Chinese J-10C is now getting Export orders, only because... PAF used them during last Indo-Pak Skirmish to eliminate 8x IAF Fighters. 🇮🇳🐉🇵🇰 BTW, it was the First time when an Indigenous Chinese Platform (J-10C) faced multiple Western and Russian Fighter jets. Before that incident, Chinese Jets were Considered 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿 against Western Platforms but after that Skirmish, Chinese Systems got massive Praise from Defense Boys and Military Analysts. Now, Uzbekistan is about to Receive its First J-10C Fighters, while Multiple other countries like Algeria and Egypt etc have also shown Interests in Procurement of this 4.5 Gen Platform. Talking about Pakistan, PAF bought 36x J-10CE Fighter Jets after 2019 Indo-Pak Skirmish but initially around 20x were delivered and PAF officials have already announced that Pakistan is will Receive some Additional Airframes from China as well.show more

🚨🇵🇰 KAAN on fast track: Pakistan to receive fifth-generation... fighters by late 2028 Pakistan is set to get its hands on advanced KAAN fighter jets two years earlier than planned. The head of TUSAŞ, Turkey’s aerospace giant, has announced that first deliveries will arrive between late 2028 and early 2029 For the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), this is a rare opportunity to obtain a stealth fighter—without the restrictions that often come with Western military technology But Pakistan isn’t just a buyer Nearly 200 Pakistani engineers have already worked on the KAAN project, and there are plans to set up a joint production facility inside Pakistan KAAN (also known as TF-X) at a glance: 🔸 5th-generation stealth design 🔸 Twin engines (U.S.-made General Electric F110 initially, Turkish engines later) 🔸 Top speed: over 2,200 km/h 🔸 Built for air superiority and ground strikes Why it matters: With KAAN, Pakistan will join an elite group of nations—USA, China, Russia, and Turkey—that operate fifth-generation fightersshow more

Since the start of the conflict with Iran, Israeli... Air Force fighter jets have dropped over 2,000 bombs in hundreds of strikes against Iranian regime targets and military sites, according to the IDF. The number is around half of what the IAF used over the entire course of the 12-day war in June 2025 -- but in just 36 hours. During those 36 hours, IAF fighter jets have carried out over 700 sorties, the military says. The military says that it achieved aerial superiority within 24 hours of the start of the operation, after taking out numerous Iranian air defense systems in western Iran. IAF fighter jets are now using "stand-in" weapons over the capital Tehran, meaning bombs dropped directly over their targets, rather than ranged missiles. The military says it seeks to maintain air supremacy as it carries out strikes on regime targets in the Iranian capital. "In recent hours, air force aircraft have been operating with air superiority over the skies of Tehran, striking and destroying numerous targets," the IDF says in a statement. The IDF says that the targets included ballistic missile launchers, air defense systems, and headquarters. At the same time, IAF fighter jets, helicopters, and air defense systems have shot down more than 50 drones launched from Iran at Israel, the military adds.show more

Why Having a Satellite Network is So Important In... 2023, the Russians were about to close a deal with a certain North Korean MLRS, but the deal fell through exactly because the North Koreans, +20 years ago, had revolted against Russian opposition to their nuclear program and switched from GLONASS to BeiDou. Only few years ago, the NK returned to Glonass and started converting their equipment to work with dual GNSS guidance. But why did the deal sour? Because the Chinese did not authorize the use of their satellites in the Ukraine conflict. The same problem occurred with the Belarusian POLONEZ MLRS, which uses missiles based on Chinese technology. Today, Iran has switched from GPS to BeiDou, aiming for greater resistance to jammers and integration with Chinese systems. This shows that a missile program is much more than the missiles themselves. It is necessary to have one's own constellation, even if it is strictly military and regionalized, with resources for monitoring and target acquisition, in addition to the ability to deal with jammers and spoofers. When I mentioned Iran and BeiDou, it is the beginning and serves as a gateway that enables integration with Chinese networks, provided the Chinese decide to allow it. However, it is essentially a massive gateway, with numerous smaller, more specialized sub-channels operating underneath. For targeting moving objects, Iran would need to receive data from the Guowang or Yaogan networks. In the last six months, the Chinese could have provided partial integration. At this stage, since the Iranians are conducting their ISR primarily with drones, I believe the Chinese are not sharing data from the LEO satellites in those networks. Iran also has its own satellites, but the Chinese network is far more mature and likely equipped with a wide array of integration and data-sharing tools. While the Chinese are providing intelligence to Iran, I believe they are prudent in doing so to preserve the relationships they have built with other Arab states. At this moment, I believe that the sharing of intelligence from satellites isn’t in real time. For a country like Iran, it is crucial to have GNSS independence with its own program. The same applies to other medium-sized countries, which need at least an LEO constellation capable of providing the minimum ISR, and this is linked to security, but also a series of other factors. I'll give a practical example here. Drones usually lose link with 50% of their range in the Amazon due to weather conditions. With an LEO constellation, this would not occur. Today, to have independence, a constellation project is necessary.show more

