If one is that retarded to take a selfie at a restricted site, then one deserves whatever punishment is coming. However, there is another possibility to consider. It's possible this worker took this selfie for his own personal album, left the photos on his phone/computer which then was hacked...

A simplistic view on politics. No way they can pull it off? I bet your ancestors thought the same way on first contact with Europeans. Fast forward a few centuries later and the Europeans were ransacking your nation, eventually leading to the Century of Humiliation. Where there is a will...

"They" = Chinese state media. I recall I read it in this thread but now it's gone, or it was posted elsewhere in this forum. Someone here posted an article of it. I have no idea on how to search in Chinese forums, but I came up with the following from an retired Indian military commander. As...

Isn't anything from state media considered official? They gave no exact date but an estimation of end of June. And...we're here!

Still no pennant number? I guess the Chinese state media got the commission date wrong.

Long? It was only 11 days from Miyako Strait to Sanya.

Coastal defense? Maybe use it to augment a CBG?

China Manned Space Agency? Is this a new organization under the CNSA or has the CNSA been rebranded? There isn't much info on the CMSA that I could find.

Boeing went downhill after the merger with McDonnell Douglas. However, Boeing fall under the 'too big to fail' category. It'll get a bail out in some form or another, or maybe it will merge with Lockheed.

IMO, a STOVL aircraft like the V-22 is more useful than the F-35B, with the technology that is available today.

It's that reason why I asked. JNCX has kept certain parts covered up from prying eyes and it was not assembled in Dry Dock #4 (DD4). Since DD4 doesn't have environmental shelters, it would be rather difficult to hide the installation of nuclear reactors. It's not to say the current location...

What's the official line regarding power generation? Nuclear or conventional? AFAIK, there has been no consensus on this.

More BS coming from the State Dept. Be wary of anyone racing to the podium with 'evidence'.

Why not have the road go underneath the tracks when the two intersects?

Apparently this is for a high speed rail. IMO, it would have been easier and cheaper to build at grade level and just engineer at the approach of the hills on each end of the project.
