China Space & Missiles tread v.1.0

Talk about paranoia at its worst! Why on earth would the Chinese feel the need to censor the bookshelf of a little girl’s bedroom?! :confused:

If you look closely, the ‘blurring’, as you guys seem to believe, runs along the lower half of the glass panels only. Why would the Chinese feel the need to ‘censor’ this and not the top half?

Maybe because the simple answer is it’s glass frosting on the bookshlef?! 😀

What a couple of clowns.

Maybe you are right w.r.t the frosting on the glass.
But rest of my statement on the blurring & censoring in TV shows remain!

You guys thinking it’s censorship are funny. Yeah just like the US bans any Chinese even journalists from attending anything NASA because they think Chinese just looking at something they can copy. Or how about there was a Chinese woman who broke a top Western encryption code where she was then invited to attend a conference in the US. But the US government was so paranoid they banned her from even stepping onto US soil.

Thing could fall either way if we have to guess it.

may be its glass, but very unlikely by looking at blur intensity diffrence. (I m little freak of Ps).
it ok if they happy with it let them be. we should enjoy the circus show and there mentality:dev2:

Exactly! Why does it have to be censorship? It could simply be Semi-Transparent Glass : Image-1, Image-2, Image-3

I remember our old house used to have these grainy-glass windows. Some of them use to get smashed thanks to my cricket ball 😮 and the replacements were the regular transparent-Glass. So you get an odd mixture of Transparent & Semi-Transparent Glass

Hey why bookshelf rack in picture is blurred :confused:
Look like chines censorship work at it best

My dear friend, thats hardly a surprise and not even an exceptional case. they probably did not want to expose what the books/files are.

This kind of censorship is common to all three (Japan,China,Korea) in various fields. In this department Japanese are at the top and in almost all their programmes/documentaries/reports they censor what is not required for the view to see. For example, during plant visits, they blur the machinery that is of importance, data displayed on PC screens etc. Even on Shinkansen bullet trains, they blur all the displays & side panels that they do not want the general public to see (maybe on special occasions..), except for the normal screen displaying the speed and more common stuffs.

DF-16 missile.

Richard D. Fisher, Jr. writes:In mid-September 2012 the first full image of the China Aerospace Science and Industries Corporation’s (CASIC) Dong Feng-16 (DF-16) was revealed on Chinese web pages. In mid-March 2011 the Director of Taiwan’s National Security Bureau (their CIA) told the Taiwan legislature that the DF-16 had been deployed and that it had an estimated range of 800km to 1,000km, the latter falling within the definition of a medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM).

Pic of the mystery TEL and new missile seen few months ago. Canisters diameter is smaller than DF-31 canister but longer than DF-21.

First thing what come to my mind was IRBM with 4000-5000km range. It’s claimed that DF-21 is going to replace older liquid fueled IRBM’s Chinese are using currently, but DF-21 just does not have range to do that sort of job. It would make sense if Chinese used 4000-5000km range IRBM (similar to RSD-10) to target India etc, and then Chinese wouldn’t need to waste ICBM’s to do that job.

What? DF-41 tested? Link :confused: :confused: :confused:

^^^ It would have been much better and self-explanatory if they had made the model to scale.

And the Taikonauts on the mission

some good snaps

Good one. A thread related to China was lacking.

Some pictures of Shenzhou-9

This news may be a bit stale but I figured it would be good to throw it in anyway:

China sold missile transporters to NK

Good idea.
It’s time we keep up with China’s achievements
