Beijing now has the power to disrupt global communications after scientists revealed a device that can sever undersea cables.

The tool, which is able to cut lines at depths of up to 4,000 metres (13,123 feet) – twice the maximum operational range of existing subsea communication infrastructure – has been designed specifically for integration with China’s advanced crewed and uncrewed submersibles like the Fendouzhe, or Striver, and the Haidou series.

    It’s all good dude. The other people reading this realize you’re not a racist, and that other guy you’re arguing with is extremely narrow in his definition and unnecessarily combative over semantics, to the point of being anal-retentive.

        I haven’t deleted any of my comments. Why would I?

        I prefer confronting bigots and those with limited understanding and correcting their ignorance.

        You being racist is not “all good dude.”

        You changing your tune is not bad, though.
