US Navy group heading for Yellow Sea in biggest show of strength near eastern China in 10 years​

• Local media reports say the amphibious group led by the USS America will take part in a joint exercise with South Korean forces
• The US and South Korean presidents have pledged to ‘enhance the regular visibility of strategic assets’ amid rising tensions with China and the North

Do you guys think the sailors on those ship ever get scared when they hold a drill that close to Beijing?

We live in a universe where the foremost experts on China do not speak a lick of mandarin and have never set foot in the country, and the foremost experts on semiconductors are gender studies majors. What an interesting universe we live in.

They identified as experts in those fields! Don’t be a bigot and challenge them with facts or reasons or even questions! Do you want to hurt their feels or something?!

I can't find this news in Chinese media yet, rather doubtful considering the size of this news if real.

Is it not some old news, but western media just digging it up again?

Think I remember reading about this, but it could be that back then it was also not true.

There was a comment few months back in r/warshipporn in which commenter said his USN buddy said PLAN was terrifying and they (PLAN) basically did whatever they wanted in SCS. That comment got downvoted to oblivion.

r/warshipporn used to be good at downvoting sinophobic nonsense, but got worse recently, there was even a mod who challenged the wumao downvote brigade

China bans govt officials from using iPhones for work -WSJ​

Sept 6 (Reuters) - China has ordered officials at central government agencies to not use Apple's iPhones and other foreign-branded devices for work or bring them into the office, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The orders were given by superiors to their staff in recent weeks and it wasn't clear how widely the orders were being distributed, the WSJ said.

The council, which faces an immediate budget shortfall of £87m this year, has also blamed the implementation of its Oracle IT system for its desperate situation.

Intended to streamline council payments and HR systems, the flagship system was expected to cost £19m. But after three years of delays, it was revealed in May it could cost up to £100m.

The leader claimed he had only learned of the financial crisis at the same time as other councillors during Tuesday morning's cabinet meeting.

So nobody warned anybody the city was going bankrupt, until the city went bankrupt? Not even the city council's own leader??

Lmao what, an IT system for payments and HR for a city council really shouldn't balloon to some £100m.
