Malaysian Dragon.

Dragon is symbol of Fear according with Jung's Psychology. Terrorism uses Fear.

But a tamed, befriended Dragon is symbol of Magic & Protection.

While my understanding is still shallow, i can see that presence of Insidious Islam as official Religion, as well as close proximity of Cunning China might make Malaysia a cradle of possible terrorism, of possible conflict that can 'explode' and too easily escalate too far.

i think that when these insidious & cunning influences mix, smart & dangerous people are raised by society, people with exceptional mental capabilities when covert operations, terrorism & warfare are considered.

i call collectively these threats as 'Malaysian Dragon', that hopefully should be adressed by Buddhism with our Loving Kindness & Compassion (Metta & Karuna).

i think we Buddhists should strive for Peace, at least that Way.

Note: there's the Shaolin Temple / Chan Buddhism / in the Henan Province, China. The Shaolin Temple is the cradle of all Martial Arts, as well.


Technology.

At the time of writing this article's part / 10 March 2018 /, China is still leading in the space-to-ground entanglement technology, currently only China has the quantum internet-capable satellite on the Earth's Orbit.


The Chinese experiment demonstrated communication with transmitted images, and followed that up with a 75-minute videoconference on 29 September 2017 secured with quantum-distributed keys.

This is already commonplace on terrestrial fibre networks. China set its sights higher when it launched a satellite named "Micius" in 2016. That craft can create entangled particles used to carry encryption keys.

In June 2017, Chinese researchers demonstrated they could maintain space-to-ground entanglement, and at the same time, also maintained entanglement over a record distance, 1,200 km, between ground stations.

Quantum communications, however, send information embedded in entangled particles of light, in this instance by a satellite named Micius, in a process which is said to be completely unhackable. It's so secure that anyone even attempting to infiltrate the communication without authorization will be uncovered. As Johannes Handsteiner from the Austrian Academy of Sciences explained, "If somebody attempts to intercept the photons exchanged between the satellite and the ground station and to measure their polarization, the quantum state of the photons will be changed by this measurement attempt, immediately exposing the hackers.
