>>65014940>Chink BMPToo far, man. Chinkshit or no, that thing beats riding in a BMP-3.
>>65014940It was a throwback to sun tzu and the concubines
>>65014940It was aerosolized mercury using ancient Chinese medicinal techniques to prolong their lives.
>>65015148atleast it has a proper back door
>>65015024>>65014940I think they hit someone with the grenade or someone was close enough to the explosion to be injured. There's a bug down that someone else goes to to see if they're alright.
>>65015200And actual vertical space in the passenger compartment.The story of it is actually kinda morbidly funny. The chinks originally wanted their own version of a BMP-3. Studied it, bought a full turret... and basically went "What the fuck even is this shit?!" And then decided to keep the main gun/autocannon combo and build their own turret and hull around it instead because they couldn't believe how badly laid out the BMP-3 was.
>>65015269There's a version of the BMP-3 with a sane layout, haven't seen it in action though.
>>65015215>I think they hit someone with the grenade or someone was close enough to the explosion to be injured.See the sparkly bits looking all bright and leaving trails of thick white smoke?That was WP smoke. EVERYONE was injured. If anyone was not, they were very fucking lucky.
>>65015269It's unironically a well thought design>engine and transmission at the front to protect the crew>driver protected by a thick armor plate>gunner and commander protected by another armor plate>actually spacious (for the average chinese soldier) infantry compartment>hull is angled downwards to overcome the depression problem of the bmp-3's gun
>>65015381>>hull is angled downwards to overcome the depression problem of the bmp-3's guni guess, but that makes depression inconsistent compared to the sides and the rear of the vehicle
>>65015456front always towards the enemy
>>65015381>>65015269How come they haven't sold a lot of these to anyone who owns BMPs and wants better-but-not-NATO
>>65015541It'd be a good deal more expensive than getting a used BMP from Ivan's surplus lot used to be, especially given that you'd have to finance outright expansion of the production line because the PLA has so far been happily buying every hull Norinco has built.
>>65015541most chinese vehicles are unobtainium, they only sell downgraded versionstho i know they are actively selling the turrets because the kazakhstani taimas ifv has it
>>65015575No more BMPs are available.
>>65015595that turret is way too small for two people to fit in
>>65015613it's remotely controlled

>>65016350or was it an elaborate plot to kill some politicians and they fucked that up too?
>>65014954>"POLITICAL OFFICERS could be here" he thought, "I've never been on this training ground before. There could be POLITICAL OFFICERS anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his bare chest. "I HATE POLITICAL OFFICERS" he thought. Tian Shang Tai Yang Hong Tong Tong reverberated his entire AFV, making it pulsate even as the 9 Yuan Tsingtao circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of commissars after dark. "With a smoke grenade, you can clear out bunkers anywhere you want" he said to himself, out loud.

>>65015541Because then it would come out that the features it has on paper don't exist. That the engine melts occasionally and at random intervals because they don't know how to build one, that the armor plates to protect the crew don't exist because they don't care about human life. Like everything that has been publicized about China in the last 30 years, it was all just an exercise in saving face. None of it was ever really true, and the lie only holds up so long as nobody can check China on its lies.

>>65017264>How did this get uploaded in the first place?VPNs are extremely common for young and even middle-aged Chinese.
>>65017267>Ripoff pricesThat's about $1.And Tsingtao is considered quite good, it was a German factory that was nationalised in the revolution and they just kept the recipe and now it's Chinese beer made to German standards.When the original owners re-entered China after it opened up decades later, they attempted to regain control of the company and were told to fuck off, so they had to build a new brewery to compete with it.These days, German beer is pretty popular in China and you can buy party kegs of black or blonde beer in most supermarkets.During the occupation era, Tsingtao was seized by the Japanese and briefly owned by a company that split off into Asahi and Saporo so they're also essentially German beers too. Shares of the company changed hands repeatedly and most of it is owned by Chinese now but not entirely, it's a multinational company more or less.
>>65017275Yeah but when I last went beer was like half that
>>65017280>Yeah but when I last went beer was like half thatAh well, China has inflation too I guess.They're more worried about the price of pork, 9rambo booze is still pretty cheap and you'll never not be able to buy picrel (without ID lol) because it keeps the nongren from revolti...I mean rebelling.