BREAKING: India’s fighter jet just crashed at the world’s... biggest arms bazaar. Here’s why this matters more than you think. A HAL Tejas went down during a live demonstration at Dubai Airshow 2025. Pilot status unknown. Black smoke over the runway. Cameras captured everything. This is the second Tejas crash in 18 months. Why this changes everything: India has a 250-aircraft shortfall. Right now. The Indian Air Force operates 30 fighter squadrons when it needs 42 to secure a 2,100-mile contested border with China. China adds 50 new fighters every year. Pakistan just signed new fighter jet deals at this exact airshow, hours before the crash. The Tejas was supposed to solve this. India spent 40 years and $20 billion building an indigenous fighter to break free from foreign dependence. The plan: manufacture 400+ jets at $42 million each instead of buying French Rafales at $240 million or navigating American strings. Here’s the problem: Russia, India’s traditional supplier, is redirecting everything to Ukraine. Western options are expensive or politically complicated. Chinese jets are flooding markets across 53 countries. India’s defense strategy depends on producing affordable fighters at scale. The nation’s $450 billion infrastructure plan requires stable borders without draining foreign reserves. What just happened: The crash didn’t occur at a remote test site. It happened in front of every defense minister, military buyer, and analyst who matters. At the exact moment India needed to prove indigenous capability works. Pakistan’s delegation was literally in the next hangar closing export contracts for their Chinese co-developed fighters. This isn’t about one aircraft. It’s about whether a nation of 1.4 billion people can manufacture the hardware needed to defend itself, or whether it stays dependent on others during the most volatile geopolitical moment in decades. The strategic math just got brutally harder.show more

IRAN: What about China and Russia? Certainly they’re not... going to provide much kinetic support, but they do not want to see the regime fall. Are either of them providing any support? Israel has secured protection from both the Americans and the Russians, yet it remains poorly regarded by the Chinese. The Russians delivered MiG-29s, some EW systems, and a few helicopters, but to this day, they are postponing the delivery of more modern aircraft. Tel Aviv and Moscow maintain a very strong connection forged by the Soviet diaspora; today, roughly 20% of Israeli households speak Russian. The Chinese, for their part, have raised suspicions regarding the supply of radars and intelligence, but they are proven to be using satellites to photograph and publicly expose American military assets online - a clear demonstration of their involvement and power. This means that, unlike during the 12-day war, Iranian forces will now have direct satellite support. Ironically or not, China’s role in intelligence with Iran appears to mirror exactly the U.S. role with Ukraine. Regarding rumors of Iran receiving S-400s, there is zero evidence of this, and based on Putin’s statements, I do not believe they will proceed. Similarly, there is no visual evidence that the Chinese have provided long-range HQ-9B surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems or YLC-8B radars to Iran. Personally I believe it is possible that radars were delivered, though there is no confirmation. To date, there is no evidence of any Chinese cargo planes landing in Iran over the last few months. Most of the material delivered comes via Mahan Air Boeing 747s. There were also Cargolux flights, but those were also Boeing 747s, and for an HQ-9B system to be delivered, a much larger military airlifter would be required. Above all, these long-range defense systems would have been commissioned and showcased as a deterrent in a country on the brink of being attacked, which has not happened. However, Iran has invested heavily in revamping its own systems, as I reported previously. The Chinese also maintain a very close relationship with the UAE and the Saudis which, similar to the Russian position, limits the extent of massive support for Iran. Iran finds itself in a situation where its two main allies do not hesitate to provide political and intelligence support but remain reticent regarding direct military equipment. Nonetheless, this is a situation Iran has been used to for years, and it has been the primary driver for the development of its own military ecosystem.show more

