China just achieved something that could make hacking obsolete forever - or destroy all digital privacy as we know it. Using a tiny satellite and the mysterious principles of quantum physics, Chinese scientists claim to have created truly "unhackable" encryption that even the most advanced computers can't break. But beneath the hype lies a complex reality that could either usher in an era of perfect digital security or spell the end of secrets entirely. In this video, we explore how quantum satellites are reshaping the future of communication and whether this revolutionary technology will protect us or expose us all.
