Speeding In A Tesla, 20-Year-China Man Kills Family Of 3, Shows No Remorse
A 20-year-old Chinese man caused a deadly accident last October 2, killing a family of three after driving recklessly following an argument with his girlfriend, South China Morning Post reported. Speeding at 129km/h in a Tesla on a in a 40km/h zone, he ignored his girlfriend's pleas to slow down, hitting a 31-year-old father, his 30-year-old wife, and their infant son, nearly one year old. Showing no remorse and joking about the deaths, Liao's actions sparked widespread online outrage.
The family was crossing the road to attend a family dinner when the accident occurred. The mother and infant died instantly, and the father died en route to the hospital. Elephant News reported that the victims' parents are now battling severe depression due to the tragedy.
"We were waiting for them to come home for dinner, but all we got was a call from the traffic police telling us they were gone. It feels like the world has collapsed around us," said Hu, who lost her son and grandson in the tragedy.
Following the accident, Liao and his family refused to apologise. Liao's father even threatened the victims' family, stating, 'My son killing your son was an act of God; you suing my son is a man-made disaster!' Hu reported that Liao displayed no compassion at the scene of the tragedy.
She said, "The scene was blood-soaked, yet he was chatting, joking, and laughing about my baby. Does he have any humanity?"
The victims' family rejected an offer of 800,000 yuan (approximately $110,000) in compensation from Liao's family. They also declined a proposal that Liao would care for the victims' elderly parents after his release from prison.
"What use is the money when two generations of my family are gone? How could he even suggest such a thing? Why would we allow the murderer who destroyed our family to take care of us?: Hu asked.
During the trial, Hu demanded the harshest punishment for Liao, even calling for the death penalty. Hu stated, "This man is only 20 years old, but he is already so cruel! One life for three lives, that is the only justice."
Liao's lack of remorse and his family's refusal to apologise have sparked widespread public outrage. One user wrote, "This is just too heartbreaking to watch. I hope this grieving mother can stay strong and see justice served, so that the 'monster' gets what he deserves."
Another said, "This was intentional murder. He must pay with his life."

Is aespa's Karina dating Stray Kids' Hyunjin after Lee Jae Wook? Old posts, sasaeng chats, and Giselle link resurface
The internet is once again abuzz with rumors linking aespa's Karina and Stray Kids' Hyunjin romantically. Past online posts and screenshots allegedly shared by sasaeng fans (obsessive and invasive followers) have resurfaced. On June 13, several trending discussions on Weibo, Korean blogs, and forums revisited a fan community post from October 2024. The post claimed that Karina was spotted having a video call with a male idol inside a car. The idol was allegedly Hyunjin, and the sighting took place during aespa's overseas schedule. According to these accounts, the sighting took place on the day of a Chinese fansign event. She was witnessed by onlookers who claimed to be present near the idol's vehicle. Karina or Giselle? According to the viral post, Karina and fellow aespa member Giselle were seen traveling together in a white vehicle. Meanwhile, Winter and Ningning were said to be riding in separate cars or were not present at the event. In the post, Karina was allegedly seen holding her phone at an angle suggestive of a video call. She was smiling and seemingly engrossed in a private conversation. Soon after, screenshots of leaked group chat logs among Chinese sasaengs began circulating. One of the images claimed a certain female idol (heavily implied to be Karina) was seen on a call with a male idol. The speculation rapidly intensified, with some fans insisting the man on the call was Hyunjin. However, conflicting accounts soon emerged, with some fans suggesting that it was Giselle, not Karina, who was on the call. However, no clear video or image has been released to confirm who was actually involved. Meanwhile, fans also accuse sasaengs of spreading misinformation based on blurry observations and assumptions. Not the first time for this pair This isn't the first time the two idols have been tied together by online rumors. Back in 2021, Hyunjin was briefly suspected of being involved with Karina. Fans thought they recognized Karina's face as the wallpaper on his phone during a livestream. Soon, Hyunjin personally cleared the air. He explained that the wallpaper was a drawing he created after watching a favorite movie, and not a photo of Karina. The situation quickly died down as fans accepted his explanation. Moreover, Karina's personal life had previously made headlines when she confirmed a brief relationship with actor Lee Jae Wook in early 2024. Their romance was initially revealed by a Korean news outlet. It was reported that the pair often met in private and took late-night walks. However, it ended just weeks later, with both sides confirming their split due to busy schedules. No official comment yet As of now, neither SM Entertainment (aespa's agency) nor JYP Entertainment (Stray Kids' agency) has made any comment regarding the situation. It remains to be seen whether either company will issue statements clarifying or dismissing the rumors, or choose to ignore them altogether.

