Looks like WS-10, F-110 clone. They have fitted them on Su-27s, and a J-10 for testing.

Instead try to engage in a serious discussion and I'm sure there are a lot of things we can learn from each other. JMT and all that. Amit, BR has been blocked from China for a loooong time. It most definitely was blocked from Wuhan 3 years back. I remember someone running a test to show it was bloc...

[quote="starek]Are you telling me that chinese dont have the freedom to take their two wheelers from one province to another? :eek: Ohhhh so sorry, please forgive me, I forgot that Chinese don't live in a free society. And what about the rest of the photos? Are they air-brushed-copy-for-propag...

More than anything I feel for the Chinese people. They are being taken for a ride and their life saving squandered. And they can't even do anything about it. http://www.eeo.com.cn/ens/Industry/2010/11/05/185005.shtml Why China Railway Construction Corporation Lost Money on the Mecca Light Railway T...

I feel for the IRFC which leases rolling stock to IR. What fools they are for depreciating their equipment and struggling to show a profit. Their total debt load at present is about $7 Billion. This essentially all of IR's debt. I imagine what it would be for IR to raise a debt load of $150 Billion...

- Why is the cost of the Chinese high speed rail two orders of magnitude lower than the New York City subway system? Construction cost of Chinese HSR is only $1 million per kilometer, land acquisition fee is another $1 million. I dont know USA, but in Deutschland and France, HSR construction cost i...

The govt. investors could not recoupe their total investments in long-term, but cash flow is healthy because of depreciation is nothing about cash :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: .. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ..

Rahul Kumar Goel was particularly impressed by two aspects of Chinese Railways which he suggested can be applied to India. "One is that you have to develop a long term and creditable plan, and convince others that you will stick to it. The second would be the high level of design quality of al...

Credit needs to be given where it's due for these new trains - to Bombardier Transportation: Bombardier Zefiro Bombardier Zefiro 380, a.k.a CRH380 In fact, there are 3 type of CRH380s. CRH1-380(CRH380C) is Zefiro, made by Bombardier-Sifang in Qingdao. CRH2-380(CRH380A) made by CSR Sifang in Qingdao...

Of course standard gauge at 1435mm. In fact almost 99% of Chinese railways are of standard gauge, with only a few and unimportant exceptions in remote areas. :) amit boss, wrdos might be unfamiliar with Indian railways jargon which we use. china uses standard gauge(1435 mm) mostly. IR uses broad ga...

Katmandu, next stop.

Overseas companies may no longer find China a lucrative country to set up manufacturing units after the newly-drafted labour laws in southern China's Shenzhen special economic zone (SEZ) wer e introduced, aimed at empowering workers to collectively negotiate higher wages.

Hmm... lots of negative coverage on China in British media. This reminds me of similar coverage that happened in the past about Dubai in British papers. I suspect that something big is on the way... I've seen those news for 20 years, but Chinese economic had been collapsed from No.9 of the world to...

Official data put the richest 10 percent of Chinese at 23 times richer than the poorest 10 percent. By comparison, the United Nations assesses Colombia’s richest-poorest 10 percent gap at 60.4, the United States’ at 15.9 and Germany’s at 6.9. A new study suggests the disparity might be even larger....

One more thing, a few guys here quoted stuff like Solow and factor productivity blah blah blah. How do you know what they are saying is right, assuming you know the real stuff ? By what measure? Ok. Answer this question first and I will give you a clear answer to your question. How do you that the ...

The best way to characterize China today is as a "mixed" economy, with a vibrant entrepreneurial private sector that is export focused (the Shenze/Pearl River model) and the command economy of the Govt owned and govt driven sector (what I called Harbin model). Problem is the govt for reas...

Our race should have never been with China. It should have been with the other democracies of Asia -- Japan, South Korea or Taiwan. Those are the kind of societies and wealth we should have been aiming for and competing against. The fact that we are now "racing" with a communist nation wh...

sir, if they manage to turn the economy inwards, it follows that the chinese will get into self actualisation mode. i do not think that the CCP would desire the chinese people moving on that path. right now the maximum wealth is concentrated in the hands of persons who are lineal descendants of com...

As I known, Beijing govt. paid avg. CNY 30 lakh (INR.2 crore = 2 slumdog millionaires) to every peasant family whoes lands was robbed.

Building temples and so forth creates employment that would otherwise not have been there. And I think you missed the point that Raghav K was making - Indian culture has survived despite not having any grandiloquent pretensions of large constructions. This is because we focused on the morals of the...

If you look at history, the Indian civilization has been in existence more than 5000 years dwarfing any civilization and we have never given importance to shiny steel structures or magnificent buildings like the Greeks or Egyptians (pyramids). We have always given importance to inner growth and is ...

For instance our coal consumption is 400 million ton per annum. This is 1/10th the Chinese output yet is enough for us to produce 1/4 the electricity China produces. We also produce 1/3 the steel China produces. Out of necessity we have the unique opportunity to be the most resource efficient socie...
