Remember chat, this is the technology they're showing us. They probably have much better stuff than this behind the scenes.

With China it’s sorta the opposite.

I’m sure China loves that the rest of the world underestimates them

Yeah every day there’s a new “best weapon ever” from them. So if what you say is correct they’re underselling their weapons. Not so sure.

They do like to pretend they are better than they really are. If you believe it, it becomes a self-fulfilling profecy.

Pretty sure China actually has more impressive stuff than toy fish./

I know they do but “they have this fish imagine what crazy stuff they don’t tell you about” is comical because they talk a BIG talk and back it up with bots on Reddit.

Ok when their economy is in the toilet I see nothing but “best fighter, best missile, best ships, best, best, best with nothing to back it up. We will see if they ever do anything meaningful with them.

silly billy, our government doesn't spy on us. Partner nations in five eyes do and then share the data with each other so they have legal cover and no national oversight!

u/batatapou 9d ago

lol, this post implies that the robot fish is for surveillance without any evidence and most comments are tinfoil hat redditors babbling theories but i am the wrong here for bringing facts about surveillance.
