Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’
Binette@lemmy.ml 11 months agoscrolled past and saw one for almost every subthread.
Post about western achievements are often taken as granted (except maybe curing cancer), while eastern ones are scrutinised to the smallest of details.
Not Eastern ones, Chinese specifically. Japanese or Korean science is generally trusted, but dictatorships have a tendency of making shit up to look better. We’ll believe it when we see it.
China has plenty of achievements, but also plenty of bullshit vaporware. We’ll see which one this is.
Show me any post about any technological advance that doesn’t have critical comments in the thread.

You don’t suppose there might be reason people don’t trust the news coming from a country with no freedom of speech or press?

Yeah yeah, “you can’t believe it until Rupert Murdoch and Elon Musk confirm it”
