Quiet lawns and playgrounds, students riding bicycles... it seemed to be an ordinary campus scene at the Shanghai University of Engineering Science on Thursday morning, but changes were taking place invisibly because of 5G.

Currently, 98.6 percent of the Shanghai-based university is covered by 5G signals, which means that people who have 5G mobile phones can download a high-definition video within seconds in the university.

The "5G university" is the latest effort made by domestic telecom operators to set up their 5G test zones. China Mobile on February 18 turned the Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station into a "5G railway station" by building an ultra-fast 5G network there.

So far, five outdoor 5G base stations have been built at the Shanghai University of Engineering Science by the Shanghai subsidiary of China Unicom. Some of those stations are on the rooftops of campus buildings alongside existing 4G base stations, according to information provided by the company to the Global Times.

The company has also worked with the university to set up a 5G+artificial intelligence application innovation laboratory that officially opened on Wednesday morning. The research team in the laboratory will focus on the industrial applications of 5G networks.

Such applications include panoramic monitoring and tracking, autonomous driving, drone inspection and so forth, said Fang Zhijun, dean of the School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering at the Shanghai University of Engineering Science.

Some of those applications have already been tried out, with quite impressive results. For example, a Beijing-based hospital carried out the country's first 5G-based remote surgery on March 16, according to domestic media reports.

Those applications will also be used in different scenarios on the campus, such as remote, real-time teaching and unmanned security vehicles that will patrol the university, a representative of the school told the Global Times on condition of anonymity.

But for the most popular application of 5G networks - mobile phones - there still seems to be some distance to go.

"The government has not issued any temporary or permanent 5G licenses to domestic telecom operators, which would allow them to put 5G systems into large-scale commercial use. Besides, no 5G mobile phones are on the market yet," domestic telecom expert Xiang Ligang told the Global Times.

But both the government and companies are pushing for the goal of 5G commercial use. Chinese technology company Huawei launched a foldable 5G-ready smartphone priced at about 2,299 euros ($2,620) on the eve of the 2019 Mobile World Congress on February 24.

The government might also issue the first temporary 5G licenses in May for domestic telecom operators to carry out internal tests on 5G mobile phones, Xiang said.

"Once 5G is put into large-scale commercial use in China, its applications will largely change people's lives. For example, there may be autonomous driving delivery vehicles with the help of 5G networks, which might replace the numerous couriers we see nowadays," Xiang said.

China’s three carriers to invest $5b in 5G networks in 2019

Source: Globaltimes.cn Published: 2019/3/22

China’s three major telecoms operators forecast a total investment of about 34 billion yuan ($5 billion) in 5G networks in 2019, reflecting a cautious attitude, as industry analysts predict investment in the next generation of wireless technology will be a long-term process.

China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom will continue deploying 5G networks, with a total investment less than 34.2 billion yuan, which is in line with their pragmatic and cautious strategies, according to media reports on Friday.

As 2019 is a crucial year for further development of 5G, China Mobile is expected to establish between 30,000 to 50,000 base stations while maintaining almost the same spending level as that in 2018, the reports said.

China Telecom unveiled its 5G budget of 9 billion yuan this year. In 2018, it has established over 1,000 5G base stations in 17 cities in the country, and forecast to see about 20,000 base stations this year, with an expanded network trial scale.

Carriers must first follow a reasonable speed in network construction while controlling overall spending to avoid excessive costs in 5G networks, Li Zhen, an industry expert at Beijing-based CCID Consulting, told the Global Times on Friday.

“As a new technology, operations are intended to be more cautious about unknown business sectors,” he said.

China Unicom will invest about 6 billion to 8 billion yuan in 5G networks in 2019, and its chairman Wang Xiaochu noted that it is not the time for massive investment as the industry needs to further explore business models.

“5G investment will last 10 years, considering the investment speed in 4G,” an industry insider surnamed Huang told the Global Times on Friday.

Meanwhile, a large scale of end use has not appeared, which will also weigh on profitability of operators, he said. “It’s a pre-commercial time for 5G, so it’s a pre-commercial investment model,” Huang added.

China’s first 5G user is registered in Yunnan

(Global Times) 15:24, March 25, 2019

Zhang Kaimiao, of Southwest China, has become the country's first registered 5G user. Zhang, a resident of Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province, will be able to use the first 5G devices and she needs not to pay a bill to China Mobile for a year.

