As soon as Huawei hired podesta, White House’s china policy direction is more or less predictable.

#Britain's ambassador to #China is accused of 'lobbying' Cabinet Ministers on behalf of the Beijing regime Dame Caroline Wilson was appointed to the position last year Sources say she sends letters to Ministers arguing for appeasement of China

2/ When Ms Truss and Dame Caroline discussed China during Ms Truss’s previous job as International Trade Secretary, Dame Caroline asked why the UK didn’t adopt a more emollient approach to China, similar to how ‘we treat the French’.

3/ Ms Truss replied: ‘Because the French aren’t committing genocide.’ Beijing has faced international criticism for its persecution of minorities such as the Uighurs, including forced sterilisation and slave labour.

Old news. Hopefully we start getting more chinooks or being development with Russia or someother western nation
It's more like military hardware diplomacy to keep Russia indulged. China can very well make a medium-lift helicopter when it is already making a plethora of military hardware ranging from attack hepters to fighter jets to strategic lifters.

CCP's reasoning for current aggressive posturing with rest of the world is premised as a response to "Opium wars" and "century of humiliation".

How the Century of Humiliation Influences China’s Ambitions Today

Goes back to Opium Wars
By 1915 the opium trade with China, the biggest market, had ended. However, the British Indian monopoly on opium continued until India won independence in 1947. What confounds Dr Bauer is "how a few thousand opium clerks controlled millions of peasants, forcing them to produce a crop that actually harms them".

The famine and poverty that ensued in rural India (namely Bihar) was no less than genocide.
Forced to grow poppy and bulldoze our ass to not grow wheat, resulting into famine. Forced many Indians to immigrate as indentured labourers. Imagine when I hear some guys saying British raj should return, I find such people to be worthless not even deserve my disdain.

China can create airframe, but proper engine nope. Particularly gearbox for such heavyweight heli is tormenting. Russia with mi 26 has the most powerful gearbox.

Maybe later, Russia may supply engine for Chinese substitutes
