China's Type 075 before it was scorched by today's fire.
Warzone/The Drive: Fire Breaks Out On China's Massive New Type 075 Amphibious Assault Ship
The blaze struck while the ship was tied up to the pier at Hudong–Zhonghua Shipbuilding in Shanghai.
China's first big-deck amphibious assault ship, a huge vessel that was built in a miraculously short amount of time, caught fire on Saturday, April 11th, 2020. Photos and video showing the ship billowing large clouds of black smoke hit Chinese social media earlier in the day. The warship, which is the first of the new Type 075 class, was resting alongside the pier at its birthplace, Hudong–Zhonghua Shipbuilding in Shanghai, when the blaze broke out.
You can and should read all about the Type 075 and why it is a major accomplishment for the rapidly expanding People's Liberation Army Navy in this past piece of ours.

Blame Trump!
Chinese, US scientists are working together to fight coronavirus despite their governments’ bickering
Inkstone! Lapides really!
"Chinese, US scientists are working together to fight coronavirus despite their governments’ bickering"
And stupid, moron parrot?
I know a lot of Chinese. Good people. But their government is a doozy and their government lied big time.
Trying to equate the Chinese government and the American one? Of course you are. you a re sheltered putz. How many time have you been out of your region and traveled?
I am citing science people and not govt...after all, china pres is fascist and trump a dummy
How many times have i travelled? Well, have been to Israel a few times, Spain and Italy and Korea and Japan... at least 3 times to Mexico...next question?
Loser.
"Well, have been to Israel a few times, Spain and Italy and Korea and Japan... at least 3 times to Mexico...next question?"
Korea & Japan: 6 decades ago. Japan just passing through on the way to Korea. Trip courtesy of the USG. Didn't want to go. No curiosity to go again.
Israel: Makes sense. You are putatively Jewish, although definitive proof is thoroughly lacking. Went to Israel for the same reason you went into the service or to college. Following the crowd.
Spain and Italy: Stopovers on the way to Israel? Would you have gone there otherwise?
Mexico: 3 times! Now, this is telling. It was a "few" times to Israel, but you do know you went 3 times to Mexico. Wow! Resort and/or canned vacation. Bar tab included?
Once you left the military, went to college and became a prof. Upper middle class the whole time and that is the best you can do? Sad, sad commentary on a person's intellectual curiosity and their utter blinkeredness.
You went to Mexico 3 times. Tell me you are least saw Teotihuacan and climbed the Pyramid of the Moon.
Thanks Vatican go for it
yo binary person: I served in our military twice...don't like it, tell me what you did you fucking ninny..Israel? to visit my son in elite IDF outfit...My other son, US Marines...now shit for brains tell us about the cub scouts
Easy to stalk and unload fem bullshit but tell us about your adventures in Disney World

You sure have a fixation!
India’s president is linking the delivery of U.S.-purchased hydroxychloroquine medicine to his demand that President Donald Trump help India’s outsourcing workers stay past the expiration of their work visas, says a report in one of India’s leading newspapers.
The Hindustan Times reported on April 10:
The Indian government has asked the US to extend the validity of visas, including H-1B and other types of visas, held by Indian nationals who have been hit by the Covid-19-related economic slump, people familiar with developments said on Friday.
Foreign secretary Harsh Shringla took up the matter during his telephone conversation with US deputy secretary of state Stephen Biegun on Wednesday, when the two sides also discussed ways to enhance cooperation to counter the pandemic and ensure the availability of essential medicines [hydroxychloroquine] and equipment.
“We have been in touch with the US government, requesting them to extend the validity of visas of Indian nationals – H-1B and other types of visas – who are stranded in the US due to the pandemic,” said one of the people cited above, speaking on condition of anonymity. “We are closely monitoring related developments,” the person added, without giving details.
The demand is a tough sell for Trump, who has yet to implement his March 2016 promise to end the H-1B visa’s role as a cheap-labor program for many Fortune 500 companies in the United States.
But India’s government and economy rely on the wealth earned by “Non-Resident Indians” in the United States — and the coronavirus crash is sending hundreds of thousands back home during the next several months.
Still, the departure of hundreds of thousands of India’s college graduate visa workers would be a huge gain for many swing-voting, middle class American voters in 2020 — and for the politicians who needed their votes.
U.S. visa worker rules include a superstructure of many clever and complex exceptions and loopholes, all of which are designed to help U.S.investors and CEOs freely hire and fire large blocs of cheap, male, Indian visa workers. The set of complex rules also allows executives to bypass the many workplace rules and anti-discrimination laws that Congress adopted to help all American professionals win the jobs and careers needed for a middle class life.
The Trump administration has many task forces — but still no plan for beating the pandemic

