>Be China>Develop a drone>Hmmmm what to call it>Look at drone>AH!Wing Loong
Does it at least mean something cool in Chinese? There's got to be a cope for such a retarded name at least.
>>64337104Wing Loong in Chinese means "Wing Long".Still somehow better than YangWang
>>64337104>It means pterodactyl in chineseAt least they didn't name it xiongmao kuaican
>>64337104Funny thing about that: westerners translated it as "Soaring Dragon." But this is actually a very direct translation because Wing Loong (Yinglong in Mandarin) in Chinese it simply means "Pterodactyl."Being one of the major fossil sites in the world and since translation gets fucked up over there, China has its own taxonomy system for dinosaurs. Like for example: instead of "Tyranosaurus Rex" they call it "Bawang Long," (Tyrant King Dragon), while stegosaurus is "Jianlong' (Sword Dragon).
>>64337134>Finds Dinosaur bones>stills calls it dragonBASED
>>64337150Its also one of the reasons. Ancient Changs have been digging up dino-bones throughout history and mistook them for dragon remains and ground them up for alchemic bs and immortality pills. When modern Science came, Chinese paleontologists insisted on having their own native system as they felt their people had been discovering dino-bones way before anyone else did.
Loong Wing is Looooooooong
>>64337094Was it invented by Sum Chin Gai?
>>64337150>>64337134Japan does this as well. The Japanese word for “dinosaur” is 恐竜, something like “scary dragon”. It’s just an inherent trait of the writing system, they have to have their own names for it all.
>>64337167>ground them up for alchemic bs and immortality pillsWhere can I find these dinosaur immortality/boner pills? It's China, so there HAS to be a black market for dino-rocks.
>>64337286Japan uses global/western dino taxonomy and tries to pronounce em as phonetically as possible. China absolutely doesn't and uses their own taxonomy (although they do translate the literal meaning of the names of dinos found outside of China)
>>64337150
>>64337134It doesn't even strictly translate to soaring dragon, because each character has several meanings. Another translation is "Winged Dragon", because long is often used for dinosaurs also
>>64337104I don't know why but China had the worst translated military names across the board. It's how you get things like People Liberation Army's Navy Air Air Force
>>64337167China is full of scammers and they just handwave try to fight the corruption. Remember that time an entire meuseum was shutdown because every single 'artefact' in it was fake? Remember that time other muesums were filled with fake shit? Remember that time where China's tallest waterfall was found to be supplied via pipe?

>>64337940>Rmmber China bad?Can't help yourself I guess.
>>64337134>China has its own taxonomy system for dinosaurs. Like for example: instead of "Tyranosaurus Rex" they call it "Bawang Long," (Tyrant King Dragon), That's a simple transliteration, though. Tyrannosaurus Rex means "Tyrant-lizard King".
>>64337094Look at the air intake on that thing. The engine must be pathetic. This has to be a prop or something... I just.. I can't even look at it. It's so sad. Even the 30-year old predators look better than this.
