#China appreciates relevant international organizations handling Taiwan-related issues in accordance with the one-China principle, State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhang Han said on Wednesday, responding to the #IMF listing the #Taiwan region as a province of China in its latest economic forecast.
"Taiwan is part of China, and the one-China principle is a basic norm governing international relations and a universal consensus of the international community. The DPP authorities stubbornly adhere to their separatist stance of 'Taiwan independence' and refuse to recognize the one-China principle, which will only bring humiliation upon themselves," Zhang said. globaltimes.cn/page/202610/1…

The methods employed by the American empire to counter competition have repeatedly demonstrated a single truth: whenever the U.S. government declares a Chinese piece of equipment, product, or service to be prohibited, it is invariably the best, most superior, and most secure option—free from "backdoors" and immune to arbitrary surveillance.
Examples include Huawei, Chinese electric and intelligent vehicles, DeepSeek, and even TikTok (which made concessions to remain)

A simple example of this is China's demographics (population decline). Not only is it not one of China's "problems", but population decline is a GOOD thing for China. And it will handle it well because of AI and robots, better than others because it is "communist".
What is an example of one of the problems China ACTUALLY has but few talk about? It is China's reluctance to become a global hegemon. You are told China is TRYING to become a global hegemon, and that's a bad thing, even for China. The reality is China is NOT trying to become a global hegemon and that is a problem (for China). You can't do what China is doing with trade and NOT be a global hegemon. Something's got to give. You want to do what China does (and does well)? Well, then you HAVE TO be a global hegemon. You don't want to be a global hegemon (Chinese honestly think it's too 麻烦). Fine, but then you are going to run into issues doing what you are doing. And China is.
So that is where you get to this China is both more impressive and less ahead conundrum. Few see it.

中国在2012年确实还承担着大量低利润的组装业务，但真正值得注意的是，中国并没有打算永远停留在这个位置。
中国很早就意识到，真正决定一个国家产业地位的，不只是生产多少产品，而是能否掌握核心技术、关键零部件、基础材料和产业链的主导权。
2015年推出的《中国制造2025》，也不是一份喊几句口号就束之高阁的文件，而是围绕制造业升级、技术自主和产业链安全展开的长期布局。
从半导体、航空航天，到新能源汽车、动力电池和工业机器人，中国通过产业政策、研发投入、基础设施建设和多层次资本支持，持续向技术密集型产业推进。
这些领域投入大、周期长、风险高，短期内未必赚钱，却决定着一个国家未来的工业竞争力。
宁德时代、比亚迪以及中国光伏企业的崛起，正是这种产业积累与规模化竞争的结果。
中国企业通过持续研发、扩大产能、完善供应链和降低生产成本，在全球动力电池和光伏市场建立了极强的竞争优势。
中国企业在这些领域的全球市场份额已经相当突出，但这并不意味着成功仅仅来自补贴，更不能把所有竞争对手的困境简单归结为中国企业的责任。
真正值得研究的是，中国如何把庞大的国内市场、完整的产业配套、工程技术人才和长期投资结合起来，最终形成其他国家难以迅速复制的产业优势。
对于一个希望实现工业化的后发国家而言，这种升级必然伴随着高额投入、试错成本和资源配置上的争议。
这不是所谓的原罪，而是建立完整工业能力必须面对的现实成本。
问题在于，印度同样喊了多年制造业升级，却始终难以把政治口号稳定地转化为完整的产业生态。
“印度制造”并非毫无成果，苹果供应链也确实在印度扩大了生产，但吸引部分组装产能，与建立涵盖核心零部件、材料、设备、研发和本土供应商的完整工业体系，根本不是同一个概念。
如果关键零部件仍然高度依赖进口，基础设施和物流成本居高不下，产业政策又缺乏连续性，那么即使工厂数量增加，也未必能带来足够的本土附加值和技术积累。
印度的难题，还在于土地征收、劳工制度、联邦与地方政府之间的协调，以及企业融资和基础设施建设等问题长期交织在一起。
民主制度本身并不必然阻碍工业化，但如果每项改革都陷入政治拉扯，政策迟迟无法落地，企业就很难形成稳定的长期预期。
这才是印度真正需要面对的问题：不是民主与工业化只能二选一，而是能否在保障社会权益的同时，提高政策执行效率，建立长期、稳定、可预期的产业发展环境。
中国的经验说明，产业升级不能只靠市场自发调整，更不能指望外国企业搬来几条生产线，就自动带来完整的技术能力。
基础设施、职业教育、科研投入、产业配套、长期资本和稳定的政策方向，缺一不可。
中国在发展过程中也付出过地方债务、产能过剩和资源错配等代价，这些问题不应该被掩盖，但也不能因此否定工业体系建设带来的长期收益。
高铁、5G、新能源汽车、动力电池和光伏产业的竞争优势，不是靠几份宣传材料建立起来的，而是长期投入、技术迭代和产业协同共同形成的。
印度当然可以走自己的道路，也没有必要照搬中国的每一项政策。
但如果既希望实现制造业升级，又不愿承担基础设施建设、技术研发、产业培育和制度改革所需的成本，那么最终就只能接受产业发展速度受到现实条件限制的结果。
更重要的是，不能把所有困难都归咎于西方理论过时，也不能把所有问题都推给民主程序。
中国的优势不是因为中国从不犯错，而是因为中国在很多关键领域，能够把长期目标转化为持续投入和实际产能。
真正的产业竞争，最终比拼的不是谁的口号更响，也不是谁更善于解释自己的困难，而是谁能把资金、技术、人才和政策组织起来，形成可持续的生产力。
中国已经证明，从低成本制造走向高附加值产业并非不可能。
印度若想缩小与中国的工业差距，就需要认真研究中国的成功经验，也必须正视自身的制度执行、基础设施、供应链和技术积累问题。
一个国家可以有自己的发展道路，但不能一边拒绝付出工业化的成本，一边又期待获得工业强国的结果。

