Taking Taiwan made easy.

How a new ship type will open up the entire Taiwanese coast for PLA landing en masse.

The most comprehensive step by step thread on the fate of Taiwan when war starts.
🧵 These specialist ships are barges that sail on its own.

When it reaches the landing zone, it will be turned into a temporary port/pier, that will allow Ro/Ro ships to disembark armored formations en masse.

These barges are just the connector, they don't carry troops themselves

China's trade surplus reached a historic $1 trillion.
🧵On how China broke the conventional neoliberal view on trade.

An interesting contribution to the surplus is the plateauing of Chinese imports.

Linked to the industrial upgrade of China, there are just not many things we need to buy from other countries, other than things we can't make, such as raw material. Many take China's existence as the world's factory for granted, but before the rise of China in the 1990s the world economy were a lot different.

Less global, local manufacturing were the norm, Japan and South Korea were the first post-war outsource destination, but...

The Indian air force still haven't received the Tejas fighters they ordered in 2009.

Tejas is a low-end 4th gen fighter, the world has moved onto 6th gen fighters.

India's war strategy revolves around the 2.5 front war theory.

A thread on the strategic predicament of India.🧵 India's 2.5 front war means when war comes for India, they will have to fight China and Pakistan simultaneously, while also having to deal with the half (0.5) front of homegrown insurgents.

Recently, the addition of Bangladesh means India will have to deal with a 3.5 front war.

China's Kede created their oblique angle 5 axis continuous CNC machine tool.

They are used in high precision manufacturing, such as turbofan engine components.

Thread on productivity and China's economic transition.🧵 When some in the West talk about China's manufacturing advantage, they're still stuck in the decade old stereotype of cheap labor.

In reality, China's manufacturing prowess comes from the millions of STEM graduates our university produces each year.

Photos from the Zhuhai airshow that's worthy to be the background image for your phone.

China has one of the best geopolitical location in the world.

Thread on geopolitical location and the national strategies required to full exploit and utilize it.
1/8🧵 China's land borders are secured with friendly neighbors, or are blocked by the Himalaya.

This means, our only threat vector are from the East and South, over the sea.

Missiles and future long range drone swarms, would be hard to detect over land, due to noise and obstructions.

Ukraine war has no relevance for Taiwan.

Let's say we destroy all the port facilities in Taiwan, and continue to bomb it.
How do you transport anything heavy equipment into Taiwan?

Are you saying the island can fight a war without replenishing its weapon and munitions?

These pro-Taiwan shills are hilariously delusional.

They think our intentions for Taiwan has anything to do with chip manufacturing, disregarding the fact that the Taiwan issue has been there since 1949.

If war were to break out between China and the US.

We (China) cannot have half measures, we must elevate this war to the level short of nuclear Armageddon.

How our economy demands us to have total war.
We have no other choice.
1/5🧵 A limited war can only benefit the US, where their fictious capital and the strength of US dollar. can have leverage IF trade persists.

HOWEVER.

In a total war scenario, those leverages goes away along with trade, fiat money will be worthless paper if your shelves are empty.

More than 80% of stealth is determined by the shape of the aircraft.

This is going to be a huge dilemma for NATOids, they can't question J-35's stealth without also undermining the perceived stealth of F-35.

My opinion on the F-35.
1/6🧵 There are many issues with F-35, most of which is caused by the compromises made to accommodate the STOVL F-35B variant.

In a way, the J-35 is an optimized F-35 with no STOVL compromises.

It's sleek, focused in mission for air superiority.

China’s victory against wokeism.

JD, a huge online retailer hired feminist comedian Yang Li for promotions.

Her comedy promotes gender animosity and materialism, fear of motherhood and reject marriage.

Netizens immediately boycotted JD forcing them to cut all ties with her
1/4 Real feminist cause in China’s case, is the advocacy for strict implementation of domestic abuse laws.

Female employees should get proper maternity leaves without negatively impacting them.

Problems pertaining to rule of law in China are caused by Confucianism.

Some laws in China are feebly enforced, not because there's a lack of resources or corruption.
But because of Confucianist humanity.

Why Confucianism is garbage for statecraft.
Why Legalism is the way.
1/6 Confucianism has some use for inter personal relationships, it tries, in my opinion naively and pretentiously to be good.

