There are only two acceptable ways to write about Chinese trains. Either spin it to somehow be bad, or just don’t provide necessary context and instead write falsities. And Chinese news often does the latter.

It’s true, China doesn’t have rockets. The Tiangong space station was launched into space purely with the concussive force of Xi Jinping fucking your mom.

They’re copying the NASA model where they thinly mask their military research as science, but you’re not smart enough to see that.

If they were copying the NASA model they’d hand 1960s tech to an oligarch and defund their space programme.

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
