Considering that China already uses biometrics to identify Beijing metro commuters, facial recognition surveillance at large events and smart glasses to assist police in apprehending criminals, it's not as though the country needs to step up its game when it comes to surveillance technology.

As a pioneer in this field, China hardly needs to add to its growing list of innovations within the surveillance industry and yet they've just been trying out a flock of new "Dove" drones.

The drones, which fly just as a real bird would, have already been tested in regions such as Xinjiang, where they've gone completely undetected.

According to sources in a report by the South China Morning Post, the drones have already been tested in at least five provinces by some 30 government and military agencies in the country.

The new drones have been developed for a program known as "Dove" and are able to replicate about 90% of the movements of a real dove. Unlike standard unmanned aerial vehicles with fixed wings or rotor blades, these drones can gain altitude, dive and accelerate in flight just as a bird would.

The flap mechanism allows the wings to change shape slightly when they move up and down, generating not only lift but also pushing the drone forward. They're also very quiet, which makes them very difficult to detect.

We'd better get rid of the 2nd amendment. And we'd also better keep giving the federal government trillions in income each year.

How about we focus on organization and getting good hearted and educated people into power such that we don't have to worry about the big spooky federal government that you see.

It is not happening. You say that but nothing ever changes. The last person you tried to make president was Hillary Clinton.

They are not. But they don't champion themselves as a progressive party.

No, they champion themselves as the party of personal responsibility and then blame Democrats for literally everything, even if they themselves are the ones who did something.

Answer the question.

Is RiderofHogs a centrist that can offer critique about conservatives without needing to deflect to liberals while he's doing it? Well that's an obvious no, despite your claims to the contrary in that other topic.

You mean like right there when I said they were not an improvement? Not that it matters since the conversation was about what democrats are supposedly doing to clean their party.

Constantly deflecting attention away from Republicans were part of the criticisms against you too, yuleh. I'm not sure why refusing to keep on topic when 3 different people are trying to talk about Republicans proves the point you tried to make in the topic where you swore you were a centrist.

Because most people in the center know exactly what republicans are. But democrats try to act like they are the good guys.
