Seriously, SJ. Has China put its citizens on the Moon? Or has any other country on planet Earth done what the USA has done? |
I'm a CCP critic as much as any sane person should be but this infrastructure, military and scientific development aren't areas you can really criticise. You can easily point out that they are using citizens and some nefarious tactics to steal US and European public and private research but ya can't criticise them on actually getting shit done effectively. Maybe some smaller building companies try to fast track development or end up fucking up but that happens even more in the west. We have a whole fuck up here in Ireland alone where people were tricked into building with Pyrite and now hundreds of houses are falling apart due to a slew of fuck ups and nasty practices. The odd road and building falling apart in China is par for the course and I'd honestly have expected it to be happening more with the shear speed of development.
Top image is 1990, second is 2010. Might not be as crazy as the UAE but they did not suddenly come into godly amounts of oil money.
If you believe all of this high speed rail to be defective then your head is defective. No one would be using it if it were killing people.
They'll be on the Moon yet if they have reason to be there. I seen an Article where India was joining them in a proposition to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon to be able to power a human base. Oh and they did this, this year...
June 25 2024 marked a new “first” in the history of spaceflight. China’s robotic Chang’e 6 spacecraft delivered samples of rock back to Earth from a huge feature on the Moon called the south pole–Aitken basin. After touching down on the Moon’s “far side”, on the southern rim of the Apollo crater, Chang’e 6 came back with around 1.9kg of rock and soil, according to the China National Space Administration (CNSA).
Seriously. China aren't just taking the world by storm with Wukong, they have the potential to actually take the world by storm in every aspect of life.
