I keep seeing people discount Chinese achievement because they 'steal' the tech. I don't think my country could pull this off even after stealing all the tech. It's quite an achievement. I hope this'll show people what's coming. China isn't rising anymore. They're rolling out of bed. The next century belongs to them

Honestly the USA would have issuez pulling it off today. After creating the tech taken from german desigbs over 50 years ago.

Lol. Visual impaired typing on a phone. I feel no shame in the odd typo.

But yep germany has a very long history of scilled engineering. Before and after Nazi control.

Predicting the next century seems a bit much. But I'm glad they are experiencing success, I hope we all benefit from their discoveries.
