        I think people still think of China as a second tier sometimes, but from what I have seen their technology is likely at least equal to ours, and I would imagine the West and China both surpass each other in different technological categories.

          Lol China is far superior to our tech. They get to manufacture everything we design. Then get to ponder on improvements. Not to mention their “students” in all our universities.

      By “the FBI scanned”, they probably mean “We told Kash Patel that there was a six pack of Miller hidden somewhere in the plane and let him have at it.”
