Drone Mothership Jiu Tian completes its 1st maiden flight.
The China Thread
- Thread starter God's lonely asperger
- Start date
Does anyone know if the USA has anything that compares to this?
The US now produces the LUCAS, a copy of the pictured drones, which were based on the low-cost Iranian $25k Shahed drones, but there is no drone carier platform like that Chinese one yet.
According to a source I trust, the drastic nature Shanghai lockdown might have been in good part a reflection of the city's political and economic rivalry with Beijing and the central government. It's also a rivalry that played out within the CCP itself between the current leadership and the "Shanghai clique", which was largely neutralized.
Shanghai was ground zero for the neoliberal globalist-aligned political faction, which was purged in the 2010s, and leaders like Bo Xilai sidelined.
Multiple travel videos and testimonies from many sources and many parts of China. This is like the parcel pick up system, which you kind of dismissed as something that occurs during the holidays but is in fact pretty universal in China today.
You should apply the same kind of scrutiny when viewing or posting sources like serpentza, whose whole schtick is based on making sweeping generalizations from cherrypicked and often outdated video takes.

First encounter, the car becomes aggravated by the cyclist and must have circled back to get his revenge.

The driver hits the cyclist, drags him a good ways, and then repeatedly runs him over as is the Chinese technique of "it's better to hit and kill than to hit and injure."

Police report said:
This is very similar to the 2010 Li Gang Incident, where the 22 y.o. son of the chief of police was drunk and hit two university students on campus, killing one of them, and then defiantly telling them on camera, "Sue me if you dare! I am the son of Li Gang!"
These kinds of outrageous, cold-blooded vehicular murders were in the news regularly when I lived there and now, in 2025, there is an attempted murder of the same type, while other mass vehicular murders of children, revenge killings against society, have become more and more frequent in the past several years.
High trust society? Don't think so, especially when you see the long timeline. So now packages can be left out by delivery men? You can leave your keys in your moped in the nice neighborhoods? Great, but groups of children are getting mowed down by disgruntled middle-class people taking revenge on society.
In 2013 a local official ran over and murdered the baby of a family who violated the one-child policy.

I don’t think it will achieve that much but it’s at least a step in the right direction. At least the Chinese government is trying to fight feminism and female delusion unlike western
Governments who still promote it.
All the years I was there, we would see very limited police actions and new govt policies against feminism and then the next week something supporting feminism. It seemed to be a fringe area of Chinese concern against any political organizing that they would react to inconsistently.
For example, back in 2014 where I lived in Guangzhou, some girls tried to do a femen type topless protest and got arrested, but very soon afterward there was some kind of affirmation from Beijing that LGBTQ was okay.
I suppose the law making it slightly more difficult to get a divorce looks like it could be something, but you never know how that's going to be enforced throughout the country.
All that said, there has been consistent enforcement of rules regarding entertainment content, especially since Xi 2015, such as the annual quota on foreign movies, rules against content, like no time travel (it's something!), so maybe if the parameters on chick's dramas falls under this umbrella it will actually happen.
Stay on topic. Nothing wrong with a little digression here and there, but not when it's longer than the on-topic part of the post.
Trump would bring this up at every rally, bemoaning that one Chinese shipyard launches more vessels than the US as a whole, a search said the US worker gets $60 an hour, his counterpart 36 yuan, with total costs of production probably many times lower, the Chinese must also be more efficient- really working when at work, more gets done in the same amount of time, American unions like to take their time.
Intrigued by the picture I thought he was Hindu, I saw the four arm (chaturbhuja)* form, so I clicked on this homie's username, he's got to be the biggest die-hard fan of the western world.
* The coveted superpowers which Greeks imagined and attributed to their gods were mostly maximized human qualities- intelligence, strength, beauty, talent. Aromatic Hindu deities needed multiple arms to keep all the flies at bay.
Nothing can escape his notice and understanding, the whole of geopolitics at his fingertips, dude comprehends the world like it was his oyster, he can almost pick it up for a closer look. He likes old leftist tropes:
It's not like the Abos kept stealing anything that lay about unattended like a stick in the bush, not understanding the concept of property ownership, or harassed white women.
Russia's Red Army (not soviet, credit where due) destroys the Nazis. This staged photo had to be altered as corporal 'give me the watch' (davay chasy) had more than one on his arm.
I skipped through the above. Drivers are often changing lanes while going through an intersection, scooters on busy roadways dodging cars
No shoulders or closed- metal barriers, bollards to prevent crossing or parking. Dome cameras watching the sidewalk visible every 5 seconds while driving slowly, try to steal a scooter if you dare- Chinese police beat you, American police are gentlemen- one Chinese gentleman in the US commenting on the Floyd situation. Traffic light pole arms come with dedicated cameras watching every lane.
Shiny new city, serves its purpose, could go into the brutalist architecture thread, I find European city street videos from a hundred years ago more delightful.
Clothing stall has a barker:
Youtube suggestion, looked interesting, I hope the Chinese build a tourist lift to the summit of Mt. Everest, with pressurized amenities, in my lifetime.
Enjoying the view in stormy weather with a cup of warm tea and a cake, during a lightning storm at night would be nice:

