Beijing now has the power to disrupt global communications after scientists revealed a device that can sever undersea cables.

The tool, which is able to cut lines at depths of up to 4,000 metres (13,123 feet) – twice the maximum operational range of existing subsea communication infrastructure – has been designed specifically for integration with China’s advanced crewed and uncrewed submersibles like the Fendouzhe, or Striver, and the Haidou series.

    “That could reset the world order”

    Lmao, what hyperbolic bullshit. It’s just a cable cutter. Most nations have shit like this, but thanks for letting us know in the title this is just Chinese propaganda.
