Kim Jong Un calls for bolstering nuclear and conventional weapons after testing 2 types of missiles
North Korea said Thursday that leader Kim Jong Un supervised successful tests of two types of missiles — one designed to carry a «super-large conventional warhead» and the other likely for a nuclear warhead, as he ordered officials to bolster up his country's military capabilities to repel U.S.-led threats. The tests were apparent references to the multiple missile launches that neighboring countries said North Korea performed off its east coast on Wednesday, extending its run of weapons display as confrontations with the U.S. and South Korea escalate. The official Korean Central News Agency said that Kim oversaw the launch of the country's newly built Hwasongpho-11-Da-4.5 ballistic missile tipped with a dummy «4.5-ton super-large conventional warhead.» It said the test-firing was meant to verify an ability to accurately hit a 320 kilometer (200 mile)-range target, suggesting it's a weapon aimed at striking sites in South Korea.

The Chinese chipmaker at the heart of the US-China tech war
chipmaker has been hard at work testing the limits of U.S. authority. Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp., or SMIC, is manufacturing chips with features less than one-15,000th of the thickness of a sheet of paper. The chips pack together enough computing power to create advancements such as artificial intelligence and 5G networks. It's a feat that has been achieved by just a few companies globally — and one that has landed SMIC in the middle of a crucial geopolitical rivalry. U.S. officials say such advanced chip technology is central not just to commercial businesses but also to military superiority. They have been fighting to keep it out of Chinese hands, by barring China from buying both the world's most cutting-edge chips and the machinery to make them.
