Can there be any news here from China where y'all don't end up on the China is bad, we are good topic?
I feel like this was different before Trump? Did he make all of you come out of the closet?
- hmmmcurious1 3y agoAre we all on the china is bad topic because we're concerned about highly toxic rocket fuel spraying over civilians? Or what are we doing wrong here?
- imp0cat 3y agoReplying to a Chinese troll, that's what. ;)
- kabanda1 3y agoBeing concerned is not a problem. It's the trying to make it look like China is that brutal stone age country that doesn't give a damn about the lives of their people, in total disregard of facts. Have you considered that may they try but fail to land them far away from the population.
- Dylan16807 3y ago> Have you considered that may they try but fail to land them far away from the population. They keep using inland launch sites when this is a known significant risk, so objectively they are not trying very hard.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> keep using inland launch sites Do you know why?

- loxias 3y agoWait, so you don't think that China is a brutal country that doesn't give a damn about the lives of their people? Leaving out the deeply incorrect "stone age" part, that strikes me as a perfectly reasonable objective fact.
- kabanda1 3y agoFrom your echo chamber, you are right

- iAMkenough 3y agoI think you just became more sensitive to it. Sorry, we'll only post good news about China and hide awful stories like this from now on. You're right, China's image needs protecting.

- krisoft 3y ago> any news here from China where y'all don't end up on the China is bad Just to say: this is real bad. Very hazardous to their own people both long and short term. There are historical reasons why they do it, but they could do things differently if they would want to. The underlying reason is that the system does not value the life of the people living in that area. > we are good The US has many systemic problems. But in this particular regard they are absolutely the good ones. The US exhibits a lot of systematic disregard toward the health of its population and select subsects of it. This particular kind of careless disregard would not be acceptable in the US. All in all, you might be right about your point. But this is the worst example to bring it up under.
- kabanda1 3y agoSo with all the changes that China has undergone in the last 30 years, the development in all sectors. The effort they have put in to reduce pollution in their cities. Research in health fields Where do you get the idea that they don't want to do better?
- krisoft 3y agoIt sounds like you are talking about generalities. I am talking about a very particular issue: they launch rockets and stages of the rocket by design fall back on populated areas. These are not accidents. Sometimes in the US, or elsewere, an airplane falls on your house. This is not that case. The rocket in these videos didn’t “go wrong”. (Altough sometimes they do go wrong and then they cause even more devasation.) Some engineer in some non-descript office did a briefing. It went something like this “We will launch the rocket at X. The first stage will land somewhere in the indicated area on the map. It will contain Y kg nitrogen tetroxide, and Z kg hydrazine. Ok?” And their bosses said: “ok”. That is the problem. > The effort they have put in to reduce pollution in their cities. I know nothing about that and therefore i will not comment on it. I know about rockets, that is why i commented on that. But do post when you have sources so we can all learn.

- meepmorp 3y agoFR, people only think this is bad because it's China. When NASA or SpaceX drops NO3/UDMH filled rocket boosters all over villages in Florida and Texas, you literally never hear about it.

- VerminOctopus1 3y agoSuch an absurd thing to post. China is many things, but boiling it down to just “bad” is cartoonishly simple minded.

- yieldcrv 3y agoI'm all for looking beyond political things Beijing does and looking at China the massive country and people itself, that alone breaks the minds of most of colleagues, but this was a very irresponsible to do
- codezero 3y agoAre there domestic Chinese news sources reporting on this event?
- dang 3y agoShallow nationalistic comments are indeed the opposite of what we want here, but please don't start a flamewar about it yourself—that just makes everything worse. "Eschew flamebait.