And there is also the “doctors group,” a previously unreported offshoot of the original task force that huddles daily to discuss medical and public health issues, created in part to push back against demands the health experts view as too reckless.
In theory, the small flock of task forces are all working toward the same goal: defeating the coronavirus and getting the nation back to work — and life — as quickly as possible. But the reality is far more complicated: a bureaucratic nesting doll of groups with frequently competing aims and agendas.
As a result, an administration that has lagged behind at nearly every step of the pandemic still has no consensus plan for when or how to reopen parts of the economy, even as Trump and many advisers push to do so as soon as May 1. There is still no concerted plan for getting vital medical supplies to states, which are left to fight among themselves or seek favors from Trump. There is also no developed plan for what happens if cases or deaths spike as people begin to return to work, or how to respond if the coronavirus surges again in the fall, as many public health experts and administration officials fear.
Public health experts say that among the keys to returning to normalcy are nationwide virus testing (to determine who has the virus), serological testing (to allow those who have been exposed to the virus and developed immunity to return to work), and contact tracing (quickly tracking all the contacts of an infected individual, to halt further spread). Two task force officials said that more important even than nationwide testing is surveillance — using data to make informed decisions about public health.
But the administration has not fully grappled with the sheer manpower and resources required for an effort like contact tracing — and right now, there are not even enough coronavirus tests for those who need them, let alone the entire country.
A new ad from a group of anti-Trump Republicans claims that the president prioritized his golfing hobby over his duty to protect the American public from the coronavirus pandemic.
After pointing out that the new coronavirus has so far killed three times as many Americans as the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the narrator of the ad challenges President Donald Trump's claim that he was unable to adequately respond to the impending threat in January — when one of his own senior advisers, Peter Navarro, first sounded the alarm — because he was distracted by fighting impeachment.
"Where was Trump? He wasn't distracted," the narrator says of Trump. "He had plenty to do, like campaign rallies and golfing."
The ad continues to describe events which should have raised red flags, including devastating outbreaks overseas in Europe.
"Trump played more golf and packed thousands of people together. Sounds safe," the narrator says, before concluding that "Trump just didn't care, and he still doesn't. He was never distracted, and Americans have been paying attention."
Trump says ‘germ is so brilliant antibiotics can’t keep up with it’ in chaotic White House coronavirus meeting

The day coronavirus became the number one cause of death among Americans, US president Donald Trump appeared to confuse the viral disease with a bacterial infection which could be treated with antibiotics.
In a meandering address to journalists on Friday which lasted over two hours and veered between incomprehensibility and flippancy, the president pondered the nature of the deadly virus, which he described as a “very brilliant enemy”, and a “genius”.

Sharing the full story, not just the headlines
Despite the grave threat Covid-19 poses to the global economy, Mr Trump revealed the deficiency in his understanding of how the disease spreads and how it may be treated.
No one questioned the length or character of your military service.
On a side note, why are you resting on your son's laurels?
What was questioned was your worldliness (the quality of being experienced and sophisticated)? You had the time and money for quite a bit of world travel and yet availed yourself not. Except for travel to resorts, which are notorious for being walled compounds, where people from industrialized countries drink industrial amounts of alcohol in the tropical sun.
So much wasted. So blinkered. Those poor, poor students.
Look who's talking!
Never stop lying do you?
Lying braggart.
Lying braggart!
Liar
Burn ya bastards!!!
Unlike Biden, you can remember that you have been to Mexico 3 times. Can you remember the names of the resorts?
