🇨🇳 🇺🇸 Here's why China was largely unaffected by Friday's IT outage

🔶️ While businesses in the U.S. and Europe woke up Friday to a global IT outage that disrupted airports and hotels, China went into its weekend largely unaffected.

🔶️ "The impact of Friday's CrowdStrike incident on China was very small, with almost no impact on domestic public life," Gao Feng, senior research director at Gartner, said in Chinese, translated by CNBC. "Only some foreign companies in China were affected."

🔶️ "This is partly because many of the security threats that CrowdStrike is designed to protect against originate from China," said Rich Bishop, CEO of AppInChina, which publishes international software in China.

🔶️ Microsoft products are widely used in China — Windows had about 87% of personal computer shipments in the mainland last year, according to Canalys. That's higher than the 79% share for the rest of the world in the first quarter of this year, the research firm said.

🔶️ "There's been very little impact because CrowdStrike is barely used in China," said Rich Bishop, CEO of AppInChina, which publishes international software in China.

🔶️ "This is partly because many of the security threats that CrowdStrike is designed to protect against originate from China," he said, adding that Chinese companies typically use products from Tencent, 360 and other businesses.

🔶️ CrowdStrike said in its latest annual cyber threat report that last year, "China-nexus adversaries continued to operate at an unmatched pace across the global landscape, leveraging stealth and scale to collect targeted group surveillance data, strategic intelligence and intellectual property."

☢️ 🇨🇳 Chinese nuclear reactor is completely meltdown-proof

🔶️ The first ever full-scale demonstration of a nuclear reactor designed to passively cool itself in an emergency was a success, showing that it should be possible to build nuclear plants without the risk of dangerous meltdown

🔶️ A large-scale nuclear power station in China is the first in the world to be completely impervious to dangerous meltdowns, even during a full loss of external power. The design can’t be adapted to existing nuclear reactors around the world, but could be a blueprint for future ones.

🔶️ A relatively new kind of reactor design, called a pebble-bed reactor (PBR), has the advantage of being passively safe, which means that if power for cooling systems is lost, then the reactor can safely shut down by itself. Rather than use highly energy-dense fuel rods like many other reactor designs, PBRs use a large number of low-energy-density “pebbles” as fuel, which contain a small amount of uranium surrounded by graphite. This can help slow the nuclear reaction and withstand high temperatures.

🏭 🇨🇳 🇺🇸 China’s leaders are steering the nation into a de facto “war economy” － with Chinese characteristics, of course. | Thomas Hon Wing Polin

🔶️ That means it can also serve the 1.4 billion Chinese well if war didn’t break out.

🔶️ For if war did erupt, “economic, tech and military power” would precisely be the priorities. And that’s exactly what the just-finished CPC Central Committee Third Plenum has ordered.

🔶️ Given the US Empire’s relentless besiegement and persecution since 2018, Beijing’s decision was almost unavoidable... and essential.
As Master Sunzi (Sun Tzu) advised

The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy.
