China has the luxury of being a totalitarian state. Xi does not need to worry about upcoming elections. Unfortunately in Europe any moves that requires great sacrifice might be political suicide.

I am assuming undetectable waves. That is the enemy won't know where the waves are being fired from or even that they are being fired at all.

Yes but they need to obey Turkish law if they want to offer their services there. Like how US websites have to show a "cookies" disclaimer within the EU due to EU privacy laws.

Eh as much as I would like it to be true, I would take the word of captured enemy combatants with a grain of salt.

Well as a company bluesky, would need to abide by the laws of where it is offering it's services.

They can't just ignore the request of the country's government. They could either challenge it in court or stop offering their services altogether.

I think they hate "the west" in general as the population can criticize and pressure those in power. Whereas dictatorships have unquestioned control.

In this case they should have been using government systems for internal transparency and opsec.

Frankly I think Trump sees western nations not led by dictators as threats.

There are people who use tesla parts to make electric car conversions

To be fair, Trump seems to be harsher on western allies than China.
