The voracious, inch-long fall armyworm, the larval form of the armyworm moth, can breed rapidly, spread great distances and is hugely difficult to eradicate.

狼吞虎嚥、1吋長的秋行軍蟲，是斜紋夜蛾的幼蟲，可快速繁殖、長距離擴散，且極難根絕。

It has a large impact on a wide range of crops, including important Chinese staples such as rice, soybeans and corn. According to the US report, it may have already spread to a range of southern Chinese provinces including Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Guizhou, Hunan and Hainan.

牠對廣泛作物產生重大衝擊，包括重要的中國主食，比如稻米、大豆與玉米等。根據這份美國報告，該害蟲恐已蔓延到中國南部省分，包括雲南、廣西、廣東、貴州、湖南與海南。

The new pest comes as the Chinese government faces a number of daunting agricultural challenges. Every province in the country has now been affected by African swine fever virus, which is devastating the pork industry.

The Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation bill was passed by lawmakers on Wednesday and will come into force in the next few weeks. The government can now order platforms to remove what it deems to be false statements that are "against the public interest", and to post corrections.

國會議員週三通過「防止網路假訊息與網路操縱法」，將於未來幾週開始實施。星國政府現在可以下令網路平台移除其認為「危害公共利益」的虛假陳述，並發佈更正。

A person found guilty of doing this in Singapore could be fined heavily and/or jailed for up to five years. It also bans the use of fake accounts or bots to spread fake news - this carries penalties of up to S$1m and a jail term of up to 10 years.

星國民眾被判定犯此罪行，將支付鉅額罰款，及（或）判監最高5年。該法也禁止使用假帳號或機器人散播假新聞，違者最高處以100萬星幣罰款，及最高10年徒刑。

But critics say it poses a serious threat to civil liberties. One main criticism is that the law is phrased too broadly and gives ministers too much power to decide what is true or false.

但批評者指出，該法對公民自由構成嚴重威脅。批評重點之一在於該法的措辭過於廣泛，給予部會首長過多權力決斷真假。

Pyongyang first showed off its version of Iskander during a military parade in February last year, and had not test-fired before. "Given, in particular, that the altitude of what North Korea fired on Saturday and yesterday all reached around 50 km, they seem to be the same type of Iskander ballistic missiles," said Shin Jong-woo, a senior analyst at the Korea Defense and Security Forum in Seoul.

平壤在去年2月舉行的一場閱兵時，首次炫耀北韓版的伊斯坎德，此前從未試射。首爾「韓國國防安保論壇」資深分析師申鐘雨（譯音）說，「尤其有鑑於北韓週六（4日）和昨天（9日）的發射物（飛行）高度，都達到約50公里，因此它們似乎與伊斯坎德彈道飛彈型號相同。」

Some suspect that the projectiles fired Thursday could be scud-type missiles or medium-range Nodong ones, but others pointed out scud-type or Nodong missiles should reach a peak elevation of 80 km in order to cover a ground distance of 280 km. "After carrying out an initial test last week on the east coast, the North appears to have taken the weapons to its western region for a next-phase test, which is a typical way of its developing missiles," Shin added.

部分人士猜想，週四的發射物可能是「飛毛腿」型飛彈或中程「蘆洞」飛彈，惟其他人士指出，飛毛腿型或蘆洞飛彈應達到80公里的最大高度，以覆蓋280公里的地面距離（即作戰範圍）。申鐘雨還說，「北韓上週（4日）在其東岸進行初次試射後，為了下一階段的試射，似乎已把這些武器運到其西部地區，這是北韓研發飛彈的典型作法。」
