for one - I wasnt comparing them to anyone _ there's always some asshole that has to put USA first , all I said was they made tech advancements in the past 20 years

Jesus Christ , calm the fuck down - I was making a point they went to the moon and did some diff things - didn't say anything was better or even Brought up comparisons - just looking at a country in 2000 and again in 2022 in regards of space technology
USA is the country that has a strong lead on everyone as space is concerned. So, apart from the disastrous space shuttle and such, the chinese will steal, learn and copy from the USA.
I do not see and anomalies in the chinese technological timeline. They are carefully taking the same steps the Americans (or ESA) have been taking for decades.
Same for the chinese military. China has a lot of mathematicians, engineers, software / ICT experts, so they will also figure out many things on their own.
But: I also don't see any revolutionairy weapons in the American arsenal. They always are an evolution, rather than any UAP-influenced revolution.
Even the aurora / tr-3a or SR71 or tr-3b is whatever it's called is just a scramjet fossil fuel burning successor to the SR-71. Project failed, stealth drones and better satellites now are more useful than doing mach 7 over enemy territory and just being a minute over the area of interest.
The USAF does not seem capable (or the private companies involved) to reverse engineer any UAP tech. A complete failure so far.
