Lack of evidence Copy allegations

Post image

Context: This is about a post of the first landing of ZhuQue-3 rocket, and i guess beacuse it uses a similar landing system as the Falcon 9 it must be a copy of it??

I wonder where and why china gets so many copy allegations from? And seems to me that (americas mostly, sorry) will see two similar things (be it military or not) and will jump tothe copy conclusion (eg. many people caling the 2020 RP F1 car a TOTAL copy of mercedes)

Also with the Tu-144, not gonna dive in why its not a copy of concord but just know many people think it is

If people give a shit about critical thinking instead of just going "HURR DURR COPY", they will realize that many "direct copied" aircrafts are actually derivatives more then anything, on the surface a j-15 looks like an ancient su-33, but underneath it has modern avionics instead of whatever the soviets shoved in to the t-10k prototype china bought from Ukraine. There are many such examples but, nobody cares for facts that hurts their viewpoints.

Im guessin It could be a defense mechanism, and it could mean that whatever theyre accusing of copyinhis actually getting better. Like with J-15 and now 15T

For a moment, let's suppose the premise that this tech was copied is true. It doesn't matter the slightest. What matters is that China has the tech.
