I guess I was right in being suspicious of western urbanists who were always deafeningly silent on massive projects in China but won’t shut up for weeks about the Dutch king taking a bike-shaped shit. This is how they respond when they are forcibly confronted with the topic.
The stolen technology argument is one of the most popular masquerades of racism. I’m sure some nerd could point to some Soviet Intel stolen from Americans or whatever, but the idea that a country only created something because the west did it first is ludicrous. The laws of physics are the same regardless of nation. If you have a proposal for a project to do something, odds are two groups working completely independently will come up with strikingly similar looking designs, even if the inner workings are totally different. That doesn’t mean the design was stolen. The racism is literally “they wouldn’t be smart enough to do that without theft”, and this notion is accepted by even the furthest left liberals in the mainstream.
Right now, the furthest left mainstream liberals are sitting cozily next to Adolf Hitler.
Not to mention, due to population size, the raw number of scientists and engineers in China is gigantic. Same goes for Olympics etc. 1.4 billion people is an absurdly large pool to draw from.
