China has flooded the world with cars. It’s hurting everyone China continues to cheat the system by doing stuff like 'investing in industry' and 'developing better battery technology' quote:China identified EVs as a sector of strategic interest in the early 2000s, when it realised that Western auto companies’ dominance of internal combustion engines and Japan’s dominance of hybrids gave them a lead too substantial for its own immature industry to challenge. quote:[Western policymakers] are doing everything they can to ensure China can’t compete freely and, they would argue, unfairly.

It would literally (as in precisely) make more sense for you to put the US there. What's the incident rate per capita of police brutality in China anyway?

It's right there, they're citizen focused and less militaristic. Thankfully service guarantees citizenship, so we only have to worry about troops and cops while we focus on reducing the number of freeloaders that take resources away from those true citizens.

oscarthewilde posted:that’s about right. every law degree comes with a free serving of liberal indoctrination what gets me about poo poo like this is that you don't have to be a marxist or otherwise challenge liberal orthodoxy to see how absurd it is. "US police are concerned with serving the community, compared to western European police who are more militarised and care less about making people happy" (not saying euros don't have brutal police, but trying to make them seem worse than the US is not aligned with western liberalism) is something that should make no sense at all to the average moderate/progressive type who has turned on a TV in the last 20 years, but somehow stuff like this still gets published. I guess anything in a textbook can be laundered through the cult of the expert.

The idea that Asian societies lack individuality and innovative capacity has always just been cope from racists angry that Europe didn’t have a river valley civilization and was a backwater until the invention of the caravel and started looting the rest of the world

https://time.com/6663747/pakistan-imran-khan-election-democracy-us/quote:In the near term, however, from the U.S. perspective Sharif is a safe, predictable pair of hands who won’t rock the boat with India. “The State Department seems to be quite comfortable with Nawaz Sharif,” says Tariq Amin-Khan, a politics professor at Toronto Metropolitan University. But Sharif’s record on the economy is poor and reputation for graft “really quite legendary,” adds Amin-Khan. Since the turn of the millennium, per capita GDP in Pakistan has risen by an average of just 1% annually. In 2000, the average Pakistani was some 50% richer than his Indian counterpart; today, they are 25% poorer. Headline inflation rose to 29.7% year-over-year in December owing to tax hikes and a sharp fall in the currency. lol gently caress you, lady

Semiconductor tech is the new aerospace. lol, the Tu-144 was also iced out of international cooperation that the Soviets had requested. Almost looks like it's less that central planning is at fault for driving up costs and instead that the West uses economic sanctions to prevent competition. Buran was the far better design of shuttle. It's simply that space shuttles suck, and the Soviets knew from the beginning that was true, but thought there must be a good secret military reason America was continuing with their lovely design. There wasn't. So they shut the program down after the maiden voyage. Unlike the Yanks who bent to sunk-costs

Aerospace is also the new aerospace, tbf. Russia saying "we have hypersonics" and China saying "we're close to 'hypersonics'". Meanwhile, NATO is furiously developing actual hypersonics. It's the F15 all over again. Ars Technica comments on any China story are fantastic

tbh i don't think a fully maneuverable hypersonic vehicle is possible without much stronger materials it seems like the temps and forces are just too high at those speeds for air to be contacting in the way it needs to for maneuverability in any kinda atmospheric flight at not-space-shuttle altitudes like sub 150k feet like boeing and lockheed keep trying to convince people they can do the airflow changes with how fast you're going relative to the speed of sound, like some speeds will cause problems then others don't bc it's going different speeds over the body but makes a shockwave at mach 1 so the whole thing needs to pass the speed of sound at once or it'll tear itself apart from the shockwave its a lot of why supersonic stuffs all super long with the delta wing shape, short stuff has too unstable wave lengths along the bodywork & gets mach tuck stuff rly easy and other problems you can prolly design for that at hypersonic speeds too on paper but you can't control the air pressure temp or speed and that changes what the airs gonna do, at hypersonic speed something will cover do much ground so fast you couldn't realistically measure it if it's not a predetermined path i bet once something's hypersonic no matter what it's doing some of the airflow starts buffeting too much and fucks up heat xfer & pressure dissipation and stuff and shreds it super fast but they think china and russia are stupid and can 'only' figure out how to stall the airflow & glide

China actually built a hypersonic capable wind tunnel to test this stuff. https://newatlas.com/aircraft/china-jf22-hypersonic-wind-tunnel/ I haven't heard US hypersonic news in a while so I don't know where their progress is. Concorde was basically a status symbol for the capital class, of course it doesn't make sense for the Soviet. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 08:55 on Feb 7, 2024 |

My grandad built Concorde, and everything he DIY'd at home was built from aircraft grade aluminium he stole from work. Now that's capitalist efficiency.

The shuttle was built to scoop up Soviet spy satellites and there were at least a few missions to attempt this but in all likelihood it was a lot more difficult to do than it sounded and both the shuttle (and the Buran which was a response) were sort of pointless. The shuttle was kept around a while for functional reasons but there was a clear reason why Bush killed it out of seemingly out of nowhere. ------------- There is a big deal made that SMIC is still using AMSL equipment, but 5nm is only going to be possible with significant modification and the Chinese clearly have been building their own lithographic tech in the background for years. The West may only be 1-2 years ahead of China at this point. The real fear of the West about losing Taiwan isn't the Chinese are going to reverse engineer the equipment but there would be a massive chip shortage and the PRC would have them by their short hairs.

concorde is a stupidly advanced plane for its time, it's basically the su-27 of airliners in terms of aero magic unfortunately, it still uses way too much fuel to go fastly making it very expensive to fly, so after all the customers died in 9/11 it was retired

The space shuttle failed at its most primary mission: looking cool and awesome to advertise to the world American's superior "next gen" power. Instead of looking like a lion, it looked like a camel. I heard what SMIC is using to fab 5nm semiconductor are less advanced DUV equipments, which were previously allowed to import and were only put on the ban list last year. They basically said gently caress it there is no warranty and support from ASML anyway, let's do crazy liquid cooling overclocking poo poo to make the tools to do things they were not designed to do. The fact that they announce it instead of keeping it down low suggests there are domestic lithographic replacements coming online soon. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 12:32 on Feb 7, 2024 |

Everything is going according to plan. The West is tricking China into making smaller and smaller chips. Soon, they will attempt 0nm architecture, which will collapse the country into a singularity, ending communism forever.