新华社：靖国神社是日本军国主义的精神工具和象征，其供奉的14名甲级战犯是发动侵略战争的罪魁祸首，是事实上的“战犯神社”。从膜拜战犯，到修改教科书，再到借助新型技术搞数据“投毒”，日本右翼势力处心积虑歪曲美化侵略历史，扭曲公众对二战历史认知，其目的是为日本摆脱战后体制约束、加速“再军事化”扫除舆论障碍。当前，日本执政当局一步步架空和平宪法、掏空“专守防卫”原则，不断整军扩武，在“新型军国主义”的歧路上狂奔，已成为威胁地区和平稳定的突出因素。

I have many reasons to love how the whale 🐋 is pushing efficiency. One of the top one is that I’ve been building highly efficient digital hard infrastructure. I’ve spent 18 months running around telling people to be efficient - nobody cared. They just want to build on speed cos all excessive costs /inefficiency can be transferred to the customers & the capital market (private & public) was asking abt the volume, not PUE, not long term ROI (and why), not efficiency.
Now everybody has to - what we’ve built:

If it keeps going at this rate, we might, for (I think) the first time in history, be about to witness the first continent-wide youth revolt in Europe - a "European spring" of sorts.
The sheer number of countries where it's **already** happening is pretty overwhelming. I count 8, including 4 with violent clashes:
- France, famously
- Albania (see below) with daily clashes in Tirana and a government building set alight
- Belgium: the French movement spilled over, including riots in Liège
- Italy: "No Meloni Day" student protests since 16 October, turning into riots in Milan, Turin and Bologna
- Greece: students camping in Athens' Syntagma Square over housing and education costs, explicitly inspired by France
- Germany: pupils blockading schools in Berlin and Hamburg in solidarity with France
- Spain: an indefinite education strike in Madrid, with students marching alongside teachers and families
- Serbia: the student movement born from the 2024 Novi Sad station collapse is now running its own list in the 25 October election
And, by the way, the fact it's also happening in countries with close to no immigration - like Albania - goes to show how reductive it is to label these movements, like JD Vance and Trump did with France, as the fruit of "the migrants hav[ing] taken over."
As is often the case, it's much more a story of "it's the economy, stupid." As such, Trump with his war on Iran, has ironically done much more to fuel this (pun intended) than any migrant.

