Chinese scientists claim to have developed heat-seeking hypersonic missiles - beating US to the punch
US General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said earlier this year during an interview that China’s hypersonic test in August was close to a “Sputnik moment” for the US.
Hope China will be able to make available cheap house-maid robots within the next 2 decades.
One that can do house chores, cooking and care-taking of bedridden elderly.
This will help address their rapidly ageing population.
Such home robots will definitely be cheaper in the long run vs a human helper even if it cost S$20-30K for one then.
e.g. Heard of a recent case where the helper started complaining of pelvic area discomfort. Just half a dozen of GP visits (in a HDB estate) clocked $600+, and this is even b4 reaching hospital for a thorough check. Was also told the hospitalisation coverage by a maid insurance with "max" coverage is a mere $20K. Thus for serious ailments like cancer, unlucky employers here will have to pay a bomb in the "unsubsidised" medical care here if they are not able to send the helper back home in time. Not a problem for the elites, but the huge medical bill can potentially bankrupt many middle-class families.
Many household chores (like cleaning, laundry washing and bathing disabled persons) do not require high precision.
The cheaper soft robotic hands and arms, using pneumatic or artificial muscles, will come in handy.

as trump hinted, russia gain hypersonic technology during obama time, china even later.
china has not invented anything in modern technology, even today their main & key component of their products, almost all rely on US & western world.
copy cat, steal, rob, buy, tat is all they do.
US has latest weapons which china has never heard of. whatever china has never fought any recent war.
Trump hints that Obama colluded with Russia and gave them the Hypersonic missiles technology
hypersonic missile? another copy cat or steal technology by ccp china, said 100x, china has not invented 1 modern technology, either steal, copy, buy or grab.
china manufacturing is still rely on labour intensive, most advanced & precision parts will never produce in china.
whether IC, lcd, mechatronic, lens, optical, equipments, tools.
huawei, xiaomi hp, 90% value of their parts are imported, probably only casing & low end no value elctronic parts are made inside china.
now even worse, most foreign factories are moving out due to communism, china is no more a world factory today & will dive down in time to come.

Now 6G, huawei can proceed with their own different 6G if they want or for china only, not compatible with outside world.
also space X starlink to cover every inch of earth surface, china has no sight.
china can wait to steal or copy cat if they pay more money or send more sex slavery to the world.
6G? western world already join hands on 6G standard, china can have their own which is not compatible but china has no IC to launch their system, only on paper to shout, just like almost all their BS use powerpoint presentation without real thing.
Taiwan also join in 6G project to help to realise the system physically.
japan has weapons to deal with hypersonic missile now to be installed.
160km/h Guangzhou subway.
With such a speed, Spore don't a HSR line, just a similar high speed subway connecting JB to JE (, Sci Pk1/Mediapolis, City, Bedok, Changi Airport) will be very good.
