta 10 millones de Euros mas economico que los modelos similares de la competencia.
La inauguracion de este nuevo competidor no podia estar libre de criticas, comenzando porque la prensa internacional dedico gran parte de sus articulos a resaltar que al menos 40% de sus piezas serian suministradas por empresas extranjeras, asi que -segun ellos- no se podria afirmar de que este fuera un avion "made in China".... mmm pero olvidaron mencionar la pequeñez de que es una situacion similar tambien en la fabricacion de los aviones de la competencia. Y esto es lo mismo que con los autos, barcos y todo tipo de maquinaria de gran tamaño, donde finalmente los proveedores de partes nunca son de un solo origen o empresa unica.
Ademas, no se puede dejar de repetir que asi mismo se inicio la historia en todas las otras industrias, en donde los primeros modelos fueron resultado de la cooperacion de diferentes empresas... y esta no es la excepcion.
Lo que realmente importa es lo que va a pasar en este mercado en los proximos 10 años: Si este primer avion consigue volar en los proximos años sin presentar mayores y vitales defectos, los pedidos por nuevas unidades podrian dispararse y el mercado se volvera muy interesante (dinamico).
Solo en el caso del mercado domestico del gigante asiatico y sus vecinos serian mas que suficientes para proveer hasta el 50% del mercado global. Asia es la zona de mayor crecimiento y en el futuro cercano representara mas de la mitad de todo el mercado global.
Como noticia extra, esta semana se acaba de lanzar el primer gran barco de turismo fabricado en China, lo que tambien esta dando inicio a la entrada del pais en otro mercado muy lucrativo... pero esta es otra historia a ser comentada en otro momento.

Cuando se hacen bromas o se pregunta sobre ciudades donde es imposible ver el cielo, pocos NO apuntaran a #China, con ciudades gigantescas, llenas de vehiculos viejisimos, vomitando polvo y humo por sobre calles mal pavimentadas... con cielos cubiertos sin posibilidad siquiera de poder ver mas alla de los 50mts. de distancia.
Tampoco seran muchos los que hayan olvidado las imagenes de los dias en que se anunciaban cierres totales de ciudades por causa de la pandemia, y tuvimos oportunidad de ver animales salvajes en las ciudades o en el caso de las ciudades chinas, los vecinos por fin pudieron disfrutar de cielos despejados... imagenes que la TV nos repetia a diario.
Al parecer en occidente, esas imagenes pertenecen mas bien a la tradicional campaña de propaganga que ya nos ha acostumbrado el largo brazo mediatico de Los Esclavos Unidos, porque la realidad dista cada vez mas de esas imagenes que nos bombardean con mentiras descaradas o verdades a medias y muy distorsionadas...
Los siguientes graficos nos muestran parte de la radiografia que hoy tenemos a nivel global: La #India posee lamentablemente la mayoria de las ciudadaes mas contaminadas y los indices de polucion generalizada nos muestran que solo 1 ciudad china sobrepasa los indices peligrosos. Incluso #America Latina esta presente en esta desgraciada estadistica.
La intensificacion del uso de Energias Renovables, la renovacion rapida de la infraestructura en declive, el mejoramiento de las tecnologias, la recuperacion de zonas deserticas, la reforestacion, el aumento de la calidad de vida... estan haciendo de las ciudades del gigante asiatico, un lugar cada vez mas limpio.
Esto es el resultado de una politica consecunte con el objetivo de lograr mejorar las areas mas debiles, que unicamente puede conseguirse a traves de un apoyo economico sostenido en el tiempo. No es posible levantar programas de reforestacion sin recursos, tampoco se pueden mejorar los indices de calidad de vida sin invertir recursos en ello... es un todo.

Coal power plant construction and additional project announcements accelerated rapidly in China in 2022, with new permits reaching the highest level since 2015. The coal power capacity construction in China was six times as large as that in all of the rest of the world combined.

But, hey, it's just fine, because China has also recently announced the installation of two amazingly futuristic "carbon capture and storage" facilities!
Except, oh, wait...
________________________
Before you get all giddy about this new push by China to capture carbon dioxide, here are a few things you might want to keep in mind.
Whatever carbon dioxide is captured or stored by these two new projects, it won’t amount to a piss hole in the snow when compared to the massive amounts of new carbon dioxide — billions and billions of tons — those new coal-fired generating stations will add to the atmosphere each and every year for the next 50 years or so, which is the normal useful life of a coal-powered facility.

However, there's a catch: in Korea, the communist invasion army supported by USSR and People's Republic of China captured almost all territory of Korea! At the peak of communist invasion, only a small part of Korean peninsula was left under control of Republic of Korea, at the peak of ROK & Allies counteroffensive only a narrow strip at the North was controlled by the communists. In 1953 they were ultimately pushed back to 38th parallel but in the process Seoul changed hands five times, and the net territorial gain for North Korea was none. So the "Korean model" doesn't really sound well for the supporters of Russia, as it implies freezing the conflict at the 23 February 2022 border, which means nullifying all territorial gains except for Crimea and parts of Donbass.
A fun part which you can use to poke Russian vatniks today: in 1950 #USSR boycotted UN to protest its recognition of #Taiwan as #China. How come? Well, UN recognized it as Republic of China (ROC, 1912-1949) as opposed to People's Republic of China (PRC)...

While raising issues of concern, Under Secretary Shambaugh emphasized the importance of the two largest economies closely communicating on global macroeconomic and financial issues and working together on global challenges.”
But.. with a business delegation?
Where does #Singapore actually stand in the democracies' struggle against the rising forces of belligerent #imperialism?
It is a "business hub" alright, but an #autocracy dominated by a ruling elite from (currently) post-colonial #Chinese #diaspora, some of whom feel a strong pull of the ever more powerful #HanChinese "motherland.
From what I understand Singapore is trying to "play the field", for now, and see where the tide turns. Or worse.
Is is where democracies should be directing their investments though?
Then again, #Hongkong — the pearl of a CCP's banking colony — is *still* considered by some to be an acceptable place for #business by some very decent and ethical people...

"The Indian government will not consider any proposals for new #coal plants for the next five years and focus on growing its #renewables sector, according to an updated national electricity plan released Wednesday evening."
Over to you, #China.

Heute ging es an der TH Köln um das chinesische Spionage- und Cyberrecht - bei vollem Haus mit 170 angemeldeten Teilnehmer:innen! Wer nicht dabei sein konnte: Der Vortrag wurde aufgezeichnet, in Kürze gibt es hier den Link. #china #cyberlaw #cybersecurity #cryptography
If you thought the move away from #fossilfuels might reduce our reliance on countries with troubling governments, then #China's domination of #lithium extraction & processing was always a problem;
this is now compounded by the fact that #SaudiArabia has decided to double its pressing capacity (in response to China's 60% share of the Lithium sector).
So, it looks like in the (potential) post-oil world, we'll still be in a cleft stick over economic relations with the Saudis?
No, I do not believe this is true.
Not the way it is said.
Yes, #manufacturing trade skill sets must evolve somewhat, but “traditional” skilled trades on the floor are vital, highly-sought and have been significantly deteriorated in the US due to production shifts to #China.
We can and must regain this… and a career there will be highly-rewarding if done right.
That’s how you will know it is done right.
We just have to broaden our competencies also.
#China embraces #OSINT to collect publicly available data from DoD, US think tanks and private firms. https://www.recordedfuture.com/private-eyes-chinas-embrace-open-source-military-intelligence
@aristeon89 It is simply absurd that this must continue to be said.
"One #China" (or any variations of it) should have never been an acceptable viewpoint to the West - and kowtowing to #Beijing on this has cost us dearly.
