China’s hack-proof quantum satellite leap into space leads the world
China launched the world’s first quantum science satellite into space early on Tuesday morning, with the project carrying the hopes of scientists around the world. In ancient times, China was the land of innovation, inventing black powder, paper, printing and the compass. Now, after decades of rapid economic development, it has built up the world’s largest army of scientists and engineers, some armed with cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art hardware, and is ready to reclaim the glory of the past with ambitious projects.
