The tool, which is able to cut lines at depths of up to 4,000 metres (13,123 feet) – twice the maximum operational range of existing subsea communication infrastructure – has been designed specifically for integration with China’s advanced crewed and uncrewed submersibles like the Fendouzhe, or Striver, and the Haidou series.

        We literally have starlink and the US run by fascists with nukes. I don’t mind seeing other countries that they threaten ready to combat their information systems.

          Yeah, but that’s only as long as they target the US with their bullshit. Dictatorships don’t exactly have a history of stopping after „defeating“ their enemy. They’ll find new ones (spoiler it’s gonna be Europe).

            Fr dawg.

            Also, I don’t really want to have to learn Mandarin, nom sayin’?

            I’m firmly in middle age and don’t have the mental capacity to memorize 30,000 Chinese characters or whatever the count is.

              You don’t have the mental capacity to learn mandarin? lol that’s pretty nicely worded. I simply don’t have the fucks and would rather die than learn that language. I had enough trouble with French. And they use „normal“ letters.

        no it doesn’t, you racist.

        xi is a harmful influence.

        china is more than its politics.

          china is its politics. its culture has been majorly reshaped by their dystopian shit. Basically no one there questions their surveillance, what’s more, they ridicule those who oppose it

          Piss off. It’s not racist to hate a country. It’s racist to hate their people. Not all cultures are worth being praised. Some deserve to be condemned. And I hate Chinese culture. And Japanese for that matter. They are dystopian if you take a closer look.

          If a country keeps a horrible leader for that many years, it also tells a lot btw. Normally you would re to get rid of said leaders. But apparently it’s fine.

            yes, it is racist to hate an entire country of people because of who they are.

            that is racism. here look:

            “Some deserve to be condemned. And I hate Chinese culture.”

            idiotic, ignorant and absurd racism.

            “And Japanese for that matter.”

            racism.

            “They are dystopian if you take a closer look.”

            you are obviously ignorant about either of those countries and especially anything about their culture.

            which utopian country are you from?

            “If a country keeps a horrible leader for that many years, it also tells a lot btw”

            oh look, you’re blinding ignorance.

            xi abolished term limits years ago. he is not kept in power, he seized it; Trump said he would like to do the same thing.

            “Normally you would re to get rid of said leaders.”

            wildly historically inaccurate and ignorant!

            "But apparently it’s fine. "

            nope, and embarrassingly ignorant.