When my wife and I took a trip to Changsha last month, we found a night market similar to the video but focused on street food and just a couple blocks nearby, a modern 24-hour bathhouse spa to relax for the evening and sleep overnight. I'm sure there are naughty ones but don't ask me as I simply don't know
.What you would expect from a 24H SPA:
Personal travel tip in my last 2 years of exploring the Mainland is to identify a 24-hour bathhouse in every city you go to, you never know when you'll have a rough day traveling and they are as cheap as hotel accommodations and it is normal to bring a whole family with kids. Weekends can get crowded though and sometimes the staff could be overwhelmed.
A couple hours away from Changsha, we went to Zhangjiajie which I think you would appreciate.

Changs have a habit of posing as Japanese to rile up foreigners against the Japs, which in their mind will translate to goodwill for China and the Chinese. This is legit how one-ply their thinking is, result of stifling any type of critical thinking skills from kindergarten age onwards. Unfortunately for them this shtick has been exposed many times already, and anyone acquainted with both Japanese and Chinese would pick the former over the latter in a heartbeat. Ask anyone in the tourist tranche of any given country.
Careful with petfood produced in China, US FDA has issued several warnings over the years already yet the custom of intentionally tainting products for pet and human alike is still as widespread as ever - as long as the envelopes roll everything goes in high trust China. Video below is recent and shows high quantities of cardboard getting mixed in with cat food. Beware.
^Literally that meme...
In WW2-era propaganda films, the roles were reversed, with the Japs being the vile enemies, and the Chinese the good friendly Asians...
It happened again, seething Chang impersonates a Jap (which he hates) to access and steal foreign properties. And not a single word of gratitude for the Western academics saving and preserving Chinese history on the taxpayers dime, per usual it's only incessant CCP fueled victimhood and 'muh colonialism bad' rhetorics which are increasingly unrecognizable from your average Antifa stormtrooper.
The type of antics shown below are incredibly common, CCP goons all over the world are employed to bully, track, surveill and gangstalk Chinese dissidents and citizens overseas alike, throw tantrums whenever necessary, obstruct and incriminate foreign critics and lead on CCP United Front Works infiltration operations abroad. Serpentza already mentioned this in video linked above, local Confucius Institute employees would show up to trash his talk (few dozen attendees) at a US university and take notes of Chinese students attending.
These subversives per usual operate from Chinese Embassies, Confucius Institutes, CCP cells in your local Chinatown/university/casino, and even lowkey OK'd Chinese police stations in more than a few countries. They have bought and wormed themselves into every layer of politics and are increasingly blunt and open about it. It's a massive problem.

While there's nothing wrong with posting some influencer's videos on China and commenting their content, clogging this thread with arguments about their personal lives is.
I moved Your posts to the recently created "influencer compendium" thread where You can dissect their lives as much as You want to.

Some Chinese official having a hissy fit in a Paris salon is your proof that the Chinese government has "bought and wormed itself into every layer of politics"??
