China can copy, can it create anything new?
- bdangubic 10mo agothey don’t have to
- suspended_state 10mo agoPapermaking, printing, gunpowder, compass, porcelain, paper money, abacus, iron plow, wheelbarrow.
- jesse__ 10mo agoMore recently, net-positive thorium-salt fusion reactors

- cjseal 9mo agoMolten salt reactors are fission reactors.
- jesse__ 9mo agoWhups, yes, my bad. Must have been tired when I wrote that.
- bobsmooth 10mo agoAnything in the last 100 years?
- TSiege 10mo agoI guess you haven't heard about their clean energy sector
- aforwardslash 10mo agoSure, and google "invented" android.
- Qwertious 10mo agoChinese EVs are more technicly advanced than Western EVs.
- aforwardslash 10mo agoThat is a somewhat broad claim that needs decomposing. I would agree that Chinese EV industry is quite more advanced in terms of manufacturing processes and cost optimization, but that is not "technically" more advanced per se, its just a reflection of a culture. Maybe the salt batteries will be a breakthrough, but at least for me it has been difficult finding reliable data on it; Other than that, afaik (and from a layman perspective) there isn't anything inherently superior in chinese EV vehicles from a technological perspective, when compared to western counterparts. Cheaper, yes. But thats about it.