Zhang could also become the world's first genuine 5G user, and the early adoption of the new technology in China will lead the country into a new era of 5G development, according to industry insiders.

Zhang became China Mobile's first registered user of 5G phones, which means she has been granted the privilege of being the first to use 5G services when they are available in Yunnan Province. In addition, she will also be able to enjoy the 5G global bundle plan provided by China Mobile for one year free of charge.

As of March 6, the Yunnan branch of China Mobile had set up 33 5G base stations in the province and signed strategic cooperation plans with local governments, according to industry news site cww.net.cn.

Trial commercial use of 5G is scheduled to begin this year, while official 5G commercial use will begin in 2020, according to media reports.

5G will also be prioritized in certain areas, including key industrial and tourist parks, as well some key industries such as long-distance medicine.

China has seen rapid deployment of 5G technology. For instance, China Mobile's Beijing branch will set up full coverage for 5G signals within the city's Fifth Ring Road by the end of this year, while Hangzhou and Ningbo in East China's Zhejiang Province and Zhengzhou in Central China's Henan Province have also planned 5G coverage of their main urban areas in 2019, according to the reports.

Officials, industry leaders and operators discuss 5G at Boao

By Guo Meiping

‍A panel discussion titled "5G: Bring Things to Life with the IoT" was held during this year's Boao Forum for Asia to a full house in Boao, south China's Hainan Province on Thursday.

Panelists, including officials, industry leaders and operators, shared their thoughts on various aspects of the 5G industry.

China to accelerate the development of intelligent roads

Unlike the 3G and 4G eras which have multiple standards, the world is finally unified behind one standard for the 5G era.

"China made contributions in the standard-making process, but it's not in a dominant position," Miao Wei, China's Minister of Industry and Information Technology of China, said during the panel discussion.

According to the minister, China accounts for 30 percent of all 5G-standard-related patents registered in Europe.

"Although it seems like China might have an advantage in terms of the number of patents… the other 70 percent are in hands of institutes and companies of other countries," Miao said.

"(The united 5G standard) is a result of the joint efforts of all the nations."

Miao believes that 20 percent of future 5G applications will be between people, and 80 percent between things.

He thinks highly of the Mobile Internet of Things (MIoT).

"The biggest market for MIoT might be Internet of Vehicles (IoV)," Miao said, adding that the application of autonomous cars driven by 5G might be the earliest to be realized.

IoV involves communications between people and cars, cars and cars, and cars and roads. The amount of data transmitted between vehicles is much bigger than those between people.

Cars are always in a state of motion. Thus, fixed-network services are not reliable.

The minister unveiled plans in association with the Ministry of Transport to accelerate the process of making China's roads smart.

Miao said that 5G will play a big role in transmitting signals between traffic lights to cars.

"This can reduce traffic jams and make the traffic lights more precise. The efficiency of transportation can be greatly improved."


Manufacturers' strategy under 5G

Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, is optimistic about the application of 5G when it comes to the internet.

"We used to focus on using smartphones to connect to other devices," he said. "We have connected more than 140 million Internet of Things (IoT) devices under this strategy and the number ranks first globally in consumer IoT."

Lei believes that Xiaomi will see better development in the 5G era.

When asked about whether the company has plans to develop cars, Lei said that they will be focusing on 5G smartphones for now.

Xiaomi launched its first 5G smartphone at this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC) held in Barcelona in February, where Huawei released its 5G phone as well.

Yang Chaobin, president of Huawei's 5G product line, said that two issues have been solved after the release of the first 5G standard in 2018 – bandwidth and high speed, and the security architecture of 5G.

"We have been deployed 150,000 base stations together with China Mobile and LG," said Yang. "By using 5G, users can eventually experience 10-times faster speed."

In terms of security, Yang said that regulatory agencies and companies around the world have defined security architecture that is impeccable.

"The standard of 4G was released in 2008, but the first 4G cellphone came out in 2011," said Yang, adding the situation is different in 5G.

"The standard of 5G came out in 2018, and we can see that almost every company at this year's MWC in Barcelona brought their 5G phones for commercial use."

'4G is still critical'

It's hard for 5G devices to show their power without 5G networks.

As one of the three major operators of China, China Mobile provided a brief plan for commercial 5G.

