China 🇨🇳 builds planetary defence team as concerns grow on asteroid strike in 2032 - Manthink - 12-02-2025
China has started assembling a planetary defence team to counter the threat of near-Earth asteroids following the discovery of a large asteroid that could strike our planet in seven years. Weeks after the asteroid's discovery, a special projects centre at China's State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence posted a recruitment notice listing three available roles for a "planetary defence post".
China is also part of the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) and the Space Mission Planning Advisory Group (SMPAG), two international bodies that coordinate the sharing of information and response to asteroids and other near-Earth objects.
The 2024 YR4 asteroid, estimated to be 40x90m wide, is big enough to cause localised damage in the event of an impact with Earth.

According to NASA's JP latest update shows the trajectory of asteriod 2024 YR4 is closest in 2032 has increased from 1% to 2.3% chance of colliding Earth in 2032.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 reaches level 3 on the Torino Scale in Feb 2025.

If it slams into Singapore there will be no more bickering about PAP in Sgtalk and all the ermaos silenced?
