completed agreed. remember the 80's when several of our major projects such as Y-10 and supercomputer got scrapped because some incompetent political leaders believed the West was the best. 用市场换技术这种谬论就是那时候出来的,结果与我们同时起步的空客却成为了傲视群雄的航空巨头,而我们却沦落为航空技术进口国。要不是西方的武器禁运迫使我们发展自己的技术,谁知道还有多少”市场“被用来换取别人掌控的”技术“?!
Same thing is happening now with the civilian nuclear industry. China basically has dismantled its entire nuclear power-generation R&D program in favor of foreign designs. We're one of the earliest nuclear powers in the world and now our civilian nuclear technology is behind even that of India.
Just early this week the former Chairman of China National Nuclear Corporation was sentenced to life imprisonment. Officially it's for a 6 million Yuan corruption case but people works in the industry think he is actually a French spy. Under his leadership China National Nuclear Corporation cut almost all funding to Chinese indigenous civilian nuclear R&D in favor of 'cooperation' with foreign suppliers.
I don't even dare to imagine the harm that's going to be done to China if the U.S and EU lift their arms embargo. Earlier some officers in PLAAF were advocating importing more SU-30s from Russia. Later they're founded to be on the pay roll of the Russians and were executed. Can you imagine what will happen if France, the master of arms trade bribery, is allowed to do business with China?
Going back to the case of civilian nuclear program, India overtook China because they were under sanctions for their nuclear tests and we can 'cooperate' with the West on civilian nuclear projects.
But don't worry. Thanks to Mr.Bush now Western suppilers will have the chance to 'cooperate' with India and destroy India's own nuclear industry.
Maybe the best thing China can do is to execute Liu Xiaobo and get the West to ban all arms sales to China for the rest of the life of the universe, and get them to ban all civilian nuclear cooperations with China too!
