yogthos OP , 4 months ago to technology in China plans to build a giant rail gun to launch hypersonic planes into space

This is a common narrative in US and Canada, meanwhile countries like France or Japan are dismissed as being small. Here’s an example for you scientificamerican.com/…/why-high-speed-bullet-tr…

The US definitely has the greatest advantage in spreading disinformation but in terms of who does it to the greatest scale would probably be Russia.

How to say you’ve been brainwashed by US propaganda without saying you’ve been brainwashed by US propaganda. 😂

This is literally what people said about high speed rail. The argument was that this is simply not cost effective and that’s why it can’t be built. Yet, China covered the whole country with HSR in a decade. Short term cost effectiveness isn’t really an issue when you have a state directed economy. And costs for any new technology come down over time. Maybe China will start using it for ground based transportation first, and then start using it for other applications. We’ll just wait and see.

Precisely how I feel when Americans bleat about Russiagate incidentally.

I’ve literally addressed this already above. Your links are not showing that home ownership is falling off, they’re showing that people are buying less homes now. Which is something you’d expect to be the case when most people already own a home. The only people buying homes now are the ones investing in them as secondary properties. It’s incredible that you can’t wrap your head around this.

That doesn’t show anything to support your argument. It just shows that people aren’t seeing real estate as a good investment vehicle.

I’m simply pointing out that while all countries obviously try to spread their influence, US enjoys a massive advantage in that regard. Saying yeah everybody does this creates a false equivalence between the sheer scale of US propaganda compared to other countries.

yogthos OP , 4 months ago (edited 4 months ago) to worldnews in Trump launched CIA covert influence operation against China, this operation was continued by Biden

I’m saying that US enjoys disproportionate advantage in the propaganda space because US media dominates in most of the world. This is a well documented fact, and there are entire books written on this subject.

yogthos OP , 4 months ago to technology in China plans to build a giant rail gun to launch hypersonic planes into space

This tech can be used for both purposes, but most of the article discusses transportation. Once China puts this tech in production, I’m sure it will be used for orbital launches as well.

yogthos OP , 4 months ago to technology in China plans to build a giant rail gun to launch hypersonic planes into space

But the goal isn’t to stay in orbit. The goal is to push the plane to upper atmosphere where there is low air resistance, and then it mostly glides to where it needs to go. The article very clearly explains that the goal is to create an alternative to long range flights instead of doing space launches. I’m also familiar with SpinLaunch, and it’s a completely different purpose where they want to launch small satellites into low Earth orbit.

US is the one country that dominates global media though.

I guess we’ll see won’t we.

Are you suggesting that the rate of home ownership in China has changed in any substantial way in the past 7 years. If so please do provide citations to support your claims. Otherwise, feel free to go trolling in a different thread lmao.