Li Huidi, vice president of China Mobile, speaks at a panel discussion of Boao Forum for Asia 2019 in Boao, south China's Hainan Province, March 28, 2019. /VCG Photo

Li Huidi, vice president of China Mobile, said that synergistic development of 5G+4G is still critical.

"4G is the largest network in the world with more than two million base stations…it is important in terms of providing services of a variety of applications."

Li also mentioned 5G+AI as one of China Mobile's strategies to provide more and better experience to emerging technology such as IoT, cloud computing and edge computing.

China is expected to start the pre-commercial use of 5G, mostly on smartphones, in the second half of 2019.

And the three major telecom operators of China, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, plan to launch commercial 5G services in 2020, and some 5G applications of the Internet of Vehicles will be realized in the same year.

Wenchi Chen, chairman & CEO of VIA Group, and Yunmo Sung, minister of Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, also shared their views in 5G on this panel.

Shanghai's 5G network starts test runs

2019-03-31 09:14:08 Xinhua Editor : Li Yan

A 5G network in Shanghai's Hongkou District, backed by Chinese telecom giant China Mobile, started trial runs on Saturday.

Wu Qing, Shanghai's vice mayor, made the network's first video call using a Huawei Mate X, a foldable 5G smartphone, at the launch ceremony.

A total of 228 5G base stations have been deployed in Hongkou, making it the first district in Shanghai fully covered by a 5G network and a gigabit broadband network.

Zhang Jianming, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization, said the city aims to build over 10,000 5G base stations by the end of the year, and the number is expected to exceed 30,000 by 2021.

Zhang added that the 5G network would provide solutions to industrial manufacturing, internet-connected cars, healthcare and city management.

Shanghai's latest move adds to a recent trend of Chinese cities adopting the 5G network to meet public demands.

In late January, an airport in south China's Guangdong Province launched a 5G base station. An indoor 5G network will be installed in the Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station by the end of this year.

Test data showed that 5G network is able to provide a peak single-user download speed of 1.6 Gbps, nearly 16 times faster than that of 4G service.

Shanghai claimed it has developed the world's first district with both 5G coverage and a broadband gigabit network.

Trial runs of the 5G network, backed by telecom carrier China Mobile, officially started Saturday in Shanghai's Hongkou district, where 5G base stations had been deployed over the last three months to ensure full coverage.

During a launch ceremony, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the network's first 5G video call on a

Huawei Mate X, the world's first 5G foldable, AI phone.

When fully operational, subscribers stand to avail of the same service without having to upgrade their SIM cards.

The city aims to build over 10,000 5G base stations by the end of this year, and that figure is expected to surpass 30,000 in 2021, said Zhang Jianming, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Economic and Informatization Commission, the local telecom and industry regulator.

A comprehensive deployment of the network, which transmits at least 10 times faster than 4G at peak rates, will help develop industrial manufacturing, Internet-connected cars, healthcare and smart city management, Zhang said.

Zhang added that these are all strategically critical industries for both Shanghai and China.

"Shanghai also targets to nurture over 100 innovative companies specialized in exploring 5G-related application scenarios, whose industrial output is expected to reach 100 billion yuan (14.9 billion U.S. dollars) by 2021," Zhang said.

"China Mobile has invested the most in Shanghai to date to help the city expand its 5G trial network and related applications, because it is the most developed city in China with rather solid infrastructure in many aspects," said Jian Qin, China Mobile vice-president.

According to Liang Zhiqiang, China Mobile Shanghai's deputy general manager, the city's sound economic environment, systematic industrial outlay, huge market potential and vast talent pool have given it a unique edge in information technology.

In February Shanghai announced a 5G deployment program in Hongqiao Railway Station, where users will be able to watch live broadcasts of town hall meetings and avail of lightning-quick downloads of high-resolution movies, when mobile devices such as 5G-powered phones and tablets become available.

Aside from speed, 5G also enables high-definition transmissions in real time (which means low latency) and will bolster development in the Internet of Things industry.

Guangzhou Court, China Unicom Use 5G to Conduct Remote Trials

(Yicai Global) April 2 -- A court in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou is adopting China Unicom's fifth-generation wireless technologies to facilitate remote trials.

Unicom, officially China United Network Communications Group, penned a deal with the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court yesterday, the telecoms carrier told Yicai Global. The firm is building a 5G base station outside the court that will cover the building's entire 4,000 square meter area.

