Xinhua, May 3, 2017 Adjust font size: Chinese scientists have built world's first quantum computing machine that goes beyond the early classical -- or conventional -- computers, paving the way to the ultimate realization of quantum computing beating classical computers. Scientists announced...

Finally a model of China's new LHD project, the Type 075. Said to displace 36,000 tonnes and operate 28 helicopters, under construction at Shanghai' Hudong-Zhonghua shipyards since late 2016.

Hi there, Time is ripe to open this thread. 863 and super-893 programs have matured up to the point where we should be connecting the dots. Based on recently published information by the [Elixir] organization, which would be nice to collectively fact check, China might have tested one of its...

That has some interesting implications for what H-20 may end up looking like... It'll sure be interesting if B-21 and H-20 both come out with similar planform Where'd you find that picture from btw?

http://nationalinterest.org/feature/can-chinas-dreadnought-tip-the-naval-balance-15539 Just over a decade ago, Western naval analysts (including this one) marveled over the PLAN’s new “Red Aegis” Type 052C destroyer, the first Chinese warship to wield both phased array radars and vertical...

I want to ask a question about when the J-10 programme first became known publically in the West, as well as the contentious issue of the possible Lavi connection, even if it is simply cosmetic, and hope that Deino perhaps can give some clarity on this. When were the first rumours of the J-10...

Hi everybody, It seemed we did not have any clearly identifiable thread on this subject yet. Now we do. Project 0901 is a national endeavor -- not to be confused with project 0902 (Fusion) -- and seems to broadly cover anything related to high-speed scramjet research for the purpose of flying...

Found some weeks ago at the same testsite at Wuhan, where also the Liaoning and other ships EW's systems were tested ... Now a few more interesting high-resolution photos from that new Chinese DDG ... said to be a test-stand for the Type 055 DDG: Since ships are really...

On May 13, 2013, China launched a rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province. The Chinese Academy of Sciences stated it was a high-altitude scientific research mission, but unofficial U.S. government sources say it was actually a test of a new ballistic missile related...

Hi; Time is ripe to open a new thread dedicated to China's current advanced nuclear propulsion studies for future deep-space planetary exploration missions. On December 23, 2013, CAST disclosed that one particular 863 program entitled "Nuclear power spacecraft general technical and safety...
