Taiwan-China undersea cable

[Belgian_Pie]

Taiwan, China to build first undersea cable directly linking Tamsui, Fuzhou

If the project is realized, the cable will become the first of its kind since 1949.

I don’t know but, I think it’s going to be first since … ever!

… and, what’s it going to used for … phone, censored internet? :s

Nah, I think there is one that goes to Hawaii, or England to the U.S. or something, I mean, they communicated with telegraph/phone before satellites, didn’t they?

EDIT: Yeah, there are a bunch of them: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_in … ons_cables

Taiwan to China … direct

[TheAmericanNomad]

Well, maybe there was one before the communist revolution? I dunno, I’m just thinking out loud.

I’m afraid the [strike]Cylons[/strike]Chinese might use it to infect our computer networks with some kind of virus.

Too subtle for a vastly powerful totalitarian regime.

I’m afraid they might use it for TOWING, dragging “the renegade province” back into the fold.

Anyway, there isn’t ROOM in the average Taiwanese computer for any MORE viruses. They’se full up.
