America let its military-industrial might wither. China's is booming.
Adapting to the dual challenge of China's military and its economy has been a focus of U.S. administrations for years. America is losing ground. Modern warfare is a contest of industrial might, as Russia's invasion of Ukraine has shown. Both sides are burning through arsenals of artillery shells, rockets and military vehicles. Automated factories now spit out drones day and night. Even an old-fashioned howitzer requires precision manufacturing. The U.S. won World War II in part by producing more of everything—from bullets to food—than its enemies. One California shipyard in 1942 assembled a supply ship in less than five days. America is no longer capable of that kind of manufacturing feat. Today, the country that can make the most of almost everything is China. Its products run the gamut from basic chemicals to advanced machinery. With tensions rising between the U.S. and China, the two countries' industrial capacity is coming into focus as a key battleground in any conflict. China's economic growth has allowed it to build a military that rivals the U.S. A single Chinese shipbuilder last year produced more commercial ships by tonnage than the entire U.S. shipbuilding industry has made since World War II, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank. The scale of China's commercial shipbuilding subsidizes its production of naval vessels and, in a war, capacity could be shifted from freighters to warships. Since 2000, China has built more than twice as many naval vessels as the U.S., according to defense intelligence company Janes. China's air force and navy are closing the gap with the U.S., though many American platforms are considered more advanced than their Chinese counterparts. Naval firepower offers a prime example. China's ability to launch cruise missiles and other rockets at sea is closing a big combat gap with the U.S. Many of China's manufacturers aren't in the military sector but could easily be repurposed to arms-making or support in a war. China not only has more factories, it is also modernizing them faster, with technologies such as 5G private networks for automation. That means it can more quickly and efficiently link manufacturing equipment to designers and users, updating products at speeds that traditional manufacturing can't achieve. In Ukraine, constant feedback from front-line troops to drone makers has allowed the country to make rapid advances in robotic aircraft. That also means China can more easily accelerate production. The country has far more industrial robots too, supplementing its enormous labor advantage. Wars aren't just about military equipment. Every plane, ship and tank needs fuel, spare parts and ammunition. Their crews need food, water and medical care. Those support functions entail vast logistics networks, most of which rely on ships and China has more of the vessels needed to sustain troops. Even if the U.S. is able to expand its fleet of commercial cargo ships, it lacks sailors to staff them. By some estimates, the U.S. now has fewer than 10,000 commercial sailors—though the number is uncertain because the government stopped tracking them years ago. China has almost 200 times as many merchant mariners. China also has more of the raw materials needed for modern warfare. The country's control of the world's rare earth mines and processing plants—needed to build missiles, planes, and submarines—would allow it to more easily replenish losses in an extended conflict. Chinese companies have largely brushed off U.S. attempts to loosen their grip on the world's critical minerals. If the U.S. faced a major conflict, it would need to reorient industries and workers, as it did in the two world wars of the 20th century. China's workforce is already in position, with an army of manufacturing workers that dwarfs other nations. Write to Jon Emont at Daniel Michaels at Ming Li at and Jason French at

Google uncovers malware campaign by China-linked hackers using Calendar events in a sophisticated cyberattack
In a concerning revelation, Google's Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has uncovered that a group of hackers linked to China used Google Calendar as a tool to steal sensitive information from individuals. The group, known as APT41 or HOODOO, is believed to have ties to the Chinese government. According to GTIG, the attack began with a spear phishing campaign. This method involves sending carefully crafted emails to specific targets. These emails included a link to a ZIP file hosted on a compromised government website. Once the victim opened the ZIP file, they would find a shortcut file disguised as a PDF and a folder with several images of insects and spiders. However, two of these image files were fake and actually contained malicious software. When the victim clicked the shortcut, it triggered the malware and even replaced itself with a fake PDF that appeared to be about species export regulations, likely to avoid suspicion. The malware worked in three steps. First, it decrypted and ran a file named PLUSDROP in the computer's memory. Then, it used a known Windows process to secretly run harmful code. In the final stage, a program called TOUGHPROGRESS carried out commands and stole data. What made this attack unusual was the use of Google Calendar as a communication tool. The malware created short, zero-minute events on specific dates. These events included encrypted data or instructions hidden in their description field. The malware regularly checked these calendar events for new commands from the hacker. After completing a task, it would create another event with the stolen information. Google said the campaign was discovered in October 2024 after it found malware spreading from a compromised government website. The tech company has since shut down the calendar accounts used by the hackers and removed other parts of their online infrastructure. To stop similar attacks in the future, Google has improved its malware detection systems and blocked the harmful websites involved. It also alerted organisations that may have been affected and shared technical details to help them respond and protect themselves.

OnePlus' new compact flagship, OnePlus 13s is all set to make its debut in India on 5 June.

Just like the OnePlus 13, the 13s will come powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. The phone will come in a 6.32 inch form factor while featuring a dedicated Plus key - iPhone like customizable key - that will take place of the iconic alert slider. The new key will be available to use for various tasks like switching sound profiles, launching camera, intitiating translation or starting recordings. However, the standout feature of the new Plus key will be summoning the AI Plus Mind which the company says will mark a new way to cata;og and recall key information found on the screen. OnePlus has also confirmed that the 13s will come with a 32MP selfie with autfocus, a major departure from the 16MP shooter found on the OnePlus 13T. The phone is also slated to come with an independent Wi-Fi chip in order to improve the network connectivity. The phone will be available in India in three colour variants: Black Velvet, Pink Satin, and Green Silk.