The Israeli Air Force has dropped over 12,000 bombs... in Iran since the start of the war, in over 8,500 separate strikes on Iranian regime targets, the military says. A senior IAF official says that "in 18 days, we flew as much as we would in a year." Of the 12,000 munitions, 3,600 alone were used in strikes in Tehran, according to the IDF. IAF fighter jets have carried out 5,700 separate sorties, including over 540 to central and western Iran and 50 deeper east in the country. Military officials say that the IAF is carrying out constant air operations over Iran to thwart ballistic missile fire on Israel, using new techniques that allow for longer operations without the need for refueling. In this formation, dubbed "metro sorties" by the IAF, drones and fighter jets loiter before carrying out strikes on ballistic missile launchers, Iranian soldiers, and other targets, based on "real-time information." When a new target is identified, IAF aircraft can be quickly dispatched to strike it. This was the case for the killing of Iran's intelligence minister, Esmaeil Khatib, in Tehran yesterday, according to the IDF. Officials say this effort relies on maintaining air superiority over Iran. The military assesses that its strikes have destroyed around 85% of Iran's air defense and detection systems. More than 300 targets relating to Iran's air defenses, including missile launchers and radars, have been struck, the IDF says. In terms of Iran's advanced air defense systems, the IAF assesses that it has destroyed 92% of them, with only a handful of such systems remaining, including some that are hidden and not in use. The IDF says it has destroyed around 80% of Iran's older air defense systems, along with 80% of its radars. Iran also has what the military describes as "decentralized" air defense systems, where missile launchers are connected to various optical systems, such as rudimentary cameras with artificial intelligence tracking software, to target Israeli aircraft. Some 75% of these systems have been destroyed, and military officials acknowledge they are much harder to locate than the advanced systems. Additionally, the IDF says it has destroyed or disabled around 60% of Iran's estimated 470 ballistic missile launchers. Some previous military estimates put this number at 70%. Around 200 of the launchers were destroyed in strikes, while another 80 are not considered to be operational after the IAF struck tunnel entrances to subterranean facilities where they are stored, according to the military. The IAF says it continues to hunt down the remaining roughly 200 launchers to reduce the missile fire on Israel. The military also assesses that Iran still has hundreds of ballistic missiles that can reach Israel. It has so far launched over 350 at Israel, with the rate of fire slowing to 10-20 missiles a day in the past week, with just one or two missiles at a time.show more

China Successfully Tests New Hypersonic Missile with 8,000 km... Range The Chinese have successfully tested a variant of a hypersonic missile, which is actually a glide vehicle: the DF-27A. The average speed was Mach 8.6, and it covered 2,100 km in 12 minutes. This is just one more in a series of several Chinese anti-ship missiles. While much of the West treats military service as an economic activity, the Chinese are preparing for a real war. There is no room there for playing around with a new class of battleships or listening to the lobby for expensive energy. China has a national industrial and military project that Western nations currently can only dream of achieving. Of course, it's part of the Western style to live life differently. But there is a serious missile gap, with China far ahead of the West. An 8,000 km range means hitting a ship in Hawaii without leaving mainland China. And there are other missile models with ranges of 3,000–4,000 km. Intercepting these hypersonic missiles once launched is extremely difficult, but what can be done is to prevent them from having precise guidance capability. Just as land doctrines are being redesigned, so is naval warfare, by hypersonic missiles and aerial and underwater drones. Projects are now underway for drones capable of bypassing protective nets. Today, the Chinese have more missiles in stock than the Soviets had at their peak. And I won't even mention drones, as the numbers are almost unimaginable. Only a major reform could improve the West’s position. The West is currently developing some missile systems that should be available around 2030, but a doctrinal reform is also necessary. Countries cannot fight in 2025 the same way wars were fought decades ago; a complete reform is required. This reminds me of Ukrainian soldiers who, after being trained in the West and then facing the reality of the battlefield, said that the training was completely inadequate for the kind of war they were actually fighting. It is precisely to avoid this kind of mismatch that reforms need to be carried out. *Illustrative video- may contain inaccuracies.*show more

