Morbid story from Chinese Twitter.
She calls herself "Akid"
Wang Yi was born in China 37 years ago.

For several months, people tuned in on twitter and patreon to watch her die in Japan.

She starved to death last week
1/🧵 Image
Akid worked for Elephant Magazine, a Media company with ties with various foreign NGOs

One of the media channel they managed was called Paper Clip.

It had tens of millions of followers on Chinese social media, BUT several of their employees were outed to have worked for the CIA Image
The Elephant Magazine has been spreading neoliberal propaganda in China since 2014, the government finally put an end to it in 2021.

Akid works for this company, so you already know what her political stances are.

Or do you?
Neoliberals tend to pretend to believe in universal values, albeit in a pretentious way.

But not for Akid, she fully embodied the mindset of a self-hating Chinese.

She has been using the term Chlnk on twitter since 2011.

The redlined words are the term chlnk in Chinese Image
Since the closure of Elephant Magazine in 2021, this self-hating Chinese left China.

She went to her spiritual homeland in Japan

and for few months she's been there, she turned from this: Image
into this:

The few months she's been to Japan, she's been surviving on donations from other self-hating Chinese and picking free leftovers from the supermarket. Image
She loves Japan, loved Shinzo Abe, loves the US and loved Trump.

She hated China, hated being Chinese.
She sees herself as "high quality Chinese" that has "freedom of thought", and knows the "truth" Image
Yet, as she lay in her rented apartment in Japan, begging for food from followers, she doesn't stop at making jabs at China.

As if she's not even aware of the fact that she's dying from hunger in Japan

A country who she claimed to be perfect and respects its own people. Image
After news of her death broke out, the Japanese authorities contacted Akid's parents.

They waived the rights to her body and left it for the Japanese authorities to deal with.

Her family to still disown her after death Image
Now, she's dead, her friends suddenly appear as flies round a decomposing corpse

Making eulogies, yet interestingly, not a SINGLE WORD on how a person can starve to death in front of everyone in Japan.

In a countries these types of people have elevated to the status of utopia

Image

Image
Akid exhibits the very common traits among shelf-hating Chinese.

That is, no matter how good they had it in China, they will ALWAYS find something to complain about and hate.

But as soon as they move to the West, no matter how bad they have it, they will NEVER complain
🔸Did she get more freedom?

No, Akid has been calling Chinese "Chlnks" since 2011, when she worked for that CIA funded media management company in China

🔸Did she become more prosperous?

No she starved to death in Japan
While dreaming of a rich western lifestyle Image
Before the government started cleaning up the Chinese social media space, influencers were made up of people like Akid.

They perpetuated the propaganda of China having an original sin, no matter what China does, it must be wrong.

Over time, they started hating their own skin. Image

Comprehensive minute-by-minute illustrative thread, on how the Chinese aircraft carrier Fujian conducts cyclical attack operation.
🧵1/15

The optimal air wing composition:
⏺️24x J-35(green & red), divided into 2 attack waves of 12 each.
⏺️24x J-15T (blue & purple), divided into 2 attack waves of 12 each.
⏺️4x J-15D electronic warfare fighter (orange).
⏺️4x J-600 AEW&C (light blue).
⏺️~10 helicopters (black) for anti-submarine, search and rescue missions.Image
Cyclical operations are the most common attack mode of aircraft carriers, they divide the carrier airwing into attack waves and launch them with intervals in between.

This allows sustained operation for a long periods of time. Image
🔹Wave 1 (green J-35 stealth fighters) takes 12 minutes to launch 12x J-35, + 2 min to launch 1x KJ-600 (light blue) + 1 min to launch 2x J-15D EW fighter (orange).
= 15 minutes.

**Catapults can launch aircraft with 30 second intervals.Image

A comprehensive thread about Chinese aircraft carrier operations.

How do we compare to the US aircraft carrier operations?

For the PLA navy, there are 2 main types of carrier attacks:
🔹Full-deck strike (Full deck sortie).
🔹Cyclical operation.
1/11🧵 Image
Full-deck strike is when we launch all fighters in a single strike package.

Cyclical operation is when we divide the fighters into attack waves, and launch them sequentially.

Full-deck strike is used when you want overwhelming firepower delivered in the initial phase of combat.
However, full-deck strike cannot be sustained for long, since all the fighters would need to land in a short span of time, which puts immense pressure on the deck crew to rearm and refuel.

The most important characteristics to 6th generation fighter is stealth.

6th gen stealth means, All-Aspect Stealth (stealthy from all directions) and Broadband (multi-spectrum) stealth.

What is it, how does it work?
1/8🧵 Image
5th gen stealth is achieved by aligning control surfaces to as fewer directions as possible, this edge alignment ensures radar signals are reflected back towards specific directions.

This is a simplified explanation without going into specular reflections or creeping waves etc. Image
Image
HOWEVER, the problem with 5th gen stealth is that they are detectable by low frequency radars with long wavelengths.

Resonant scattering is when radar waves interact with a target in a way that causes them to be scattered strongly, often at specific frequencies, due to the target's size and shape resonating with the radar's wavelength.

India will most likely procure the Su-57 to meet the challenges of Pakistan's J-35A supplied by China.

How does the 2 fighter compare?

An objective comparison between the J-35a and Su-57.
Thread🧵 Image
Image
🔹Stealth

From edge alignment to detail treatment, the J-35A is leagues ahead of Su-57, which has many protrusions and inconsistent surface treatment that are detrimental to radar stealth. Image
Image
Issues such as right angled seams, rounded engine protrusions, and the glaring "pimple" of an EOTS at the front, will all contribute to radar reflections. Image

It's June 4th, the anti-China shills are out of the woodwork for the "Tiananmen square massacre".

A thread of 1st hand video describing the incident:

1️⃣the photographer who took the famous Tank Man photo, he stated the protesters were the one who started killing soldiers:
1/7
2️⃣The PLA were RESPONDING TO a violent insurrection, where the so called protesters were armed with heavy weaponry.

They were NOT unarmed as western propaganda portrayed them.

Here the insurrectionists were firing a heavy machine gun.
3️⃣The PLA showed maximum restraint, because we are the army of the people.

However, these are not the people, they are the enemies of the people.

Watch how the PLA units refused to open fire, despite our comrades were being stoned to death.

This in retrospect were an mistake:

This is how China's PLA is changing to meet the challenge in the age of drone warfare.🧵1/6

This is the new 35mm revolver cannon SHORAD system (Short Range Air Defense), with the new HQ-13 short range missile.

They will be mass deployed with our medium and light combined arms brigades.Image
Previously, as in around the early years of the Ukraine war. Our go to SHORAD system force design down to the company level, revolved around the Type-625 system. (pictured below)

But as we observed the Ukraine war, we've realized this is not enough. Image
We need credible mechanized air defense systems down to the platoon level.

Only then, can our armored, mechanized and motorized formations punch through an open field without being bogged down, and hunted by loiter munitions and drones.
