I don't get the beef you have with them not mentioning Jiaolong.
Trieste and Deepsea Challenger went 3 km and 4 km deeper, that's over 42% and 57% more than Jiaolong's deepest manned dive.
The only reason they call it a record it because it can do manned research deeper than those two, not because it actually goes deeper.

You don't need ulterior political motives to consider Jiaolong in a different class. It's apples and oranges.

United States Begins Flying Stealth Bombers Over South Korea 567

skade88 writes "The New York Times is reporting that the United States has started flying B-2 stealth bomber runs over South Korea as a show of force to North Korea. The bombers flew 6,500 miles to bomb a South Korean island with mock explosives. Earlier this month the U.S. Military ran mock B-52 bombing runs over the same South Korean island. The U.S. military says it shows that it can execute precision bombing runs at will with little notice needed. The U.S. also reaffirmed their commitment to protecting its allies in the region. The North Koreans have been making threats to turn South Korea into a sea of fire. North Korea has also made threats claiming they will nuke the United States' mainland."
