hey, stop being unfair to ABC. To save money and still get reports from far away places like China, they are using 1500’s sailing ships to courier messages, so it was actually very speedy - in fact, it is amazing it got through at all given the lack of navigation equipment and vulnerability to storms!
Nah. Three years to get news from China???
Even in the 1870’s a clipper chip could make it from China to England in one hundred days!
