Don’t bother. Sugar is an actual communist. I’m not joking.

A real dyed in the wool communist. Thinks the Chinese Government and the Soviet Union were pretty rad.

Do today, eh? Look at their influence in Africa, South America and even places in Europe. You think those poor natives from Africa are making a great living in the mines and fields working for ChiCom?

Bet they would prefer Americans there but continue living in your bubble.

China wasn’t an international warmonger but that’s probably because they had tons of internal conflict. Some of the bloodiest wars in human history have been in China They also thought they were better then everyone else so no reason to focus on areas outside China. So it’s not because they were some pacifists.

Like the War of the Roses , Hundreds Years War, Napoleonic Wars , Thirty years war & constant upheaval in Europe? It didn't stop Europe from stealing Chinese technology to wage war on indigenous Americans , Indians , Asians, Africans , Middle East , etc...... The Chinese were certainly capable.

And? We’re talking about the modern day US and the PRC here. Not ancient China and Europe.


We could also talk about the dozens of Nation's America has invaded & 100's it has occupied/still occupy.

Typical Western thinking . Steal Chinese technology to wage wars of Imperialism / Colonialism throughout the world & thinking its a positive thing.

Once again, and? We’re talking about how incapable China is. For a country that tries to talk how much more of a power they are compared to the US, they aren’t even capable of launching a rocket properly. Even SpaceX does a far better job then they do.

Btw, I don’t agree with the US constantly meddling in other country’s affairs. Though China has been doing that to an extent the last few decades. It just has nothing to do with China’s ability to have a proper space program.

My point is you trying to make them out to be some pacifists as to why they didn’t use that tech. It’s funny how you had to reach that far back to try to China to be better.

Wasn’t this for their space station. That’s interesting. I think we are decommissioning our space station in 2024

Might want to check your history. The Chinese used gunpowder for their “rockets” and after centuries never improved the technology. Modern day rocketry uses liquid oxygen, which was developed by Robert Goddard, an American. The Germans used his research to develop the V-2.

Didn't have the ability. They would have tried if they thought they could.
