China’s third aircraft carrier launch delayed – media

A massive Covid-19 outbreak in Shanghai has stalled the planned launch of China’s third aircraft carrier, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported on Sunday, citing sources.

According to the publication, the vessel was expected to be ready this month, but the schedule was affected by problems with the supply chain.

“The plan faces delay as the rampant pandemic in Shanghai has delayed the transport of some key components,” an unnamed source told the SCMP, a Hong Kong-based English-language newspaper owned by Alibaba Group.

Former Fishing Village in China has more Billionaires than New York

China now hosts three cities with the greatest number of mega-rich, according to data from the Global Rich List - including Shenzhen.

144 billionaires live in Beijing, 121 in Shanghai, and now New York has been knocked out the top three (110).

Shenzhen, a former fishing village turned China’s Silicon Valley, has 113 of the globe’s most wealthy. The city has been basking in a growing concentration of wealth, adding eight billionaires to its list since last year.

According to Heng Chen, an associate professor of economics at the University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen’s rise stemmed from its efforts to make the city welcoming to businesses, for instance, by offering tax breaks to high-tech companies.
