I keep seeing people discount Chinese achievement because they 'steal' the tech. I don't think my country could pull this off even after stealing all the tech. It's quite an achievement. I hope this'll show people what's coming. China isn't rising anymore. They're rolling out of bed. The next century belongs to them
- thinking about Werner Von Braun and the peenemunde Yea I'm not sure anyone has a leg to stand on when it comes to "stolen" technology and space
- Honestly the USA would have issuez pulling it off today. After creating the tech taken from german desigbs over 50 years ago.
  
  german desigbs
  
  They were good desigbs, though.

- Predicting the next century seems a bit much. But I'm glad they are experiencing success, I hope we all benefit from their discoveries.
- China files more patents than the next nine countries combined.
  
  China is first country to hold over 4 million domestic patents
  
  The number of China's domestic valid patents does not include those held in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

  Ofc not, if i would be serious i would have written straight
- You know it’s in the sun when the side we can see isn’t, right?
  
  I’m against the ccp’s bullshit as much as the next guy, but the hardest part of confirming it is that it’s always facing away from earth,so you need something orbiting the moon to communicate with it.
- How much do you think the US paid China to lie that the moon is not a flat disk?
  
  I dont give a fuck about US or china, there are diffrent countries without them
