Well, I'm still skeptical, but I have far more trust in France's reporting than Chinese claims.

They're part of the same global research effort.

Nice jingoism tho

[tja@programming.dev]

I don't think that word means what you think it means...

[dragontypewyvern@midwest.social]

What do you think it means?

[you_are_it@lemmy.sdf.org]

This is great if so, is it so?

Oh, good old ITER. There where news from records from China, anyone know if this is related to ITER-project somehow and is it multinational project?

edit. probably this: https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/nuclear-energy/chinas-artificial-sun-shatters-nuclear-fusion-record-by-generating-steady-loop-of-plasma-for-1-000-seconds

Yup it is related to ITER -project, so this is a nice thing going on in international scene apparently

SUM: it is so

TIL not believing a genocidal dictatorship is extremist nationalism

[tja@programming.dev]

I think it means what the Oxford dictionary defines it means. You?

[dragontypewyvern@midwest.social]

You don't think uncritical and nationalistic dismissal of the "enemy's" achievements as they must be both strong and weak has a place under "aggressive or exaggerated patriotism?"

I guess that just makes them a racist then.

[dragontypewyvern@midwest.social]

Who's talking about America?

[tja@programming.dev]

As far as I can tell by their comment history they are American, so I don't know how is trusting France to be "nationalistic". Or "patriotic". Or aggressive, for that matter. Not a hint of militarisitc feeling either.

I might be racist too, because I don't trust what comes out of China as much as what comes from France. Or Germany. Or Switzerland. Or Japan. Or south Korea. Or Australia. Or India. Or Kenya. Yes, it must be racism.

Comrade Xinnie.

[jenesaisquoi@feddit.org]

America doesn't have a government. It's a continent. Are you possibly referring to the USA?

[tja@programming.dev]

Don't you DARE disrespect dear leader!

[surph_ninja@lemmy.world]

So just blatant Sinophobia.

[blue_morpho@lemmy.world]

China had a long history of fraudulent science that they need to dig out of to gain a good reputation.

[cybersin@lemm.ee]

Because a shit ton of fraudulent science hasn't come out of the US or Europe. Nope. No sir.

[epicstove@lemmy.ca]

In North America they teach that North America and South America are 2 separate continents.

When someone refers to "America" in the contexts of countries they 9 times out of 10 mean the US. Since people from there usually call themselves "Americans" rather than "United statians"