“MANY YEARS LATER as she sitting on her cold... bench, Sanae Takaichi was to remember that distant afternoon when she uttered some nonsense that may change the course of her country’s history.” The Japanese Prime Minister had no idea how much damage her provocative statements had done to her country and people. On the subject of her potential military threats to China, most Chinese internet community has shown the same answer, writing, "it's a deal, try us." They went on to warn that Japan would face "crushing defeat against the steel-willed People's Liberation Army" and "pay a heavy price" if it repeats its militaristic path. Japan's alleged "survival-threatening situation" is nothing but a complete pretext, as Japanese militarism has repeatedly used the term as an excuse to launch foreign invasions, bringing immense suffering and disaster to the people of Asia, including China, and to the world. Takaichi's comments mark the first time since Japan's defeat in 1945 that a Japanese leader has advocated Japan's "commitment" to Taiwan's security in an official setting while linking it to the exercise of collective self-defense. It is also the first time that a Japanese leader has hinted possibility of military intervention in the Taiwan question and issued a threat of force against China. Her erroneous and provocative remarks came after the Chinese people just celebrated the “80th Anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War “, and a few weeks before the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Day, the deepest scare the Japanese fascists left the Chinese people where the Japanese troops invaded Nanjing, the then Chinese capitals and carried out a massacre that lasted for mire that 40 days, killing 300,000 Chinese civilians and unarmed soldiers and raping 20,000 women, a crime that the Japanese government still tries to deny even today.show more

Wow I must admit that I didn’t expect Tik... Tok refugees to flood the Chinese app Xiaohongshu (RedNote) because of the impending Tik Tok ban in the US. Chinese users are delighted to suddenly be able to practice their English and get to know with American people. I would have never imagined that American people could ever come to a Chinese social media platform. I naively thought all Americans must hate China given the insane amount of propaganda here. And it seems that I was wrong! Can you imagine the shock for an American who’s been told that Uyghurs are being genocided, and who literally ends up in a XHS live with an actual Uyghur saying she was a Muslim from Xinjiang? 😆 Another funny moment was when an American started to ask about the social credit score in China on a live with Chinese people 😅only to be told this is a myth that was fabricated by Western media! But some questions still linger. Will this trend continues or dies away? I guess TT refugees must be looking for monetizing alternatives. But from what I’ve understood so far, the TT refugees really don’t want to go back to any meta app, as they see it as boring, and Zuck as the main culprit behind the Tik Tok ban, as he personally lobbied the US congress to have this bill passed.show more

