Delivar: It seems you had half baked education. Did the US steal the Gernan Scientists or put knife to his neck? Lol.America that was supporting the British with arms in World War 2 did not have money? America that rebuilt Germany and Japan after World War 2 did not have money? Thunder fire your history teacher. |

Delivar: I am not trying to put down the Chinese but their main problem is they do not have any huge companies not owned by government or wwith government money in technology or Engineering like Siemens Pfizer Boeing Airbus The main technology I was even expecting to hear about was high speed rail which is big in China today though is a Japanese technology |

aribisala0:You mean naming Chinese products or naming Chinese inventions? There are numerous Chinese research centers and engineering firms engineering their own indigenous products. Just like the bridge in this thread was engineered by China. Or are you saying the U.S engineered the bridge for them? Like I said before, America still dominates the market in these fields that's why you don't hear those coming from China |

Delivar:I can see you have no rsponse and wish to change subject otherwise you won't be asking if the US built the bridge . What are we asking and what are you saying Name one Chinese Technology of the last 30 years or product just as we know the US for Intel, for Boeing for Countless drugs We know the Swiss for medicines We know the Germans for Siemens and their turbines . The Chinese are not really known for any modern technology or invention |

amanikondo:You didn't understand the sentence you read. I said the UK transferred their technology to America because the UK didn't have the resources to develop them during world war 2. I didn't say the U.S had no money. Of course the U.S stole German technology through the scientists they took in. |
Re: 34-miles Over The Ocean, China Set To Launch Worlds Longest Ocean Bridge(Photos) by amanikondo: 11:14pm On Jul 31, 2018 |
Delivar: The US did not steal. They attract the brain. Do you know soviet scientists are part of the people that are helping North Korea build nukes? When the Soviet Union fell apart, the right thing to do is to employ the scientists so that they will not work for rougue nations. American employed the German Scientists after World War 2. Steal is the word I am not accepting. If you come to the US universities today from Nigeria and you are a genius, the companies will do everything for you not to leave the US. That is the US system. Brain drain and pick the best. |

aribisala0:Your question wasn't clear so I was trying to get exactly what you were referring to. First of all you need to realize that China just started their journey about 40 years ago. The U.S has been an active player since the early 1900s. You can't expect China to dominate the market the U.S has been dominating for a long while before China decided to start competing in these areas. But the truth is that whatever the U.S is currently doing technologically China is pursuing the same thing as well. Whatever field of science and technology, China is currently an active player today. The reason we don't hear about Chinese version of Intel, Boeing etc is because these American engineering firms have been established long before China's own versions and are still widely dominating the world market. 1 Like |

amanikondo:Aside from "employing" German scientists, there is a long list of European technologies that were copied and refurbished by America. Do your research. |

Delivar:You need to realize that my comments were made in the context of the posts that I quoted. Some people were trying to suggest that China is the technological peer of the US . Not sure if that was you. Du not now what you mean by China starting theiir journey 40 years ago? Do you know when the Great Wall of China was built or when the Chinese started writing? This was before the Jews. The Chinese were once probably the most advanced nation and then they stagnated Now they have made much progresss but will struggle as long as the state is so dominant in the economy and there are no huge commercial concerns like GE, Siemens Pfizer in the private sector. The other thing is technology has grown in the West because of cooperation and technology sharing among mainly NATO nations that deliberately exclude nations like China and Russia who have to resort to espionage and technology theft |

aribisala0:Whatever it is it's obvious their method of state interference is working for them. When I said they started their journey about 40 years ago I mean the journey to compete with the west. Before then they were still in hibernation or stagnated as you called it. By now they are investing in every field of endeavour the west has been dominating for years. I believe in about 20 years time they should be totally dethroning the U.S. They will have the man power and large talent pool to make it happen which will eventually make them leave the U.S in dust in advances. |

shotuns: Japan is hungry for power, however they like Germany have been neutered by the free World (military restrictions and what not) owing to their history. It's interesting that current perception is that Japan's tech is superior to China. Well, that's true; but after WWII, Japan went through the same birth pains as China of the last three decades, where their tech lagged significantly behind US/Europe. They met and surpassed at least Europe, and even lead the developed world in select areas like robotics. The problem with China, at least IMHO, is the Party. True, it has been responsible for their rapid rise. But an authoritarian behemoth with 1.3b+ willing puppets that has already surpassed the US in GDP (by PPP) and could potential double their economic size is uncharted territory for the planet. Seriously look at their involvement in the Korean War, the Sino-Indian War, and the current South China Sea dispute and any student of history would get the chills. So as cool as their tech and economic rise has been, the fact that they are well on their way to becoming the de facto economic power (even military power as well, they are already laying the foundations of a projecting superpower) means that there could potentially be a fundamental shift in how the World is run. A power that can make billionaires disappear and does not recognize the lexicon called "human rights" is anything but good news. Sure the current World Order is not perfect and could use some tweaking, but a Red World Order could make this one (with all its issues) seem like Christmas in the future. -Lord |

aribisala0: Many people still did not know China stole High Speed rail technology from Japan. And they outbid Japan because they did not pay for Research and Development. Japan is one of the technology advanced countries in the world. |

How come they can't finish the Badagry Express Way? The construction has been going on for over 10 years with no end in sight. Talk about a nightmare.They sold us fake construction as usual while they keep the original stuff. Figures, you can't trust a China man. |

Delivar: Are you familiar with the concept of black book national security projects? If you assume that the United States does not have a quantum satellite despite leading in satellite, rocket launch, and quantum computing technology; then you are very delusional! China has only one way to approach any problem. Steal the IP, use their manufacturing prowess to replicate it quickly, then use more stolen IP to refine their creation. The FBI in a testimony to Congress stated that China currently runs the most vast, hard line, and ingrained espionage operation in the US. To be fair, I like many others would like the US to have competition; as they've misused their dominance more times than not. But China, at least as long as the CCP is still in charge, is anything but an ethical competition. They are just thieves everyone is scared to confront. You like to say the US stole from Britain, except that the US and GB had the same political outlook; and they used their advancements to foster the special Anglo-American special relationship. China is not and will never be America's friend, and when they start dominating unilaterally they'd have no friends, not even Russia. Everyone would have to submit to the CCP mutely like is the case in China today. -Lord |

justtoodark:90% of world nuclear war head are owned by US and Russia. The Chinese CANNOT defeat th US in any war fare, Never. US Marine ships are docked even on the so called South China sea, and all China does is throw tantrums, they should defeat India first, then Japan (remember Japan has no official army like they used have before the WW2) but the the that they have, that resembles an army is really strong and Xi jin Ping is well aware of that. Mind you North Korea is slipping out of China's grip. China is soooooo divided that getting chinese to fight against themselves is very easy. BTW China has no national army. The national army they have is actually the Taiwanese army. Yeah! That is true. |

LordAdam:I beg to disagree. The Nationalists were actually in power then, but Franklin Roosevelt and Marshal preferred to listen to the communists and even ENGAGED in propaganda in favour of the communists. |

dometome: The Nationalists were democratic. That should tell you all you need to know. Or are you trying to say the US tried to actively/intently favor the communist CCP over the democratic KMT (even though their democratic leanings was basically just lip service) in the largest country on the planet? To this day the US has been on the KMT's side (modern Taiwan). -Lord |
