    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.

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

              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.

              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).

                      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.

                          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.

                            "I disagree"

                            I'mthen you're objectively wrong, as you are disagreeing with facts.

                            "China is a scary place"

                            like the US.

                            "with face recognition and all that shit."

                            like the US.

                            "I wouldn’t ever travel there."

                            good, they don't need your racism you would be an embarrassment.

                            "If my job sent me there, I would rather quit than travel to china. "

                            small favors.

                            ". Also Chinese culture in general is pretty unappealing to me"

                            you obviously know nothing about Chinese culture, and are obviously very racist.

                            "who is used to a free life...."

                            houoooo

                            which "free" country are you from?

                            "I hate the whole thing, not just the government.

                            But please note that I do not blanket hate all Chinese people though. "

                            this is going to shock you, bigot, but all Chinese people are "the whole thing" that you are insulting, despite your racist tantrum being born out of obvious ignorance.

                                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.

                                    It's give and take. China is smart enough to invest in its country and its people. They're making great scientific and technical advances that's on a course that will surpass the west in many areas. The individual rights and freedoms are terrible though to the point where unsanctioned creativity is punished.

                                      "Someone is very butthurt. Probably Chinese, by chance?"

                                      nope, just smart,well-traveled and knowledgeable.

                                      and.... not a racist like you!

                                      I literally said that I don’t hate Chinese people, I hate the culture. That is not racist to hate „work to death“ and „be worthless unless you reach a certain social status“ etc.

                                      I’m sure there a nice aspects. But most of the culture seems forced and cruel. It’s all dependent on social status and that’s kinda sad. I hate that. I would hate it anywhere, not just in china. I would hate it in my country too. So how is this possibly racist? Some cultures are just worse than others.

                                        The whole country is dystopian. But agree there are smart people. They are just used for doing/inventing awful stuff.

                                        They are playing the long game and are currently the only ones benefiting from all that happens. They sit by idly watching our idiot leaders antagonise each other.

                                          "I literally said that I don’t hate Chinese people, I hate the culture"

                                          1. hating a culture, especially when you don't know anything about except the race of the people who make that culture, is racist.

                                          2. what you actually said is:

                                          "That country fucking sucks ass."

                                          these are your new arguments:

                                          "That is not racist to hate „work to death“ and „be worthless unless you reach a certain social status“ etc. "

                                          nobody said that was racist, because you haven't said those before.

                                          what is racist is you not liking Chinese people and their culture for no reason other than their race.

                                          I am glad you are changing your position.

                                          "I’m sure there a nice aspects."

                                          there are many.

                                          "But most of the culture seems forced and cruel."

                                          this is a statement born of ignorance, you can't draw this conclusion because you obviously don't know anything about the culture.

                                          as seen here:

                                          "It’s all dependent on social status and that’s kinda sad."

                                          this is incorrect, stop drawing racist conclusions based on your assumptions and ignorance.

                                          "how is this possibly racist?"

                                          what is racist is you not liking Chinese people and their culture for no reason other than their race.

                                          to the point that you will vehemently insult an entire country, including its people, despite not knowing what you're talking about.
