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.

That's an optimistic way of looking at it.

Yeah, I bet China can’t wait to do more ecological surveys.

Why does China always get these kind of comments. I’m from the UK and I have seen my country and the USA do more to destabilise the world than China ever does?

Sure china is fucked if you live there and they have too much power with the manufacturing, but I’m genuinely curious as to why Reddit and Lemmy really like to shit ok china when we most likely live in countries with just as dubious morals.

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.

Dude the CIA and GCHQ were found to be spying on their own citizens too.

Like shit I get it china bad but also we are bad too. It’s insane all the posts of avoid Chinese tech as they spy, but it’s cool to buy this American tech as the cia are privacy advocates just like apple. Ffs.

Glass houses and stones is all I’m saying.

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.

Maybe not but the cia have definitely renditioned people during the war on terror.

The CIA have certainly destabilised more governments that any other organisation I can think of.

I’ve said in another comment that yes what goes on it chinas bordered is fucked up and should be condemned. What I’m talking about is all the hate about the stuff outside it’s borders when to my stupid Brian they don’t do too much.

What is it with you people that are quick to criticise other places but will not take criticism of their own country.

To be abundantly clear, I am not trying to defend China at all, fuck them and their treatment of Uyghurs and citizens in general etc. I am merely trying to find out why China is in vogue, why not NK, Russia, Syria, Sri Lanka etc.
