Chinese ship comes ‘within 45 yards’ of US destroyer in South China Sea

Image
An American navy ship came dangerously close to a Chinese warship during a recent exercise, forcing the US destroyer to perform evasive manoeuvres to avoid a collision. The incident has been called an “unsafe” encounter between the two ships by Pentagon officials, and at one point the Chinese ship was reportedly around 45 yards from the American vessel. “A [Chinese] Luyang destroyer approached USS Decatur in an unsafe and unprofessional manoeuvre in the vicinity of Gaven Reef in the South China Sea,“ Captain Charles Brown, a spokesman for US Pacific Fleet, said in a statement. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2xSFOrz via Latest News

Syria rebels deny withdrawing arms from north under deal

Image
Syrian rebels on Sunday denied pulling any heavy arms out of a major opposition bastion in the north, as the deadline to implement a demilitarisation deal there draws closer. Regime ally Moscow and rebel backer Ankara agreed earlier in September to create a buffer zone around the opposition stronghold of Idlib that would be free of both jihadists and heavy arms. The deal has so far averted a massive assault on the region by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government, but its implementation is expected to be complex. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2y4N8Q6 via Latest News

Xiaomi disables ability to flash Global ROM on its Chinese phones

It's no secret that phones in China cost less than they do outside of China, which makes it tempting to import one.

MIUI in China replaces Google services (which are banned in the country) and has other tweaks. Gray import phones (bought in China on the cheap, but used elsewhere) usually have a way to enable the Play Services, but they still feature a bunch of Chinese apps and services that you won't use so it's basically full of bloatware.
