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).

          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.

        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

          china is its politics.

          Funny reading this on lemmy where almost every single discussion is dominated by US politics, even on posts that have nothing to do with politics.

          “china is its politics.”

          Absurdly ignorant.

          You think a 3000 year old country as large as the US with 1.4 billion people is defined by the recent political actions of a single leader who seized power a decade ago?

          You are perceptually limited here, not the Chinese people and their culture.

          You are woefully ignorant of both what “china” and “politics” are.

          “Basically no one there questions their surveillance”

          You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. Do you have any evidence of this lack of questioning from 1.4 billion people? The protests? Articles? No? Of course you don’t you’re dead wrong.

          “what’s more, they ridicule those who oppose it”

          Chinese people are regularly censured and go to jail for protesting against Xi policies. Go ahead and provide a shred of evidence for your ignorant claims.
