@njdevil281 Fool you are probably a American arrogance fool

Whats your education level kindergarten?

[njdevil281]

@jia2001 China is the world second largest economy only because it has 1.3 billion. They don't have their own spaceship, they just copied the Russians. China innovates nothing, they just steal other peoples technology and mass produce it cheaply(and badly) through slave labor.

Do you know that China is ranked as 21 on innovation of the entire world?

Do you know that China is the second largest economy of the world and you really are a fool if you think a country with second largest economy got 0 innovation??? Get a life will you???
