I am surprised also. I guess if the US recovers the Chinese spying platforms they should be able to show the world that indeed it was a spying platform. But we will never know if it was not, because its recovery will not be announces until it can be proven that it was a spying platform, if it can now, we will be told that the platform was never found.
As far as doing business with China. That can be the subject for another thread, but I also had a negative experience, with them sending an inferior product to the one we negotiated for , and it failed after a couple of cycles, as opposed to the domestic product we normally used that lasted several cycles. (plastic coated plywood that we use for concrete form, they had not used a sufficient amount of formamide, and the plywood failed after a couple of uses) which meant that we had to make the forms again at carpenter's Union rates of $48 per hour straight time, time and a half over time.
It cost my department a pretty penny and we never did business with them again.
Which was stupid on their part because we buy millions of dollars of plywood every year.
The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.
They copied all of that. Don't kid yourself. You can try all you want but I have been in the industry for far to long and visited their factories and watch them take IP and duplicate it. It's their business model.
When is the last time you saw, designed, developed and made in China. All they can lay claim on is Covid, which they deny...
You mean like you copied the automobile, inflatable tires, electricity, the jet engine, trains, guns, and even pizza and apple pie from Europe? Well knock me down with a feather.They copied all of that. Don't kid yourself.
If you have truly proprietary technology, don't send it 'over there' to be manufactured. "there" meaning anywhere else.
As I mentioned, China comes out with way more patents than any other nation these days. But patents only last for 15- 20 years.
I am sure they will find an excuse. No way will they come out and admit that they were wrong.(if indeed they were wrong)
How about "regrettably what little survived to be recoverable, proved to be inadequate for a occlusive determination."
Or say nothing. In the United States of Amnesia , the publick will have forgotten all about it by next week.
I'm pretty sure the chinese are happy that some think they can do nothing but copy others.
(I'll admit conflict of interest here - I have quite a number of chinese friends and work colleagues - they are quite normal and I don't feel the desire to shoot any of them. I find the good guy:krunt [at][at][at][at] ratio pretty much the same as other nationalities)
I tend to agree. I have witnessed it for years. They are the masters of replicating, apply for a patent like they designed it, then selling sub standard products with their own name on it.
US businesses that transfer IP there are stupid. They all know better now. Years ago they could claim ignorance but not now.
Even worse - don't send a platter of seafood, they'll go mental!
China threatens retaliation after US shoots down ‘Red Zeppelin’ spy balloon
China has reacted with anger and threats of retaliation after the US military shot down a surveillance balloon that floated for days across America in an incident that is increasing antagonism between the two nations.
An official statement by the Chinese foreign ministry expressed “strong dissatisfaction and protest” over the downing of what Beijing insists was “an unmanned civilian airship” innocently launched to collect weather data and driven off course by the wind.
“The Chinese side has repeatedly informed the US side, after verification, that the airship is civilian in nature and entered the US due to force majeure, which was a purely accidental situation.”
It added, “The US side’s insistence on using force is a clear overreaction and a serious violation of international practice.

I thought you were supposed to blow balloons up ?
dunno about that - but many of the a chin name speak perfect strine - like my sister hui ling - because they grew up in stralya
I met a translator on a job in chin land who was from the gold coast with cantonese parents , but he grew up in oz - he spoke perfect stralian , he was working with a drilling company on our site - we were sitting outside a local shop drinking some beer and he translated for us what happened when a chin bloke hopped off a work bus and asked the lady inside how much for a carton of beer , and then told her that he wanted the chin price and note the laowei price - and she told them that our money was exactly the same as theirs and the price was the same
she won my support right there