The guy's demons won. It's a bit like you're holding a baby and you're scared of dropping it so you can't enjoy the moment and then part of you just wants to drop the baby to get rid of the fear and worry and stress because once it is done, it is done... SO in this case the guy is going "I can't do this... I can't do this" and then he does it. The mix of relief and then sudden adrenaline rush of fear must have been intoxicating

He claimed that through a combination ancestor worship and Tengrist ritual blessings that the uniforms of his men had been made impervious to UN and Republic of Korea army bullets. He and 823 of the 830 men of his battalion were killed by Turkish and ROKA infantry, and USAF napalm bombs. He was venerated in the Chinese Communist propaganda song "March of the 880 self cannibalizing martyrs of Changjin" (Chinese: 长津湖880名食人烈士的行军)

>>65021624>>65021639>>65021780It was so good. Chinese history is so full of these whacked out warlord-esque figures who just do the craziest shit.One I remember from the thread was a general or something, given a full Japanese officer's uniform during WW2 by a subordinate as a gift.He thought it was the most hilarious thing ever to put the whole thing on and ride his horse around at top speed, sword drawn, scaring the shit out of his soldiers. Unfortunately a Chinese sharpshooter saw what he thought was a crazed Japanese officer hauling ass around town and smoked him from a ways off.

>>65014940This reminds me of the time information came to light that China had supplied poor quality tires to the Russian armed forces, leading to a fracture between the two regimes, and consensus in the US that it was time to follow London’s lead in Russia related policy
>>65015541You dont buy BMP's you inherit 300 thousand from the soviets
What does China do when something like this happen? Imprison and/or execute the crew or their commanding officers? Or both? What about their families?

>>65015005RIP my chigga
>>65023352>Why are you like this?Why are their respective BMPs like this?
>>65023818>What does China do when something like this happen?Not as crazy as you'd expect, with the proviso that police are allowed to use mild torture and prisons are a bit of a black hole and there's a halfway state called administrative detention that is a form of psychological torture with mostly non-injurous beatings.>Imprison and/or execute the crew or their commanding officers? Anything is possible.I would usually say that Chinese don't execute people as casually as westerners think but this would be a court martial and officers may have died or been grievously injured so probably anything is possible.If the crew member actually pushed a button that they weren't supposed to then they could be in serious trouble, execution might not be beyond the realm of possibility but that's usually reserved for senior officials who screw up and it's not usually for incompetence...though again, this is probably a court martial not the civilian justice system and I don't know anything about PLA court martials. I suppose I don't even know if the PLA does court martials though I'm sure they must.Most likely some officers will be disciplined for not following some safety procedure or failing to ensure safety of the exercise/test/whatever it was. The crew may or may not be exonerated based on what their orders were and if they followed them.Some officers might be want to throw them under the tank but that would be pretty obvious and the investigation isn't going to be a local, internal thing, it's going to be under the auspices of high command so I would expect it to be thorough.>What about their families?They'll be fine.China generally only fucks with families to either; convince chinese overseas to comply or return, or to force a confession out of somebody.They don't do the Nork thing of family punishment, though it could lead to some mild bureaucratic discrimination (e.g. social credit) unless they make a public apology for their child or something.
>>65024661>Chinese don't execute people as casually as westerners thinkThe term we use is 'disappear'. You say something bad about Xi on your 'private' WeChat channel, and you they will come knocking at your door.
>>65025257That's pretty much the same as Europe with the exception of the restraint cage.
>>65025257>The term we use is 'disappear'. That's not what /pol/tards are insisting happened to the plane designer, with zero proof.Try asking one of them for a source.The post I was replying to used the word "execute", not "disappear".Disappearing is definitely something they do and if anon above had used that word, I would have agreed. Unlike say, argentina, disappearing in China is not usually permanent. Once everyone has forgotten about you, you get released from house arrest. That way the state doesn't spend anything on locking you up and you get to be forgotten, you or your family lose years in savings paying rent/bills with no income and generally life and career ruined.>You say something bad about Xi on your 'private' WeChat channel, and you they will come knocking at your door.That's...half true?They may well know but if it's said privately and it isn't "I'm going to shoot Xi" then you're probably not getting a knock, though you might go on a list.They have a metric where the more people see your "offensive" message, the higher the consequences. There's actually a scale of views that affect the court's punishment and it's probably similar for secret/civilian police intervention.You might be able to shit talk Xi in a chat with a few friends and be ok (except for the guy who wanted to join the party in college or the one applying to a government job) but if you had 10 people in the chat? Might get a knock then.

