CHINA has been secretly developing Trojan Horse-style missiles hidden in shipping containers that can be unleashed on enemy ports, experts warn.

Military analysts believe the country’s huge fleet of freighters and fishing vessels could be turned into warships with the use of the secretive container missiles.

Disguised as a regular shipping containers, they can be sneaked on board a vessel to blend in seamlessly with the hundreds of others on board.

The sheer number of container ships in the world makes them harder to pinpoint than warships in the event of war.

Like the fabled Trojan Horse, the missiles would be quietly smuggled into or near an enemy port on a civilian vessel before being unleashed in a surprise attack.

n 2019, a report indicated that China was building a variant of the YJ-18

long-range cruise missile that can be fired from standard shipping containers

loaded on Chinese-flagged merchant vessels.1 Given that China is the second-largest ship-owning nation in the world, controlling over 5,600 vessels

with a capacity of 270 million deadweight tonnage (dwt),2 deploying container-launched missiles on its merchant fleet would significantly enhance

China’s warfighting capabilities. The State-owned China Ocean Shipping

Company (COSCO) is the world’s largest shipping company with over 800

merchant vessels (74.5 million dwt).

3 It is the world’s third-largest container

shipping company, operating 507 container vessels with a combined capacity

of 3.1 million twenty-foot equivalent units, which could be equipped with

these new lethal missile batteries.4

The Chinese missile system is similar to the Russian Klub-K container

missile system. Once perfected, it will provide China with a long-range precision strike capability that can engage both surface combatants and landbased targets. Some of the advantages of the container-launched system include:

(1) The missiles are housed in a standard maritime shipping container, making them difficult to detect.

(2) The system can be designed to use containers of different loading capacities (e.g., 20- or 40-foot containers) depending on the mission

On Saturday, Antifa activists attacked a young couple on Berlin’s rapid train transit system (S-Bahn) who had been involved in protesting against COVID-19 measures and mandatory vaccines in Germany.

The couple were not wearing a mask when they got on the S-Bahn train line 42, which is a requirement in Germany usually enforced by the police or other government authorities. Around 20 masked individuals got on the train, and one of them screamed, “Antifa mask control.”

The Antifa activists, who were a part of a counter-demonstration, forcibly removed the couple from the train at the Gesundbrunnen station for refusing to put on a mask. Only individuals who have proof a COVID-19 vaccination or negative test status are allowed to ride the S-Bahn.

One of the “anti-fascist” members spoke with Berliner Zeitung, saying: “The certificates are probably not real. Now, we have to do the job of the police.”

Q. I am 13 weeks pregnant. I was constipated for two days, but today I had bad diarrhea. As a result, I developed a super uncomfortable hemorrhoid.

Two over-the-counter medicines didn’t work. The pain was horrible, and the area was both itchy and swollen. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I told my dad about my problem. He said that my grandpa used to apply Vicks VapoRub.

I could hardly believe this, but I figured what the heck. To my surprise, it worked. I feel so much better!

A. Vicks VapoRub is an unorthodox hemorrhoid remedy, but many readers agree with you that it can soothe pain and relieve itching. Others, however, have complained that it produces a feeling of spontaneous combustion in the nether region. One reader described his butt discomfort this way: “Mayday, tail on fire!”

As a result of such comments, we have discouraged use of Vicks on that area of the anatomy. The makers of VapoRub state quite clearly that it is “for external use only” and should not be used “on wounds or damaged skin.”
