China unveils deep-sea cable cutters that could reset the world order. It can cut the cables that carry 95% of the world’s internet.

Engineered by the China Ship Scientific Research Centre, the tool can operate at depths of 4,000 meters and slice through steel-armored undersea cables using a diamond-coated grinding wheel.

Originally framed as a tool for marine salvage and resource exploration, the device’s potential for military use—especially in sensitive areas like Guam—has prompted alarm in defense circles.

With the ability to be deployed via stealthy submersibles and withstand crushing ocean pressures, the tool exemplifies China’s growing dominance in undersea technology. While Chinese scientists emphasize peaceful intentions, the dual-use nature of the device fuels concerns over sabotage scenarios and the vulnerability of global data infrastructure. As nations scramble to fortify their subsea networks, this innovation highlights both the promise and peril of technological progress in an increasingly contested maritime arena.

China’s new silicon-free chip beats Intel with 40% more speed and 10% less energy

Their newly developed 2D transistor is said to be 40% faster than the latest 3-nanometre silicon chips from Intel and TSMC while consuming 10% less energy. This innovation, they say, could allow China to bypass the challenges of silicon-based chipmaking entirely.

“It is the fastest, most efficient transistor ever,” according to an official statement published last week on the PKU website.
