Xi: Our New Fighting Moves Are Unstoppable

The watching world saw a significant display of diplomatic unity in Beijing today, as China's Xi Jinping, Russia's Vladimir Putin, and North Korea's Kim Jong Un met in public for the first time. Alongside a vast military parade marking 80 years since the country's victory over Japan in World War Two, the meeting formed part of a day of statements for Chinese President Xi Jinping. Crowds of over 50,000 in Tiananmen Square witnessed laser weapons, nuclear ballistic missiles, and even robotic wolves - a display that will now be heavily scrutinized by Western defense officials, our security correspondent writes.

Trump also criticised Putin and Kim for conspiring against his country. "Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America. "May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration."

Now THAT was a military parade.

Most of it is probably ripped off/stolen versions of tech from other countries. China doesn't crate anything, they just reverse engineer and make it worse.

So I'm betting most of this is junk.

China was taught by the best.

Apple's deep manufacturing presence in China involved a significant transfer of technological expertise, which helped fuel China's rise as a global tech powerhouse. This was a consequence of Apple's need for high-quality, large-scale production, which benefited China in ways that went far beyond basic factory assembly.

Underestimate the Chinese at your own risk.

This is true ... now the Chinese are surpassing Apple. We had trouble with the ICE, so went straight to EV. Now no one can match China's capabilties.

In China we can build hundreds of large container ships a year. The US can barely build 1. China can build 10 warships a year, the US can't produce 1 in a decade.

Not pointed at you. We are failing our kids culturally and other nations will pull ahead.

I spent a hell of a lot of time in academia. Chemistry used to be unreliable from Chinese publications. Now I'm not so sure.

I currently work with Chinese colleagues and they have it together. Won't share too much IP though, hah.

My apologies. You quoted my post, so I wasn't sure.

There are still significant problems in the biological sciences when it comes to Chinese publications.

Self-citation, repeat publishing of the same data just changed a bit in presentation, shady analysis, P hacking ect. All because the lab system there for biology is like little fiefdoms and the primary currency is papers and citations.

Sure, the Chinese parade of hardware makes them look good but can they really work and can their militaries work together in a concerted coordinated manner the way our services do?

"Self-citation, repeat publishing of the same data just changed a bit in presentation, shady analysis, P hacking ect. All because the lab system there for biology is like little fiefdoms and the primary currency is papers and citations."

For my type of chemistry, it is much harder to cheat and not get caught. Advanced statistics rarely apply, most labs can reproduce your results in a relatively short period of time, and sometimes do to get their own work done. The equipment needed is common enough.

A lab can quickly get a good or bad reputation.

Papers and citations are the currency of academia. Honesty, until recently, was assumed. Lately a much bigger problem everywhere.

"On May 4, 2023, Ukraine used a U.S.-supplied Patriot battery to down a Russian Kinzhal missile, which Russian President Vladimir Putin had announced in 2018 was a "hypersonic" weapon that could overcome all existing air defense systems."

Sounds like someone may have been guzzling too much Russian propaganda.

How old is the Patriot missile system? In service since 1984... 40 years?

LOL Did you see what Iran threw at Israel? Those weren't even fast.
www.aljazeera.com

The problem, you see is that China can saturate the carriers defenses, just like Iran did to Israel. F-14's were designed to shoot down Russian bombers before they could launch. The range of the F-14 was a deterrent.

Today the F-35, F-18 range?? Less, much less. Why? We all know why. They are built for multi-role, which is for operations where there is no fighting peer. In the South China Sea its a sitting duck.

Keep swinging.

#47 | Posted by oneironaut at 2025-09-05 07:47 PM

It's OK, FDT is bombing Venezuelan civilians in international waters, under the guise that they were drug smugglers (not even a capital crime), demonstrating the might of the US military in the face of these unimpressive Chinese weapons. He also very powerfully deployed the US National Guard to American cities, a show of strength to our enemies in these times where unity and collective pride are so important.

I know the MAGAdiots didn't see the press conference with the Epstein survivors, because Fox didn't air it, but those flyovers were also a great show of power for the USA, drowning out the voices of the survivors of childhood rape very strongly!

USA! USA!

Simplistic nonsense from somebody that gets maybe 25% of of facts right in a post.

Iran was shooting at an entire country. It cost them their entire air force, air defense system, nuclear program, and other assets.

You can't saturate anything unless you can target it. It takes an extensive kill chain to target a carrier and pass targeting data out of an electronically denied zone into a weapon system that's in an impenetrable ionic sheeth that can both use it and make a dent in a carrier.

I find it ironic... considering the Chinese were among the first to settle in the "New World" looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong... like 10-15k years... before Leif Erikson dragged his Northern-Euro-Viking hiney to Canada.

Yankees whine about technology being "stolen" as if they own the implementation of ideas.

It's like listening to children fighting over crayons.

The fact is... the lazy fairy capitalists handed China the technology because the US planned to ride on its current technological services and past military hubris.

Turns out the majority of White American Men are culturally incompatible with a career in professional services.

Because it requires professionalism, it often requires advanced knowledge, and it necessitates working collaboratively with brown people, women, and people who don't speak English as a first language.
