J-20 production has reached a ceiling without new facilities. It is indeed much needed to continue transforming the airforce with new facilities and also bring in competitors to Chengdu. That's nothing I haven't said.I don't give a cr4p about F-35 because we're talking about J-20 here, not F-35. Why are you so insistent about bringing F-35 into the discussion?
The facts are:
- There are workers who passed away at their workplaces at Chengdu AC (Yankee & Co. even used the phrase "有同志在工作岗位牺牲");
- Chengdu AC has pretty much reached their celling with regards to J-20 production at present; and
- The PLAAF deems necessary to bring J-35A into active service to meet the PLAAF's demand for 5th-gens as soon as possible (whlist also somewhat helping out Chengdu AC).
Which one of these is so hard for you to process and understand? Because I didn't see any. Unless your purpose is just to 鸡蛋里挑骨头 (picking bones from an egg) because of just how you feel something should or shouldn't be like, then I believe there's nothing to discuss here.
What I disagree on is adopting highly questionable terminology that implies claims that have no basis in reality about production plants. Like I said, nobody works any more than they want to or can get scheduled in program like J-20. If someone eats fast food or smoke cigs every day because they're focused on being an engineer then eventually gets a stroke or becomes morbidly obese, that's not called dying from overwork! Nobody sane will ever say that.
My point about F-35 program still stands, there has surely been more than 2 people passing away in the whole duration of that program, and the words "died from overwork" is not used by them to describe whenever their engineers pass away for 1 reason or another, so why should it be used by us?? Care to justify why?