Today is UN Chinese Language Day—a perfect moment to... celebrate one of the most influential writing systems in human history. For thousands of years, the cultures of China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam were deeply shaped by Chinese civilization. Until the early 20th century, Classical Chinese served as the shared literary and scholarly language across East Asia, much like Latin did in Europe. Chinese characters (汉字 / 漢字) became the common script of the region, later adapted locally as Kanji in Japan, Hanja in Korea, and Chữ Hán in Vietnam. Over time, each country developed its own writing innovations to better express their spoken languages: • Japan created Hiragana (平仮名) and Katakana (片仮名). • Korea invented Hangul (한글). • Vietnam eventually adopted the Latin-based Vietnamese alphabet. Yet the story of Chinese characters themselves is truly fascinating. 🇨🇳 The Legend of Cangjie According to ancient Chinese tradition, the characters were invented by Cangjie (仓颉), a legendary scribe under the Yellow Emperor around the 27th century BCE. While observing the tracks of birds and animals, the patterns of nature, and the constellations in the sky, he created the first symbols—zì (字). Legend says that on the day he succeeded, grains of rice rained from the heavens, and that night ghosts wept—because humanity had just gained the power of written wisdom. UN Chinese Language Day is observed annually on April 20, which was chosen as the date "to pay tribute to Cangjie, who is presumed to have invented Chinese characters about 5,000 years ago". Chinese characters are the world’s oldest continuously used writing system and one of the most widely used by number of speakers. In Chinese mainland since the 1950s, the government promoted simplified characters to boost literacy. Meanwhile, traditional characters continue to thrive in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. You’ll still see both versions depending on the context—books, signs, calligraphy, or digital media. 🇯🇵 Japan: Kanji + Kana Chinese writing reached Japan around the 5th century CE. The Japanese adapted the characters as kanji and cleverly developed two new scripts from them: • Hiragana, flowing and cursive, used for grammar and native words. • Katakana, angular and sharp, mainly for foreign loanwords and emphasis. Modern Japanese is an effective mixture: kanji carry the core meaning of words, while hiragana and katakana handle the rest. Japanese students learn 2,136 joyo kanji by the end of high school, with many more used in daily life. 🇰🇷🇰🇵 Korea: From Hanja to Hangul For most of Korean history, Literary Chinese written in Hanja (한자) was the official script—from the Gojoseon era all the way through the Joseon Dynasty. Even after King Sejong the Great created the beautiful Hangul alphabet in 1443, it took centuries for it to fully replace Literary Chinese in official and scholarly writing. Today, Hanja is still essential for reading historical documents, classical literature, and academic texts. Anyone seriously studying Korean history or the humanities needs a solid command of Chinese characters. 🇻🇳 Vietnam: From Chữ Hán to Quốc Ngữ In Vietnam, Chinese characters (Chữ Hán) dominated official and scholarly writing until the early 20th century. Around the 13th century, Vietnamese scholars created Chữ Nôm—a unique system that combined Chinese characters with newly invented ones to write the Vietnamese language. It was especially popular for recording folk poetry and literature. During French colonial rule, the Latin-based Vietnamese alphabet (Quốc Ngữ) gradually took over. Today, Chinese characters and Chữ Nôm are mostly reserved for cultural and ceremonial purposes—like traditional calligraphy, temple inscriptions, and cultural festivals. Happy UN Chinese Language Day!show more

🇮🇳 & Cavemen Misconceptions Before Conflict: Public Support India... believed that Pakistan’s polarized environment would prevent its people from supporting their armed forces. They were proven wrong when the Pakistani nation united resolutely against India. The Taliban assumed they could leverage the "Islamic biradar card" to avoid Pakistan’s retaliation. However, fed up with terrorism, the Pakistani people overwhelmingly supported action against terrorists. International Support India assumed years of diplomatic posturing, amplified by Jaishankar’s laser eyes moments, would rally global support and isolate Pakistan. They failed miserably on the diplomatic front. Afghanistan expected China and Russia to come to their rescue, but the international community had largely abandoned them, urging compliance with the Doha Agreement. Propaganda Warfare India believed its vast media apparatus would dominate the international narrative. Instead, they became a laughingstock after falsely claiming to destroy Lahore’s nonexistent seaport, losing credibility both globally and domestically. Afghan accounts, backed by Indian support, thought fake news and emotional propaganda would incite panic in Pakistan. Their efforts backfired, exposing and embarrassing them. Military Response India, clinging to the delusions of 2019, believed a border would shield their jets and limit the conflict to an aerial skirmish. They were stunned when seven Indian jets were shot down deep in their territory, showcasing Pakistan’s military resolve and shocking the world. Afghanistan assumed their sleeper cells and guerrilla tactics would keep Pakistan on the defensive without retaliation. Pakistan disproved this by striking Kabul twice in one week with its air force, with more actions likely to follow. Superiority Complex One important aspect to add in this is the strange superiority complex both these countries cling onto, one sees itself as a global superpower, while the other boasts of defeating superpowers. Each is trapped in its own delusions, and Pakistan has taken the responsibility to bring them back to reality. Current Threats Now, both India and Afghanistan think they can pressure Pakistan with threats of water disputes, terrorism, or political unrest. To them, I offer this quote: "Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot that it do singe yourself."show more

