<p>In early December, China launched its third batch of low Earth orbit, or LEO, internet satellites for a constellation called Qianfan or “Thousand Sails” as it’s also known. The project aims to rival SpaceX’s Starlink and will be made up of 15,000 satellites. China is also working on two other satellite constellations: Guo Wang and Honghu-3, which have plans to deploy 13,000 and 10,000 satellites respectively. Experts say having its own satellite internet systems will grant China geopolitical influence and national security. But currently, China needs more rockets to launch all if its planned satellites to orbit.</p>

<p>To counter slumping sales, fast-food companies are either bringing chicken tenders back to their menus or experimenting with how they&#8217;re normally eaten, like putting them in a salad or in a wrap.

In October, struggling chicken chain and Yum Brands subsidiary KFC launched its new Original Recipes Tenders by calling for a chicken tenders war against rivals like Chick-fil-A and Popeyes. Even McDonald&#8217;s is jumping on the chicken tenders bandwagon.</p>
