I love the straight detail and the way these articles get to the point, but not why it has to be divided into four parts when each is a bit short.

A must read to China's dominance of the rare earths industry, why and how it will keep its dominance, and attempts to take it away is delusional without an expensive and heavily subsidized government initiative.

Very impressive. They have embedded the "motor" into the infrastructure line itself and not on the maglev train. This is a very good technology


I thought it means the chassis is concealed within the walled track and protected by it from any danger of derailment.

I'd like to highlight about China's Radiation Hardened Chips and electronics.

Radiation Hardened Chips are used in space where Cosmic radiations interfere and fry normal chips. The US depends on BAE systems RAD series chips for its Satellites, Rovers and Probes.

The Good news is that China doesn't lag behind US in RadHardened Chips. In many areas it leads.

Some excerpts from an interview with Zhao Yuanfu, scientist -

The government established the [CASC-operated] Beijing Microelectronics Technology Institute in 1994.
Meanwhile, thanks to the 909 Project — a 4-billion-yuan government-backed project launched in 1996 that aims to manufacture high-quality microchips at a large scale — we were able to produce space-grade microchips that have gradually caught up with American technology.

Today, a BeiDou satellite uses more than 1,000 of our chips in its main operating system.
We also supply chips to China’s space station Tiangong-2, and export them to Russia, Germany, France, and other countries.

Guys, one question -

Did the Chengdu Tianfu new Airport use architeural designs and ideas from Beijing Daxing International Airport.

Is there an attempt to recuperate, maybe, the investment made into commissioning architecture and ideas from Zaha Hadid Architects? I'm curious as the Tianfu design looks like someone cut the Daxing Star design through the middle and gave a gap.
