2024 Zhuhai Airshow main thread, Air Systems
- Thread starter Deino
- Start date
C'mon, do people actually by the nonsense that you'd get arrested in China? As if China is any different than their own country? What the hell?
If Deino does go to Zhuhai though, do remember that the fields to the south of the airfield is much better for watching the airshows than anywhere in the venue itself, due to where the sun's at.

Actually I don't know for sure ... when I visited Zhuhai in 2018 we had a media-accreditation via my publisher and as such a ticket for - I think - Saturday and Sunday!
Unfortunately, this year we decided not to attend the show.

I've definitely felt the pressure from alphabet soup agencies myself, no doubt they've got a few ops targeting myself
The phantom risk of getting arrested by Chinese authority for leaking PLA secrets.
I doubt they would do such a thing if all he does is analyze pseudonymous pictures someone distributed over the Internet. It is not like Deino is paying wall climbers to take pictures or something like that.
Taking pictures and asking questions in a public event isn't something that would get you arrested either.
People who get themselves arrested go into secret areas they shouldn't be in the first place and do other such activities.
The Canadians who got arrested for spying spilled the beans after they went back to their country. One of them sued the Canadian government for making him engage in spying activities without his knowledge.
Do you think the Canadian government would have paid them anything if they had clean hands?
One of them was living in China in the middle of nowhere right across the border to North Korea. Do you think that is normal?

Yah the point of Zhuhai is that it’s a public show. If there are espionage concerns they wouldn’t put it in a public exhibit. What’s in public is fair game and if you leak something you shouldn’t they’re coming after the person who was responsible for the leaks not the receivers.
