Have any doubts the China steals technology from the United States? This should go a long way in convincing you. China’s new space concepts seem almost exactly like those of SpaceX.
Never mind that most of the military equipment China produces is a knock off of other countries’ designs – I’m thinking there are more Chinese AK 47s out there than there are Russian ones.
Chine appears to have stolen the design of the SpaceX vehicle. SpaceX now has a new competitor, using their own technology against them..
Too bad they don’t innovate for themselves. They may actually find they are good at it…
Starship lookalike among China’s new human spaceflight concepts
I wouldn’t talk about such similarities too often or openly! – People might come up with other similarities we’ve seen, not so long ago, in rocket science. There were, for instance, the rockets of Mr. Kim of North Korea suddenly capable of reaching across the Pacific (to USA), and some NATO missile experts were surprised by their similarity with the old Soviet SB250 ICBMs (InterContinental Ballistic Missiles). These SB250 had, actually, before the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991) been produced at ‘Yushmash’ in Dnipro (Ukraine), and there was still a major storage of these ICBMs.
Mr. Kim’s great rocket-success came in the time after the MAIDAN MASSACRE in Kiev, and “Our Yats” (as Obama’s envoy Ms. Nuland called him) was in the Chair of the First Junta in Kiev. Now, it is common knowledge that Ukraine had, since its Independence, never seen a Government tat was NOT corrupt – and missiles have a high market value (especially “under hand”), and Mr. Yatseniuk was, soon after these events, fired for “excessive corruption” (so much for Obama’s friend – almost like Biden & Son). “Unfortunately, it was not possible to carry out a proper check-up of the missile stores in Dnipro and in the army: Two (very) major fires (visible from space) in two military stores, one of these in Dnipro, erased a sizeable quantity of Ukrainian war material, including rockets! In short: The mystery of Mr. Kim’s sudden success in rocket science has never been fully (or even a bit) explained.
Yes, you are quite right, North Korea would never have nuclear weapons without a great deal of help, stealing tech and plans from the West. Russia never had an aircraft carrier until they managed to steal the designs from the West.
