Good news regarding this incident. 21 injuries, no fatalities, none of the 21 were Chinese national. 19 were locals and 2 were guests of the hotel, they were injured when they tried to escape by jumping out the window.
Taliban government is aware this Chinese hotel is potential terrorist target and posts a 2 man guard at the hotel 24/7. Those Taliban fighters quite like the job because the hotel treats them to free meals and they enjoy the Chinese food. At time of the incident the two guards on duty spotted the terrorists coming in and immediately returned fire. Government reinforcement as well as Chinese security detail from the embassy arrived quickly. Firefight lasted about 1 hour and ended with all three terrorists killed at the scene.
Overall fairly successful anti-terrorist operation by Taliban.

Did the Chinese security detail see any action or did they just arrive to help secure the scene?
Might be the first overseas combat operation by PAP/PLA outside of official UN missions if they did see action.
Ummmm, these stupid little bast@rds extended this chaos with the whole Boris Johnson going to Kiev in March and telling Zelensky to keep going and now they want China to bankroll them when they repeatedly tried to fu@k with them all year. Well all I can say is that the UK better be thankful it is a shit!y weak nation otherwise the fact that it provides Asylum to c@nts like Nathan Law should be good grounds to burn down London bridge with a DF. I mean the UK has continued to be such an utter pest, they need to suffer the consequences and accept the fact that an Indian Prime minister (who is an utter retard on par with Trudeau) is the end result of behaving like a daft c@nt and if they cannot stop being retarded with the whole providing billions to Ukraine while doing nation for the UK, once Russia mans the f@ck up and sends a Sarmat to Buckingham Palace, I am going to LMAO all night long because this is exactly how retarded they have now become, a literal embarrassment that seriously deserves to pass from this mortal coil in flaming pieces
You know what else would work well, automatic executions for anyone with these terror b@stards without a trail and that the ones sponsoring these bastards (the three letter world organisation that will one day be sanctioned by the entire world once the USA goes mad max), can get extradited to Afghanistan where they will be stoned to death in the nude by the locals for all the trouble they have caused for twenty years without apologising while running away like a bunch of pussies. I mean I am pretty sure many nations would love to get their hands on them considering all the harm done and imagine what it is like for them they don’t have a single drop of diplomatic immunity to protect their sorry ass
Probably don’t get to ahead of ourselves, unless they can achieve this and making it practical to use for the populous, then maybe it is something of note but then again, China is going similar research with a different method which would achieve a similar result for everyone’s benefit, not just for the military like what the US is doing right now. It’s like the USA claiming that the B21 raider has achieved a millstone yet it is years away from being ready for use due to having yet to make its first flight after all these years of development

Some big news in the scientific world. There has been a breakthrough in nuclear fusion research: successful ignition. Basically it means achieving fusion with a positive net energy output. Its the first time someone succeeded.
Unfortunately, this fusion ignition breakthrough happened in the US. This would give the US an early lead in nuclear fusion technology. Interestingly, they achieved fusion ignition by using a method of Inertial Confinement Fusion, i.e.: using lasers to compress the fusion fuel. Currently, the most popular method is by using Thermonuclear Fusion in a Tokamak device. China, like everybody else is heavily invested in the Tokamak method, and thus far, no Tokamaks had ever achieved ignition despite all the money and research being poured into them.
I'm quite confident that there should be ethnic Chinese scientists involved in that US fusion project. China should try to get some of those scientists to catchup in the fusion race. If the US is the sole owner of fusion technology that works. They will definitely work to monopolize fusion energy, and also seek to weaponize it in whatever way they can figure out.

Did it also produced netto energy when taking in account the energy needed to generate the laser in the first place?
I saw in this or another thread it was not completely clear they did.
Not quite net positive energy. The efficiency of the lasers in the experiment are still too low and as such a lot more energy went into the reaction than out of it. Nevertheless, it's still a major milestone even with all the issues still in the way.
Silly little di@kheads tried to turn this summit into a Russia and China shitting match but none of the African nations are having it, instead having to spell out to these ret@rds what their real issues are with no hesitation. Anderson and Blinkin, please GTFO and drop de@d for trying to waste everyone’s time with this Cold War nonsense because Africa has better things to do then to deal with babies in suits
Like I said before, the US in downward spiral towards fascism. each administration is more hawkish, more pro war, more out of touch with reality than the one before. Think about it, Obama aka "The Change" just out did Bush Jr in the Middle East in the number of interventions apart from starting the military Pivot to Asia that basically pushed China to accelerate the modernization of their military and changed China internal politics. Obama trade policies opened that door to Trump
Even under Trump aka "Orange man", a man the democrats considered unhinge and mentally unstable, at least his chaotic administration tried to give reasons why Huawei and Jinhua was blacklisted, one for Iran and the other was for IP issues. AND EVEN THEN he try to negotiate with Xi in favor of his trade war. he did it with ZTE, something that wouldn't happen in today political climate.
With Biden aka "Brandon" no only he did not negotiate on trade, war, technology and so, he has closed the door for negotiations, his sanctions no only hurts foreign companies but US companies as well, US tech-trade restrictions now make less sense than under Trump, that is a achievement on its own, the current administration is doing more harm to their on allies than with Trump, another achievement, US current industrial policies will hurt their own allies, the tech restrictions is going to hurt them as well, the US insistence on no negotiating with Russia over Ukraine is going the break Europe and he ended the Afghan war BUT this administration has cleared the path toward big power conflict, a real shooting war with nuclear states.
I cannot image what is going to happen when a more hawkish Republican administration takes power.
Now those prepper videos are making more sense,

Is it? I mean, if fusion ignition is the question here, just explode a h-bomb, why go though so much trouble?
During any scientific research, efficiency is one of the core question, alien fighting nation isn't known for that. There is a reason why sustainable fusion research focused on magnetic core for infusion rather than heat energy of lasers. Wonder how long they can keep up the lasers & how many reactors they can fire up with it without screwing up their grid.
