Interestingly, these guys don't have a very good reputation on the Chinese internet.

Their projects are essentially the equivalent of graduation projects for ordinary STEM undergraduates, but they're packaged as innovative projects through topic-setting, language guidance, and special effects.

Just like the American startups that can be seen everywhere on X, which actually do nothing but keep using the trend keywords like AI or LLM

This kid does have some good ideas. Using massive amounts of low cost weapons to overwelm a small numbers of high tech and very expensive systems. And disperse your production facilities so they can't be taken out with just a few hits.

However I also think that what he is trying to do will not work. The US simply lacks the resources to compete against China in the long run. Especially when it comes to manpower and money. China graduates about 8 times the number of STEM students and twice the number of PhD's. I have heard about emigration and H1B visas. It doesn't matter you are not going to win a numbers game against China. And the Chinese saves up to 40 percent of their income while the Americans only saves about 3 to 5 percent of their income.

China also has structural advantages. China's economy is driven mainly by production while the US economy is driven mainly by speculation. And the Chinese value science, technology and industry much more than Americans in general. As China in the past was repeatedly defeated because its lacks the technological and industrial means to let her people prosper domestically and defend herself when attack from abroad.

At the end of the 1970s two things happened almost simultaneously in the world. China began to transition its economy from a command economy to a market economy. And the US began to transition its economy from a industrial economy to a services economy.

The result is today China is an industrial superpower and the US is a hedge fund with nukes.

Trying to envision flying drones into China to cause mass destruction like this at 21 years old means this freak is a lost cause, as though innocent lives is only existing for this bastards profit margin. This should be grounds for in the event of an any kind of fight between China and the USA which the USA will obviously start that this person should be made into a high value target for extermination. The USA seems to think they can deliver mass death to civilians of other nations without consequence like they have for the last half century, sure one day when the reverse happens, said enemies will make it their priority to return sure actions with extreme interest but what do I know, the USA is currently full of hubris and have no concept of karma or even worse thing that God himself blesses them. Almost ripe for something bad to happen to them

Even though I've been fully aware of CPV wouldn't join the US to attack China regardless of the reddit experts , I was always afraid of the US influence to Vietnam from the the SoCal AZN Baby Gurl w the Chanel/LV bags and the guys flexing their lifestye which could lead to a color revolution attempt. Apparently the CPV are aware and cracking down. The population is relearning about the recent war against colonialism. Now, the hip derogatory term is to call someone a "Cali"

The irony is anti-communist Vietnamese in the US have no problem going back to Vietnam to spend money to feel like kings there. If they were so anti-communist, they shouldn't be going back to Vietnam to spend their money there which I hear so many stories of Vietnamese in the US that do. Like I see with Chinese and other Asians that are pro-US/West, they bark loudly but they don't know what they are suppose to stand for means.

Until we develop ethnicity swapping tech they will always look East Asian and be subject to prejudice.

Hearing now the insecurity from US military tech bros because of the parade. Good luck finding the money for this guy’s idea of launching millions of drones onto China’s factories. Maybe he misspoke being a child acting like an adult but millions of $400,000 drones aren’t cheap.

Producing millions of obsolete drones is not a good idea. I suspect only China has the capability to ramp up the production of drones on demand, and keeps upgrading and improving these drones continuously during the process.

Why? Costco stores sell plutonium?

bebops said:

This is bad news. I think China has to work on their defense system more. First it was the HQ9 defense system for Pak that didn't shoot down Brahmos on many occasions.

Only the offensive system seems to be working as expected.

What kind notion does "Defence Blog" try to convey? Saudis are such raging idiots who bought the weapon system from China without rigorously testing it beforehand?

I didn't know that Western sanctions killed so many in the Global South.

Well, it makes sense now.

?

Didn't know this was a thing...

Venezuela does not have most reserves and what ever is there is not worth exploring. Putin has been dealing with them since 2000 and Lukoil/Rosneft early investors. Sanctions does not prevent Russia from becoming foreign largest investor in Iran so why it will be for Venezeula. Putin is offering cooperation for the development of Alaska. this is the direction of reserves even with expensive labor.
Russia spending like $150B on Vostok oil and every other resources development will be additional and these skills/ project management give him confidence.

Nothing is cheap in the US. You can have crappy and expensive in the US but not good and cheap. Everything is expensive in the US because that's how it works. No one does anything if they're not going to profit by it. So all these military tech bros are in to getting big expensive government contracts to develop that doesn't have any oversight. Just like US charities hide behind "administrative costs", these tech bros can hide behind "development costs". It was found that fifty thousand US military supply chain lines start in China. And John McCain made a big deal when one computer chip made in China was found on the F-35. That's what these tech bros are doing. They have to show something to the US military to get a contract or get investors. They buy technology from China so they can make a working prototype to show off and to get a contract. Using Chinese technology is no problem. They'll just ask for more money to clone Chinese technology because they already got the government on a hook. They can either do that or like how John McCain found out, they can just use the money to buy the Chinese parts and make more money that way instead of relying on expensive US means of production.

No wonder Palmer Luckey made that Tiananmen Square cope comment after the parade. His CCA looks impotent to what China has. Everyone that looks at his are going see China's in their heads first.

One of the reasons why everything in the US is crappy and expensive is that executives and board members of corporations are more interested in boosting the companies share prices rather than offering their consumers better quality products and services.

Okay, well, like, you know, some stuff I don't talking about at this forum. I do not want to indoctrinate.

I mean, it is too late for me, and I would like younger generations to have a chance. So not to poison their minds, crap like that.

Since we are talking about it, this is what I really think.



The Americans, those in power, are among the most fucking abusive people around. Their levels of abusiveness is off the fucking charts.

So Seal Team 6, ran into some North Korean villagers. Could be. Then again, maybe they were Veit-Cong, or regular NK Army. That justifies it. Better them than me, that is how and what they would think.

They think that way because they are fucking abusive motherfuckers like ever fucking invented. Why do we see the American black so angry, because the angry black man usually is always on the receiving of American abuse.

But that is how Americans like it for the most part. That is why they elected Trump. An abuser who will abuse someone else, just like old times.

The only saving grace for America, is some people actually have a conscience, and with freedom of speech, they are allowed to speak, before they get cancelled. Harder to get cancelled nowadays with social media, but that was how it worked.

The people with a conscience in America is a small minority, but still that was how the Vietnam War ended. It was history first TV war, and the average America watching the 6:00 o'clock news got to see villagers getting killed and US Army getting killed. Finally they had enough.

Until then, it was okay for America to practice industrial war against hapless villagers, since they were Viet-Cong or loyal to the Kim Dynasty.

Just wait until someone puts industrial war against the Americans again. Actually, there are only two candidates, Russia and China.

We see what happens.
