- JumpCrisscross 2y ago"Its survey in 2024 found that China ranked top in six out of seven crucial defence-related areas: advanced aircraft engines, drones and collaborative robots, hypersonic detection and tracking, advanced robotics, autonomous systems and space-launch systems." China is ahead of America in space launch systems? By what measure?

- fspeech 2y agoThey are probably referring to military tech here like ramjet. Civilian engine metrics are dominated by operating cost factors: fuel efficiency and maintenance etc.

- aucisson_masque 2y agoIs China the proof that communism works ? I'm kidding ofc, but there is no denial that china with it's centralized planning is more than catching up with usa, they are on the edge of beating them. Meanwhile in the usa people are fighting about some ridiculous matters, like when trump kept saying Obama isn't born in America. War is coming obviously, I hope Europe can stay out of it but even then with 2 great powers there will always be répercussion, whether it's economic or social with the income of immigrants
- Teever 2y agoIt isn't proof that communism works -- it is proof that collaborating with communism and stealing the fruits of subjugated Chinese people who don't have freedoms like democracy and property rights doesn't work. We must put the odious idea of trading with authoritarian nations to bed once and for all. Allowing any authoritarian nation to exist, especially one the size of China is like ignoring a festering wound and trading with one is like pouring filth on that wound. Every democracy is threatened by the presence of authoritarianism and it must be wiped off the face of the earth by any means necessary. To do otherwise is to ignore the problem until be becomes to great to ignore and even possibly defeat. We have ignored this problem and even profited of it for far too long. We owe it to every human being on the planet to provide them the opportunity to live in a liberal democracy.
- feistypharit 2y agoI can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, but half of the US thinks WE should have an authoritarian government. We may soon be in a post-democracy world.
- Teever 2y agoI agree that we should extinguish authoritarianism where ever we find it, at home and abroad. It is also important to recognize the link between this domestic authoritarianism and foreign. There is an incontrovertible link between the rise of American authoritarianism and Russia's attempt to invade Ukraine.
