Thread: Why the discovery of a Chinese balloon in US skies is such a big deal

Need to keep up, Stump.
Most of such contemporary and generated technological knowhow is quite Chinese in origin.
You must be still hung up on the repeated and traditional Western textbook propaganda.

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.

Cheers Sabang.

Have a beer.

If you have truly proprietary technology, don't send it 'over there' to be manufactured. "there" meaning anywhere else.

If that were the case, they wouldn't have to fucking nick it, would they?

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.

It's in 47 feet of water.

"We can't find it" is not going to be one of the excuses.

Of course a better alternative would be for the thieving chinky parasites to actually honour copyrights and patents.

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.

I have nothing against Chinese people. Like you I have many Chinese colleagues. But many of them have said, do not send disruptive cutting edge tech to China, they will copy it.

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.

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

Thrilling story.

I would think even the chinese and russians could shoot a balloon down, although it might take a few shots.
