This feels really dumb from China. This is not a weapon against military. This is a weapon against civilian insfrastructure. You don't get minds and hearts of people by attacking something they love
No shit, lol. Those cunts have been cutting cables for almost a year now. This is why countries tend to hide the exact locations of cables. Shit is expensive.
"That could reset the world order"
Lmao, what hyperbolic bullshit. It's just a cable cutter. Most nations have shit like this, but thanks for letting us know in the title this is just Chinese propaganda.
It will shift the orders from cables to starlink. Not the best idea tho, it sucks ass
Just wait! Then they’ll start flooding space with mini satellites. Then they’ll start dogfighting with them. :)
DOGEfighting
That country fucking sucks ass.
they're also experimenting with dogfighting satellites
That country fucking sucks major ass. Space lasers when?
We literally have starlink and the US run by fascists with nukes. I don't mind seeing other countries that they threaten ready to combat their information systems.
Yeah, but that’s only as long as they target the US with their bullshit. Dictatorships don’t exactly have a history of stopping after „defeating“ their enemy. They’ll find new ones (spoiler it’s gonna be Europe).

china is pretty cool.
xi has been a harmful influence.
I disagree. China is a scary place with face recognition and all that shit. I wouldn’t ever travel there. If my job sent me there, I would rather quit than travel to china.
Fuck china. Also Chinese culture in general is pretty unappealing to me, who is used to a free life without all these stupid and arbitrary „rules“ like having to be married or else you’re worthless and all that crap.
Also their factories have grids in front of windows so workers can’t kill themselves by jumping out. Tells me all I need to know.
I hate the whole thing, not just the government.
But please note that I do not blanket hate all Chinese people though.
Yeah man zero AI facial recognition tech in the USA that stuff is only for the evil Chinese. Listen to yourself you propagandized idiot
"I disagree"
I'mthen you're objectively wrong, as you are disagreeing with facts.
"China is a scary place"
like the US.
"with face recognition and all that shit."
like the US.
"I wouldn’t ever travel there."
good, they don't need your racism you would be an embarrassment.
"If my job sent me there, I would rather quit than travel to china. "
small favors.
". Also Chinese culture in general is pretty unappealing to me"
you obviously know nothing about Chinese culture, and are obviously very racist.
"who is used to a free life...."
houoooo
which "free" country are you from?
"I hate the whole thing, not just the government.
But please note that I do not blanket hate all Chinese people though. "
this is going to shock you, bigot, but all Chinese people are "the whole thing" that you are insulting, despite your racist tantrum being born out of obvious ignorance.
Someone is very butthurt. Probably Chinese, by chance?
You keep saying „like the US“ as if that was an argument at all lol. Yes. Like the US. Both are authoritarian shitholes.
"Someone is very butthurt. Probably Chinese, by chance?"
nope, just smart,well-traveled and knowledgeable.
and.... not a racist like you!
I followed the thread just to see where it landed and I was not disappointed.
And for a well travelled and knowleadgeable person, you give off a very narrow view.
So, in one corner, we have an authoritarian regime, well established, known for violently suppressing minorities and heavilly surveill the citizens, take over territories, and constantly menace and threaten others, while thriving by manipulating money flow world wide and internally using slave work to run their industries.
On the other, we have the exact same thing, but flag and language changes. And classical political quadrant.
You can loathe a regime and have nothing against the people underneath it. Chinese were lead into an authoritarian regime through force, Americans were subtly led to the same through fear. The original premise: a land of freedom, for the people.
If we can not agree both countries are, essentially, the same, then one of us is refusing to aknowledge facts, willingly.

I literally said that I don’t hate Chinese people, I hate the culture. That is not racist to hate „work to death“ and „be worthless unless you reach a certain social status“ etc.
I’m sure there a nice aspects. But most of the culture seems forced and cruel. It’s all dependent on social status and that’s kinda sad. I hate that. I would hate it anywhere, not just in china. I would hate it in my country too. So how is this possibly racist? Some cultures are just worse than others.
"I literally said that I don’t hate Chinese people, I hate the culture"
-
hating a culture, especially when you don't know anything about except the race of the people who make that culture, is racist.
-
what you actually said is:
"That country fucking sucks ass."
these are your new arguments:
"That is not racist to hate „work to death“ and „be worthless unless you reach a certain social status“ etc. "
nobody said that was racist, because you haven't said those before.
what is racist is you not liking Chinese people and their culture for no reason other than their race.
I am glad you are changing your position.
"I’m sure there a nice aspects."
there are many.
"But most of the culture seems forced and cruel."
this is a statement born of ignorance, you can't draw this conclusion because you obviously don't know anything about the culture.
as seen here:
"It’s all dependent on social status and that’s kinda sad."
this is incorrect, stop drawing racist conclusions based on your assumptions and ignorance.
"how is this possibly racist?"
what is racist is you not liking Chinese people and their culture for no reason other than their race.
to the point that you will vehemently insult an entire country, including its people, despite not knowing what you're talking about.

If I had that type of technology I would not advertise it
A doomsday device is useless if no one knows you have it.
"why didn't you tell the world, eh?"
For me it's quite the opposite. It's all about power projection in the grand scheme of things.
If only cables can be designed to pull down ships that try to cut or anchor drag them. Maybe defensive cable around the main cable. Or some kind bigger of casing/shell around actual cable.

Me resetting the world order:
I can have 2 million of these tomorrow! Who's biting?
...as reported by the South China Morning Post lol
Historically they were a solid paper, based out of Hong Kong. It’s a toss up these days though, not sure.

This is why we can't have nice things.
Let me guess, they already tested it
This could have been a The Onion title
Reset the world order by sending everybody including China back to stone age right? That’d be fun.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
