    Chinese Navy (PLAN) News & Discussions

    But PLAN doesn't have what USN possesses, which is a huge array of bases worldwide, ready to equip and supply. Along with that, if lasers and Railguns do indeed become mature, they could only reliably be powered by nuclear power.

    Chinese Navy (PLAN) News & Discussions

    Russians have had difficulties with pretty much all of their Naval vessels, so the Russian experience to keep these destroyers going, which are more than 2 decade old, is no sign of anything. Nuclear Power provides pretty much endless supply of power, and is the only one that can do so. This...

    Alibaba is making its own neural network chip

    This is highly misleading, since an AI ASIC should never be compared with CPU or GPUs. If they want they should compare with other companies' ASICs like Cambricon, Deephi, Horizon Robotics, Bitmain etc. Wouldn't matter. It doesn't has access to US companies. And, Alibaba, for a company its...

    China's Huawei posts 28 percent rise in 2017 net profit

    Dude, Huawei has done this despite the ban in US. If there was no ban, Huawei would have been far bigger. The worry now is that US is now asking its allies to follow its policies. Australia is already framing laws that can give it power to ask its telecom operators to not choose Huawei. If...
