China has simultaneously been holding military drills in the South and East China seas as well as the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, naval authorities said Monday, amid escalating tensions with Taiwan and the United States.
The authorities have prohibited ships from navigating in the waters where the exercises have been held. The exercises, being conducted by a command based in Fujian Province facing Taiwan, are apparently aimed at landing on the island.

9-27-20 The PLA has reportedly sent at least ten Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft to the southwest of Taiwan and a Y-9 reconnaissance aircraft to the east of Taiwan over the past week. These intel-gathering ops are preparing for possible real combat.
The message is clear, unification by force is near.
The head of the Portuguese diplomacy rejected U.S. meddling in his country´s relations with China, after the american ambassador to Lisbon warned that partnering with Chinese tech company Huawei on 5G could have “consequences” for Portugal´s Defense policy.
George Edward Glass
U.S. diplomat George Glass said in his interview that Portugal must choose between the “ally” United States and the “trading partner” China and stressed there may be security and defense consequences for the European country if it chooses to work with Beijing. Glass says the US preferred that Portugal did not have any Huawei 5G equipment, underlining that if the that happens, the relationship in Defense between Portugal and the United States will change. The American Ambassador says that the consequences of Portugal choosing to work with China will not be political, at least not immediately, but may have to do with NATO’s activity or the exchange of classified information. George Glass also threatens to end the distribution of natural gas through the port of Sines, if the construction of the new terminal is given to China.
A response from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Augusto Santos Silva, on the same day. “The Portuguese Government makes note of the statements […]. But the fundamental point is this: in Portugal, the decision-makers are the Portuguese authorities, who make the decisions that benefit Portugal, within the framework of the Constitution and Portuguese law and the powers that the law gives (…) relevant authorities”, Santos Silva said, quoted by Lusa news agency.
Pope Francis has reportedly refused to meet with Mike Pompeo to discuss a controversial accord between the Vatican and China, as the US Secretary of State visits Rome on Tuesday to drive home his warning that it endangers the “moral authority” of the Church. The details of the deal have never been made public, but it gave the Vatican a say in the appointment of Catholic bishops in China. Pope Francis also recognised eight bishops that had been appointed by Beijing without his approval.
9-26-20 The China-built Cauchari photovoltaic solar project in Jujuy Province, Argentina, the largest solar project in the country was put into use on Sat. The project is to bring self-sufficient electricity and an annual income of $50 million to the province.
The Cauchari solar project in Argentina’s northernmost province Jujuy is one of the biggest photovoltaic (PV) solar power projects in South America. Located at an elevation of more than 4km above the sea level, it is also the world’s highest-altitude solar power project. Construction on the 300MW Cauchari solar project phase one was started in October 2017, with an investment of £301m ($390m). The phase one was inaugurated after the completion of trial run in October 2019.
The 300MW Cauchari solar farm, with an estimated lifespan of 25 years, is expected to generate approximately 660GWh of clean electricity a year, which will be enough to power more than 160,000 households.
It is further planned for a 200MW expansion in the next phase to bring the total capacity to 500MW, which will be enough to meet the electricity needs of approximately 260,000 Argentine homes.
The 230 MeV superconducting cyclotron, in which 71 million proton beam clusters can be accelerated to about 60% of the speed of light per second, is continuously delivered. Such high-speed continuous proton beams provide new conditions for materials science and aerospace engineering for special materials, high-power devices, and radiation damage testing of space chips, as well as for radiobiological research on the biological effects of space radiation and DNA damage.
Guohwa No. 1, also known as CAP1400, is a large and advanced nuclear power model with independent intellectual property rights developed by China on the basis of the introduction and absorption of international advanced third-generation nuclear power technology and relying on the national large-scale advanced pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant major special project, with high safety factor, good economic performance and many innovative achievements.
China has completed the research and development of Guohe-1 国和一号 , a third-generation nuclear power technology with completely independent intellectual property rights. “As one of China’s 16 major science and technology projects, Guohe-1 represents the advanced level of third-generation nuclear power technology in the world today and is the latest achievement in China’s nuclear power technology research and development and industrial innovation.
9-27-20, “Jinghua” 京华号 extra-large diameter shield machine rolled off the production line in Changsha.
The shield machine is 150 meters long, weighs 4,300 tons and has a maximum excavation diameter of 16.07 meters.
This is China’s largest diameter shield machine developed so far, it will be involved in the construction of the sixth ring of the East Beijing reconstruction project after delivery.
Space station by China, Tiangong (Heavenly Palace) is expected to be operational by 2022. China is partnering with multiple nations, many of which are already partners of the US on the International Space Station, for conducting scientific experiments onboard Tiangong. These countries include France, Germany, Japan and even developing nations like Kenya and Peru.
“China is rapidly building what they call the ‘Chinese International Space Station,’ and they’re rapidly marketing that space station to all of our international partners,” said NASA chief Jim Bridenstine. “It would be a tragedy, if, after all of his time, and all of this effort, we were to abandon low Earth orbit and cede that territory.”
Bridenstine mentioned the US’ necessity in maintaining the position. He suggested that funds to NASA can eventually be used to pay companies to set up a space station. NASA would then act as “one of several customers” and hence will have a presence in the low-Earth orbit at a much lower cost.
He stressed that this was vital to “ultimately not cede that territory to another country that doesn’t have our interests at heart.”
NASA chief Jim Bridenstine, not a scientist but a scumbag politicianISS coming to an end
