re: #109 Obdicut
Nah. That’s engineering, copying Western tech.
They do not produce good front-rank science. Democracy really is needed to do good science on all fronts. China is fine on engineering, but it sucks at producing science.
So what if they are stealing Western technology? They are very good at it and they are allowed to get away with it.
I saw an article this morning that China is already the world’s largest producer of wind turbines and solar panels.
