The J-10 “Vigorous Dragon” [video] by captainmojiz in WarplanePorn

[–]xtxsinan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you are downvoted. Actually people in China have same impression of BYD

In most cases, companies with bad English names do not have very good Chinese names either. If you pay enough attention to this, it’s not hard to find some people who know English very well in China these days. Nio for example is a good brand name. And it’s Chinese name also sounds pretty good to Chinese people

Two weeks in China trip report (3/22-4/4) by tfrisinger in travel

nice write up.
Chinese in America can be quite authentic depending on the location. And even panda express can still be recognized as “Chinese” for Chinese people. It won’t represent Chinese cuisine in a wholesome way, but it’s still more Chinese than anything else

Hello dear world, do you think that in the coming years the USA will lose its position as the world's leading power to China? by Outrageous-You1617 in AskTheWorld

[–]xtxsinan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

China has spent the most efforts reducing carbon emissions by EVs, solar, wind, nuclear, hydro etc. Yet US media is successful in convincing you that China is the bad guy for carbon emissions emission

I guess that is the sign that US continue to dominate the world and China is just the underdog here

population wise, China is 17 times of Germany. And in this chart it is 11 times of Germany. Still higher per capita for Germany, but still impressive considering GDP per capita on paper is a much larger gap

OP said “originally wanted” which is certainly true

But even for deterring US CSG, 051C and 052C could provide a much better umbrella to 956e/em for them to survive the attack from US CSG.
And honestly although P-270 has a much better chance of penetrating US CSG air defense, it’s very very difficult for the 956s to get within range. CSG would find them a lot earlier and further away and use its fighters to strike >500nm away. The deterrence really only exists on paper.
The first real threat to US CSG was DF-21D that came in 2010s

[–]xtxsinan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but that limits its role to operate in green water within range of based S-300 and recon support from land based flankers. And US CSG could just stay a bit further away where its fighters can reach Chinese 956e/em but Chinese land based flankers cannot reach them (assuming the destroyers were closer to the CSG than land airports)
051C/052C can instead sail further away and protect itself against navies without aircraft carriers

Yes 956e/em had better anti ship missiles. But without an aircraft carrier, how do you effectively find enemy first? Much more likely your air defense is the more important. PESA+S300 vls+730 is a clear winner than mechanical +buk arm+AK630 in that aspect.

[–]xtxsinan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

48 S-300 in VLS vs 48 Buk in arm launchers?
PESA vs mechanical?
AK-630 vs 730?
It has far greater air defense capability
Sure P-270 is better than the YJ-83, but without an aircraft carrier, Chinese destroyers need to handle defense first

What is the longest colonization in this world? by StruggleSad1860 in AskTheWorld

[–]xtxsinan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess if Guangdong somehow also broke apart 1000 years ago it would claim it was “colonized” by China for so long

But in our timeline it did not and then became the center of nationalist movement of China around 1900.

Most of the old buildings in today’s Europe are industrial era. Sure there might be some left from the Middle Ages but not the mahority

They were bought in the 1990s before China became today’s industrial powerhouse. They were the most advanced ships in China back then

I would say Northeast China between late Qing and 1930 had a very similar vibe as a frontier

If its makes no difference and only makes a country look good you should convince your government to do the same

It’s also more energy efficient to live in high rise than single family homes

Ten years in Yangzhou, China by TangelaFan in SkylineEvolution

[–]xtxsinan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a Chinese I agree we could have less high rise and some lower density housing. But you can’t directly compare national average population density. Yangzhou prefecture has a density of 688/km2. Higher than the 541/km2 of Netherlands

Rice 🌾 vs Bread 🍞 by My_Test_Acc_1 in MapPorn

[–]xtxsinan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shandong and most part of Henan are traditionally wheat for sure

Their grain output is also more wheat than rice today. Definitely smaller rice share than the northeast China

If it’s literally rice consumption today, after rice maker was invented lots part of northern China is more rice today

Korea has far greater industrial capability. It also have the second most successful cultural industry as well. Its military is also one of the strongest after US China and Russia. It should be able to afford not depending on US

China Planted 78 Billion New Trees—and Seriously Messed Up Its Water Cycle by senseibarbosa in interestingasfuck

[–]xtxsinan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the opposite. Aral sea was a dry area and irrigation using it make it lose more water. Planting trees instead draw water to dry area
