China to the Rescue? In Maine!

Interesting... back in the 80’s China was buying closed/defunct steel mills, dismantling it and moving the whole mill to China...

it wasn’t long and we were getting cheap steel from China.

and since the tariffs... things made a ‘huge’ circle one wouldn’t think possible where now they’re having problems

Given China's relatively recent revealed commitment to (take over the WORLD), should we not be ever-ready to beware of Chinese (Greeks) baring Mill-repairing/removing (gifts) to any modern-day U. S. (Troy)?...

Always, but to do that you need strong leadership that until 2016, we never had with the motto (using a old Russian Russian proverb that's quite fitting) доверяй, но проверяй

"trust, but verify'.

China is leading the world in quantity of published-University-researh-papers these days.

I am confident they were plenty smart enough to figure it out by themselves...

(As for Mexico, I never heard if they did...)

I don’t disagree, but one of the items they are guilty of is reverse engineering.

There used to be a Russian thing called a (Z-23 mobile air defense tracked vehicle) which was, simplistically, an anti-aircraft gun-array (radar-guided?) on a tank chassis, back in the 80's-ish, and it worked relatively well, for it's time...

The U.S. tried to counter that with their ''Sgt. York'' vehicle, but failed (either the gun worked and the radar did not, or vice-versa). Subsequently the U.S. bought a used Z-23 from a (third party) to reverse-engineer it to get the Sgt York (up to snuff). It still failed... In that instance, it was a fitting sequel to the proto-types of the (Bradley infantry fighting vehicle). Refer to ''the Pentagon Wars'' for further information thereon... We still do not have a corresponding weapon system to the Z-23...

Among others, the Russians have subsequently developed a (Z-28) and a (Z-31)...

Apparently, reverse-engineering is not always as easy as it seems to be, even when we do it...

reverse engineer has been going on since there were adversaries.

When Stalin order to copy and manufacture of a B29 that emergence landed in the USSR., that’s what they did, right done to the patches from shell/flak holes, to the pressed ‘Boeing’ name on back of the pilots seat.

Authenticity!!! I like it!!!

I guess it’s ‘toe unfriendly’ though...

Especially for those who qualify on the 1-meter range.

Good thing the M1911 can only hold up to 8 rounds- 1 in the chamber 7 in the clip.

that leaves me 2 toes as spares.

But, are the probable alternatives for next November any better?...

Interesting replies.

I saw an article from the perspective of someone there ten years ago and then recently..

I'll find and post it later.

That’s the way to get around tariffs... and putting good PR spin on it.
so much winning,...

let’s see, should I mark this OT... nah...I’ll let my follows do it,.., at least the more bullheaded ones...

Q: Do modern day TROJANS speak Chinese?

A: Apparently they DO in Maine.

Mao promised that they would bury us. We just didn't realize it would be by our own hand and our own greed. They were just going to "help" our self destructive nature along.
Grave diggers don't kill the dead.

that was Nikita Khrushchev Where it was actually misinterpreted.

Mao In his younger years was in the states for for a while. interesting history about that.
