一 | (ECNS) -- A satellite pair with onboard artificial intelligence processing capabilities were successfully launched into orbit in early August, marking the latest milestone in the country’s rapidly expanding commercial space sector. The Eastern Star link 05/06 satellites, launched aboard a Jielong-3 carrier rocket from the Haiyang Oriental Spaceport, Shandong Province, were jointly developed by Wuhan University, Eastern Star link and Star Vision, two Chinese commercial space and satellite technology companies. The satellites are equipped with hyperspectral AI capabilities for intelligent data processing in orbit. Unlike traditional remote-sensing satellites, which send large amounts of imagery back to Earth for analysis, the new satellites can process data directly in space. According to Song Bingchen, co-founder of Eastern Star link, the technology could shorten information response times from days to minutes and increase data utilization rates from less than 10% to more than 80 %. However, deploying AI in space presents challenges, including limited power supply, heat dissipation and radiation resistance. To overcome them, the company has been exploring the deployment of artificial intelligence systems in high Earth orbit and conducting ongoing experiments with in-orbit computing. Its AI hardware payloads have been operating in orbit for more than 2,600 days. The development reflects the growing role of private enterprises in China’s commercial space sector. At a private economy forum held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, on Monday, Song said the company’s goal is to “deploy artificial intelligence in space”. He noted that Hangzhou has brought together aerospace institutions, research centers and space-related companies, creating an ecosystem for commercial space development. The Yunqi Town area, where Eastern Star link and Star Vision are based, is now home to more than 300 aerospace information companies. Eastern Star link’s business has expanded to more than 40 countries and regions. Song that added embracing challenges and setbacks is essential for commercial space development and technological innovation. (By Intern Liu Shuangjing, Zhang Dongfang) 。 UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has come up with a plan to repurpose arable land which is at present used for crop-based biofuels so that more food might be grown as food prices and inflation soar.,However, officials of US President Joe Biden made it clear on 26 June that Washington wouldn't "okay" Johnson's initiative in a bid to protect American farmers and avoid breaking climate commitments. According to the British daily newspaper, The Daily Telegraph, Germany appears to back the British premier's plan whereas Canada and the US have rejected it. Johnson's plan needs the unanimous support from all G7 nations for it to fly.,"I think the rift is one that happens periodically between the UK and US - without minimizing the significance, there have been tensions on trade issues for some years now (including the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on the UK). How serious it becomes is questionable," says Professor Robert Singh, specialist in contemporary US politics at the University of London's Birkbeck College.,UK on Collision Course With US as BoJo Set to Prioritize Food Production Over Green Energy06:06 GMT,Previously, Johnson and Biden clashed over Brexit customs issues and the Northern Ireland Protocol with the American president reportedly accusing the British premier of "inflaming" Irish tensions ahead of the 2021 G7 Summit in Cornwall.,Given the record of friction between Biden and Johnson, it appears likely that if the UK does legislate to revise the Northern Ireland Protocol (NIP), Washington will react negatively, Singh suggests. Downing Street has published a Bill proposing to change the protocol unilaterally in favor of British businesses and communities. It would also grant the British government powers to amend the agreement further if appropriate.,"It's possible that [the NIP amendment] could then inflame the trade issue further," says Singh. "[I]t will worsen the Johnson government's record, at a time when the cost of living crisis, inflation, and many other problems are piling up. It's probably, on balance, yet another own goal by Johnson - an unnecessary diplomatic row that was avoidable.",To complicate matters even more, Johnson skipped a climate summit hosted by Biden for world leaders earlier this month, despite 15 other heads of state and government attending the virtual gathering. According to Politico, the premier's absence "reverses a previous snub from Biden" who declined to attend a climate meeting Johnson hosted on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in 2021.,Yet another diplomatic row rocked London and Washington after the UK issued licences to four British flagged vessels to fish for Patagonian toothfish - also known as Chilean seabass - near Antarctica. Earlier, a 26-member fishing regulatory body, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) set specific catch limits for the species. The US immediately accused Britain of breaching the commission's rules, rendering the catch illegal. The feud could lead to an import ban on Patagonian toothfish, according to the media.,Northern Ireland Protocol Used as Proxy in Tory Efforts to Unseat BoJo, Legal Expert Says14 June, 18:55 GMT,UK-US Spat Can be Fixed Quicker Than That Between UK and EU,The UK-US tensions are unlikely to lead to a serious breach in relations in the near future, insists Dr Roslyn Fuller, director of the non-profit think-tank Solonian Democracy Institute and the author of the book Beasts and Gods: How Democracy Changed Its Meaning and Lost Its Purpose.,"Johnson and Biden are both career politicians and will probably behave pragmatically," says Fuller. "Even were they to exaggerate their differences in the press to play to their respective electorate, this would be unlikely to affect their highly connected working relationship greatly.",Though the NIP issue could cause some additional tensions between the UK and the US, the nations are likely to solve relatively minor dilemmas, such as the spat over the toothfish catch, according to the author.,"As the two major English-speaking powers and neoliberal nations that have cooperated intensely on military matters in the past, it would be quite stupid on their part to indulge in any serious in-fighting," she says. "I think the US is paying increasing attention to Germany as the remaining European superpower, but that doesn't necessarily have to come at the expense of the British.",However, when it comes to the UK and the EU, the rift between them indeed appears to be deepening, according to Fuller:,"Britain also obviously lost faith in the EU and its regulatory regime, and clearly wants to go its own way to the extent that it can," the author says. "This is thus an example of increasing global fragmentation."。
