In the future, write the scientists in a paper published in the journal Science Robotics, drone swarms like this could be used for disaster relief and ecological surveys.
China is the face of automated spying. Particularly on their citizens and as visibly as they possibly can. Drones that track people seem relevant to China as a result. You can’t announce your countrywide spy network with a prideful voice year after year and expect not to be turned into a caricature.
CIA hasn’t disappeared me for calling Biden a cuckling bitch yet, but maybe next week. Try asking about the wrong anniversary in China. It’s really not comparable.
I feel like I have to repeat myself here, you can’t announce your countrywide spy network with pride year after year and expect not to be turned into a caricature. Every country has stereotypes, some true and others not. China’s biggest is spying and its second is disappearing dissidents. Other countries are less known for it, and I will reiterate, because they do not constantly announce it to a billion citizens.
All I’m saying is we seem to throw a lot of stones from inside our glass houses.
that’s all it is, projection from regular citizens who have bound their nationality to their identity and can’t help but sling shit at others in a defensive reflex, and distraction by those in power pushing that nationalism (and other division) to keep us focused on an “enemy” that isn’t them.
And to be clear before I get called a tankie - fuck China, it’s state run capitalism, not communism, and they definitely are responsible for a lot of shit, but so are almost all nations, and maybe people should be looking to hold their own governments accountable (or even better, to abolishing the systems that all these governments serve and rely on) before they start pointing fingers at others.
A random worker in the UK has more in common with a random worker in China, than either have with an obscenely wealthy person of their own nationality - workers of the world unite!
China is actively engaged in ethnic cleansing and/or genocide right now (eg the uyghurs). Those things are not so popular in the west, at least not in an actively state sponsored way.
That’s an optimistic way of looking at it.
Yeah, I bet China can’t wait to do more ecological surveys.
Reporter: What could have caused the deaths of these people?
Government Spokesperson: Ecological surveys can be pretty dangerous.
Reporter: Follow-up question. All 37 people appear to have been shot simultaneously in the back of the head. What is ecological about that?
Government Spokesperson: I’m sure we could arrange for you to observe an ecological survey very closely…
China bad updoots to the left
With pleasure.

Scale.
Yeah nobody is hating on Russia… 😂🤣
A hint could be that in one of those countries, you may very well disappear if your voice is opposed to that of the regime.
Plenty of outspoken state critics have had the CIA’s highest reward for investigative journalism administered cranially.

On a video where China demonstrates its automated human tracking capabilities, you want people to discuss other countries’ tracking?
What’s your motivation for this whataboutism?
Maybe trying to get more social credits
UK is pretty far from perfect but to suggest we have “just as dubious morals” as China is categorically wrong.

Only if you have a wilfully short memory and/or are wilfully ignorant of the atrocities that came with far reaching British imperialism (never mind completely ignoring the news, we have camps, hundreds of asylum seeking children disappearing, disabled people being quietly killed off, trans people having their rights removed and so on and so forth never mind the “run of the mill” systemic racism sexism queerphobia ableism classism and so on, and pretending these aren’t all active stages of fascism is helping normalise it)

I mean, in this case it was due to the context of the article.
I think it’s missing commas.