China Unicom began testing its remote trial technology with the Guangzhou Internet Court a month ago, eliminating the need for plaintiffs and defendants to physically appear in the courthouse. Judges were able to lead the trials using ultra-high-definition audio and video transmissions running through 5G.

China's three major mobile operators, Unicom, China Mobile and China Telecom, have all been testing various indoor and outdoor 5G applications in major cities recently. The country hopes to have 100,000 new 5G base stations up and running this year, compared with a global total of about 300,000 to 400,000, according to research from investment bank CSC Financial.

5G will need twice as many base stations as 4G, so there will be large-scale investment, CSC's report said, adding that operators are battling to get the most stations up and running.

New encryption technology available for 5G networks can also help protect the privacy of parties in court, China Unicom said, adding that 5G trials also use speech recognition technology to created automated records of proceedings

The carrier plans to set up 3,000 base stations in Guangzhou ahead of World Telecommunications Day on May 17, General Manager Kong Xiangbin told Yicai Global, adding that the company will be the first to cover the city's urban area.

China Unicom has worked with the country's biggest telecoms equipment makers, Huawei and ZTE, and several terminal manufacturers in order to test 5G in several Chinese cities this year.

At present, terminal 5G download speeds can reach about 750 megabits per second. But this could reach as much as 1 gigabit per second, or six times 4G speeds, due to a reduced user-end transmission delay, the firm's test results show.

Chinese doctors conduct cardiac surgery aided by 5G

Xinhua, April 4, 2019

Surgeons in the southern Chinese city of Gaozhou successfully conducted cardiac endoscopic surgery with help from experts 400 km away via a 5G wireless network on Wednesday.

The surgery was performed on a 41-year-old female patient suffering from congenital heart disease and lasted nearly four hours.

The entire process was transmitted via live feed to an expert team in Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, located in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province.

The 5G wireless network, which offered a transmission speed 10 times faster than a 4G service, was stable throughout the surgery, according to technicians.

Guo Huiming, head of the expert team, monitored the whole process on a large screen, which also showed the patient's vital signs and a model of her heart generated by virtual reality (VR) technology.

At one point, Guo instructed the chief surgeon in Gaozhou to move the cutting point 3 cm upward to avoid harming the nerve.

"With 5G technology, doctors who are 400 km apart can cooperate to conduct a surgery," said Yu Xueqing, president of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital. "It saves a lot of time and enables doctors to treat more patients."

China Tower and Huawei Conduct Joint Innovation Test on 5G Energy Solutions

Apr 09, 2019

[Hangzhou, China, April 9, 2019] China Tower and Huawei have announced the completion of a joint innovation test on 5G energy solutions. The results showed that by using innovative technologies such as intelligent peak shaving, intelligent voltage boosting, and intelligent energy storage, it is possible to achieve an efficient, low-cost site deployment without changing the mains, power distribution, and cabinets in the evolution to 5G. The joint innovation results provide insight into the power supply mode for 5G sites and demonstrate the value of the joint efforts being made by the two parties to promote the maturity of the 5G power industry.

Outdoor site test for Zhejiang Branch of China Tower in Hangzhou Olympic Sports Expo Center

With network capacity set to increase rapidly in the 5G era, the power consumption required for a single 5G site is much higher than a 4G site. In addition, a large number of end sites will be deployed, causing the power consumption of the entire network to increase exponentially. To reduce site construction costs, sharing must come first. As the coordinator of China's tower infrastructure construction and sharing, China Tower faces a series of challenges in 5G construction:

• The power consumption of 5G base stations greatly increases, with existing base stations face capacity expansion and reconstruction. However, mains capacity expansion costs are high and take a long time, which severely affects the pace of 5G deployment while greatly increasing investment. In addition, the DC power system, batteries, and air conditioners at most existing sites need to be expanded and reconstructed.
• In the remote scenario of 5G high-power active antenna units (AAUs), the cable loss is high. The remote voltage is even lower than the operating voltage of the AAU in some cases. As a result, the AAU cannot work.

To address the issues in 5G construction and O&M and formulate a comprehensive power supply solution for 5G sites, China Tower and Huawei agreed a joint innovation initiation in December 2018 and set up a joint working team to lower investment, reduce OPEX, and achieve intelligent O&M. The 5G energy joint innovation test was conducted on multiple topics, such as insufficient mains capacity in special scenarios, peak load shaving, and intelligent battery management and accurate configuration.

