Beijing did a tech reality check on its industrial champions. The results were not amazing The country’s big conglomerates are almost totally reliant on foreign suppliers for key components, countering suggestions that China is on the verge of being a technological superpower He Huifeng UPDATED : Wednesday, 18 Jul 2018, 11:00PM China’s champion industrial enterprises are almost completely reliant on imports for top-end computer chips and crucial components, a state-run news service has reported, echoing calls for caution about the country’s technological prowess. The report by the official China News Service was based on a survey by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of 30 of China’s biggest conglomerates. The ministry questioned the companies about 130 “core components and materials”, finding them reliant on imports for 95 per cent of central processing unit and CPU-related chips for their computers and servers. The companies also depended on foreign suppliers for 95 per cent of the advanced manufacturing and testing components on production lines for various sectors, including rockets, large aircraft and even cars, according to the report published on Friday. About a third of the “key materials” covered by the survey were not available in China, the state news agency reported, without detailing the items covered or when the survey was conducted. The ministry did not release any information about the survey.

Wrinkle-Bots oppose Boris Johnson's Trump-plan to pay for Brexit with NHS cutbacks - (London) Rude ill-mannered Wrinlke-Bots and their younger quisling-supporters have been protesting Johnson's proposed NHS cutbacks across the UK, coinciding with a visit from Donald Trump and well-coordinated attack by Wrinkle-Bots across Russia aimed at Putin's necessary repeal of old-age programmes. Johnson merely pointed out that maintaining NHS was never intended as a "lifelong entitlement programme". "It's completely unreasonable to continue diverting essential healthcare services from the young to Britons over the age of 78," Johnson said. "Brexit will allow Great Britain to stand-proud but we all understand this process comes with certain inevitable costs which must be bourne and cuts to NHS services are the most straightforward way to pay for these. I've spoken with a great number of older Britons who are eager to pay this price to avoid "being lectured by old German Aunties." When asked about the NHS banner posted on the sides of his 'Brexit bus' many months ago, Johnson said, "This was a grammar problem with the confusing use of a double-negative. What the banner should have said is "The EU sends us £350 million - Let's not fund the NHS instead". I was too busy during the Brexit campaign to catch this complex error in grammar." Prime Minister Theresa May being publicly lectured by some old German Auntie regardingn NHS expenses.
