I would say it’s bad because the only reason low quality products exist from China is because there is a company ordering them, typically American. All of our expensive tech comes from there any you haven’t heard of most of those companies

Okay bud Chinese 99.999999999% of the time refers to Han. If you ask a Chinese person they will say 中国人, Chinese. Yes Han is the proper nomenclature but no Chinese person would make this argument.

Don’t let them know that!

Yes I would. Three lines of thought:

One paying for premium is pretty cheap and often half off during holidays. Something like $30-50 for a year. And it makes the grind much quicker. They gotta run their servers and make money somehow.

Two buying premium planes at holidays is fairly reasonably priced, $30-40 dollars. You get exactly what you want the it makes the grind much easier. It gives you a ton more points making life easier. I recommend the Russian mig21.

So for 30$ once plus $30-50 the game isn’t that much of a grind, you support the devs, and you get to play what you want.

Three you can pay to just unlock normal planes you’re researching. I’ve found this to be unreasonably priced and see no reason to do this. For instance for US I’m slowly research the f14. Maybe a couple days and I could have it, but if I paid for the gold it would be something dumb like $60. I think that is never worth it.

I first started playing thinking I would never pay but premium and a good high tier jet are totally worth it. I’ve played almost 600 hours and bought four premiums and prem twice. So for maybe $120 I’ve gotten 600 hours and four exactly jets I want. That’s worth it to me.

Another thought, on the subreddit people often say if you don’t enjoy just playing a the grind to get high tier isn’t fun then you won’t enjoy the game. There is a lot of truth in this. Low to mid tier is actually in many ways more fun. WW1 is hilarious because there are a lot of newbs and the props turn so fast. WW2 is even more fun. I love my early jets like the f8u. So it was annoying to start not wanting to pay and just wanting high tier jets but honestly there is so many fun planes.

I believe I’ve got my monies worth haha ;)

Edit I’ll also add realistic if quite fun. If you want more arma like you might play ground realistic so you can fight tanks and planes.

War thunder:)

That sounds very cute

Thanks!

I couldn’t fully figure out how to setup my instance so technically I am fully isolated on there lmao

Was it for moderation reasons?

I have it but never played it

Didn’t realize I’m arguing with a racist 18 year old lmao. Bye!

You’re claiming that Chinese people cannot design anything new because they built a replica city? Way to admit you know nothing about anything China does and show your ignorant racism.

Cute cats

I don’t know beyond the article I just read and cited. I’m sure it changed in the republic. It says they started a new system in the 1920s then in the PRC in 1980s. I’m sure the answer is them no that family of the author does not own it.

That said if one was to use details specific to modern Chinese or English translations I’m sure that is copyrighted

Yeah the individuals deserve to be protected but I have no care for corpos losing to other corpos

That’s an interesting question!

I found this:

The Song’s imperial successors, and especially the Ming (A.D. 1368-1644), endeavored to strengthen state control of publication, although relatively few changes were made to the formal structure of regulation until the Qing. Each post-Song dynastic code specifically forbade the unauthorized republication of governmental works on astronomy, the civil service examinations, and other materials long considered sensitive. Additionally, each contained provisions banning “devilish books.” These provisions were supplemented periodically by special decrees— as may be seen, for example, in the Hongwu Emperor’s (1368-92) orders that all works disparaging the newly founded Ming dynasty even indirectly through the use of homophonic puns be eliminated," and in the Qianlong Emperor’s (1736-96) famous decree of 1774 requiring that all literature be reviewed so that any books containing heterodox ideas could be destroyed.

Yes I do mean my comment in good faith

Meh knock offs aren’t always bad, everything was a doom knock iff at first ;)

What’re you asking? This practice greatly benefits locals if you ask me :)
