China is reviving the pre-World War II historical label of "new militarism" as part of a broader propaganda campaign to shift attention from its own actions and undermine Japan's security ties. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/07/17/japan/beijing-history-war/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #china #chinajapanrelations #wwii #defense #southeastasia #asean #indopacific

Cable Retriever (GB) confirmed on dynamic positioning hold off Tamsui, Taiwan, 8h+ on station as of 5:34 UTC today.

Coordinating with Ile d'Aix (FR), reported on station since May 9, per open sources.

Both repairing the Taiwan-Matsu No.3 cable, damaged in April by a Chinese salvage barge.

This is what the infrastructure war looks like.
