they're also experimenting with dogfighting satellites

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.

A compact, deep-sea, cable-cutting device, capable of severing the world’s most fortified underwater communication or power lines, has been unveiled by China – and it could shake up global maritime power dynamics.
The revelation marks the first time any country has officially disclosed that it has such an asset, capable of disrupting critical undersea networks.
Good thing we have the channel tunnel I guess, repurpose that for data cables that are protected.

They already do it by simply dragging boat anchors across, it's obviously going to be weaponized further. There have multiple data and power cables cut like this in the Baltic sea recently. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/12/30/europe/baltic-sea-cable-anchor-drag-russia-intl-latam/index.html

And it was done with something no designed for this purpose. Why is it hard to conceive that a tool designed for it would do much better?

because military subs can't go that deep. It's a lot harder to police.

Yes, they're smarter than us.

Historically they were a solid paper, based out of Hong Kong. It’s a toss up these days though, not sure.

Operational depth is essentially the same as the claimed operational depth that oceangate sub that popped the other year. I have a lot more confidence that these things will actually work when China does it instead of some incompetent millionaire/billionaire.

I disagree. China is a scary place with face recognition and all that shit. I wouldn’t ever travel there. If my job sent me there, I would rather quit than travel to china.
Fuck china. Also Chinese culture in general is pretty unappealing to me, who is used to a free life without all these stupid and arbitrary „rules“ like having to be married or else you’re worthless and all that crap.
I hate the whole thing, not just the government.
But please note that I do not blanket hate all Chinese people though.
-
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.

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.
