British intelligence chief Jeremy Fleming has said #China can create a satellite system that can track the movements of people from space, and its own centralized digital currency can shield Beijing from sanctions in the event of an attack on Taiwan.
Femling claims that Beidou's satellite navigation system can be used not only to track people around the world, but also to "destroy" other countries' satellites. He called the plan one of the lessons China has learned from Russia's special military operation in Ukraine.

#China claims to have developed a new water-jet (or hydrojet) propulsion system that can provide greater thrust to submarines and reduce noisy vibrations by more than 90%, the South China Morning Post reported on Friday.
Part of the modern submarines have a propeller covered with a hull, which places the rotor in a conduit to generate a jet of water and thus propel the movement.
Between the rotor blades and the inner side of the duct is a free space—usually as little as a millimeter wide—that can produce a lot of turbulence or bubbles.
It is precisely this that slows down many submarines in use today, making them easily detectable.
Engineers from the 701 Institute, based in the Chinese city of Wuhan, claim to have solved this problem.

At meeting of the Arctic Circle Assembly, #China's Special Representative for Arctic Affairs Gao Feng said China wouldn't support the exclusion of Russia, which chairs the group until 2023, in order to punish it for SMO in Ukraine and transfer the chairmanship to Norway.
“There is no procedure for expelling someone from the Council. Therefore, I really doubt that the presidency can be transferred to anyone or Norway can take over,” Gao said.

Former US military pilot arrested on #China ties – media
The man’s detention comes as Beijing has reportedly hired veteran British pilots as instructors
A former American military pilot and flight instructor was arrested last week in Australia, and now faces extradition to the US, Reuters reported on Tuesday. It is unclear what kind of charges the man is facing, but sources say he was detained due to his past work in China.
Daniel Edmund Duggan was arrested on Friday by local police in rural New South Wales, Reuters reported, citing court records and police sources. Duggan was denied bail, and is now facing “formal extradition proceedings,” the news agency claimed.
A spokesman for the Office of the Attorney General in Washington confirmed that an individual was arrested in New South Wales on Friday “pursuant to a request from the United States of America,” but did not name the individual as Duggan. An “aviation source” told Reuters that Duggan was wanted by the FBI due to his work in China.
Duggan, described in the report as a “former US citizen” and current citizen of Australia, served as a pilot and flight instructor in the US Marine Corps for a decade, before moving to Australia and starting a business taking tourists on flights in fighter jets.
Duggan reportedly moved to China in 2014 and sold his Australian business shortly afterwards. He founded "a comprehensive aviation consultancy company” in 2017, and worked in Qingdao, China until the firm’s dissolution in 2020, according to his LinkedIn profile.
It is unclear whether the US has accused Duggan of working with the Chinese government or military, or whether espionage charges are among those being considered.
News of the pilot’s arrest came days after multiple Western media outlets reported China’s hiring of some 30 veteran British military pilots to teach trainees in the People’s Liberation Army. The practice is legal, but British defense officials are still concerned enough that they issued a “threat alert,” warning current and former pilots to steer clear of the recruitment scheme.
Beijing reportedly pays the pilots $270,000 a year, around twice as much as the Royal Air Force pays its most senior commanders, and four times what it pays an experienced squadron leader. The RAF has also reportedly restricted the hiring of white male pilots to meet diversity targets, and shortages of aircraft and instructors are pushing qualified fliers into jobs in the private sector.