The entire process, from 5G network power supply requirement reviews and test case designs to comprehensive tests, was conducted an expert team from China Tower and Huawei Network Energy Product Line. Based on the industry's first 5G-oriented power supply solution provided by Huawei, the test, which was conducted in Hangzhou, China verifies the functions of intelligent peak shaving, intelligent voltage boosting, and intelligent energy storage.

The site in Hefeng Village is used as an example. The average load is 1.4 kW, while the peak load is 2.7 kW, and the AC power limit is 1.6 kW. When 5G services are simulated, the peak load exceeds the power limit and lithium batteries start to power the load to achieve intelligent peak shaving. When the load is light, lithium batteries immediately switch to the equalized charging mode. Huawei's 5G Power Solution intelligently controls batteries and air conditioners based on a sites power consumption and mains capacity to achieve "no mains change" and thereby reduces the capital investment when sites evolve to 5G.

In addition, the team also tested various intelligent features such as intelligent solar access, hybrid use of lead-acid and lithium batteries (battery pooling), and mixed use of old and new power supplies (power pooling) to verify the on-demand battery and power supply configuration and modular evolution.

"This joint innovation provides insight into the 5G power solution of China Tower," said Tong Kebo, General Manager of the Technical Support Center, Zhejiang Branch of China Tower. "Intelligent peak shaving and voltage boosting addresses long periods and high costs caused by mains and cable reconstruction. The hybrid use of smart lithium batteries and old lead-acid batteries refines our backup power supply and maximizes the value of our investment. The success of this innovative test breaks the limitations of traditional solutions on 5G site construction and O&M, and is of great significance for large-scale 5G commercial use by China Tower."

The joint innovation test between Huawei and China Tower on 5G energy solutions will help build sustainable infrastructure in the 5G era, strengthen the ability to cope with climate change, and contribute to the achievement of Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure and Goal 13: Climate Action in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2018, Huawei 5G Power Solution won the "5G Green Energy Industry Strength Award" by People's Posts and Telecommunications News, an authoritative newspaper in China's communication and information industry.

China Mobile, CICT Open Country's First Smart 5G Production Line

(Yicai Global) April 10 -- China Information Communication Technology has opened China's first 5G-based smart production line in tandem with the Hubei arm of China Mobile, one of the nation's three state-backed telecoms operators.

The facility, based in Wuhan, Hubei's provincial capital, can improve efficiency by more than 30 percent, CICT told Yicai Global today. It uses robotic arms to weld and assemble communications antennae, and transmits its operating status in real time through fifth-generation networks, allowing for full control via the cloud without human intervention.

Similar 5G industrial internet technologies can be used in to build systems for production management centers, track deliveries and monitor high-definition surveillance, the firm added.

Wuhan was one of China's first cities to start trialing 5G networks, and had already build 144 outdoor base stations for testing as of the end of last year. It plans to have another 2,000 up and running this year, with CNY1 billion (USD149 million) in support from China Mobile.

The two firms also opened their joint 5G industrial internet lab today, which is dedicated to using data-based technology to connect design, production and sales departments to improve efficiency at small- and medium-sized firms in traditional industries.

Mobile communications technology to be used to crack down on defection and smuggling

China is setting up a checkpoint equipped with fifth-generation (5G) mobile communications technology at its border with North Korea to crack down on defections and smuggling, China’s Legal Daily and Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post reported on Apr. 9.

According to Legal Daily, the local border patrol team for the city of Tonghua in China’s Jilin Province signed an agreement with China Mobile, the country’s biggest telecommunication company, on Mar. 23 to build China’s first 5G checkpoint at Yunfeng near Unbong Lake in North Korea’s Chagang Province. The checkpoint is to be built in Ji’an, a border city (under Tonghua jurisdiction) located on the Yalu (Amnok) River. Although the region is a major base for North Korean defectors traveling into China and a frequent location for smuggling, authorities have had difficulty cracking down in the past due to the rugged topography and broad extent of area to be monitored.

Once the 5G checkpoint is in place, policing is expected to intensify substantially as patrol team members use virtual reality glasses for real-time monitoring and link up with patrol drones and nighttime surveillance monitors over the 5G network. If the pilot checkpoint is deemed efficient, the effort may eventually be expanded to cover the entire North Korea-China border.

