Similarities, but not parallels by a long stretch in my opinion, for one thing China doesn't have a family that runs this country and power changes hands every 10 years. I was too young to understand the tiananmen square events then, but I'm now friends with some people who were students...

Is the 2nd pic just for comparison purpose? Cos it has a massive northrop grumman sign on it :-)

Chinautumn, what happened to the dude on your avatar in the end??

Hahahaha, this is freaking funny...

The missile cannot operate as a stand alone weapon, it needs dedicated support from a range of sensors (satellites, UAVs or even possibly underwater sensors etc), it's questionable that China has the capability at this stage to cover its own maritime borders, let alone sticking it on a carrier...

Alright this will be my last reply on this topic as it is getting evidently pointless. First of all as it has been mentioned before, this rudder movement could be part of the brake control, without knowing exactly what the pilot was trying to do we are all speculating here -- he could simply...

A mere guarantee is not enough, the US has to withdraw its troops from SK first before it can ask China to not to support NK. It's nearly 60 years since the korean war is over, and the chinese have long withdrawn any presence in NK, why aren't the Americans doing the same? If China stops...

Yep, and I don't think it just works, I think it works beautifully :partay: from that video at 1:10 you can tell when the pilot was trying to steer the aircraft multiple times to his left.

Nicely done but still it talks too much of nothing, basically it just tries to say that the US doesn't need to kill off/threaten all its opposers, just properly look after and manage well what is in your own borders then you will enjoy prosperity for a long time to come. If I may say so -- this...

Agreed that the higher the flow speed the more obvious of the effects from the asymmetrical rudder displacement. Just a speculation here, maybe the designer re-used the same (modularized) logic to control the rudder movement for doing turns on the ground or in the air (with additional code...

Yes, having symmetrical rudder displacement during flight makes sense because it increases the downward moment through air flow at the rear of the jet, so it helps the jet to raise its head for climbs or up turns etc. But it also makes sense to have asymmetrical rudder displacement to on the...

Are we still talking about j-20's inward twisted rudder here and whether it is a software related issue? One member pointed it out a couple of days ago that on the ground it might be used for braking purposes, this seems to be echoed by guys from some other forums, someone also suggested that...

Oh yeah, the Iraq war costed the US quite dearly and set back its international image so China wouldn't complain on that front, but China doesn't need to be thankful for the US invasion though -- if you do business with cash and no questions asked, I don't think Sadam's government would have had...

A completely pointless thread, why is it not deleted by the mods?

Oh he isn't that bad, can't be any worse than Jiang any ways, and Hu is too boring.

Been up and down the country for a few years now, mostly in london though - the brightest spark of uk imo :-)

My friend, I think you might have read one too many anti china propagandas, :-) this idea that 1.3 billion people are just like simple minded "automators", with a master government head pulling everyone's strings :-), it would make a great film though! I suggest you go to china to take a look...

About this risk thing I'm afraid you are over generalizing, as long as there is adequate risk/reward ratio people will take their chances, many private entrepreneurs in china are some of the most reckless guys I've met, this is not a trait of a one particular country, rather it is a trait of a...

Hmmm that might be the case for a generic mp3 player, you tell the manufacturer how big the display an flash memory should be and they can make one for you, but for something like a macbook pro it is apple who designs it and comes up with the intellectual capital, this is not something that any...

Wow that's a bit too strong my friend, Russia still has a very strong education system and has produced many world leading scientists, I'm just saying, give respect where it is due.:D
