Beijing now has the power to disrupt global communications after scientists revealed a device that can sever undersea cables.

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.

        You need me to recap this exchange inception? Allow me.

        I injected myself in this as you made your opinion on how another person was racist torwards chinese in general, as they saw China, the country, as in the regime, as dangerous.

        You ascertained your moral high ground out of being well travelled and cultured, without ever addressing a single point of the other person’s argument. Your concern was their apparent racism under your higher morality.

        I opted by criticizing this position of your, by clearly stating why and how someone can loathe a country’s regime without having nothing against the people living there, adding in the process why I personally find America snd China’s regimes parallels, although ideologically opposite.

        Again, you chose reiterating I am wrong in my views but without addressing a single point of it, except for making vague hollow observations that add nothing to the conversation, not adding counter points of information. Twice.

        I’ve already deemed this a closed argument. I am doing it again. Be well, have a good one.

          I don’t wanna get in on the whole shouting match whether China bad or China good, but DicksAndPozza was pretty explicitly not talking about the regime, but the Chinese culture and people. Which is racist.

            And what I read and understood was a loathing for the regime and social practices by it enacted onto the general populatio ln and not a generalized hatred towards the average individual. I also found there was an exageration to their words, although crude, but every person has their way to convey emotion.

            There are better ways to confront people on their views than to start from insult.

            Did my replies come out as shouting? Damn. Not what I intended.

          “You need me to recap this exchange…?”

          nope, I did that for you a couple comments above.

          “as they saw China, the country, as in the regime, as dangerous”

          you are making things up. That is not what @[email protected] said.

          @[email protected] said:

          "I hate the culture”, “I hate Chinese culturue”, “fuck China”, “I hate the whole thing”

          The whole thing, sport. The people, the culture, the whole thing.

          After I pointed out this was racist, DP was quick to change his tune, and say he hated everything about China, specifically the culture, except the people.

          Hating culture or thinking one is superior to another is racism, especially when you know so little about the culture except the people who make it up.

          Quick def for you: “Cultural racism is a concept that has been applied to prejudices and discrimination based on cultural differences between ethnic or racial groups. This includes the idea that some cultures are superior to others”

          “Your concern was their apparent racism”

          Yeah, I don’t like racism so I call it out when it occurs. Usually it stems from ignorance, and they just have to be called out to be woken up.

          “criticizing this position of your,”

          not my position, you’re making this up.

          " personally find America snd China’s regimes parallels,"

          absolutely absurd, as I explained above. but it’s good you changed your tune to: “although ideologically opposite”, which is still incorrect but more open-minded.

          See, all I have to do is call you guys out and you start thinking more critically.

          “without addressing a single point of it”

          Which part do you want more help on? I have a lot of time and am free to continue correcting and educating you.

          “without addressing a single point of it”

          clearly not true, and you know it:

          “except for…”

          except for addressing every single point. With verifiable knowledge.

          “I’ve already deemed this a closed argument”

          Oh, clearly, it’s so closed you needed to write paragraphs rewriting yours and others’ comment history and reframing their racism.

          “Be well, have a good one.”

          Thanks, I’m having a GREAT one!
