China develops global missile defence prototype rivaling US 'Golden Dome': Report

In a major technological development, China has reportedly built a first-of-its-kind missile defence system capable of tracking and countering threats from anywhere in the world. The system, called the "distributed early warning detection big data platform," has been compared to the United States' Golden Dome project proposed by President Donald Trump, according to a report by The South China Morning Post. As per the report, the defence system is still in its early stages of development but can simultaneously monitor up to 1,000 missiles fired at China from across the globe. The system is part of the People's Liberation Army’s (PLA) strategic research and development in advanced defence technology.
