Chinese Tests Black Eagle
This Tuesday the People’s Liberation Army successfully tested a new stealth fighter, the J-20 “Black Eagle.”
For more information on the plane, read this Wikipedia article. The only reason I’m posting this is because of the great comments the online community members (netizens) have made in response. (All translations have been done by ChinaSmack.)
Here are some of my favorites:
Sigh, hope it wasn’t just pieced together! [is real, not just a fake/ruse] — 腾讯合肥市网友
Does the country/government’s strength and power have anything to do with us? — 红玛瑙
The more advanced the PLA’s weapons are, just means the more people that can be suppressed on Changan Avenue. — 織田信長
No wonder everyone says it is easy to be a [government] leader. I’d rather see the price of cabbage fall 5 mao. — 红玛瑙
Is the poster speaking for the Party, or for the people? — 朱雀
[If the country has] become more powerful, does it have anything to do with me? I only know that our wages are N times lower than abroad, and prices are so much higher than abroad that they are unrecognizable. I won’t even talk about housing prices. This thing you’ve created, what does it have to do with the lowly common people? — 租车超人
Slaves cheering the slave-master for researching and developing an even more powerful killing machine? What kind of reasoning is this? — 正宗张江男
If there is hope, it lies in the netizens?
