China unveils a powerful deep-sea cable cutter that could reset the world order
China unveils a powerful deep-sea cable cutter that could reset the world order
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.

I literally said that I don’t hate Chinese people, I hate the culture. That is not racist to hate „work to death“ and „be worthless unless you reach a certain social status“ etc.
I’m sure there a nice aspects. But most of the culture seems forced and cruel. It’s all dependent on social status and that’s kinda sad. I hate that. I would hate it anywhere, not just in china. I would hate it in my country too. So how is this possibly racist? Some cultures are just worse than others.
"I literally said that I don’t hate Chinese people, I hate the culture"
-
hating a culture, especially when you don't know anything about except the race of the people who make that culture, is racist.
-
what you actually said is:
"That country fucking sucks ass."
these are your new arguments:
"That is not racist to hate „work to death“ and „be worthless unless you reach a certain social status“ etc. "
nobody said that was racist, because you haven't said those before.
what is racist is you not liking Chinese people and their culture for no reason other than their race.
I am glad you are changing your position.
"I’m sure there a nice aspects."
there are many.
"But most of the culture seems forced and cruel."
this is a statement born of ignorance, you can't draw this conclusion because you obviously don't know anything about the culture.
as seen here:
"It’s all dependent on social status and that’s kinda sad."
this is incorrect, stop drawing racist conclusions based on your assumptions and ignorance.
"how is this possibly racist?"
what is racist is you not liking Chinese people and their culture for no reason other than their race.
to the point that you will vehemently insult an entire country, including its people, despite not knowing what you're talking about.
Tbh I’m gonna ignore you now. Call me a pussy but I’m tired of having my words twisted. I can hate the country. It’s not racist. It would be racist if I hate the people. But I don’t. I hate the culture and you say I don’t know anything about it, even though I just stated things that I know about it. I never mentioned the race. I mentioned „work to death“ to the point where there are grids in front of windows so people can’t jump. And I mentioned social status. What worth does an unmarried 34 year old man have in china? Exactly. Close to none. I know these things. Stop denying the truth.
And lastly FUCK YOU for repeatedly calling me a racist. You’re a fucking idiot if you think that. I clearly and obviously stated that I hate the culture, not the people. And I will say it again. I don’t hate Chinese people. I hate their culture and their government.
Kill me for it. I’m done with this useless discussion.
It's all good dude. The other people reading this realize you're not a racist, and that other guy you're arguing with is extremely narrow in his definition and unnecessarily combative over semantics, to the point of being anal-retentive.
Thank you. I was starting to question myself but seriously couldn’t see anything wrong.
Also your description of this person is very polite. I would have just called them a fucking asshole.
Edit: I love how the person I replied to deleted all of their comments. Says a lot.
I haven't deleted any of my comments. Why would I?
I prefer confronting bigots and those with limited understanding and correcting their ignorance.
You being racist is not "all good dude."
You changing your tune is not bad, though.
You're the only one frightened enough to be using personal insults.
Saying an entire country sucks ass when all you know about it is the race of its people is racist.
Hating cultures you don't know anything about is racist.
What you said is racist.
I'm glad you're changing your tune, but it doesn't change your earlier racism.
"...I know these things."
You are factually incorrect. you obviously know nothing about china if you think a huge swath of their workforce is useless.
You don't know things, you are ignorant of things.
what you know: "I hate the culture", "I hate Chinese culturue", "fuck China", "I hate the whole thing"
Most of this is defined as "cultural racism" - "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 "
You said you hate all of it,which includes the 1.4 billion people, which is more conventional racism.
You are racist and are saying racist insults. That's who you are now, but you do not have to be stuck there.
Now you are trying to change what you said, and claim you are not racist. That's a good first step, really.
