At a distance!
For the first time in history, china announces they have created a working long distance version of quantum communication. They can now send encrypted messeges 16km (10 miles) between listening stations.
This means they have a means of communication that can reach from a sattelite to the earth, and that is encrypted in a way that is ensured by the laws of physics. It is theoretically impossible to intercept it without the other party knowing.
They can now talk to submarines deep underwater without the need to resurface. This is actually a major breakthrough, from a military perspective. Unbreakable encryption, faster than the speed of light, at a relitavely long distance.
