GATC obtained nuclear material to expand their arsenal. They tried to recover an broken arrow from the coast of Georgia and a reactor of an sunken Russian submarine. These mission were highly risky and eventually had to be canceled. In recent years they went on to use sea water filter technology. They infiltrated a GOP facility that desalinate sea water. Elements in solution can be separated by the differently sized pores in graphene oxide membranes. By mixing in uranium contaminated soil they accelerate the process. By that they can not only obtain heavy water but also plenty of uranium. They are thus able to construct fission and fusion bombs. | GATC obtained nuclear material to expand their arsenal.

Spite the European Union's goal to show more united strength in the global power game, it remained a paper tiger compared to the actual super powers. The member states were constantly quarreling over domestic and foreign policy with no clear vision for their own position in the world. This self-made chaos, the poor status of digitization in general and the missing ownership of companies for the digital economy (hence even more dependency to USA) were all hampering factors which made it very easy for China to pass the EU in power. <!--As Europe's economic leader Germany's digital ridiculous backwardness is especially to be criticized.

Also, [[wp:Africa–China_economic_relations|China invested]] so much into African companies, infrastructure, and military goods that they trapped [https://www.forbes.com/sites/wadeshepard/2019/10/03/what-china-is-really-up-to-in-africa/ Africa in debts] or shares and mostly removed European's and American's influence from the continent. China needed Africa also to outsource the production of low-value goods and get cheep raw materials. (For this reason later renegade US states and their military (New Confederations) had chosen African territory for their proxy wars. They wanted to thwart China's growth strategy and hinder the installation of an all-enclosing WCG. The African states still remember [[wp:Scramble_for_Africa|Europe's phase of colonialism]] and hence have a somewhat open ear the NC's actual pretextual arguments but see it difficult not to continue trade with China.) | ||
The strongest dependencies China has created can be found within their new "domestic" Asian-Pacific market.

::Lobbies could use pretextual arguments to ban 3D printing in public (not including companies of course). However, a matured technology enables cheap products and spare parts since it reduces packaging, transport and storage costs. Also the goods are produced "on demand". This reduces overproduction (less raw materials, less energy) and recycling of unsold goods. | ::Lobbies could use pretextual arguments to ban 3D printing in public (not including companies of course).

::The problem is not the technology but the mentality, the people who want to own weapons. That reminds to the discussion about the NRA in the USA. Theoretically it is correct that weapon itself are no problem but the people using them. However in real life the availability of weapons increase violence and a social climate of fear. You can even see it at the US police officers. Potential racist tendencies alone could never explain this. There is a reason why those officers always hold their gun ready: they are themselves in fear to get shot. | ::The problem is not the technology but the mentality, the people who want to own weapons.

::The obvious interpretation is that availability of weapons creates crimes out of an existing potential of violence.

China could have given sooner warnings about the threat but didn't because we weren't very nice to them in the past. They didn't wanted to be blamed for the mess. They wanted to protect their rise to power. The few information available not just hindered the work of the WHO but also the perception of us regular people to see what Corona really was. Therefore it was another source of harmful skepticism. They shouldn't have tried to censor images about bursting hospitals and crematories. And so we first thought "oh, it's not that bad, it's just a stronger flu". | China could have given sooner warnings about the threat but didn't because we weren't very nice to them in the past.
