If it's stolen Japanese technology, wouldn't Japan have the fastest train?
No, because China stole the technology silly
Like, schematics, diagrams, materials used in it, the people who helped create it - literally everything
The Chinese stole the whole damn train by airlifting it out of the middle of Tokyo.
Japan keeps building trains, and China keeps disappearing them
:xigma-male:
intellectual property is such a stupid fucking concept. just absolute brain worms
For the first time in history, the entire cultural and academical production of humanity can be copied perfectly at basically no cost indefinitely, can be made available to most for close to nothing, and the capitalists' response was a fucked up model of artificial scarcity because they were afraid both of the consequences and the lack of way of profiting from it. It's almost incredible in its absurdity.
They never give a shit about the US stealing the blueprints to the cotton gin lol
Yeah my reaction is literally: Cool they should do it even more
I like to ask Westoids when we can expect back royalties on paper, printing, gunpowder, and the compass. Makes them real mad.
Like a petty :british-maw: still seething over how Burgerland "stole" from them.
I personally prefer countries to reinvent technology every time they want something instead of relying on already existing infrastructure. It's more noble that way.
Japan didn't even invent the maglev train. What is this dude talking about?
Yeah this is an improvement of the Transrapid maglev china bought from Germany about 20 years ago. I don't think Japan uses any maglev trains, they've got the Shinkansen for highspeed rail transport. Same reason Germany didn't continue the Transrapid project and sold it off, there's already the ICE highspeed rail that doesn't require an entirely seperate, super-expensive track system. So the outside research China built this on is basically 1980s abandonware. Maglev is only reallly viable on a few very specific routes. It will find its uses in China, but it isn't competitive in countries that actively fight against their rail infrastructure.
tl;dr: this dude guessing it is based on Japanese tech seems highly influenced by :reddit-logo: racism where only Japan is allowed to be more advanced than the USA and all Chinese products are 100% knockoffs.
That's almost correct. Japan is currently building the Chuo Shinkansen, a maglev shinkansen with a top speed of 505km/h. It's being built as a relief line for the Tokaido Shinkansen, the first high speed line in the world and a very busy one at that.
i actually counted on somebody on here knowing more about the Shinkansen than me lol
"You see, the Asiatic brainpan is incapable of innovation, therefore they must have stolen it from an Anglo puppet state"
the wright brothers airplane was built using stolen italian technology
rich coming from an angloid australian too
People literally stole flight from birds.
Humans refuse to innovate themselves and can only STEAL ideas from other animals and it's disgusting.
Technological improvements happen by standing on the shoulders of those before you. Even if they "stole" information there's a lot of work that goes into understanding that information and pushing it to the next level.
Wrong. Elon Musk/Tony Stark does inventing all by himself in a lab.
I refuse to use any kind of transportation that in any way utilizes the stolen Mesopotamian technology of metallurgy.

:you-think-this-is-funny: you think it's OK to configure matter into a shape that someone else first thought of and now owns?
:party-parrot-science: To own an idea. To contain information. This is madness. You have damned your own progress on an alter of legalistic æther -- a weight within the mind, a shackle you choose.
During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.

Wdym technology doesn't work like a tech tree in a Civilization game?
Stealing tech aggressively is a viable way to play civ when playing from behind lmao reddit loss
Espionage Overview:
You have a spy that is not assigned to tasks. Spies can steal technologies from other civilizations, uncover other civilization's plans through intrigue, and increase your influence over City-States by rigging elections. Assign spies in the Espionage Overview screen to have them start working!
there is no international patent system.
EDIT: there is a procedure to coordinate the granting of national patents though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent_Cooperation_Treaty
A PCT application does not itself result in the grant of a patent, since there is no such thing as an "international patent", and the grant of patent is a prerogative of each national or regional authority. In other words, a PCT application, which establishes a filing date in all contracting states, must be followed up with the step of entering into national or regional phases to proceed towards grant of one or more patents. The PCT procedure essentially leads to a standard national or regional patent application, which may be granted or rejected according to applicable law, in each jurisdiction in which a patent is desired.
Things that were invented by non-Europeans
- gunpowder
- numbers
- cows
- dogs
- wheat
- rice
- paper
- compasses
- algebra
- farming
- pigs
- ducks
- basil
- potatoes
- steel
- transistors
I could go on for hours but you get the idea
All of that information was stolen. The Non-Europeans didn't pay for any of it.
You're laughing. The sneaky asiatics stole technology from the Honorary Aryans and you're laughing?!
