Chang'e 5 also brought rice to the moon? And the rice seeds are sprouting!
China's science trend 2021 from some researches.
Vaccines..
Vaccines..
"..some developed by Chinese pharmaceutical companies, slated to be widely over the coming months — 2021 has plenty more in store for scientific developments."
Space.."2021 will be the year when China starts building its own space station, dubbed Tiangong, or “Sky Palace.” For April, the China National Space Administration has scheduled to launch Tiangong’s core unit. Before the end of 2022, two experiment units will follow and dock with the core."
"With a wider field of view than the Hubble Space Telescope, a telescope aboard the space station — launch date unclear — promises to reveal parts of the universe previously unobserved, astronomer Chen Pengfei at Nanjing University .."
"If everything goes as planned, China’s first two satellites for observing the sun will also launch in 2021. One of them, dubbed CHASE, is operated by Chen’s team and will focus on detecting solar activities. "
"And around May, China’s first is slated to land on the red planet after a 10-month voyage."
Deep ocean, the deepest part.."Scientists have discovered in the past decades that the chemicals these organisms produce for surviving such inhospitable conditions could cure some of the most detrimental human diseases, like cancer."
Microbiota, deep inside our belly.."Yuan expects new information to come to light in 2021, as many researchers shift their focus to trace compounds released by gut microbiota directly impacting other organs, potentially in harmful ways."
Pig.. Resistant to disease.."..scientists can make pigs immune to deadly diseases such as African swine fever and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome.."
"It is the most efficient way to resist a disease, better than any pills or vaccines.."
6G.. while other part of the world is still busy with a lot of noises about 5G. Research about 6G is ongoing in China.“The experiment data coming in 2021 is likely to determine whether terahertz will be included as part of the 6G standards,” Sun says."
Advanced wearable devices."Over 95% of sensors in China are imported. It (sensor manufacturing) is the hardest nut to crack,” Zhang says.
"..under the Chinese Academy of Sciences hopes to see better sensors being developed in 2021. Blood pressure meters, for example, may soon be integrated into smart watches. The feature requires a leap in China’s sensor development technology, Zhang tells Sixth Tone."
"Zhang expects the accuracy to improve as scientists work out how to eliminate inference from factors such as skin color."
Tangible carbon. "One cutting-edge discovery that will become commonplace is graphene. The ultra-thin material made of pure carbon that won its inventors a Nobel Prize a decade ago will finally enter ordinary people’s lives in 2021.."
"..its high price tag of up to several hundred dollars per gram has been a limiting factor.."
"..the price will drop to “as low as a common raw chemical material.."
Sequencing autism..“So we can’t use data from, say, American research, to study cases among Chinese people,” Qiu tells Sixth Tone. He expects the database, the first of its kind in China, will help reveal hundreds of genetic mutations associated with autism in the Chinese population."
Huawei and Tencent are dueling over Huawei's commissions in their app store. I believe it is an exorbitant 50% when traditional app store fees (Apple, Google, Microsoft XBox, Steam, Sony PS) is about 30% and Apple is starting to get blowback in the US with theirs. Losing Honor of Kings, which is China's most popular mobile game, isn't going to sit pretty.
This is a dramatic escalation.
This is not just to protect their market share in China, as 10% for Ericsson in China probably be like 10x times more than what they would sell in their home market of Sweden.
It is still about competition. If Ericsson is in the dark about Huawei, what the competition is doing, they will be in trouble.
If someone wants to be the best, they must go to where the best are. If Sweden is a backwater for telecommunications, then that is not a good situation for Ericsson. Granted that Ericsson is one of the top telecom equipment markers in the world, but in the home market, if this ban is enforced, they are alone because they way ahead of Nokia.
Anyone who bans Huawei, that is not good for their competitive position. Ericsson is not fooling around. They're gone from Sweden their headquarters if no listens there. They probably move to Germany. Salute!
