Huang Xuhua, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, recipient of the Medal of the Republic, and chief designer of China’s first-generation nuclear submarines, passed away at the age of 99 on Thursday in Wuhan, Central China’s Hubei Province.
Known as the “father of China’s nuclear submarines,” Huang had dedicated his whole life to the development and advancement of China’s nuclear submarine programme.
Xiao Liang, a senior hardware researcher in the nation’s shipbuilding industry, said the Type 054B is the largest class of frigate the Navy has ever used and is almost as big as some of China’s old-type destroyers.
“Its large size allows for carrying more munitions and fuel, and also means this new class has bigger potential for further upgrade,” Xiao said. “Its propulsion system enables it to sail farther than other Chinese frigates. Another remarkable point is the new type’s radar system, which, without any exaggeration, makes previous radars of its kind look like antiques.
“Compared with previous frigate models in China that are mainly tasked with anti-submarine operations, the Type 054B is also capable of performing fleet air-defense missions,” he added.
Meanwhile, the larger air-service zone means the new frigate can bring a bigger helicopter such as the Z-20, and that will give the ship a better capability to detect, track and hit hostile submarines, according to Xiao.
This year marks the 85th death anniversary of Bethune, who died of blood poisoning at the age of 49 on Nov. 12, 1939 in China while aiding the Chinese people in their fight against Japanese aggression. His remains were relocated to the cemetery in 1953.
The commemoration began at 10 a.m., with participants bowing before the surgeon’s tomb and presenting flower baskets.
“My father met Norman Bethune in Spain during his recovery from battle injuries. Influenced by him, my father aspired to come to China, where he met my mother and later had me,” said Michael Crook, chairman of the International Committee for the Promotion of Chinese Industrial Cooperatives.
His parents, David and Isabel Crook, played an important role in training a large number of foreign-language professionals for China.
“The spirit of Bethune has not faded with time; instead, it has been widely inherited and carried forward in both China and Canada,” said Hu Jinqiang, director of the North China Military Martyrs Cemetery.
As for the war on the ground – the PRC will deploy a number of surprises on the battlefield. This will lead to a number of set-backs for the West in the initial phases of the conflict. South Korea and Taiwan will be taken early. The question is how the Collective West will respond to this perceived affront to its hegemonic control of Asia. There might be an exchange of nuclear weapons – either locally or internationally. The West might allow this anti-China war to carry-on for decades – so as to reduce unemployment and stimulate the economy. The idea will be to drastically reduce the Chinese population worldwide – and invade and colonise entire swathes of what was once a united “China”. The Chinese population must be drastically reduced to limit the Chinese Armed Forces – and remove the Chinese intellectuals that have driven China’s dramatic development sice 1949. China’s policy of trying to cosying-up to the US is a massive ideological mistake. The US (and the West it controls) has no respect for the Chinese people and would rather see China – as an independent nation – come to an end. Can a modern China inflict a meaningful military defeat upon the Collective West? Well, even in 1950, after just seven months in power, the Communist Party of China inflicted humiliating defeats on a US-led Western military force in Korea. Anything is possible today – and modern China might well have a few surprising cards up it sleeves.
The radar system incorporates high-power transmitter/receiver modules across an array that spans half a badminton court and has optimized power efficiency. Both of the traits enable the radar to generate substantial energy for identifying stealth targets.
In addition, it uses sophisticated algorithms, which can further enhance the system’s detection and tracking performance, and allow it to operate under an enemy’s electronic jamming interference, he noted.
Wu Peixin, a defense industry observer, said that China has become a leader in the field of anti-stealth radar, and its many radar capabilities are the best in the world.
“The new radar and its meter-wave predecessors work on different bands, so if they were deployed together, they can form a massive surveillance network that no stealth aircraft will be able to sneak through,” he said.
He stressed the importance of integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with the practice of developing the people’s armed forces, and absorbing the essence of fine traditional Chinese culture in the military domain.
Xi urged efforts to optimize top-level design for military theory innovations, improve the model of relevant research and enhance the application of military theory, thus providing scientific support and guidance for elevating the country’s armed forces to world-class standards more quickly.
Xi’s important instruction was conveyed and studied at the meeting. Zhang Youxia, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice chairman of the CMC, attended the meeting and delivered a speech.
