That's obvious. Chinese are not the same species as the supreme Americans. Obviously research made on mice is more credible to them than research made on actual human beings.

Adolf Hitler would be proud. Americans are the Aryan Race after all, how could the lowly Chinese have the same DNA as them?

But in the United States, Asian Americans have long been considered as a threat to a nation that promoted a whites-only immigration policy. They were called a “yellow peril”: unclean and unfit for citizenship in America.

In the late 19th century, white nativists spread xenophobic propaganda about Chinese uncleanliness in San Francisco. This fueled the passage of the infamous Chinese Exclusion Act, the first law in the United States that barred immigration solely based on race. Initially, the act placed a 10-year moratorium on all Chinese migration.

In the early 20th century, American officials in the Philippines, then a formal colony of the U.S., denigrated Filipinos for their supposedly unclean and uncivilized bodies. Colonial officers and doctors identified two enemies: Filipino insurgents against American rule, and “tropical diseases” festering in native bodies.

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 to incarcerate people under suspicion as enemies to inland internment camps.

While the order also affected German- and Italian-Americans on the East Coast, the vast majority of those incarcerated in 1942 were of Japanese descent. Many of them were naturalized citizens, second- and third-generation Americans. Internees who fought in the celebrated 442nd Regiment were coerced by the United States military to prove their loyalty to a country that locked them up simply for being Japanese.

During the 2003 SARS outbreak, Toronto saw a rise of anti-Asian racism, much like that of today.

In her 2008 study, sociologist Carrianne Leung highlights the everyday racism against Chinese and Filipina health care workers in the years that followed the SARS crisis.

While publicly celebrated for their work in hospitals and other health facilities, these women found themselves fearing for their lives on their way home.

In reality, as cultural historian Robert G. Lee has argued, inclusion can and has been used to undermine the activism of African Americans, indigenous peoples and other marginalized groups in the United States. In the words of writer Frank Chin in 1974, “Whites love us because we’re not black.”

Using it would be essentially equal to using nukes, so what's the point? Judging from the way it works, it is not going to be more effective than the old-fashioned ICBM.

The first advantage I can think of is it can't be shot down by air defense and can't be detected by radars. Second is the nuclear fallout will be localized in the area where it exploded and where the radioactive water the tsunami carries it.

I read an article of US underwater nuclear blast testing in the past, and they found that radioactive water is really hard to neutralize and is at a higher concentration of radiation compared to radioactive air, so it will contaminate the soil and the water supply of the target country for a really long time.

Wouldn't it make more sense for Chinese and American companies to ramp up and replace European engineering as fast as possible?

They havent been able to remove European engineering from Apple where there is certain degree of cooperation between Asia and US.
After covid and post Ukraine it is practically impossible now especially when you look at global scale of turbines/gas compressors/propellers/aviation engines/havoc and the trust the customers have on European engineering especially in extreme climates.
This Ukraine have very deep impact on Europe they expect unconditional solidarity and they will take out all the losses that Europe suffers on the rest of the world.

Has Japan been making much noise recently? I seem to recall they've been saying shit about Kuril Islands again, tried to butt in to the Solomon Island thing and making some noise about quads right?

Because well, PLAN just paid them a visit big time:

That's the biggest PLAN carrier strike group we've seen I believe, a stereotypical full strength US style CSG by composition.

A twitter user's reply to this weapon
https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1521110393812586496
Have this weapon been ever tested before? I wonder if Russia would let China acquire some for their own nuclear deterrence in the future.

Yeah, idiots like this respond with the same space Russia crap until the literal weapon of mass death hits them in the face. Somehow, I am feeling thankful thank I am not living in Europe or the USA right now because it’s pretty clear that they will be the first and perhaps last on the chopping block

Some Western nations are so worried about Solomon Islands, not because China may build a military base there, but because China will build infrastructures there. For them, anything that promotes the BRI is a big no no. It would be "devastating" to them if the Solomon Islands becomes a shining example of the success of BRI.

Meanwhile in the U.S. - no wonder they cannot tolerate China building infrastructures:
