    Ghaher 313 fighter

    It's not meant to be a true 5th generation fighter if at all. If a prototype comes out, and it is likely given the fact they've already produced a decent mockup, you'll see it'll be more of a cheap, subsonic, low altitude jet fighter with a similar role to the Su-25 or the German HE-162...

    China becomes world's No. 2 movie market

    Are mainland Chinese interested in Bollywood movies that have characters spontaneously rise up in song? I never liked Western musical movies much either, the old classics were fine though. Chinese movie-goers are becoming more savvy and like Hi-tech movies with good CG.

    Google shows China the white flag of surrender

    That's the sound of money, and falling stock prices. Coincidentally, Google CEO visits North Korea.

    China poses potential obstacle to reunification of Koreas: U.S. Congress re

    What China really desires is South Korean neutrality in Asia and of course, the withdrawal of American troops from the peninsula. China would prefer turning North Korea into an economic satellite and a buffer state, with its SOEs dominating the North Korean economy. This would be enticing for...

    China satellite navigation starts services to Asia

    The only statement I have made is that the government is able to track you using GPS. And tracking you through the use of GPS data is GPS tracking. The ease that law enforcement and the government can access such data is part of the concern. But thanks for clarifying your point.

    China satellite navigation starts services to Asia

    They can easily pull the GPS data from your phones from the carriers and service providers. Isn't that tracking? Logging your GPS location data and transmitting it through other means is still tracking no matter how you look at it. Unless you're arguing about semantics how it isn't GPS...

    China satellite navigation starts services to Asia

    The fact stands that the GPS/BDS systems can be used as a method of tracking citizens, passive or otherwise. The government can pull your phone location data from carrier providers without the need to notify you. Concerns of GPS data is just one aspect of the greater discussion on the ability...

    China satellite navigation starts services to Asia

    The point is that governments everywhere already have the technology to track your every move. And they have used it whenever they want to. We're not much different from animals with RFID tags. And oops, you're right, they changed the law this year to require a search warrant for GPS tracking.

    China satellite navigation starts services to Asia

    The US government can track you using GPS as well. In fact, it's perfectly legal for the US government to stick a GPS tracker on your car and follow you without a warrant. People who are paranoid of governments wouldn't use GPS anyway.

    China - The world's hotbed of innovation?

    The fact is that the electronic cigarette wasn't a redesign. It operates on a different principle from the 1963 patent. That's not an incremental development, which covers the majority of patents in the world. Or you could say there's no such thing as innovation anyway, as inventions are all...

    China - The world's hotbed of innovation?

    There's quite alot of inventions, but most are simply design and manufacturing patents. For real breakthroughs, The Chinese are proud to invent the world's first electronic cigarette. :yahoo: Yet no-one uses them, what a shame. And also maglev wind turbines.

    China - The world's hotbed of innovation?

    Haha, I had a look at the original thread in the Chinese history forum. The guy who produced the data simply selected data that supported his argument. Even comparing figures from different historians who used completely different measurement standards. You can't do that for any sort of...

    New Delhi police fire water cannon at India rape protest

    Horrible. Don't riot police usually just form a shield wall to block protesters? Imagine the bloodshed if the girl actually died... You would have seen a pogrom on migrant workers.
