Accidents happen.
From January to November 2023, the Chinese shipbuilding industry’s output climbed 12.3 percent year-on-year to 38.09 million deadweight tons, accounting for more than half of the world’s total, according to China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Chinese shipbuilders also commanded global orders with 134.09 million deadweight tons, or 53.4 percent of the world’s market share, over the same period, a 29.4 percent year-on-year increase, according to the official statistics.
They produce half of all the ships on the planet. Then it stands to reason that half of all the shipbuilding accidents would also happen there (more or less).
Just like with the failed test launch of the Russian missile. Western media was gloating. But anyone whose brain hasn’t atrophied yet would think “it’s a test launch, that’s why they do test launches.”
Speaking of media, and going back to China, when it was first reported the headlines made it sound as if a Chinese nuclear submarine sunk. Usual implication being that it sunk out at sea. e.g. China’s Newest Nuclear Submarine Sank, Setting Back Its Military Modernization
I’m probably going to be down voted here for providing more information, but yeah clearly that shadow isn’t a sub. I think the sub is supposed to be underwater where it can’t be seen, but the cluster of equipment show them reacting to something, or else why would they be there like that. Apparently there was a sub here before and after this event though, so…
This article includes the earlier picture that is almost certainly the same spot based on everything else in the picture. I can’t find anything that contains the later images that supposedly exist, only articles that mention it. It’s easy to make someone look stupid if you want. Ignoring all other information only makes you look stupid though, so try not to do that.
Headline is correct. China has a long way to go if they want to be as incompetent as the US.
Sinking is what subs are supposed to do though. They’d be a pretty bad submarine if they couldn’t sink.
Though the reason they are doing this is to generate fascist propaganda against China, to gear up for their upcoming war with them. It is easily debunked, but that’s fine with them because they’ll have released a dozen stories of a similar caliber in the time it takes to point out how ridiculous this is.
Looks like the whole story might be a grift started by a satellite image company Planet Labs that’s going through a major round of layoffs and desperately needs money.
Capitalist efficiency at its finest!
“North Korea forces everyone to get the same haircut” tier journalism.
lol yup
Where’s the evidence that a nuclear submarine was there in the first place? Wuhan is not near the sea.
Check this out. Compare the picture in this article to the stuff in the “sunken sub” picture. It matches perfectly, including the crates on the pier even. There was almost certainly a sub there at one point at least. Whether it sunk or not, who’s to say. It looks like the cranes are doing something though, right where the sub was in the earlier picture.
Governments are going to lie. All of them. Maybe don’t believe everything you see and double check to see if you can find more information. Sometimes it exists.
Shipyards normally aren’t on the ocean, for many reasons. Inland is more protected from storms. It’s harder to target inland facitilites. Shipyards often develop from previously specialized shipbuilding locations, which are often on rivers. Many shipyards are island, and it really isn’t strange to see a sub built inland if you pay attention to this. Rivers connect to the sea.
It came to them in a dream. 😂
My faith in the human intellect is lost after news stories like this.
“Yo! See that shadow? There’s an invisible high tech tub of ice cream there. Go get it!”