>>65029592>>65029598the claim is that in Congo Free state about 10milion people died due to it's rule during the rubber rush the rubber rush lasted about 20years before rubber plantations became operationalthat would have meant half a million deaths a yearthere where at it's peak no more than 10k whites in the Congo free state with at least half of those out sickso that's 5+k dead per white manbut there's one more problem there weren't even 10 million people in the Congo free state while there isn't a census, the Brits did have censuses for comparable terrain and that would put the population at about 4 millionso the Congo free state would have killed 6 million more people than lived therefurthermore, rubber only grows in about a third of the Congoso the Congo free state killed over double the population of the free state in a third of the free statewith every white being responsible for over 15k death per year in that regionnever mind that they'd be sick half the year, or the missionaries ect .now don't get me wrong Leopold did not care about anything but how much money he got out of the Congothings did get gnarly but claims are vastly exaggeratednor was the violence perpetrated by the white in the free state but tribal blacks that it barely controlledfor instance when the force public got involved in the Sudan wars doing what the Congo free state was set up to do, end slaverythe white officers lived in constant dread of their own troops (about 1 white of every 100 black on paper but keep in mind that half the whites where at sick at any given time)local troops whom for instance practiced battlefield cannibalism the Congolese where butchering each other long before the whites arrives and got right back to it the moment the whites leftthe only thing the Congo free state did was arm them with guns
>>65029430the Congo free state wasn't a belgian colony it was a personal possession of the king he dumped it on them after the rubber boom and it cost the Belgian state fuck tons of money to maintain it

I've never heard specific numbers listed, just that as you say...>things did get gnarlyOther than hands being lopped off, I don't think I knew much more than that.These claims evidentially didn't make it that far into the public consciousness.There's a mention of the exaggeration on wikipedia but I had only skimmed the article previously.Just the stuff I'd heard of (enslaved population, lopping of hands, hostages) was more than enough to consider ol' Leo a right villain and the practice of colonialism a somewhat evil one.
>>65029777basickly Leopold told the people he put in charge to make him more money (and get a nice bonus)so they told the rest of the whites to get more rubber they then got their black troops to get as much rubber as they couldthe black soldier then extorted as much labour as they could from the other blacksI mans if the goal is to get as much rubbers as you can, cutting of hands is kind of counter productiveif on the other hand you are a ooga and you need to booga, chop chop it is
>>65029795>I mans if the goal is to get as much rubbers as you can, cutting of hands is kind of counter productiveNot as much as you think.The hard part of latex harvesting isn't cutting notches in the tree, it's sticking the resin to your skin and then having it torn off.

>>65023178They do use it, actually. White phosphorous is used in smoke rounds due to how fast it deploys. An infantry-safe smokescreen would not explode like that.
>>65029430He didn't though, the actually sent a bunch of white Belgian officers to command local troopers so that local commanders wouldn't abuse their authority and ammunition settling tribal scores. He just didn't expend whatever arbitrary amount of money that libtards years later would demand he do to stop the tribal warfare endemic to the region. The libtard narrative, conjured up by three bongs who had never gone into the interior and had every political incentive to tar a potential colonial rival of Britain, has always been that the whites running the rubber collection business were maiming their own labor pool because "muh ebil" or some retarded faggotry. Rather than bandits who raided settlements and cutting off the hands of able-bodied men so they couldn't raise arms against said bandits and the bandits having their hands cut of when they were caught by local militias. It's almost like loping off hands was a thing they had always done and had nothing to do with colonialism or rubber other than the fact that now that there was something worth stealing(raw rubber or payroll for the laborers) bandit activity increased.The King at worst can be accused of being neglectful of enforcing law and order, but he did not make those niggers rob and maim one another anymore than the Baltimore police department does today.
>>65029728>now don't get me wrong Leopold did not care about anything but how much money he got out of the CongoYou're now seeing >>65030099 saying so

