I think there may be some in some things, it is the fact the activation is the issue without trashing everyone. I saw a program where they were talking about a dutch company that sold wind generator controllers, very high tech and efficient, and within 1 year, there was a Chinese knock off on the world market. Despite their complaints, 3 years later, they had not gotten one country to either certify they were knockoffs and illegal, or force a licensing fee from the Chinese company.

Indeed. It resulted in the greatest transfer of wealth since Genghis Khan. Unfortunately, to an enemy.

Well, I didn't expect any good to come of it when Nixon "normalized" relations with them in 1971.

Am I a dreamer or paranoid to think (hope) that there are “fail safes” and other Trojan horses hidden in software and hardware that can be activated when necessary to destroy the technology when in the wrong hands; or just use the tech to monitor us all.

I guess off the cuff, quick programmed flights are too hard, unless they can steal all the flight data from someone else...Maybe that is why they are having this issue, if they stole all of SkyLabs data, that is what happened to it...

Hummm. maybe "targeted"?

Indeed, Doc, it is ALWAYS Trumps fault. Although I found this to be humorous:

Pelosi had time to judge drag queens but is too busy to meet with Trump. This is like a greek play.....

The Red Chinese should send up a crew to either attach a booster rocket or a bomb.

Brilliant minds do often travel similar mental paths...

Hmm, maybe it will "accidently" land in NoKo?

From reading the article, the guesses as to where it will hit are very imprecise. As usual the native presstitutes are engaging in trying to panic the masses. If it hits the U.S., the American Democrats and media will undoubtedly blame it on Trump.

Me dino hopes that tribute to Chinese technology fails to hurt anyone but my dangerous dino mind has just contemplated the irony of a Chinese restaurant being flattened in, say, Copenhagen.

They are indeed, although once they steal a technology, they generally can duplicate it. However, their rise has been based solely on intellectual theft, many, many of their weapons are direct knockoffs from spying.

And people want to claim that the Chinese are engineers. No. They are intellectual property thieves. If it does hit anywhere populated, it's going to give the entire world the excuse to take a hard stance against them.

Seems like it, there was also an article about China wanting to use a large laser to scour out space junk, but I am pretty sure this would defeat whatever they had in mind....

Where is SuperMan when you need him?!

Might be a job for Space X...snare that bugger in a net and hurl it at North Korea.

So much for Chinese technological prowess.

I actually think that this kind of event will happen more and more. Our weakened shields will lay bare any protection from CME's and Cosmic radiation on our satellites.
