Freedom. We cherish freedom, and we attain it through technological progress and self-restraint—unlike certain nations that rely on plunder.
I myself am actively considering banning Newton's First Law.

You should update your data; in 2013, China's high-speed rail reached 605 km/h on experimental lines. The CR450 is scheduled to enter commercial service in 2026.

FYI, Seven years ago, China discussed banning killer robots at the United Nations, but the effort failed. The rest of the story is as you can see.

> On April 18, 2000, the BeiDou and Galileo systems were simultaneously declared. According to ITU rules, navigation satellites must be launched within 7 years and the corresponding frequency signals must be successfully transmitted and received in order to obtain the orbital position and frequency resources, otherwise they cannot obtain legal status.

> At 4:11 a.m. on April 14, 2007, the BeiDou satellite, which was tasked with carrying out an important mission, took off and sent back a signal at around 8 p.m. on April 17. At this point, there were less than four hours left before the ITU's "seven-year deadline."

The first production line for solid-state batteries has been built and is currently undergoing pilot-scale experiments.

The US government has banned the sale of EV from China, the EU is demanding minimum prices, and BMW is suing EV importers in Germany[1]. Without these protection rackets, you could definitely afford one by now.

I think some people would be very interested in similar satirical stickers.Unfortunately, this link is sold out.

It must be China or North Korea that forced TikTok to sell.

Commander, you should take a break from the conspiracy theories and anti-China political news. Take a moment to check the news[1] , then declare war on Silicon Valley startups and send a passenger plane to shoot down the balloons[2].
