China Systematically Developing New Technologies
newsblaze writes "China, having recognized there are major gaps in its science and technology arsenal, released their Technology Development Plans. The plans cover five main areas — geology, mechanical engineering, metallurgical engineering and aeronautical engineering. Three areas are prioritized in space technology and six major goals are announced.
All this comes after having first set out their 100 Year Vision of Greatness.
They appear to be giving themselves a breathing space, telling the world they are interested in cooperation and also giving themselves a major target, in much the same way as John F Kennedy did for the USA."
China Systematically Stealing New Technologies
And I don't care if you mod me down! Damn the man!
The cancel button is your friend. Do not hesitate to use it.
China is in the process of reverse engineering, embracing and extending, and using purchased technology to come up to par with the rest of the world.
"New" technologies are a bit of a stretch.
When I worked at Cymer and Lam Research, we had tons of Chinese engineers and scientists who, although not stated, were placed in U.S. corporations for what amounted to industrial espionage. Well, espionage by cooperation for those that weren't out-right spies.
Yes, the Chinese are advancing, but "new" is a strong term. Maybe "new for them"?
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong fix.
The major difference between china and the US is that China sends anybody to a place to guitanamo while the US only send brown people. I guess it makes China more equal opportunity? That and the government in modern china tend to be less invasive of it's average citizens life then the US governments. China has no high ground to stand on but the US is slowly slipping down to the same level.

HAHA! you see we have a charter as well. Darwinian theory will be replaced by Intelligent design. Eliminate Science and Engineering from Schools and teach theology. Attack another little known country and claim to get freedom for them.