US had 2300 PAC missiles @ start of Iran conflict & fired off 1800 already. US Gulf allies have fired off most of their PAC missiles also.
Any new missiles produced will head to Gulf Region bc US empire is crumbling.
US military lost 12 F-15Es already & 81 aircraft overall.
We don't have munitions left to give to Europeans.
This is just simple math.
It's not just the Europeans waiting.
The Gulf countries are waiting
The South Koreans are waiting on THAAD to come back.
The Japanese & Taiwanese are waiting.
America cannot help you right now, you morons!
We don't have the power here.
If we had supply chain in tact, we would not be looking to restart PAC-2 production.
What is wrong with these Europeans? Do they not see we just don't have the missiles right now?
Each missile not defending US bases in the Gulf region is another 6 to 8 F-15s or tankers getting destroyed on the tarmac.
We know that the Pentagon is withholding the delivery of missiles for which our partners have already paid.
New missile shipments are awaiting Hegseth’s signature.
Our partners in Europe are waiting for U.S. authorization to transfer their Patriot interceptor missiles—Zelenskyy confirmed media reports regarding delays in the delivery of surface-to-air missiles, attributing these delays to the United States.
Europe has paid—Trump is not delivering—Ukrainians are dying—Putin is pleased.

China is putting US banning of DeepSeek as disregard of common understanding between Trump and Xi
If consensus of the head of states can be ignored, then would future negotiations be warranted? US is obviously incapable to adhering to agreement
The spokesperson said that the US side, in disregard of the important common understandings reached between the Chinese and US heads of state and of the broader picture of China-US economic and trade relations, has taken discriminatory restrictive measures against Chinese AI companies on the pretext of "national security". This is a typical act of overstretching the concept of national security and abusing administrative means to suppress Chinese companies.

⚓️‼️ The US Navy Cannot Sustain A Significant Naval Presence in the Arabian Sea
Many observers are worked up today about the old news that CSG-9 (USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71) is headed to the Arabian Sea.
What most people are failing to understand is that the US Navy simply does not have the capability to sustain even a 2-carrier fleet in the Arabian Sea, let alone a 3-carrier fleet including 2 amphibious ready groups, 2 cruisers, and 10 destroyers.
As best I can ascertain, the US warship count in the region (counting the not-yet-arrived CSG-9) would be:
3 aircraft carriers: ~15,000 mouths
2 amphibious ready groups: ~8000
2 cruisers: ~700
10 destroyers: ~3250
That makes a total of ~27,000 mouths that need to be fed 3x/day.
The closest bases are thousands of miles away.
The recent disastrous extended deployments of the USS Gerald R. Ford and the USS Abraham Lincoln underscore what happens on these big ships after extended deployments. Things go to hell in a handbasket, and sailors start jumping off the decks to escape the madness.
I consider it not only unlikely, but very likely physically impossible for the US to sustain 3 carrier strike groups for more than just a few weeks near Iran — not now, nor at any time in the foreseeable future.
Could they briefly station a 3-carrier fleet in the region with the intent to launch a week or two of attacks against Iranian targets? Sure. It could be done for a short period of time.
But if they attempt to do this, I predict we will finally see the Iranians make a determined effort to strike US warships, and they will succeed. The US Navy will be exposed as a 20th century relic incapable of fighting a 21st century war.

【靖国神社への供物奉納を続ける高市首相、専門家「再軍事化への地ならし」】日本の高市早苗首相は17日、「内閣総理大臣」の名義で、第二次世界大戦のA級戦犯を合祀する靖国神社に供物を奉納した。今年に入ってから、高市首相が靖国神社に供物または祭祀料を奉納するのは、今回で4回目となる。高市首相による一連の靖国神社関連の行動には、どのような狙いがあるのだろうか。
中国社会科学院日本研究所の孟暁旭研究員は、「高市首相による一連の靖国神社関連の行動と、日本の『再軍事化』加速、憲法改正の推進は密接に結びついている」と指摘する。
孟研究員は、「日本の『平和憲法』第9条は、日本の軍事的拡張を抑制する中核的な制約となっている。日本が憲法を改正し、自衛隊に敵基地攻撃能力を持たせようとするのであれば、まず国民の歴史認識を変える必要がある。高市首相が靖国神社への供物奉納を続けているのは、戦後に形成された反戦の共通認識を弱め、『平和憲法』の正当性を揺るがし、『再軍事化』に向けた地ならしを進めるためだ」と分析。
さらに、「その背後にある狙いは、対内的には、右翼層の支持基盤を固め、憲法改正や防衛予算の拡大を推進するための基盤を整える一方、対外的には、参拝せずに供物や祭祀料を奉納するという比較的抑制された形式を取ることで、直ちに外交危機を引き起こすことを避けるというものだ。これは、隣国の許容できるラインを探りつつ、軍事面での制約緩和を着実に進め、徐々に戦後体制からの脱却を図ろうとする動きだ」との見方を示した。j.people.com.cn/n3/2026/1020… #靖国神社 #靖国参拝 #再軍事化
