    I am an American, that’s what I mean about oil refinement silly pants.

    The battery stuff is important for understanding China’s going to be the leader in directed energy weapons use in actual warfare. They already have truck-mounted platforms that swivel like pan tilt and zoom cameras.

    They are not “stealing tech” lmao we don’t have their metallurgy or automation capabiities now. It’s no longer just a scale issue

    Most of those stories are guys whining about agreements they signed, but now regret. Tough shit. Tech transfers happen. Soon China will be the leader in sub 5 nanometer chip foundries, give it a few decades