Chinese authorities’ decision to set up the checkpoint appeared motivated by fears of a worsening food shortage in North Korea and increase in defections following the second North Korea-US summit in Hanoi last February, which ended without producing an agreement, the South China Morning Post said.

According to the Legal Daily report, Yunfeng border police would trial the use of new technologies such as virtual reality glasses, simultaneously updating logbooks, drones and 4K night-vision monitors to patrol the border when the 5G network is fully established.

It said the new technologies would help to resolve the problem of blind spots as a result of the complex geography and challenging terrain in the area.

“It’s actually very difficult for Chinese border police to deal with the North Korean refugees because many of them carry rifles or even machine guns.”

1. Introduction

I will try to develop with more detail, as I was very busy last Wednesday.

Heinous speech directed against China betrays the French congenital racism, and inferiority complex.

And the most intolerable for Frenchmen is to see their international status shrinking inexorably since the end of WWII.


2. French Aerospace During WWI

But wait, this also is self-propaganda of the French education and media. What was the real status of the French before WWII?

Below, the proof that the French first aerospace efforts were only blunt plagiarism of Chinese origin inventions, and for this very reason, uncredited by the French.

The twelve prototypes of Louis Blériot

Starting from February 1907, Blériot had designed another airplane, made in the workshop of Neuilly. Like the type V, the Blériot VI includes a fuselage of square section stretched by cloth-like cord, with wings of varnished paper

Varnished paper is a technology so Chinese, that the French had to recruit Annamese experts from their French Indochina colony, to produce their airplanes during the WWI!!!

3. French Aerospace During WWII

Moreover, the French have been beaten during WWII by the Empire of Japan, where the French position at the railhead at Lạng Sơn was surrounded by Japanese armour and forced to surrender on 25 September 1940. This as a prelude to the full occupation of French Indochina, when 140,000 Japanese troops invaded southern French Indochina on 28 July 1941.

French troops and the civil administration were allowed to remain, albeit as puppets of their Japanese masters.

4. French Aerospace After WWII

But this minor incident is nothing compared to the epochal French defeat during the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in May 1954.

A defeat that signaled the start of the disintegration of all the French colonial empire, and its downfall as a world superpower, and the rise of the world communist movement.


But wait, this also is self-propaganda of the French education and media. The Soviet Union and communism were only used as the usual useful decoys in this defeat.

As celebrated in Dien Bien Phu, space mind-control FUGOs have put an end to the French pipe dreams of world superpower. FUGO technologies captured by U.S. forces in Japan at the end of WWII in 1945.

5. Conclusion

Therefore it is pointless for the Europeans to contest the Japanese 4th place as a space superpower. Europe lags light years behind. Over 12 millenia of recorded human history, East Asia has always lead in the field of science and technology, at the exception of the last 5 centuries, that is during the occupation of the barbarian Northmen (Mongol scourge).

And those who benefited most from the technological plunder and dissemination westward of stolen treasure trove of Chinese inventions during the Pax Mongolica were the Arabs and further west the backward Europeans (rocketry, flight, ocean going ship and compass navigation, etc).

Outrageous and abusive are the conclusions drawn by these Europeans, that went to describe their rising on the world stage as an indigenous "Renaissance", totally turning a blind eye on the massive technological transfer from the Mongols.

The Renaissance Era in reference to...the Roman Era that also originated in Asia Minor and Middle East with Etruscan and Phoenician core technologies.

So puny were the Romans barbarians unable to invent by themselves the alphabet that they could only steal it from the Etruscans after occupying and settling in the Etruscan capital city, that was named...Rome(!), as a text book barbarian vagrant tribe, and shipbuilding from the Carthaginians by reverse engineering an abandoned shipwreck!

China as the current 3rd space superpower, even 2nd within a decade, and Japan as the 4th space superpower is only a start. North Korea will soon be the 5th, with an indigenous spacewalk in 2022. Then India with an indigenous female astronaut in 2022. France at the forefront of technological position among the Europeans can only afford the 6th world place at best (maybe only 7th if South Korea remains independent and fails to be absorbed by North Korea).

After two centuries, the days of White Viking World Hegemony pipe dream is finally over. And never to return.

Deal with it.