>>65014940Looks like a malfunction of the smoke screen. Definitely not planned, you can't really aim those even if you tried to.
>>65014986I can definitely see this happening as a covert means of assassination. You know how many nobles historically died in "hunting accidents?"
>>65030120Are you certain you are not also a nigger? The reason Leopold sent a token force of white officers to try and stabilize the situation is that constant banditry and tribal warfare facilitated by the theft of firearms and ammo from the colonial authorities by the colonial subjects tends to be bad for business. If every payroll is held up by bandits the laborers stop laboring. If every shipment of raw rubber is harassed then you have to pay guards to get it to the port. Leopold didn't have to to be a saint or even give a shit about the local niggers as individuals to put in the minimum effort he did. Which more or less did cut down on the banditry and tribal tit for tat warfare.Libtards seem to think that everybody who isn't a bleeding heart pussy is deliberately cruel even when it doesn't profit them, rather than being alternatively cruel or kind based on what they perceive to be in their fiscal interests. My issue isn't that the darkies were "exploited", though I'd ask in comparison to what their previous tribal existence? My issue is the endless libtard bitching and narratives about it. They aren't interested in a cold recitation of historical facts or creating predictive models of human behavior. Everything is about pushing a "message" which is politically advantageous to them at that moment.

>>65028130>be chinese>spontaneouslycombust
>>65014940Whoever did that is a karmicly pure man, acting on the orders of Sakyamuni Buddha. This was an omen and a reaffirmation of the divinely ordained punishment awaiting china for promulgating the (false) lotus sutra. Mark my words, if Xi does not humble himself before the true path of the Buddha soon his entire country will suffer, not out of cruelty but due to their own karmic pollution. A thousand thousand Tangshans will befall his nation.
>>65032278It happened to the officers observing though, so the omen seems to be that the army officers are corrupt and do not have the favour of heaven.Xi is right to purge them and should redouble his efforts.

>>65031647>literally enslaving a population by force of arms isn't that bad bro, it was good for them evenIn comparison to their previous tribal existence in which they were compelled by other nogs to do things by strength of arms? There is an easy way to determine if colonial or local rule was beneficial to a population, look at their bones and birthrates. If the bones indicate they had better nutrition, lived longer, and suffered fewer debilitating injuries then by definition their material circumstances improved. Also they got wages for the most part and those who weren't were being compelled not by whites but by other blacks who wanted to cash in on the King's lust for rubber. Slavery is endemic in all tribal societies, ever single fucking one. Slavery only becomes non-viable when you have an excess of animal or machine labor. At that point skilled laborers who can be trusted to maintain those animals or machines becomes predominant. Not that you can't have skilled and educated slaves, just look at the Greek household slaves of Rome who even managed Patrician estates. Christian Europe was the only society in all of history to effectively outlaw slavery, party due to the fact the Europeans are just superior to everybody else intellectually and thus were able to breed and later make a replacement for slave labor. And even then criminals were used for very dangerous slave labor, like galley rowers, which was simply too undesirable a job to find sufficient volunteer labor at a viable price. In the colonies a lack of ability to enforce any laws which did apply in Europe, a total lack of labor of any kind, and the existence of highly perishable cash crops which spoil almost instantly unless processed(cotton, rubber, and sugar cane) gave slavery a temporary reprieve before it was rendered non-viable. Slavery isn't some magical word you can fling around and get people to back down faggot, it existed in every society except European Christendom for a reason.
>>65032103>the population of Congo declined rapidly during his ruleProbably, when you have a rash of tribal warfare and banditry people tend to leave. Unfortunately we don't have any census data so we don't know how many were displaced. Probably tens of thousands. It would be interesting if we could actually look at the middens of different tribal settlements and determine what their populations were and how they changed through time by the rate of deposition in the midden. It would make an interesting model of tribal dynamics. They actually did that to study the movements of the Injun tribal alliances during the Beaver Wars. Which is probably the closest analog to the conditions in the Congo at the time. Europeans are willing to pay for pelts in booze, guns, and hatchets. Injuns kill each other to secure trapping rights.
