Beijing now has the power to disrupt global communications after scientists revealed a device that can sever undersea cables.

The tool, which is able to cut lines at depths of up to 4,000 metres (13,123 feet) – twice the maximum operational range of existing subsea communication infrastructure – has been designed specifically for integration with China’s advanced crewed and uncrewed submersibles like the Fendouzhe, or Striver, and the Haidou series.

      It’s all good dude. The other people reading this realize you’re not a racist, and that other guy you’re arguing with is extremely narrow in his definition and unnecessarily combative over semantics, to the point of being anal-retentive.

          I haven’t deleted any of my comments. Why would I?

          I prefer confronting bigots and those with limited understanding and correcting their ignorance.

          You being racist is not “all good dude.”

          You changing your tune is not bad, though.

      You’re the only one frightened enough to be using personal insults.

      Saying an entire country sucks ass when all you know about it is the race of its people is racist.

      Hating cultures you don’t know anything about is racist.

      What you said is racist.

      I’m glad you’re changing your tune, but it doesn’t change your earlier racism.

      “…I know these things.”

      You are factually incorrect. you obviously know nothing about china if you think a huge swath of their workforce is useless.

      You don’t know things, you are ignorant of things.

      what you know: “I hate the culture”, “I hate Chinese culturue”, “fuck China”, “I hate the whole thing”

      Most of this is defined as “cultural racism” - "Cultural racism is a concept that has been applied to prejudices and discrimination based on cultural differences between ethnic or racial groups. This includes the idea that some cultures are superior to others "

      You said you hate all of it,which includes the 1.4 billion people, which is more conventional racism.

      You are racist and are saying racist insults. That’s who you are now, but you do not have to be stuck there.

      Now you are trying to change what you said, and claim you are not racist. That’s a good first step, really.
