Chinese make their own ball point pen tips.
Couldn't think of s snappy title for this.
The chinese have finally developed the manufacturing technology to make their own ball point pen tips, so obviously trickier than it seems. What more surprised me is they make 38 billion a year http://www.manufacturing.net/news/20...location%3dtop |

Beest's link shows the Chinese are committed to international fair trade, not just increasing export income.

I find it difficult to comprehend that China can build jet fighters, but can't make a pen.

That's why i posted it, who knew it was so difficult, The Wikipedia Page says the mechanics ( The bit the chinese have just figured out) were patented in 1888, Biro's innovation to make it practical was the ink in 1938 |

Actually, it makes me feel a little better about the Chinese as foes. If they can't build a pen, how good can the fighter be?

Could we leak the DNA to Trump under the guise of some superior being?
