Well, begrudging high five to whomever is doing it :)

Maybe the out of work mooch I.T workers, or debt laden college graduates can get entry level work guarding the cables down there.

Bring condoms in case Jaws gets horny and wants a little something something.

God, who says all news is bad.

Quite the contrary

Can you link an article? There has been a lot of talk recently about a Chinese submersible that is capable of cutting cables. But -so far- I haven't heard they used it.

That, arguably, could be regarded as an act of war, given our dependence on global communications and information.

I've not read the article - but i saw the headline on Drudge.

https://www.nbcnews.com/world/rcna229608


as far as China - indeed. I wonder where they got so much money, so much knowhow from. Beats me. I was one of the few against Permanent Normalized Trade relations and WTO for China and I had loudly wished the fundraising scandals (Charlie Trie, Johnny Huang, etc) had been dug into along with missing secrets at Los Alamos.

But, hey, anything from fast food chains to EVs to SmartPhones....somehow China makes that stuff now and they are so similar to stuff made in a certain other country. And somehow they had this huge rich market to sell into.

In the end, i guess it's great. We got stock portfolios and cheap stuff...... what did they get?

Evne the most clueless american might start to realize.

Or not?

I was always against opening trade with China (once I was old enough to understand it...I was pre-pubescent when Nixon went to China). And I spoke out vehemently against giving China MFN status. I still think we should revoke that.
