China closing in on laser-propelled fast, stealth subs...China and US locked in underwater race to produce new generation of submarines driven by less-detectable propulsion technologies

Reminder that recently the Commander of these chi-com subs are described as “last in their class” in competency— for reasons that the subs are incredibly unstable and dangerous. Losing entire crews sort of things. So why invest in a top flight smart commander.

Speaks volumes to incompetency and true Communist leisure works.

The South China Morning Post (SCMP) is an official CCP news outlet. Believe or else.

yesterday we get electric spacecraft propultion

Its like the EmDrive - look it up.

[OHPatriot]

Big Deal !!! The Russians had a silent propulsion system installed on the Red October in 1990. We have had this technology for 34 years and it took the Chinese that long to FINALLY STEAL IT!!!!

They value education and don’t seem to be burdened with DEI.

—
Instead they are burdened with CCP-approved text books:

if its not in the book, don’t mention it, as it would be critical of the Party;

if its in the book, but doesn’t work, don’t mention, as it would be critical of the Party;

if it is in the book and does work, then the Party is right as always. All praise the Party!

[PIF]

They also use missile & vehicle fuel to heat their tea, leaving the tanks dry.

China wants everyone to believe they are some super duper country - that’s why they spend billion of USD every year to promote themselves and make you a believer.

[PIF]

The Japanese in WWII figured out how to use carriers pretty quickly.

—
So quickly that we sank all of them

Here we go with the "believe me, or you're a foreign stooge" bullshit again. So common on FR.

Nobody loves China, but we ignore reality at our peril. Washington DC neocons and their propagandists are absolutely blind with such fantasy, and they are dragging America down the toilet with them.

As my dad used to say:

Farting horses never tire
A farting man is the one to hire...

[GOPJ]

Gee, I wonder whom the Chicoms have been stealing (or bribing, or both) this technology from, for decades to create such highly advanced war machines? I wonder...

Look, our intelligence people are busy finding the all important 'middle class, middle aged, white Christian Conservative who uses words like 'Constitution'... YOU know, the 'real danger'...

Aside from that fact the Bidens got millions and diamonds to boot from China - did you know Biden's let tens of thousands of Chinese of military age INTO the country via the southern border the last three years?

Why sweat subs when you can preposition your army in a country run by fools?

Instead they are burdened with CCP-approved text books:

---

Yes, if China were unleashed from the CCP, no telling what they’d be capable of.

[hanamizu]

So quickly that we sank all of them

---

They did manage to sink some of ours though. Midway certainly did a number on them. Later their carriers’ problem was the lack of experienced aircrew.

Japan was stupid to mess with us since we had an overwhelming advantage in manufacturing. But today’s China?

The “you” was generic, not personal

Taiwan is also made up of ethnic Chinese, but while they are free of the CCP, nothing much happens there either.

Back in the old days, everything that was invented in China was done to please the Emperor.

True enough, but Taiwan doesn’t have the population or resources of the mainland. But there may well be a cultural factor with the Chinese that has kept them from unlocking their potential.

That said, they have come a long ways in the last forty years or so.

All of the old Chinese culture and its artifacts were destroyed during Mao’s Great Leap Backwards.

The culture they had is dead/gone/dust. All that remains is the much disparaged history.

Any experts know how loud super cavitation is? I’m thinking sonar would pick it up pretty easy.

Water on a lithium battery in a sub. The crew will die by fire or the gas

Sub Made of carbon fiber?..................
