China es uno de esos destinos que tengo marcados en mi lista de deseos de vacaciones: ojalá ver los osos panda rojos, los Guerreros de Xi’an y la Gran Muralla. Sí, he estado dos veces ya allí, pero fueron viajes de trabajo donde aunque pude ver el espectacular skyline nocturno de Shanghái, la Avenida de las Estrellas de Hong Kong o templos en Shenzhen, donde más estuve fue en cuarteles generales de marcas y sus fábricas.  Ojo, no me arrepiento de nada: fueron viajes maravillosos donde descu

Greater global cooperation and development-focused AI regulations are urgently needed to prevent a widening digital divide, scholars and international figures said at China’s premier AI conference on Saturday.

It’s 2028, and the Fujian carrier strike group has just left Yulin, China, for an unknown destination. The U.S. Navy’s “Hedge Strategy” has let commanders disperse unmanned systems across regional choke points as forward-deployed scouts. But days before contact with Fujian, an unmanned undersea vehicle in the Banda Sea transmits an error code and must head back to Yokosuka for repairs — a 3,000-mile, 15-day trip. A second platform, an unmanned surface vehicle, is overdue for a routine oil filter
