After 300km drive in gobi desert, Now we finally arrived in Mangya. It is one of the most remote cities in China, the closest other city, Ruoqiang, is located 350 kilometres (220 mi) away. In 2018 it had a population of 63,000.



And since it's quite like Mars, it's our official Mars Landing Bass for research purpose, now it's also for tourism.

The Mangya is such tiny town, with only 60000 people, but the town still have a morden airport, it uses ARJ21 plane for short range transportation. Actually, the ARJ21 is the perfect plane for western between small cities.

The hotel in the town is quite old school, but the pricing is OK, only $30.

Now after passed through the police check point, we are officially entered in Xinjiang.

Our destination is Ruoqiang county, it's the biggest county in China, it covers an area of 198,318 square kilometres (76,571 sq mi) (about twice the size of Zhejiang province and similar to Kyrgyzstan or Senegal), making it the largest county-level division in the country.

@ym888 yes, thanks to General Zuo Zong Tang, stablized such big state to us.



Xinjiang has best highway & service system, and lowest oil price.

Han are one of the most trustworthy races in the world .

@SexyChineseLady ; @rockdog ; @ym888
No need to go racial, foreign companies always had trouble in India, by red tape, bureaucracy or selective enforcement.


From industrial view, there are lots of research in China talking about India's business environment.


I hired an India team for coding, but will never setup a company there. I also oppose any Chinese company to investment more facotories and infras project there, it's not about love/hatre, it's just not profitble.


Just selling / buying relation is OK, China earned huge surplus, India got what they want. That's all, end of story.

This is why China is the factory of the world and India is not.

India today has a poverty rate more than double that of 2019. Inflation has always been a problem so the population can afford even less. Unemployment has always been a problem with a particularly Indian phenomenom of "jobless growth" -- a nominally growing economy that produces little jobs so consumption is exceptionally low. This is the main reason why China with the same population consumes as much as 10 to 20 times more in a lot of categories.

FDI is actually down when ASEAN is getting the lion's share of China plus One corporate strategy. Same with trade which had collapsed in late 2022 and 2023 though that is part of the global recession.

This is not a healthy economy to do business with. Especially with the poverty rate and high inflation.

Just do a simple math. China produced twice food than India, but still import lots of wheat, salmons, meat, bxxf, wine, lobster,fruits from USA, Brazil, Agentina ...

India only made 1/2 food compares China, but still one of biggest food exporters. There must be serious problem on their food distribution system.

I think this is the main reason they have extremely low ranking on hunger index.

Plus, i don't want to be racial, but lack of food and protein would be the reason of that famouse IQ map indicated.

A techie's look into the ground breaking SSMB solution being pursued by China for advanced chip lithography. This will break ASML and instantly put China at the forefront of the semicon industry.

Conclusion:
China’s ambitious project aims to create a new light source for lithography machines. It utilizes particle accelerators and SSMB theory. This endeavor could reshape the semiconductor industry significantly. China seeks to localize chip manufacturing and diminish reliance on foreign technologies. The focus is on becoming a leader in semiconductor fabrication, particularly in advanced chips like the 2nm chips. The success of the SSMB-EUV light source could revolutionize chip production. It has the potential to unlock new horizons for scientific research and technological innovation. The future of chip manufacturing may very well be illuminated by this groundbreaking Chinese initiative.

Governing a country of 1.4 billion people is the most difficult thing in the world.

Only China and India can understand

This is not a food distribution problem but a purchasing power problem of the local population.

China's population consumes every bit of food it produces (even though it produces more than THREE TIMES more agricultural products than India.) And has to import food on top of that.

Basically, Indians cannot afford one-third of the food that China consumes and therefore its farmers are forced to find wealthier markets to export food overseas.

India has an inflation problem unlike China which make purchasing everything, including food, a major issue.

So this has nothing to do with distribution. It is a simple purchasing power or poverty issue.

I didn't realize people can give a spin to the fact that "India feeds the world" while "China devours the world food" !! Just imagine with the kind of population explosion world will experience in the next 4 to 5 decades, it will be India which the world will rely on for food production and dousing the hunger. India has been up to the challenge and is already coming up with solutions for world hunger by promoting millets in G-20 summit.

China grows $1.5T worth of food to India's $380B.

It is admirable but it seems you are unable to feed yourself with India being ranked alongside the countries with the most hunger.

Also inflation is forcing India to ban exporting of food like rice.

Almost all of Tesla's exports to Europe and the rest of the world are made in Shanghai! US plant only supply North America.
