  1. Finally all in the cross hairs of a Nuclear war. Not to be left behind. China is the new ogre on the bloc we should all be hating to drum up military spending and generate arms sales.

  3. Will China’s new laser satellite become the ‘Death Star’ for submarines?

    Scientists are working on a device they hope will be able to reveal the location of a target as far as 500 metres below the ocean surface

    China is developing a satellite with a powerful laser for anti-submarine warfare that researchers hope will be able to pinpoint a target as far as 500 metres below the surface. It is the latest addition to the country’s expanding deep-sea surveillance programme, and aside from targeting submarines – most operate at a depth of less than 500 metres – it could also be used to collect data on the world’s oceans. Project Guanlan, meaning “watching the big waves”, was officially launched in May at the Pilot National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology in Qingdao, Shandong.

    It aims to strengthen China’s surveillance activities in the world’s oceans, according to the laboratory’s website.

    Scientists are working on the satellite’s design at the laboratory, but its key components are being developed by more than 20 research institutes and universities across the country. Song Xiaoquan, a researcher involved in the project, said if the team can develop the satellite as planned, it will make the upper layer of the sea “more or less transparent”. “It will change almost everything,” Song said.

  4. I don't understand the objectives of building really really expensive subs that take decades to build.

    Shouldn't we better fund Australia's naval and airforce capacity to help with any potential chinese navy or landing.
