We all know over the last 30 odd years we in the west have given our manufacturing base and as a result a great deal of our wealth to China.
Most people in this country know it’s been a stupid mistake to enable China to become rich at our expense.
Now we find our ex military pilots are training the Chinese how to fight with modern jets.
After the private companies sending those retired pilots to China were criticised by our government, we now discover the Chinese have military students in our military colleges and our government send front line officers to train their counterparts in China.
Who the hell in our government signs this stuff off as ok? Am I missing something here or are they that stupid??

I totally agree with your points but given the sheer scale and direct threat of China do we really need to be helping them to unwrap our military strengths ? |

"70 years ago, they would have faced a firing squad."
For benefitting the Chinese economy?
Shall all those of us who have done so also pay a pro rata personal injury?
Which given the interconnectivity of modern manufacturing with components from all over and in particular China..
Anyone for pinkie chopping?
Swiss knife so at least that's ok!

"I’ve been lucky enough to visit China many times during the last 25 years. The people are great. It’s just the cunts at the top. Sound familiar?"
This is so true and probably true of nearly every country in the world .
Looking at the hardliners XI now has around him it’s not looking good for us or the Chinese people . |

"Nope, not good and not good to be training a potential adversary in years to come. Although, if Taiwan kicks off - that might just be sooner than we think.
Treason."
Garbage, they are retired ex servicemen who can do what they want within the constraints of the declarations they signed.

Blame the feudal system we all live under. It never really went away and its always ben wealthy powerful people having dealings with each other. All political parties and media are just to placate the ever-growing mass of plebiscites. |
