* China has carried out its first test of underwater explosives to destroy a port
* Test was used to gather data that can be used for demolitions during a real war
* Underwater bombs could be used to target US ports in conflict, state media said
* Comes after China launched satellite that could crush other spacecraft, and tested what analysts believe to be two hypersonic orbital nukes
China has carried out its first-ever demolition of a port using underwater explosives, a tactic that state media said could be used against the US in the event of a war. Beijing's military carried out the test on Saturday, using underwater charges to destroy a dummy wharf at an undisclosed location somewhere in China.
The technology is designed to cut off enemy supply lines in the event of a conflict, state-owned Global Times newspaper said, adding that sneak attacks using underwater charges will make large vessels like US aircraft carriers vulnerable.

They won't have to worry about it, strike a port in the US and it's all over.
US ports are already inoperable. It is called a union.
When a truck drives says a crane operator at long beach offloads a CONEX an hour or 1 conex sometimes in 3 or 4 hours, the [problem is not that the port is not working 24/7. The problem is the port is not working very much at all.
If a trucker is calling this in, I suggest we make the trucker the secretary of transportation and we let Buttigieg go back to changing diapers and attending 1,095 day seminars and how to fix potholes.
...
I suggest you find out the real cause of the problem. It is a law in place.

Houston, we have a problem.
Port of Los Angeles. Democrat controlled.
3:33 is a Democrat Party loyalist and not one of the apparatchiks. More like a dumchick. The kind the Bolshevik political commissar considers perfect for clearing mine fields by foot.

China has tested the system, nothing prevents it from putting a nuclear warhead.