Drones Pose Tremendous Danger to Military and Other Targets
On June 1, Ukraine executed one of the most shocking military operations of the strategic air assets in one coordinated strike. The drones weren't hypersonic or guided by AI – they were small, cheap, quadro-copters made from commercially available parts, piloted by open-source software and deployed from inside Russia using civilian trucks. Drones provide precision and deniability, enabling both state and non-state actors to conduct operations with reduced logistical costs and risks to human infiltrators. FPV or 'first person view' drones, where the operators get a cockpit view of the terrain and target, can carry small explosives like an RPG warhead capable of taking out a tank. Operation Spiders Web marks the second time in recent years when an operation at this scale has featured an 'attack from within.' The first was the Israeli operation that rigged communications pagers used by Hezbollah with explosives and caused mayhem in the organisation prior to the outbreak of open Israel-Hezbollah hostilities. Such attacks have changed the calculus of security raising vulnerabilities in areas hitherto considered safe. Now there are worries that a range of military facilities could be targeted in similar attacks. There have been worries expressed as to how US ports could be vulnerable to Chinese ships carrying similar drones. In a similar manner, some 60 Indian air bases, and many hundreds Indian Army stations and facilities could similarly be vulnerable. The situation calls for a redesigning of the defences of many of these places. Recall in 2021, the first ever drone attack on a military facility in India was carried out when two drones dropped explosives on the Jammu air force station damaging a building. No one claimed responsibility for the attack. The Pakistan border is less than 20 kms from the station. The Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and Rajasthan borders are already 'active' where hundreds of drones come across to drop drugs, and often weapons and explosives. Protection begins with the periphery. In 2002, the US inaugurated the Container Security Initiative to enhance maritime security by preventing the use of cargo containers for terrorist activities such as smuggling weapons of mass destruction. The first line of defence for this were foreign ports which loaded cargo for the US where high risk containers were screened prior to departure using X-Ray, gamma ray machines and radiation detectors. As of now CSI is operational in 58 foreign ports covering 85% of the traffic to the US India is not a member of the CSI though it has had discussions with the US on the issue. New Delhi is concerned about its own security since posting of US officials in Indian ports could provide the US a means of tracking India 's sensitive imports . There are also issues with costs associated with the specialised equipment that would have to be set up. In 2004, 10 workers were killed in a private steel company near Delhi when they were handling scrap iron which was mixed with live shells and rockets from an unspecified foreign war zone. In 2005, the authorities in Mumbai found a container shipment containing some 34 revolvers, 1,000 live cartridges, 3 pistols and a silencer in a container which was imported from Bangkok and was supposed to have 27 drums of grease. The shipment was attributed to local gang members in the city. India of course has its own system of port security which does use scanners on a risk-based screening for cargo at JNPT, Mumbai and Chennai. But these are not deployed universally across India 's dozen or so major ports. New Delhi has also proposed this year to create a new state-backed Bharat Container Line to reduce reliance on foreign operators, This is of course a commercial initiatives, but it will also integrate security protocols. After the security of the periphery, India will have to think of protecting its inland sensitive areas. Little is known as yet about the manner in which the Ukrainian drones were guided. In all likelihood some were piloted remotely, others used AI to go along pre-programmed paths. In any case, they penetrated the perimeter defences to reach their targets. In India , some, though not all the bases are walled up along with a layer of barbed wire. They are policed by watch-towers and active patrols. Now it will be important to incorporate a drone-response team to the guard system. This will not be just a guard who will sound the alarm, but given the short time in which the threat is activated, it will require teams aided by sensors and anti-drone guns capable of immediate reaction to neutralise drones. Defences will have to be layered. While at the first level radar provides air bases with the ability to track some drones, smaller ones can still get through. Radio-Frequency (RF) detectors that track autonomous drones may not be sufficient. What will be needed at the second level is integrated over-lapping sensors – optical, thermal, auditory, along with radars to cover threats at all altitudes and paths. Third level counter-drone systems will again have to be a mix of kinetic guns and pellet firing systems, directed energy weapons, as well as electronic jamming and spoofing equipment. In addition there can be drone interceptors that can be launched quickly to fight attacking drones. In Ukraine drone vs drone has become an important means of defence. A final layer of action is to shut down 5G and 4G networks adjacent to the bases which the drones can be riding on to execute their attacks. Given the threat India faces from non-state as well as state actors, the number of vulnerable areas is even greater if you count the various government offices, economic targets, railway stations, power grids and so on. All this requires a changed way in looking at security given the rise of the FPV threat. Manoj Joshi is a distinguished fellow with the Observer Research Foundation in Delhi.
