It's not really about that but since you demand a simple answer... "Sure."
Because they're taking the very rational step of trying to keep the Americans away from their territory?
Lots of reasons but this 'expansionism' has nothing to do with "trying to keep the Americans away" and everything to do with the Chinese government eyeballing their neighbors' undersea resources.
As if the mythical chemtrails rumor* isn't hard enough to beat down
Given that "chemtrails" weren't originally based on rumors but rather what we all fucking saw when we looked up one day, your "yuck yuck" attempt to conflate geoengeering (and what are likely attempts to increase atmospheric reflectivity - history shows that the 'Military/Industrial Complex' has been aware of the impending CO2 problem since the 40's) with 'mind control' are looking pretty thin.
I'll tell you what's special: the fucking thing had no guardrails. I wanted my money back but my parents pointed out that I hadn't been the one who'd paid (my dad even had to walk around the outside just to freak me out).
I realize that the Chinese are not innocent, but from the point of view of an American they are the lesser of two evils.
Only an ignorant American. Our government may be just as stupid, corrupt and evil as China's but their respective methods of maintaining control differ enough that it's obvious which regime people usually try to escape from... and which one* they try to escape to.*
*Media grandstanding notwithstanding (say that fast)
Small and organic farmers have significantly higher rates of e.coli contamination that large industrial farms.
Yes, we should totally run with Big Ag's bullshit projections and false narrastives and freak out about naturally-occurring bacteria growing in the fucking soil like it always has.
Fuck off with your projections and false narratives, shill.
Did the freaks take over the circus while I wasn't looking?
I don't know but there've been tornados in Boston, NGO's apparently want to give our kids sex changes and Biff Tannen is president (as predicted... twice).
If you want it done right, you grow and process your food yourself... or at least support your fellow [local] neighbor.
If you want it done the other way, you support the multinational that will gladly provide an environment that will manage to be both carcinogenic and contagious at the same time. Their rank and file may not be able to afford to eat what they produce... not that they'd actually want to.
Factory-farming and large-scale food production are the problem.
Eating should never be centralized; keep it local.
Clearly it won't be suitable for fixed-wing applications for some time, if ever, but it looks like extremely promising tech for pushing giant hybrid air vehicles.
Soon you'll be able to get your foreskin implanted and just pay for things by "whipping it out" and most of us 'dumb Yanks' won't even be able to do participate.
I still think they are out to correct the complaints about the old SST(Cost per flirght, noise)
If that existing shape is the only way to achieve [sub-optimal] quiet supersonic flight, they'll have to scale it up to rather large airframes or this'll remain a boutique tech for a small handful of impatient ultra-rich.
As an aside, seems to me 'quiet overland nach1+' is all well and good unless it means utterly-unviable designs capacity/economy-wise...

Drink that poo, Ratso.
I think it's entirely apropos that they'll soon be entertaining us with fireworks displays.
"Ching Dao." Geez.
B) are you really trying to say that currencies are never are treated as investments? Really?
I believe the word you're looking for is "hedge."
Suddenly China are the bad guys now?
It's not really about that but since you demand a simple answer... "Sure."

It's Tibet all over again.

It's also not tea.
How did Choc... end up on storefronts everywhere?
Groupthinkers: the first ones up against the wall when the revolution comes.
Ack... typos galore.

...why in hell anyone would think they should be forced to host their competitors in their place of business is a complete mystery.
Perhaps a 'search engine' shouldn't be competing with their clients.

Fucking millennials.
That's really not a lot of watts; are you trying to give them electrostatic afros??
Your mind got wired when everything took longer.
...and required more effort.
Where can this SS tech go?

And to make things worse, batteries do not get lighter as they discharge.
And to make things better, they don't start off heavier.
My kids don't even carry wallets anymore

Gentrification is driven by people who want to live somewhere...
... and often as not, they're renting at an astronomical rate and those rent checks are getting cashed nowhere near.
Capiche??

Let me know when they can harvest them first.
