A Chinese nuke on the coast of Britain might be hard politically. Even if it's benign, you can bet the US will run an expensive campaign to discredit it in public opinion.
- Heliosmaster 6d agoIt doesn't come preloaded with fuel.
- defrost 6d agoThere's a special line crossed by a 100% Chinese owned floating nuclear power plant, as opposed to a 24% Chinese owned fixed in place nuclear power plant like the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station?
- JumpCrisscross 5d agoYou wouldn't even need it to be Chinese owned. Just Chinese built and indemnified. Hell, I'd take a guarantee from a consortium of Chinese SoE banks over the U.S. government today. (I'm American.)
- torginus 5d agoEven if you own it, you'll need the Chinese to run it for you and provide you with spares.
- pseudohadamard 5d agoSort of like needing the US for F-35 parts? Given the choice between being dependent on China or the US, I know which one I'd choose - China is running a business, the US is running... God knows what it is they think they're running, but it's not something you want to get tied up in.
- lostlogin 6d ago> you can bet the US will run an expensive campaign to discredit it in public opinion. The US has effective run this on itself for the past few years. The Chinese look fairly benign in comparison.
- vablings 5d agoNot really. If something bad happens you can always just drag the boat back to China and say here you deal with this lol