🇨🇳🇮🇶 This is Ahmed Mohammed Jaber Alkalthoom, a 30-year-old... from Iraq. The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 turned this child from a wealthy family into a displaced refugee. He left his homeland and went to Syria. He was only 9 years old that year. During the war, one of Alkalthoom’s eardrums was ruptured, leaving him with hearing in just one ear. Nine years later, conflict erupted in Syria as well. In the midst of the Syrian war, Alkalthoom not only endured emotional trauma but also suffered physical injuries. While out buying food one day, he was caught in crossfire and was shot. Afterward, Alkalthoom moved between Lebanon and Egypt before finally arriving in Ningxia, China. There, he began learning Chinese and adopted the name “Wang Lixuan.” The people of China were very kind to him, and he became one of the most popular food bloggers on Chinese social media, affectionately nicknamed “Iraqi Lao Wang.” Lao Wang said that when he first arrived in China, he would get startled whenever someone honked their car horn. On his first day, he fell into deep despair because he thought he heard “gunfire” and saw “troops gathering.” However, he quickly realized he had misunderstood. People around him explained that it wasn’t a military operation but students participating in military training exercises. During the 2024 Spring Festival, while recording food videos in Henan, he was eating at a barbecue stall when the sudden sound of firecrackers frightened him. For a few seconds, his eyes were filled with fear. “I thought it was the sound of a bomb exploding.” Once he realized he was safe, he let out a bitter smile, shook his head, and continued eating. Lao Wang says that so far, he has learned to write three Chinese characters: “爱” (love) and “和平” (peace).show more

‼️🇯🇵🇨🇳 BREAKING - Due to the threat from China,... Japan will allocate an additional $5.4 billion in its 2025 budget for missiles and ships. Japan’s government has approved an additional $5.4 billion in 2025 to purchase extra ships and anti-ship systems. The corresponding document was published by Japan’s Ministry of Defense. The supplementary budget is allocated separately from the main defense funding. Specifically, $370 million is allocated for the acquisition of SSM-2 anti-ship missiles and Type-12 coastal defense missile systems. It is noteworthy that the missiles planned for delivery are not long-range versions — their maximum range will be up to 250 km. Japan will also purchase Type-03 Kai medium-range surface-to-air missile systems. The systems will be deployed on Yonaguni Island, located about 110 km from Taiwan. In total, Japan’s Ministry of Defense plans to acquire 29 batteries of the new surface-to-air missile systems. At the same time, about $800 million will be directed primarily toward accelerating orders for the construction of military vessels — specifically, multi-purpose frigates and submarines. In addition, part of the budget will accelerate purchases of UH-2 multi-role helicopters produced by Subaru. It should be recalled that the adjustment of Japan’s military budget is taking place in the context of the threat coming from China, especially following the national-security comments of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who emphasized that a Chinese attack on Taiwan would threaten Japan itself, and that Tokyo might become a party to this conflict. For this reason, China has intensified its propaganda campaign, accusing Japan of returning to militarism and imperialist approaches. Moreover, in recent days, incidents involving increased activity of Chinese forces near Japanese territory have become more frequent. In response to China’s increased violations of Japan’s borders, both at sea and in the air, Japan’s Ministry of Defense announced the deployment of Type-03 air-defense batteries and electronic warfare systems on Yonaguni Island, 110 km from Taiwan — a move that sparked even greater dissatisfaction in Beijing. Japan’s multi-billion-dollar special boost, aimed at rapidly strengthening its military capabilities, suggests that geopolitical tectonic shifts may soon begin in East Asia and across the Indo-Pacific basin. Furthermore, the strengthening of Yonaguni Island — and Japan’s effort to turn it into an “unsinkable aircraft carrier” — signals that Japan does not intend to passively wait while China begins its struggle for state hegemony through the use of hard power, which would primarily affect neighboring states.