But in a modern society, such "humanity" are often benefits the criminals.

The Type-093B nuclear attack submarine.

It has 16 VLS missile launchers with pump-jet propulsion.

For comparison, it has surpassed the Los Angeles Class and have reached similar levels of capabilities to the Virginia class submarine.

Why is it significant?
1/5🧵 There are 3 main ways for China to deter US intervention in a Taiwan scenario.

1️⃣ Missile based area denial system.
2️⃣Use our carrier battle groups to box out the US navy.
3️⃣Have enough nuclear submarines in the Western Pacific to force the US second guess themselves.

EU tariff on Chinese EVs is not about subsidies, since every country subsidizes the green industry.

They made it very clear, the tariff is a way to force Chinese carmakers to invest in the EU and produce cars locally.

This is expected.
1/5 Making cars in their respective market is pretty common in the automotive industries.

Chinese carmakers certainly don't shy away from setting up factories overseas, such as BYD in Thailand, with factories in Hungary, Turkey and Brazil coming soon.

The captain of Japanese destroyer Suzutsuki was sacked for entering Chinese waters, despite repeated warnings from Chinese coast guard.

The report from the investigation by Japan has been filed as confidential and not released.

Here's what we know.
1/9🧵 The Japanese destroyer entered Chinese waters on the 4th of July 2024, for 20 minutes before leaving.

They were there to monitor PLA navy activities.
Of course we were also closely monitoring them.

China's Liaoning carrier battle group is near Mindanao Philippines.

Our carrier battle groups with aid from anti-ship ballistic missiles, will turn Western Pacific into our bastion.

Severing sea lines of communication to the island of Taiwan & Philippines.
Its importance:
1/6🧵 The US can brag about stationing this and that in the Philippines, but in a high intensity shooting war, those stocks on foreign land will quickly be depleted.

The Philippines itself cannot sustain any major war effort, nor can Okinawa or the island of Taiwan.

Realistically, how can the Arab world and Iran unite to stop Israel.

The key is to cooperate with China and the wider Global South. It won't be easy nor a short term endeavor.

A realistic and candid thread, no hyperbole.
1/12🧵 With the normalized genocide in Gaza, and the political assassinations causing hundreds of civilian deaths in Lebanon, Israel is clearly a menace out of control.

The compromised West won't do anything, in fact they are condoning and actively supporting this behavior.

Myanmar Situation.

The Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) expands their controlled territory in Northern Myanmar, to include the major town of Lashio.

Why are they so successful?
1/5 The answer is simple, they have the support of the people. A sizable majority of the local population are ethnic Han [Chinese].

Whose ancestors settled in that area in different eras, from Ming to Qing to Republican.

When asked about MNDAA, ethnic Han full heartly support them.

Thread on China's new amphibious warfare doctrine.

Why is it revolutionary and how will help us to take Taiwan.
1/15🧵 Fundamentally, amphibious warfare takes on the form of:

Port to ship, ship to shore.

A unit is transported from friendly port to an enemy port/beach to offload, it's a form of point-to-point system.

Such old system is inflexible and predictable.

Golden Apollo, the Taiwanese company that made the exploding pagers bought by Hezbollah, is an equipment supplier for the FBI.

Confirmed by this translated article from 2011.

Link to the original article in the reply.
Reasons why they are complicit.
1/4 The Taiwanese company Golden Apollo lied by claiming they didn't make the pagers.

Blaming it on a company called BAC in Hungary.

In reality, that's just a 1 person shell company, Incapable of altering 5000 pagers.

Today is the National Defense Education Day of China.

Here are the posters, which one do you prefer?

Full resolution posters in the reply, with brief commentary on the ideas behind each poster. Attend to our national defense.

Our armed forces belongs to the people, our national defense is for all. (sub-slogan for every poster).

Using the image of the child to bring out our innate care for younglings.

Jewish apartheid ethnostate for Israel.

Jewish supremacy comes from their outsized influence in the US, it's a phenomena that grew along with the US hegemonic power in the 19th and 20th century.

Before that, their sense of "superiority" is more of an cultural self-isolation and self-protection.
