Znikający generałowie

To kolejna czystka w wojsku i wszystko wskazuje, że na tym się nie skończy, a niechęć korpusu oficerskiego skupi się na nowym ministrze, który może odegrać w przyszłości rolę piorunochronu. Nic dziwnego, że nikt się nie pali do tej roboty. Trudności ze znalezieniem następcy dla Liu Shengfu mogą także wskazywać na problemy samego Xi Jinping.

Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu has been removed from his positions as defense chief and state councilor, state-run media said, in a move sanctioned by President Xi Jinping nearly two months after Li disappeared. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/10/24/asia-pacific/politics/china-defense-minister-li-shangfu-fired/?utm_content=buffer623ca&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #asiapacific #politics #lishangfu #pla #xijinping #china #qingang

Xi Jinping and China could be in trouble — at least that’s what the headlines could lead one to conclude. But the real story is far more complicated. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/10/13/asia-pacific/politics/xi-jinping-top-officials-analysis/?utm_content=buffer3f0ab&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #asiapacific #politics #china #xijinping #ccp #lishangfu #qingang

Kissinger w Pekinie, znowu

Pojawiły się dosyć naiwne głosy, że Kissinger przyjechał do Pekinu z misją w imieniu administracji, ale to czyste wymysły. Przebieg wizyty wskazuje, że to Pekin sprowadził go dla własnych potrzeb.

Just hours after the U.S. military criticized an "unsafe" encounter with a Chinese navy ship in the Taiwan Strait, China's defense chief struck back, blaming such moves on "hegemonic actions" by the U.S. and its allies. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/06/04/asia-pacific/china-defense-minister-li-shangfu-shangri-la-speech/?utm_content=buffer92632&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #news #asiapacific #china #us #usmilitary #pla #lishangfu

Chiński foch i amerykańsko-japońska współpraca zbrojeniowa

Wzrost kompatybilności i komplementarności przemysłów zbrojeniowych Zachodu i ich sojuszników to moim zdaniem obecnie najważniejsze zadanie. Pozwoli to nie tylko zwiększyć moce produkcyjne, ale tez kontynuować produkcję uzbrojenia na potrzeby sojuszników w potrzebie.
