    Sulk and downvote me all you want it’s just another expression of our imperial decline. Online reddit escapism. You probably still think Ukraine is winning.

    Your country is becoming like Senegal used to be to us, a source of crude oil to import and a place to export fuel at once. We are DRINKING your MILKSHAKE. 😂😂😂

    China is pioneering entire new forms of laser cooling systems. The UK is quite literally catching up.

    As proven by China’s ability to build regular coal power plants at a high standards, nuclear reactors, mass manufacture solar to bring costs down and invent new technologies with batteries outside lithium ion such as zinc-hydrogen, flow batteries, even kinetic batteries. They will be the leaders in the modern next gen battlefield control techniques. Look at their new aircraft carrier designs. We can’t even build new aircraft carriers at an acceptable rate.

    They created a wave-based power system that will surely be useful throughout Indonesia, where they are also building the world’s fastest high speed rail.

    Tell me, what has the left in the UK done for the world lately other than join hands with the right and send money to nazis?

      K, suck that Pooh dick harder man.

      This isn’t even a cogent response to what I said just a “things they did that don’t counter anything you said!”

      “Your country” and “we can’t even”

      You guys got get your narrator down right next time.

        You genuinely have poor reading comprehension. Okay let me walk you through this, laser weapons require extremely high grade manufacturing and electronics to produce. China is a leader in this.

        Chinese metallurgy is top tier and they have all the rare earth production there as a result. This is very important for battery technology, which is critical for lasers. They will have plasma batteries for aircraft eventually, but that’s not important for this stuff right now. The energy density requirements for aircraft are ridiculous. They may need parallel anti aircraft drones to fly along with next gen fighters that carry directed energy weapons in appropriate conditions.

        I’m not debating you point by point your overall view of their military and tech capabilties seems to be from the 90s

        You’re just talking to an American who has investment experience, sorry that we care about actual facts instead of Reddit karma. Karma doesn’t depreciate because it’s completely worthless, like you.

        By the way, you’re really stupid if you’re taking any article that has a big red laser seriously. You should know what a freaking laser looks like man. Grow the FUCK up

        I am an American, that’s what I mean about oil refinement silly pants.

        The battery stuff is important for understanding China’s going to be the leader in directed energy weapons use in actual warfare. They already have truck-mounted platforms that swivel like pan tilt and zoom cameras.

        They are not “stealing tech” lmao we don’t have their metallurgy or automation capabiities now. It’s no longer just a scale issue

        Most of those stories are guys whining about agreements they signed, but now regret. Tough shit. Tech transfers happen. Soon China will be the leader in sub 5 nanometer chip foundries, give it a few decades
