Pakistan's close friend refuses to give THIS weapon while India is producing them at large scale, weapon is..., friend's name is...
New Delhi: China Denies Hypersonic Missiles to Pakistan: China has rejected Pakistan's demand, in which it had asked for hypersonic missiles and its manufacturing technology (ToT). According to reports, China has clearly said that these missiles are not yet available for export and no such version has been made yet which can be given to other countries. What did Pakistan ask for? Pakistan wanted this missile so that it could compete with India's rapidly growing missile technology and hypersonic systems. India is already testing missiles like HSTDV, which are very fast and advanced. Two main reasons are being given for China's refusal. First, the performance of the Chinese weapons already available with Pakistan has been weaker than expected. Second, China fears that Pakistan may share this technology with Western countries. Although Pakistan has received fighter jets and missile systems from China before, China did not show confidence in sensitive technology like hypersonic missiles. Why was Pakistan denied this weapon? According to a defense website, China makes special export versions for its other weapons like J-10CE fighter aircraft or HQ-9 air defense system, but hypersonic missiles are so advanced and sensitive that it does not want to send them abroad. It is China's policy that very modern and powerful weapons, which can disturb the balance in the world, should not be given to other countries. Will Pakistan develop these weapons at home? Pakistan wanted to buy these missiles and also learn to make them itself, but China's refusal has dealt a big blow to it. This can hamper Pakistan's efforts to compete with India. According to sources, China considers hypersonic technology an important part of its strategic security, especially against the US and its allies. This is the reason why it does not want to give such sensitive missile technology to a close country like Pakistan as it can increase international pressure and political tension. Another reason is that China is currently working towards improving these missiles further and producing them on a large scale. Until this process is completed, it is not ready to transfer it to any other country.

DeepSeek faces expulsion from app stores in Germany
HighlightsGermany's data protection commissioner Meike Kamp has requested that Apple Inc. and Google LLC remove the Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek from their app stores due to concerns over illegal data transfers to China. DeepSeek has been criticized for failing to provide adequate evidence that the personal data of German users is protected in China at a level comparable to that within the European Union. The technology company DeepSeek has faced scrutiny in multiple countries, with Italy already blocking its app and the Netherlands banning its use on government devices due to data security concerns. Germany 's data protection commissioner has asked Apple and Google to remove Chinese AI startup DeepSeek from their app stores in the country due to concerns about data protection, following a similar crackdown elsewhere. Commissioner Meike Kamp said in a statement on Friday that she had made the request because DeepSeek illegally transfers users' personal data to China. The two US tech giants must now review the request promptly and decide whether to block the app in Germany, she added, though her office has not set a precise timeframe. Google said it had received the notice and was reviewing it. DeepSeek did not respond to a request for comment. Apple was not immediately available for comment. According to its own privacy policy, DeepSeek stores numerous pieces of personal data, such as requests to its AI programme or uploaded files, on computers in China. "DeepSeek has not been able to provide my agency with convincing evidence that German users' data is protected in China to a level equivalent to that in the European Union," Kamp said. "Chinese authorities have far-reaching access rights to personal data within the sphere of influence of Chinese companies," she added. The commissioner said she took the decision after asking DeepSeek in May to meet the requirements for non-EU data transfers or else voluntarily withdraw its app. DeepSeek did not comply with this request, she added. DeepSeek shook the technology world in January with claims that it had developed an AI model to rival those from U.S. firms such as ChatGPT creator OpenAI at much lower cost. However, it has come under scrutiny in the United States and Europe for its data security policies. Italy blocked it from app stores there earlier this year, citing a lack of information on its use of personal data, while the Netherlands has banned it on government devices. Belgium has recommended government officials not to use DeepSeek. "Further analyses are underway to evaluate the approach to be followed," a government spokesperson said. In Spain, the consumer rights group OCU asked the government's data protection agency in February to investigate threats likely posed by DeepSeek, though no ban has come into force. US lawmakers plan to introduce a bill that would ban U.S. executive agencies from using any AI models developed in China. Reuters exclusively reported this week that DeepSeek is aiding China's military and intelligence operations.

Alibaba unveils latest AI service for images in push for users
HighlightsAlibaba Group Holding Ltd. introduced Qwen VLo, an upgraded artificial intelligence model capable of generating images from text and modifying existing images, as part of its Qwen brand. The new Qwen VLo model features progressive generation technology, allowing users to observe the image creation process in real-time, enhancing user interaction and creativity. With a focus on artificial general intelligence, Alibaba aims to compete with other technology leaders in the rapidly evolving AI market, responding to innovations from companies like DeepSeek and OpenAI. Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. unveiled a new iteration of its artificial-intelligence technology that will make it easier for users to generate and modify images from texts and visuals, as the Chinese ecommerce giant continues its aggressive push into AI. The Hangzhou-based company introduced Qwen VLo , part of a series of AI services under the company's Qwen brand. The new model is an upgrade from Qwen2.5-VL and is now able to generate text-to-image and image-to-image results. It also has a technology called progressive generation, meaning users can see the process as an image is created. 'This newly upgraded model not only 'understands' the world but also generates high-quality recreations based on that understanding,' the company said in a blog post. 'You can directly send a prompt like 'Generate a picture of a cute cat' to generate an image or upload an image of a cat and ask 'Add a cap on the cat's head' to modify an image.' Best known for its ecommerce operations in China, Alibaba has been charging into AI and building standalone offerings around Qwen. In February, Chief Executive Officer Eddie Wu went so far as to say the company's 'primary objective' is now artificial general intelligence , a goal in the industry to build AI systems with human-level intellectual capabilities. With the new Qwen multimodal model , it's aiming to compete with a flurry of new visual interfaces in the market, including from OpenAI. It also faces aggressive domestic competition from the likes of DeepSeek. After DeepSeek stunned the industry with a powerful model it said took just a few million dollars to build, China's technology leaders flooded the market with a rapid succession of low-cost AI services. Alibaba has rapidly updated its Qwen series, adding new capabilities to process text, pictures, audio and video — with the efficiency to run directly on phones and laptops. It unveiled a new version of its AI assistant Quark app in March.