I finished watching the House hearing on Sudan. Ken... Isaacs a Humanitarian from Samaritans purse offered a valuable and highly factual assessment of the situation in Sudan and while I didn’t agree with some of Cameron Hudson’s end conclusions I don’t doubt his integrity or intentions. However, as usual Kholood Khair used her platform to push the Taqqadum narrative on this war that is completely divorced from reality and by default shields the RSF. Firstly the claim that this is a counter revolutionary war is nonsensical. The revolution ended in 2019 when the military leadership, Taqqadum and the RSF agreed to share power and RSF militiamen were sent in the next day to remove sit-in protestors massacring them in the process. This war started simply because the RSF militia rejected Army pressure to have their force dissolved. And with UAE financial backing and political backing from Taqqadum (who are jaded after the Army ousted them from their power sharing deal in 2021) a plan was set in motion to takeover the Sudanese State. With the RSF first attempting to neutralise the Sudanese Airforce at Meroe before launching a full scale attempt to takeover the Capital Khartoum and by extension the Sudanese State on April 15th 2023. An attack that the Army failed to prepare for due to serious military failings. Taqqadum and their affiliates however want you to believe that this war was started by shadowy remnants of Bashir’s ousted regime who wanted to suppress a revolution that had already been suppressed 4 years ago, against (non Islamist) Burhan led rule. This false narrative is ridiculous and implausible, for one these revolutionaries that this war is supposedly really against have volunteered in their thousands to fight this genocidal militia. These false narratives are only able thrive because in Western spaces the only Sudanese allowed a voice are those belonging to Taqqadum and their affiliates. The truth is Sudanese do not view the Army and the RSF as being remotely similar and there are a thousand and one clips that I can share that would attest to that. And as Ken Isaacs said what they’ve consistently observed is that Sudanese are always fleeing from the RSF militia to the safety of Army or armed group controlled areas. The Sudanese people know they have an army that needs reforming but they also know that the Army is the only force capable of dismantling this genocidal UAE sponsored militia that continues to terrorism them. As long as Western officials and diplomats continue to exclusively platform those affiliated with a political grouping (who’s support is largely limited to a fringe of the diaspora) the disconnect between the West and the Sudanese society will only continue to grow.show more

In the blink of an eye, time flies really... fast - Not only in the last few months but also since 2017... Fellow fighters have delivered excellent results by showing the West that we are the new Chinese who are a group of people opposed to the Communism and committed to promoting peace with other Nations. Remarkably, the knowledge and courage that everyone has put into action have been very professional and improving over time. The international community will soon witness a significant moment - The battle stage between the NFSC and CCP, which is coming ever closer. Everything will start with the congressional investigation into CCP No.1 Enemy, Mr. Miles Guo case, and it's going to be a long and deep process and people will realize that the most powerful Anti-CCP bill comes down to Mr. Miles Guo freedom, and it won't be long from now. The fact is CCP have used a massive amount of their moves to destroy the NFSC, which they can use as much as they want because Mr. Miles Guo is still able to step outside, regardless of the amount of cards they have tried and it will be much easier for him to counterattack against the CCP once they have wasted plenty of resources. Very soon, we will have the greatest opportunity to see the Anti-CCP plan a lot more detail that Mr. Miles Guo has been preparing for a very long time.show more

China's central bank has now bought gold for 19... months straight, the largest official buyer on earth. And this week, as gold broke 4,000 dollars, China's biggest banks moved to push ordinary Chinese out of leveraged gold trading, with at least one warning it will liquidate any position not closed by month-end. Both are true at once, and together they explain what this crash really is. Start with what is being banned, because the words matter. ICBC and a string of other banks are shutting down retail trading in what the Chinese themselves call paper gold, the margined, leveraged contracts where you bet on the price without ever owning a bar. Some banks lifted the margin requirement to 140 percent to choke the leverage off before closing the products outright. Physical gold, meanwhile, stays wide open. Coins, bars, savings plans, ETFs, all fine. It is only the paper, the leverage, the casino, that is being shut, the last step in a five-year retreat that the crash just finished. Officially this is about protecting small investors, and that part is real. The same kind of leverage wiped out a wave of Chinese retail in a 2020 commodity blowup. But set the ban beside what the state is doing and something larger comes into view. While its citizens are pushed out of the paper, the People's Bank of China has spent those same 19 months buying the physical metal, more than two thousand three hundred tonnes of it now, accumulating straight through a 28 percent crash that scared everyone else out. Beijing is not trading gold. It is hoarding it. That is the strategy in one frame. China looked at the two things both called gold, the paper bet and the physical bar, and made a choice no Western government would make. It is taking the metal for the state and closing the casino for everyone else. The reason sits in a single date. 2022, when Russia's reserves were frozen with a keystroke. That taught every country outside the Western system one lesson: dollars in an account can be switched off, gold in your own vault cannot. So China is building its monetary independence out of the one asset nobody can freeze, and it does not want that foundation in the hands of leveraged traders who panic-sell in a crash, or priced by a paper market it does not control. Watch this month and the two worlds split in real time. Western investors were forced out of their gold by margin calls and a rate scare. China's central bank bought that exact dip with both hands. One side treats gold as a trade. The other treats it as the floor under a currency. The West is selling paper gold and calling it a crash. China is buying physical gold and calling it a foundation. In ten years, only one of them will look like it understood what gold was for. The metal is already moving to that side.show more

