The only point of this war that is interesting to me is Indian Air Force uses Rafale a fighter jet supplied by France and Russian jets Sukhoi Su-30 and Mikoyan MiG-29 for air strikes . In other hand, Pakistan owns Chengdu J-10 fighter jets are supplied by the Chinese military. This is a kind of confrontation between Western countries and China. I wonder whether Chinese military weapons are superior or French and Russian-made jets.

Based on what this report presents, Pakistan has had the upper hand in air forces so far. Apparently Chinese weapons have appeared to be better than French and Russian ones. I think this combat gave the United States and other Western countries a good opportunity to evaluate the strength of Chinese weapons.
Also this summary article confirms the point.

that's why china has to be dealt with

tariffs won't help though

The smart thing to do, really the only thing to do, would be to produce such things locally. However, we're retarded.

President Trump Issues Executive Order Rescinding Additional Biden-Era Presidential Actions
On March 14, 2025, President Trump issued an Executive Order rescinding an additional slate of Biden-era presidential actions. Among other rescinded Executive Orders and memoranda, President Trump cancelled two determinations under § 303 of the Defense Production Act that renewable energy resources were critical to national security. The rescinded determinations made those findings with respect to solar photovoltaic modules and module components (Determination 2022-15) and to electric heat pumps (Determination 2022-18).

I just don't understand why anyone still bothers with using Twitter or Facebook (or any other social media) for news.

The news is a waste of time. "BREAKING NEWS" is rarely breaking. When news breaks, rarely is the full story presented. There will be incomplete details, bias, and no editing or refinement. You could read breaking news / play by play updates and waste hours and even days.

I highly recommend reading this essay: https://www.gurwinder.blog/p/the-intellectual-obesity-crisis
