re: #113 Bagua

Orbiting the moon, putting a man in space, ICBMs, nuclear submarines and power plants, amounts to a bit more that “copying Western tech”.

Given that those things were all done by the West first, I’m not sure how you feel that proves your point. China has innovated in a lot of engineering areas, but not really in what you’ve mentioned, no.

The same is true about Russia, while there is no question the US and the Western world is the leader in technology, research and innovation, it is not true that China and Russia lack technology of their own.

Good thing I didn’t say they lacked technology, then, isn’t it? I’m talking about hard science.
