Thirty years after the Cold War, a new generation of weapons has evolved to threaten aircraft carriers. One such weapon type is China’s growing arsenal of anti-ship ballistic missiles, including the DF-21D and DF-26, capable of targeting a moving aircraft carrier at a range of up to 2,485 miles. This is considerably farther than the range of the strike fighters that make up a carrier’s air wing; to strike those missiles, the carrier must sail well within range of them. That’s a risky proposition considering an aircraft carrier is a national strategic asset and home to 6,000 sailors.
Russia has also developed new anti-ship weapons. The new Kinzhal hypersonic weapon, developed from the Iskander-M land-based ballistic missile, is launched from a modified MiG-31 fighter. Kinzhal has a top speed of Mach 10, which would complicate a defender’s ability to shoot it down. It is also reportedly nuclear-capable, and although U.S. carriers are designed with nuclear weapons in mind such a weapon would almost certainly be crippling, if not fatal.
There aren’t a lot of things that can sink an aircraft carrier, especially in peacetime. One that just might do the trick is cost: the latest carrier, USS Ford cost a staggering $13 billion to develop and build. And that’s just the ship itself: the cost of a new air wing of 74 aircraft is about $6.5 billion, and the cost of the escort ships another $10 billion. Thirty billion dollars is a lot just to put 44 strike fighters into the air, and is exponentially more than the cost of carriers and aircraft built during World War II, even factoring inflation.
Donald Trump hates war! Donald Trump is the only president that never engage in any war! Please get your record straight! During Trump short 4 years, he signed dozens of peace deal with many nations! And only Trump seal a peace deal for Israel! Well, that went kaput recently under Biden!
US no longer interested in engaging wars as it is too expensive! China will not as it lack military experience! But US and China are moving into space dominance! That's why they are been aggressive in space of late! Well, again, under Biden, that seems to stale! You see, to conquer earth, you need to conquer space! Nowadays, your military is useless if you are not dominating space with all those GPS thingy can be easily taken over by stronger opponent! Times has changed!
Hong Kong stocks log second weekly loss as Evergrande keeps market on edge A bond coupon payment deadline passed on Thursday without any clarity from Evergrande, keeping market on edge More visibility is expected in the coming weeks as Chinese authorities walk a tight line between growth and reform, UBP says
KYY has the tendency to spew a lot of rubbish...like calling DONALD TRUMP a congressman.. As far as i know, he was never a congressman or a senator. He was the FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE USA..just before Joe Biden...It would be good for an old man to ask someone to fact check his emotionally charged and biased articles.. I am not going to bore you with the other things he has said..At least for the time being..the PR_ is in a deep hole..it would be good if someone other than KYY throw some light on it ..for us investors
Before DF-41 hit Washington,around 270 nuclear warhead will land at Shanghai,Beijing and Shenzen .There are 3 nuclear submarines under 7th fleet just 1,000 km away from china at south china sea.They wont be any physical war to kill china,china will self defeat just like soviet union
Travelling at six times the speed of sound, evading radars along the way, the proposed weapon would be able to strike targets 3,000km away
Intense electromagnetic pulse or microwaves produced upon explosion would be able to ‘burn out’ key electronic devices within a 2km range
Defeat an army without a fight and without casualties? Quite possible, if a new type of hypersonic weapon proposed by a team of rocket scientists in China becomes reality.

With EverGrande becoming EverPetite (China Local Governments taking over), bankruptcy is certain.
The 30-day grace period after non-payment of interest is like train wreck in slow motion. Before feeling the impact, CCP has taken over all the properties under development in EverPetite. CCP just to make sure all the developments are completed.
4 days past due, 26 more days to go. The non-payment of interest will also indicate another non-payment this coming Thursday.
Tick Tok Tick Tok... But many experts jumped out over the weekend saying this won't cause global financial crisis. Just minor ripple effect.

The Chinese Yuan will soon replace the US dollar as the world’s currency. That would give China more control over its economy. As China’s economic might grows, it is taking steps to make it happen. It is inevitable.
Answer : Are you sure! Keeping Yuan is a suicidal thing to do for any country! China will hold you hostage if you keep your reserve in Yuan! Yeah, US dollar is garbage but you can easily sell off your dollar reserve unlike Yuan! You cannot trust Yuan as you really don't know if it's value is true as China does not disclosure it's financial position to the world! It's all big baloney! The only reason China able to hold well is because of the solid political stability Ccp enjoying back home!
Haha, KYY hold 86.9 million of Xingquan at cost of RM 15.8 million to him.
(1) My cost is 17.005 X 0.70 = Rm 11.9 million and the price is falling rapidly ever since my purchase.
As you know, Xingquan has been selling around 10- 12 sen per share for a long time and I bought 19.4 million shares at an average cost of 11 sen per share.
(2) My total cost is 19.4 X 0.11 = Rm 2,13 million.
When SC gave notice of suspension, its price plunged to trade between 2-5 sen per share and I bought 50.5 million shares, almost all the shares traded during those few days.
(3) My total cost is 50,5 X .035 = Rm 1.77 million.
The total of (1) + (2) + (3) totalling 86.9 million shares costing Rm Rm 15.8 million
May be you can call up Chan & Associates to ask what is the status now?
Xingquan delisted from Bursa
This reminds me of Xingquan International Sports Holdings delisted from Bursa Malaysia for noncompliance with SC listing rules. The company failed to submit audited annual report. CIMB was the underwriter at Rm 1.60 for its IPO and the company raised more than Rm 100 million. CIMB invited me to visit its factories in Xiamen, China. I have more than 100 million shares and I have engaged a legal firm called Chan & Associates to recover my loss. Unfortunately, this is another one of my bad investments.
I asking because recent finding of red shares listed in USA actually do not have legally ownership to anything in china altought appear to be. The devils is in the details,
Poor Grandpa Koon! Got conned by China! But still praising China! Maybe he should keep Yuan as well! Who knows can pass it down to his grandchidren children as well!
Bursa cant do anything when you checked their account the board will say its china ccp government confidential so bursa can mess up with ccp? When i looked the video clips that ccp police went to evergrande investor house to caught because she had protested and viral in social media. She screamed loadly why she was the one being caught not the evergrande boss. If i were the police i would said that you know which country you are living? is communism. you need to clear in mind that when party need money yours private wealth isnt allowed. Investing in bond is capitalism not the ccp principal of ruling country. Gao Dim. Actually if you really love ccp no need to invest in Bursa that is small market. CCP market is more funs.

Answer : Yeah! That's why most countries very doubtful keeping Yuan as their currency! Better keep pound, Yen or dollar!
