Why don't they figure it out themselves instead of stealing??

They only keep acknowledging USA's massive superiority to China this way. Smh

The real problem is their reliability. China suffers from the same inadequacies of reliability that Russia suffers. Especially when it comes to military technology. While they may have fifth generation fighters they don’t have the quantity or the quality of component tree. They don’t do night carrier landings or aired air combat tactics like red flag. They also are a society build on constantly growing. They are essentially the same power as the Soviet union a giant military complex that requires that sums of money to maintain prosperity. In the long run they cannot compete with capitalism so the hope is they can starve out the west

Or just funnel money to politicians promising to cut Western investments and education.

Then pump money into social media propaganda (tik toc and others) to spread disinfo and division.

Seems pretty effective to me.

Because if they can -- at least temporarily -- achieve parity with the U.S., then their economic power can be used to destroy our economy and completely take over the world. It is their stated goal.

They don't have to be original, they don't have to come up with new technologies, they just have to steal them and use their economic base to make clones, and we will have done their work for them.

I have this theory that we're all building and doing the work for future AI if and when it becomes 'live' if it already isn't... At this point, I think AI will start working out the convoluted technical problems for various fields.

Why spend so much energy inventing the wheel if it already exists somewhere else. Try to copy the existing design and then maybe improve on it.

It honestly is the only smart thing to do
