Both. China wants allies in the global south and it would benefit them if those allies get stronger economically, especially if they do so with China’s help.
Same reason with the U.S Marshall plan after WW2 right? We wanted to help the Europeans to recover, but a big reason is so we can have strong allies to fight against the Soviets.

>At first glance it looks like a video game, but this device allows hacking, stealing and tampering with information, like a Swiss army knife for hackers
Law enforcement agencies are concerned about the Flipper, which is supposed to be used for convenience and research purposes, and to store personal data.
Yet this device with hacking capabilities is like a Swiss army knife for hackers and has developed an international fan community that shares information and develops additional capabilities for the device.
Many Israelis who buy the Flipper are information security researchers and tech experts who want to examine the device and understand its capabilities, but the product often ends up being used illegally by people who want to harm and terrorize others. In some cases, these nefarious hackers are actually breaking the law.
What cab the Flipper do?
The Flipper can be used to break into cars and hotels, as well as to steal information from credit cards, the rav-kav card which is used for public transport, and similar cards that contain private information.
It can jam radio frequencies; take remote control of electronic products including turning off, starting or disrupting them; duplicate employee cards and subscription cards of various kinds (for example to a gym); activate parking gates by remote and more.
Cyber expert Osher Asor, director of the cyber department at Auren Israel and a cyber consultant to the Defense Ministry, promotes ethical hacking, i.e. using certain cyber capabilities and tech for the benefit of the public.
In this context, he warns various private and public entities against cyber threats. He recently warned the authorities about the danger posed by the Flipper if it gets into the wrong hands.
Asor stated that the Flipper is an excellent device for people with good intentions. Yet, the disruptive uses of the device are diverse and destructive. Asor thinks that we only know the tip of the iceberg about these capabilities. As an ethical hacker it's important for him to clarify that the use of hacking equipment should be controlled and supervised.

The student still has to decide whether they approve the submission no matter how it's generated. They could easily learn something new in the process. Or get busted for talking gibberish or about something they clearly don't understand.

What are you talking about, this article is about the US using its influence to get a contract to lay new trans oceanic fiber cables from Singapore to France.

No it really won't, and no one is proposing this.
A Hard-lined network is going to remain faster, cheaper, and more practical for decades.

Small essays, yes. Big ones that teachers give you a month or multiple months to work on, doubtful. Worst I can think of, any computer used for school work, will have moderating tools used, which I highly doubt will be common place, let alone strictly enforced.

The networking infrastructure is undoubtedly beneficial but I wonder about the ecological quality of the mining and extraction business going in. Is China really trying to improve Africa or just move their dirty stuff to a poorer place. Will it all get maintained and will China make sure everyone gets paid as promised? That remains to be seen.

redditors/americans never read articles and the media knows it. so headlines are generated to to push the narrative they want even if the contents of the article contradict it (america using bribes and threats to try and control the undersea data pipeline industry)

> if you can’t co operate with other nations ..
What’s the definition of “cooperate” and the definition of “other nations” here?
If by “cooperate” you mean “do everything the US says like a good client state” and by “other nations” you mean the U.S and our closest allies, then yes, I would agree with you.
But if you go beyond that, the US will do everything to sabotage China’s relationship with other countries because we cannot let our hegemony be threatened by a rising global power.
For example, did you know that Israel and China always had a great relationship, so much so Israel was selling weapons tech to China until U.S stepped in and forced Israel to stop by threatening to sanction them, our closest ally in the Middle East?
China literally just brokered a historical agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran to restore diplomatic ties, thus lowering the risk for conflict in the region. But I bet you haven’t heard of that because such news tend to be downvoted in our echo chamber these days.
Either way, if you are really interested in this topic, travel a bit to some other places in the world other than Western countries and you’d suddenly realize the world view for most of the planet’s population is very different than that of the West.
The West is in an enviable position today because we hold most of the world’s wealth and power with a small portion of the population because we pillaged the whole world for a good few centuries. But it’s beneficial to go out of this bubble and get some different perspectives.

That's what I said, soon all trafic will be transmitted wirelessly across the entire earth, the only problem with that is the amount of RF energy being beamed everywhere, google "antennas near me" or "microwave transmitters near me"

Just explain it to me. I’m happy to learn. I know exactly what AR is by the way. But not seeing what it adds to a work environment at this time.
