China's navy battle force has more than tripled in size in only two decades

Today I know of three german/international companies, whose computer systems have now failed due to the chinese "Hafnium" exploit, one has several server farms controlling CAD machines in other countries – all stopped now. No autofallback or failover saved them.

edited: The chinese exploit opens the innards of MS Exchange mailing systems and other data so emails, calendars and project data can be read and copied. Once identified and resistance being ramped up, it is expected to open the door for worse and real damaging action, like encrypting data and harddisks so they become unreadable, with no chance to get it back or working. There is a patch out now, but there are some preconditions to be met, like certain updates installed before and so on. Certain older versions of Exchange cannot be fixed, but those have not been targeted (yet).

This is known as to be running since january, 2021. Smells like a declaration of war..

Would not agree with Kapitan's take on the naval situation, thanks to developing and installing airports and harbours along the african coast their naval capaility is not entirely restricted to the mainland. Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String..._(Indian_Ocean)

I always wonder why someone would make deals with a dictatorship that has aggressive world domination written all over its banners. Western companies should not be allowed to produce there, from VW to Apple, and whatnot.
And of course no telecommunication bought or installed, by, or from them.
