The tool, which is able to cut lines at depths of up to 4,000 metres (13,123 feet) – twice the maximum operational range of existing subsea communication infrastructure – has been designed specifically for integration with China’s advanced crewed and uncrewed submersibles like the Fendouzhe, or Striver, and the Haidou series.

I followed the thread just to see where it landed and I was not disappointed.

And for a well travelled and knowleadgeable person, you give off a very narrow view.

So, in one corner, we have an authoritarian regime, well established, known for violently suppressing minorities and heavilly surveill the citizens, take over territories, and constantly menace and threaten others, while thriving by manipulating money flow world wide and internally using slave work to run their industries.

On the other, we have the exact same thing, but flag and language changes. And classical political quadrant.

You can loathe a regime and have nothing against the people underneath it. Chinese were lead into an authoritarian regime through force, Americans were subtly led to the same through fear. The original premise: a land of freedom, for the people.

If we can not agree both countries are, essentially, the same, then one of us is refusing to aknowledge facts, willingly.

“So, in one corner, we have…” a biased collection of recent historical political actions by one man by which you are judging an entire country, its culture that has existed at least 300 times as long as that dictator, as well as a population of 1.4 billion other people.

“On the other, we have…” a failed direct comparison that falls apart under the lightest scrutiny.

“You can loathe a regime and have nothing against the people underneath it”

nobody argued you can’t.

“Chinese were lead…” oh boy. rough.

“Americans were subtly led…”

HAhah, come on…okay. Please elucidate the subtleties of the American conservative, particularly their blunt leader.

“The original premise: a land of freedom, for the people.” This is incorrect. a “Muslim ban” was proposed.

look at his policies. Rump is a rapist. not a subtle rapist, just a rapist.

“f we can not agree both countries are, essentially, the same, then one of us is refusing to aknowledge facts”

I think you are much more ignorant of the facts than refusing to acknowledge them here.

These countries are not the same at all. All facts go against your failed comparisons here and the similarity between the two countries overall.

In fact, you argue against your own conclusion by claiming the two recent dictators came to power differently.

You have no cohesive point or consistency except for how contextually and factually ignorant you are regarding every point you try to make.

You hate the culture as a whole? Or hate just the regressive/reactionary/conservative/more traditional(to a westerner) elements of it?

“I literally said that I don’t hate Chinese people, I hate the culture”

  1. hating a culture, especially when you don’t know anything about except the race of the people who make that culture, is racist.

  2. what you actually said is:

“That country fucking sucks ass.”

these are your new arguments:

"That is not racist to hate „work to death“ and „be worthless unless you reach a certain social status“ etc. "

nobody said that was racist, because you haven’t said those before.

what is racist is you not liking Chinese people and their culture for no reason other than their race.

I am glad you are changing your position.

“I’m sure there a nice aspects.”

there are many.

“But most of the culture seems forced and cruel.”

this is a statement born of ignorance, you can’t draw this conclusion because you obviously don’t know anything about the culture.

as seen here:

“It’s all dependent on social status and that’s kinda sad.”

this is incorrect, stop drawing racist conclusions based on your assumptions and ignorance.

“how is this possibly racist?”

what is racist is you not liking Chinese people and their culture for no reason other than their race.

to the point that you will vehemently insult an entire country, including its people, despite not knowing what you’re talking about.

“…as facts, that is called dumb and deceived…”

You use incorrect words, conjugations, punctuation and definitions as incorrect responses to your own reading incomprehension. I can help you with your English(the capitalized language).

“Your comments really come off as CCP propaganda”

i warned against condemning and insulting am entire country of people and their culture because the self-appointed dictator is a harmful influence.

so by me criticizing the head of the CCP and his harmful influence on China, you are seeing “CCP propaganda”?

sounds like you might be influenced by…propaganda.

“trying to fool people for the sake of a shitty government.”

how does my criticism of the head of the Chinese government in charge of all policy decisions in the last decade fool youn into support of the Chinese government?

World News

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
