    Is Reuters saying that it’s a bad thing for a country to protect it’s nuclear silos so bad actors don’t blow them up? What’s so nefarious about a country protecting nuclear silos?

    I think it’s more telling that they feel the need to do it because it seems that the US and Israel haven’t shied away from hitting nuclear facilities (aka war crimes).

    If this is being reported as unexpected then there is something desperately wrong with our intelligence, what else are the Chinese doing, building roads and schools near their houses?

      Quantum communication satellites. Enough renewable energy to power the entire USA. Massive strategic petroleum reserve. Thorium power plants.

      Just the usual.

        Slow close toilet seats are fairly standard there too.

        To be fair I think most of the complaints against China are identical to those being made against AI. We wanted them to have our motivations but we did not see how corrupt those motivations could be until they were reflected back by something that was not us.

      This is a concerning report. They’re trying to manufacture approval for bombing.