Arms sales: China Needs More Responsibility Instead of Glorifying... the Market It's been a while since Beijing stopped picking sides in wars, they just want to win at all costs. They sell weapons, components, or drones to both contenders, rake in huge profits, and still claim to be "neutral and peaceful." Pragmatism without hypocrisy, and it's nothing new. In Ukraine, at the start of the war, components and drones served both sides. Later, they cut off direct supplies to both, but everyone kept buying through third parties, and the Chinese obviously know about it. Profit guaranteed. In the recent Thailand-Cambodia war, they sold VT-4 tanks and S26T submarines to Thailand, and guided missiles - to destroy the tanks sold to Thailand?-, rockets, and artillery to Cambodia. Chinese weapons exchanging fire from both sides, but the Chinese say it's just "normal defense cooperation." Israel and Iran is another perfect example: a Chinese state-owned company has been operating the port of Haifa in Israel since 2021 and is now involved in rebuilding the destruction caused by Iranian missiles, while selling ballistic missile components to Iran to repeat the feat and financing Iran's reconstruction until Israel repeats it too. In Africa, the effect is the same: in Sudan, they sold to the government, and weapons ended up with the RSF paramilitaries because they were also bought by the Emirates and passed on to Sudanese rebels; in the DRC, they sell to the government, but Chinese weapons also end up with militias like M23 through resale by Uganda and Rwanda; in Libya, they sold to Gaddafi, but right after his fall, they kept doing business with both main factions, and still do today. None of this started now. A classic from the 80s: in the Iran-Iraq war, China was the biggest supplier to BOTH sides at the same time, billions in tanks, missiles, and artillery for each. Obviously, this kind of policy was done by the West a long time ago, but it always faced criticism from the media. Anyone in the arms market knows that the Chinese maintain strict control over their sales. Even simple price quotes are centralized and selective. There's no way the government doesn't know exactly where the weapons are going. They're making the same mistakes the West made in the past.show more

The Xiaomi SU7 just keeps crashing in China -... Part 3 This is getting out of hand. Every day, we see new videos on Chinese social media of crashing Xiaomi SU7 sedans. We only post 25% or so, there is much more. Since our last Xiaomi crash-post on April 6, at least 10 new crashes have happened. Whenever a new model is launched, photos of crashes of that car start to appear on Chinese social media, just because people pay attention. Normally, after a few months, the attentions is over and the model really crashes as much as any other car. But in case of the Xiaomi SU7, something more seems to be going on. The latest videos show SU7 sedans in a ditch and against barriers. The 2nd video is interesting. It shows an SU7 on a parking lot, crashing into a Chery QQ that was parked there. Perhaps the auto-park function didn't notice the small QQ and went for it? There have been reports in Chinese media that insurance companies are refusing to insure the SU7. Xiaomi and the insurers have stated that these reports are false. We will try to find out more about insurance prices for the SU7. The RWD SU7 Pro has 220 kW, the AWD Max has 673 kW and the AWD Ultra has 1138 kW. When the SU7 launched, there was a problem with the brakes. This has since been fixed, according to Xiaomi. Also, the launch of the Ultra has led to some debate in China, about whether it is wise to sell a 1138 kW (1548 hp) car to anyone who can afford it. And with a $72.7K price tag, that's a lot of people. Xiaomi #ChineseCars #China Porsche #Crash #CarCrash #CarNewsshow more
