Explanation:

Micius is the world’s first quantum communications satellite, launched by China in 2016. It uses light particles (photons) to establish the world’s most secure communication link. Its security is derived from the Entanglement principle of quantum physics, whereby if one of the photons is manipulated, the other will be similarly affected at the very same moment. Hence both statements are correct.
