October 10, 20205 yr Trump diplomacy seems to be working here... Quote North Korea unveils massive new ballistic missile in military parade North Korea unveiled what analysts believe to be the world's largest liquid-fueled intercontinental ballistic missile at a parade in Pyongyang early Saturday. Hong Kong (CNN)North Korea unveiled what analysts believe to be one of the world's largest ballistic missiles at a military parade celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Workers' Party broadcast on state-run television on Saturday. The massive weapon was carried by an 11-axle truck at the climax of the almost two-hour ceremony and military parade in the capital of Pyongyang. Analysts said the new missile is not known to have been tested, but a bigger weapon would allow North Korea to put multiple warheads on it, increasing the threat it would pose to any targeted foe. "Largest *road-mobile* liquid-fueled missile anywhere, to be clear," tweeted Ankit Panda, senior fellow in the Nuclear Policy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. "Liquid fuel, Huuuuge, capable of carrying MIRV nuclear warheads," tweeted Melissa Hanham, deputy director of Open Nuclear Network at Stanford University. "What North Korea has shown us, what appears to be a new liquid-fueled ICBM that seems to be a derivative of what was tested back in late 2017, known as the Hwasong-15, is much bigger and clearly more powerful than anything in the DPRK's arsenal," said Harry Kazianis, senior director of Korean studies at the Washington DC-based Center for the National Interest. North Korean armored vehicles move through Pyongyang in a military parade on Saturday. When the Hwasong-15 was tested in 2017, Pyongyang said it was "capable of carrying a super-heavy nuclear warhead." Analysts said at the time it was expected to have the range to hit much of the United States mainland. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/10/asia/north-korea-military-parade-new-missiles-intl-hnk/index.html

January 25, 20214 yr Beijing orders Chinese media to censor coverage of Alibaba probe Directive to restrict reporting comes as speculation mounts over whereabouts of Jack Ma Jack Ma, one of China’s richest people, has not been seen in public since he made a speech criticising the country’s state-owned banks and financial regulators in October © AP China’s government has told the country’s media to censor reporting on an antitrust probe into tech group Alibaba, whose founder Jack Ma has disappeared from public view as misfortunes mount for his business empire, according to people familiar with the matter. The move by authorities to exert control over the media coverage of the prominent group’s woes shows that the issue has become a matter of national political sensitivity in China. Beijing has cracked down in recent months on Mr Ma’s business empire. The $37bn initial public offering of Alibaba’s payments affiliate Ant Group was cancelled by authorities at the last minute in November, while the following month, competition regulators announced an anti-monopoly investigation into Alibaba. In his last public appearance in October, Mr Ma, one of the country’s richest people, made a speech criticising China’s state-owned banks and financial regulators. At the end of December, the Chinese government’s propaganda arm directed media outlets to "strictly invoke” the official line on the antitrust investigation into Alibaba and to "not make changes or engage in extended analysis without permission”. The fact that this time [Mr Ma] is getting into trouble with the Chinese state likely has high politics in the background Xiao Qiang, University of California at Berkeley "If any company announcements oppose the official stance, do not publish, do not re-post, do not quote foreign media,” the directive said, according to two people who read it. Government mouthpiece the People’s Daily have criticised China’s tech industry for pursuing "ever-higher market concentration”, saying that increasing market supervision is important for the healthy development of the economy. "This directive is severe and unusual,” said Xiao Qiang, a research scientist at the University of California at Berkeley School of Information. "The language [of the directive] is quite similar to the directives on ‘very important political event’ reports such as the trial of Bo Xilai,” he added, referring to the disgraced former politician jailed for life for corruption. "The investments of Ma’s companies are directly associated with some of China's most powerful political families. The fact that this time he is getting into trouble with the Chinese state likely has high politics in the background, not just because he made one speech which may have hit Xi [Jinping, China’s president] or some other party official's nerve,” said Mr Xiao. Mr Xi was involved in the decision to halt Ant’s IPO, according to people close to events. Alibaba’s shares have fallen by about 30 per cent in the weeks since. "I think Beijing is still afraid of Alibaba to a degree . . . The government thinks it’s being challenged,” a state media employee said.
