How is it working? Can someone inform us here that has read this Bloomberg article. It's behind a paywall so I can't read the article. I just want to make sure if this piece of news isn't just another victory lap that's not there.
News on China's scientific and technological development.

Nothing, just the usual cheerleading by unnamed US officials, etc. They also tried to hide the fact this was written by 2 white man by putting the name of 2 Asian women as authors.

Who cares? What technologies can China possibly get from Israel? This is not 2000 any more.
You win member of the year hahahah. Nice summary! Always love industry summaries. Much appreciated.
Just crushing Japan's obsession about hydrogen fuel technology.
China builds first unmanned offshore oil rig in South China Sea

China has finished the construction of its first unmanned offshore oil platform on Wednesday at Enping Oilfield in the South China Sea.
The platform, named EP10-2, does not have any offices or living quarters. As a result, it's much cheaper to build and maintain, enabling oil companies to drill fields that are not cost-effective enough for traditional rigs. Annual maintenance cost for this platform could be 10 million yuan (about $1.49 million) cheaper than its manned equivalent.
The size of the platform is significantly smaller than traditional rigs. The deck is reduced to half and total weight is only two-thirds of the traditional platforms.
What's more, the platform can work under extreme conditions like typhoon since it is mostly remote-controlled.
With that said, the unmanned platform requires an extreme level of smartness and stability. The maker of this platform, the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), said they have added 10 smart systems to the rig to boost its sensing and remote-control abilities.
Founded in 1982, the CNOOC claims to be the largest offshore oil and gas producer in China. The company made its debut in the Shanghai Stock Exchange in April and performed strongly in a relatively weak period in the market cycle. Its stock price traded at 16.15 yuan on Wednesday, 17.11 percent higher than the debut price.
Chinese researchers from CAS have made major breakthrough in fundamental science and manufacturing technologies of solid state sulfide lithium ion battery (硫化物全固态锂离子电池). They are "one step closer" to manufacturing this new type of batteries at industrial scales.
This research team has had their focus on high performance solid sulfide electrolyte. Using their own electrolyte, they have developed solid state li-ion battery in polymer package (全固态软包锂电池) that can be charged to 63.5% in 6 minutes at the 10C charge speed. After 850 full cycles, the battery would still have 94% of the charge capacity. It can keep 31% discharge capacity at minus 40 celsius.
They have built trial production lines in lab to further smooth out the processes for manufacturing solid sulfide electrolyte and polymer-package solid state li-ion batteries.

Wow. Imagine having the brightest people in your country working for 30 years in a field just so you can create a monopoly, only to be almost surpassed in less than a decade.

It's going by the assumption that China needs Israel and not the other way around or else why would Israel even bother with China. All it means is Israel is now facing more Chinese weapons in the hands of their enemies. Remember the Sa'ar 5 that was then packed with advanced Western technology being hit by a Chinese anti-ship missile. Didn't need Israel for that.
