China showcases advanced military technology at the Zhuhai Air Show
The Business Guardian|November 13, 2024
The extraordinary energy and innovation of China's military-industrial complex show few signs of waning, if exhibits at this year's spectacular Zhuhai Air Show in southern China, not far from Hong Kong, are anything to go by.
China showcases advanced military technology at the Zhuhai Air Show

More formally known as the China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, the 2024 edition is being held in the coastal city of Zhuhai 12-17 November.

Whether it is jet engines screaming overhead during aerobatic demonstrations, diesel engines propelling heavy armoured vehicles over obstacles, or missiles, drones and other technology sitting resplendent in exhibition halls, this air show is the occasion where China shows off its military and technological prowess.

However, the biennial show is still in recovery mode after the impact of COVID-19 and an increasingly authoritarian attitude towards foreign companies and overseas media.

The largest ever iteration of the show occurred in 2018, when 150,000 trade visitors and 300,000 members of the general public flocked to the six-day show. In the same year, 425 members of the media attended.

Kerala High Court: Family pension not subject matter of testamentary disposition, husband cannot exclude wife and children from it by filing application

The Court referred to the Supreme Court decision in the case Jodh Singh v Union of India, wherein the court held that what is not payable during the lifetime of the deceased, over which he has no power of disposition cannot form part of his estate. A family pension can be claimed after the death of the employee - therefore it cannot form part of the employee's estate.
