China launches 1st high-throughput communications satellite

Shijian-13, China’s first high-throughput communications satellite, was launched from Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest Sichuan Province at 7:04pm local time Wednesday. The satellite, which has a higher message capacity than the combined capacity of all of China's previous communications satellites, is capable of providing better internet access on planes and high-speed trains, as well as in less-developed regions, Xinhua reported. The satellite, with a transfer capacity of 20 Gbps and a designed orbital life of 15 years, was sent into orbit on a Long March-3B carrier rocket. It was the 246th flight mission by a Long March carrier rocket.

Hu earned a good salary at around 9,500 RMB (1,500 USD) a month, but it still made buying an apartment anywhere else but in the farthest suburbs an impossibility. Property prices in China have been rising at nearly 10% a year. An average apartment in the city of Hangzhou was listed at over 275,000 USD, over 15 times Hu’s annual income.

One may expect that a young man of Hu’s age might be content to rent. In China, however, one of the conditions for marriage is often home ownership, preferably one that is move-in-ready after the big day. Having no apartment of his own was a point of shame for Hu.

It might be a good strategy anyway. Thanks to the insane communist one-child policy and the cultural bias against girls, there will be a dearth of females in China.

"about 118 boys are born [in China] for every 100 girls, against a global average of 103 to 107."

(As Mark Steyn pointed out, unless China wants to be the first gay superpower since Sparta, they need to think again)

Note - The aim of Chinese carriers differs from the American aim. The Chinese aim is not power projection as such, but more control of the immediate areas in the China Sea and around Asia. Using their carriers in conjunction with the man-man islands in the South China Sea should enable China to effectively control trade routes and security.

 

China launches its 1st domestically-built aircraft carrier 

China has transferred its first indigenously built aircraft carrier into the water, expanding its fleet to two such vessels.

The new carrier is slightly larger than the Liaoning, China’s first aircraft carrier, constructed by the Soviet Union as a Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier and refitted by the Chinese. The new carrier weighs 70,000 tons and is 315 meters long and 75 meters wide, South China Morning Post reported.
