China Buying US Directed Sound 'Weapon'
holy_calamity writes "The directed sound weapon made by US company ATC is being exported to the Chinese police, despite the public law banning sales of weapons to China. Turns out that such 'non-lethal' technologies are not covered by this law — an omission that may become more widely known if they are used to quell high-profile protests during the Olympics."
From everything I have seen lately, the vast majority of Chinese are very happy with their government at the moment, so I question the likelihood of any mass protests during the Olympics. I disagree they are all silently cowering in fear; rather, my impression is they're very happy with all their newfound wealth and growing power.
Pardon me, your brightness, but you might want to do just a tad bit of research regarding the distribution of that "wealth and power". You'll find (having lived and worked in China) as I did that it is almost entirely held by the communist elite. Unless you call working a mindless factory job for the equivalent of $10/mo. wealthy and or powerful. Oh, and don't forget that wealth-building beatings you'll be getting if your power isn't super enough on the lead-paint toy assembly line. God you're a jackass.
Is like protesting farts on the moon. It makes no sense. It is the Olympics, not 'China'. It just happens to be in China. Silly protesters need to back off and grow some pubes.
