additionally, perhaps the trump had never experienced contractors ganging up on him, and one contractor is tending towards liberal use of coercive measures, and the other is a lender as well as creditor, and on-going juice supplier am sure the trump easily figured out the score, even as his deep-state knaves still goading him towards deep-state objectives speaking of deep-state, this one bites it for infractions. he had advocated team Britain send some battle ships to keep the peace in south china sea. am guessing this would be the same sort of wastrel behind Assange's treatment. edition.cnn.com UK Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson fired over Huawei leak Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson has been asked to step down by British Prime Minister Theresa May. London (CNN) — British Prime Minister Theresa May has fired her Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson over the leaking of a key decision related to the Chinese telecoms company Huawei from a UK National Security Council meeting. May's surprise decision followed an inquiry into how the Daily Telegraph newspaper discovered that the UK government was preparing to give Huawei access to parts of the country's 5G mobile network. "The Prime Minister has this evening asked Gavin Williamson to leave the Government, having lost confidence in his ability to serve his role of Defence Secretary and as a member of her Cabinet," the statement said. "The Prime Minister's decision has been informed by his conduct surrounding an investigation into the circumstances of the unauthorized disclosure of information from a meeting of the UK National Security Council." Williamson "strenuously" denied he was the source of the leak, in a letter posted to his Twitter account on Wednesday night. "I am sorry that you feel recent leaks from the National Security Council originated in my Department. I emphatically believe this was not the case," he said. "I strongly deny that I was in any way involved in this leak and I am confident that a thorough and formal inquiry would have vindicated my position." Williamson added that he chose not to accept Prime Minister May's offer for him to resign because it would have suggested that he was guilty. The Daily Telegraph's leaked story was controversial because of allegations by some Western countries, including the United States, that Huawei products could be used by China for spying. Huawei, the world's largest supplier of telecom equipment, has repeatedly denied the accusations. While Australia has already barred its equipment from the country's 5G networks, Huawei has fought hard to convince the United Kingdom that its products are safe for use. Following the leak, an inquiry was launched by Cabinet Secretary Mark Sedwill after the information from the secret discussions on April 23 was published in the paper. In a letter to Williamson, May said it was an "extremely serious matter, and a deeply disappointing one." "It is vital that I have full confidence in the members of my Cabinet and of the National Security Council. The gravity of this issue alone, and its ramifications for the operation of the NSC and the UK's national interest, warrants the serious steps we have taken, and an equally serious response." British Prime Minister Theresa May leaves Number 10 Downing Street for Prime Minister's Questions in Parliament on May 1. Following the announcement, several MPs called for Williamson to face criminal charges. Opposition Labour deputy leader Tom Watson said the former Defense Secretary "should be prosecuted under the Official Secrets Act" and "should forgo his ministerial severance pay," according to Britain's Press Association (PA) news agency. Liberal Democrat leader Vince Cable also argued that Williamson should be referred to London's Metropolitan Police "for a thorough criminal investigation," PA added. However Scotland Yard, the headquarters for the Met Police, said in a statement that they were aware of the leak but were not carrying out an investigation at this stage, according to PA. "Clearly if at any stage we receive any information that would suggest criminal offences have been committed, then we will look into that," it added. May shortly after Williamson was fired that Minister for Women and Equalities Penny Mordaunt would replace him. She will be the country's first female defense secretary.

contractor innovation on building material but according to some, nothing to pay attention to, because team china cannot innovate, and will run out of clever people but, yes, this case study clearly indicates some enterprises are government-sponsored per industrial policy, or that which others term MMT let us see if the trade-war team has anything to say before deal signed and victory declared scmp.com Could this new material help China break the hypersonic weapon heat barrier? Researchers say they have developed a ceramic-metal composite that can withstand temperatures up to 3,000 degrees Celsius Minnie Chan Published: 10:38pm, 1 May, 2019 Researchers in central China have developed a non-carbon-based heat-resistant material with potential for use in hypersonic vehicles, according to Chinese media reports. The team, led by Professor Fan Jinglian from Central South University in Hunan province, developed a ceramic-metal material that can endure temperatures as high as 3,000 degrees Celsius (5,430 Fahrenheit), according to Hunan Television. Fan, a top researcher in high-temperature-resistant materials, said the composite could be used in various devices, from engines to space rockets and nuclear reactors. The new material’s heat resistance also means that it might be suitable for use in hypersonic aircraft, which can heat up to as high as 3,000 degrees Celsius through atmospheric friction. The breakthrough by Fan’s group is a departure from the field’s previous focus on carbon-based materials. “We should make use of our knowledge and turn it into wealth for our society and our country ... so that we can take a leading position [in technology] in the world,” Global Times quoted Fan as saying. According to the report, Fan’s team, with the support of local government, set up an industrial unit to manufacture the material, supplying it to aerospace and defence enterprises since March. Professor Fan Jinglian and her team have developed a composite material resistant to extremely high temperatures. Photo: Hunan TV Share: While the new material is a dual-use technology, military experts said it was too early to say if it would spur a great leap forward in China’s pursuit of hypersonic technology. Hong Kong-based military analyst Song Zhongping said it would be simpler if the material was only used in rockets, which were generally “disposable”. “[The technology] would be much more difficult if the material was for use in hypersonic aircraft because it needs to be reusable,” Song said. “A new military technology should satisfy three criteria: be innovative, of a high standard and of quality materials. “It can be created if it has all three elements and integrates them successfully and seamlessly.” In August, China successfully tested the Starry Sky-2, a missile-capable hypersonic aircraft, in northwest China, according to the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics. A Beijing-based missile expert said that although China had made great strides in hypersonic technology, it was mainly used in “strategic weapons”. “Among the hypersonic weapons, the land-based hypersonic missile is the most powerful one,” the expert said. “But the missiles are huge and even China’s biggest military transport aircraft, the Y-20, cannot carry them.” The expert added that because of the high cost of hypersonic technology, China would only produce a small stockpile of such missiles for deployment in key economic centres such as Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces. According to Song, China was not likely to use hypersonic technology in antisatellite weapons because laser-directed weapons, high-powered microwave beams and other more sophisticated weapons would be better alternatives.
