Still waiting on "Hainan Island incident 2.0" 2 Chinese fighter jets buzz US Navy spy plane in East China Sea http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/07/24/2-chinese-fighter-jets-buzz-us-navy-spy-plane-in-east-china-sea.html quote:A pair of armed Chinese fighter jets flew dangerously close to a U.S. Navy reconnaissance plane flying in the East China Sea on Sunday afternoon, with the hazardous Chinese behavior nearly causing a "collision," two U.S. officials told Fox News. This is pretty much what happened in 2001. A Chinese J-8 fighter was hot-dogging it around an EP-3 and collided with it. The Chinese media said it was obvious that the US plane rammed the Chinese jet, and wouldn't return the crew until Bush gave an apology (which they then heavily edited for local consumption). Chinese J-8 Fighter (top speed: Mach 2.2) USN EP-3 (top speed: Mach 0.63)

This fan fiction gets me so hard and underestimates every single other nation in Asia and the world. quote:China may win this war easily, or it may turn out to be a difficult one. All depend on the level of intervention of the U.S. and Japan. If the U.S. and Japan play active roles in aiding Taiwan, or even make offensives into Chinese mainland, the war must become a difficult and prolonged total war. On the other hand, if the U.S. and Japan just watch and see, the Chinese army can easily defeat the Taiwanese. In this case, Taiwan can be under control within three months. Even if the U.S. and Japan step in in this stage, the war can be finished within six months. quote:After unification of Taiwan, China will take a rest for two years. During the period of recovery, China will send the ultimatum to countries surrounding the Islands with the deadline of 2028. The countries having disputes on the sovereignty of Islands can negotiate with China on preserving their shares of investments in these Islands by giving up their territorial claims. If not, once China declares war on them, their investments and economic benefits will be taken over by China.

Also is check-splitting not a thing in non-US? I think I have to exchange money with friends maybe 2-4 times a year at max, maybe double that if you include weed stuff. The idea of that being a super desirable feature for an electronic payment system is so weird to me.

It really depends where you are I guess, I thought it was standard in north american but I had some family come up to visit from Oakland and they were blown away that all the restaurants/pubs here would actually do separate bills and even go back and re-do them if you ask to split it up differently. She said in Oakland they just give you one and it's up to your table to figure out who owes what and they'll flat out tell you "no" if you ask to separate anything.

Weird, I have traveled all over the country for like 15 years and never really had any issue splitting checks with coworkers. The few places that would refuse to split checks seemed to all have a lot of signage to that effect so we never were caught by surprise. I would be amazed in the age of yelp that anyone would still refuse to split checks and deal with crazy people posting bad reviews.

LMFAO BBC news and China, same as always: China set to launch an 'unhackable' internet communication quote:As malicious hackers mount ever more sophisticated attacks, China is about to launch a new, "unhackable" communications network - at least in the sense that any attack on it would be quickly detected. Hummm yes that sure doesn't sound like a big load of hogwash But maybe if they could implement it in a mass scalable way, somehow, unlike everyone else; then, perhaps: quote:In the Jinan network, some 200 users from the military, government, finance and electricity sectors will be able to send messages safe in the knowledge that only they are reading them. Ahh, I see. In conclusion, to follow the great traditional Chinese essay structure: BBC posted:China's push in quantum communication means the country is taking huge strides developing applications that might make the increasingly vulnerable internet more secure.Applications that other countries soon might find themselves buying from China.

At least 5 QKD networks have been in operation up to this point, 2 in Europe, 1 in Japan, and 2 in the USA (one of which has been in operation since 2004) and that's just what a cursory glance at Wikipedia tells me Virtually all reporting on China is garbage
