China is working on a jammer to send missiles after ‘ghost' fleet of warships
People's Liberation Army warships showing on its radar.

But it is not an armada – it is just a single vessel.
Four electronic warfare devices circling the ship created the illusion, sending signals that could deceive even an advanced radar from a distance.
It was developed by a team from the Beijing Research Institute of Telemetry, an aerospace defence contractor.
They detailed the 'unprecedented' technology in a peer-reviewed paper published in the Chinese-language Journal of Systems Engineering and Electronics on February 28.

Their study suggested that networked 1-bit jammers could be used to trick enemy missiles into pursuing 'ghost' fleets while the real warships avoided the radar entirely.

Trump's ‘pay-to-play' trade policy sets a dangerous precedent
Any lingering doubts about the extent to which US President Donald Trump has rewritten the rules of global trade should have been laid to rest with reports that chip giants Nvidia and AMD have agreed to pay the US government 15 per cent of the revenue from chip sales in China. The payments are a quid pro quo for approval of the export licences needed to sell semiconductors critical to China's artificial intelligence (AI) ambitions. The previously stalled licences were approved by the Commerce Department on August 8. As the US-China geostrategic rivalry has intensified in recent years, both Democratic and Republican administrations in Washington have tightened restrictions on the sale of sophisticated technologies to China. The export controls on Nvidia's H20 and AMD's MI308 chips were put in place earlier this year in response to US concerns that the chips would find their way into Chinese military applications and give Beijing a leg up in the race for AI superiority. This unprecedented arrangement with Nvidia and AMD does something which until now would have been considered incomprehensible. It monetises US trade policy. Companies are essentially paying the US government for approval to export their products.

China mandates more domestic AI chips for data centres to cut reliance on Nvidia
China is requiring its data centres to use more home-grown computing chips in a move that underscores Beijing's accelerated efforts to cut reliance on foreign technology as the US tightens export controls. Advertisement Publicly owned computing hubs across the country have been asked to source more than 50 per cent of their chips from domestic producers to support the indigenous semiconductor sector, according to people familiar with the matter. The mandate finds its origins in guidelines proposed in March last year by the Shanghai municipality, which was among the first in the country to stipulate that 'adoption of domestic computing and storage chips at the city's intelligent computing centres should be above 50 per cent by 2025'. The guidelines were part of a policy to strengthen artificial intelligence computing resources in China's financial hub. The plan was backed by government agencies including branches of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) in the city and the Shanghai Communications Administration, an agency under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). One source, who works as an adviser in the data centre industry, said that earlier this year the Shanghai chip quotas for the city's intelligent computing centres had become mandatory nationwide policy. The guidelines were part of a policy to strengthen AI computing resources in Shanghai.
