I would've imagined farming in China is a hardcore, full-time business. Where do they find time to build submarines???
and I just did a urban-dictionary search for "gaffa," and apparently that means duct-tape - which is alot more logical than engineered humans...at least to me anyways.
@GarrickNemesis: "gaffa" is actually a mispronunciation of "gaffer", as in gaffer's tape. It's a cloth tape used in the theatre and film industries. It's definitely NOT duct/duck tape.
@GarrickNemesis: Actually the topsoil is receding in the vast majority of China, leaving behind non-fertile desert sand. I would tend to believe that Chinese farmers are getting more and more free time by the day... and probably without affecting their financial status, to boot.
Some say Chinese are superior because they inherently know how to work together as a group. Well, I think they may be superior on the isolated individual crazy genius inventor front, too.
Wow! I think it's amazing that poor farmers in a Communist country, with little or no personal expertise in those fields can build such things. Yet, in America you'd be hard pressed to find a High School student who could even point to China on a map. Amazing or sad?
And we're worried about the Chinese and Russian Governments...
These Chinese farmers are probably building and stock piling weapons of mass destruction. They'll rule Asia as "The Peoples Republic of Chinese Farmers."
@citizen024: gaffa? You mean modified humans genetically engineered by the Goa'uld in antiquity to serve as soldiers and as incubators for their young.
When the Russians lost the Kursk, I was living in Scandinavia. The reasons the Ruskies initially blamed us is because one our subs shadowing their shenanigans was seen at port in either Finland or Norway unloading data recorders shortly after the explosion. The Russians claimed it was because the US sub was damaged in a collision if memory serves me right.
So fear not, I doubt we let these go too far without us following close behind. We're still doing the same by air and sea to numerous countries.

@SeattleTed is proud to like Robert Zimmerman: They have claimed this for about every one of their accidents.
They claim the very same "collision" story with the K-129 despite the closest US sub being miles away, and the damage being pretty evident in being caused by a explosion in the missile tube.
