The announcement of the Amazon project was made by the president of Huawei in Brazil, Sun Baocheng, at the online event “Amazonia Conectada” (Amazon connected), promoted by the municipal institute of innovation (IMI), a Brazilian think-thank that supports municipalities in PPP projects.
Reportedly, the U.S. President’s special envoy for arms control affairs Marshall Billingsley said in an interview on the 14th, the United States is developing medium-range missiles is the absolute necessity of Japan and other countries in the future defense force, and Japan is also a candidate to deploy this missile. Billingsley also asserted that China is an “imminent threat,” and revealed attempts to expand military cooperation with relevant Asian countries.
Billingsley stated that he would consult with the relevant Asian countries on the threat posed by China’s nuclear capabilities, as well as on matters related to the defense of allied capabilities. And Billingsley was the first to mention the possible deployment of medium-range missiles in Japan.
“Pirates Of The Caribbean” – The United States has seized four Iranian tankers on the high seas, U.S. officials said on Thursday (14). The tankers were allegedly carrying Iranian oil in violation of U.S. sanctions. The four tankers are currently en route to a major oil port in Houston, Texas.
The U.S. seizure of the Iranian tankers was reportedly motivated by the arrival of five Iranian tankers earlier this year carrying 1.5 million barrels of gasoline to Venezuela, which is also under restrictive U.S. economic sanctions.
On Aug. 10, Pakistan seized an Iranian tanker at the port of Karachi at the request of the U.S. government, but since the name of the tanker was never reported, it is unclear whether it is one of the four now en route to Houston.
The Trump administration began imposing strangling economic sanctions on Iran in August 2018, with the goal of reducing the country’s oil exports to zero, while also attempting to cripple other Iranian industries.
Hello, everyone. What I mentioned yesterday in today’s headlines is another clarification. The cross-strait reunification I talked about can have a result within two years. Of course, many people still think it is absolutely impossible. I think I have to elaborate on this in depth. Reunification in two years is not a timetable but a plan. To make it clearer, the reunification of the country and its division is a battle of wills. If we look at the situation in Taiwan today, we can see what Taiwan’s willpower is for independence. That facing Taiwan’s willpower for independence is an atmosphere in which it is slowly becoming more and more impossible to achieve independence. Then the possibility of unification is high. You may wonder why Taiwan’s independence is becoming less and less likely. Didn’t Lee Teng-hui leave recently? When Lee Teng-hui was alive he had two main points. One was that he repeatedly emphasized the collapse of China. Secondly, he repeatedly promoted Taiwan’s independence. Did China collapse during his lifetime? Not only did it not collapse. The country is getting stronger. And now the Trump can’t even take it anymore, can’t stand it. So the first one that Lee Teng-hui lived to emphasize his desire for China to collapse did not happen. The second one. Before his death, he constantly promoted Taiwan’s independence. Now he’s gone. The disciples are remembering him and making this his funeral a big, big one. That’s an inferiority complex after arrogance. Because these people want to push for Taiwan’s independence, they expect China to collapse and find out that they can’t. So each of them is in a very bad way. So it’s a curtain call for all of them. The ones who took the lead are gone again, so let’s do it properly, that’s just self-consolation, self-relief. This is not the truth? I’m in Taiwan, and people say I’m in the minority. I’ll tell you this. I’m definitely not in the minority. Because in my heart. I am full of hope, because my opponent expects collapse, the mainland is getting stronger and stronger. My opponents hope for independence, and as a result independence is becoming less and less likely. It’s a non-mainstream minority for me. With the disciples of Lee Teng Hui they now stand for regret. Because their leading man is gone.
Well, what about the unificationist minority like me. I am full of hope because mainland China is rising. It is constantly rising. And. Increasingly performing outstandingly. Some netizens on the internet disagree with me. Then I know that you netizens fully expect to pursue the western set of democracy and freedom. Perhaps you’re one who were originally taught anti-communist education. But to those of us who are talking based on facts. So you say on the Internet that I am so and so, I will not agrue with you, each person has his own choice of thinking. But I can say very clearly what we are expecting today. All that is expected is that 1.4 billion people, 1.4 billion Chinese can live. And to live well. There are restrictions. Each country has its own system. The way is not the democratic politics of the West, the political system of mainland China doesn’t allow you to distort democracy. It doesn’t allow you to abuse freedom. Let’s look in Taiwan. Is the democracy a democracy? Some democracies are saying, “Well, that’s what everybody elected and then elected for four years of domination. These four years, he’s been running amok. That’s democracy, that’s populism. As many as 80,90% of our compatriots on the mainland now support the Chinese Communist Party. Why? Because after 20 years of reform and opening up the practice and the experience is the truth. Hey. What it has brought is to tell the people that what they did not do well in the past is now improved. In the past, there were many disparities between the rich and the poor, and we are trying our best to alleviate the poverty. So we see the facts of the continent in modern times. Let us see. What Taiwan is showing is full of regret, full of disappointment. The so-called democracy and freedom in Taiwan, led by Lee Teng-hui, has brought about populism. It’s an abuse of freedom. Then we see the mainland today. That is why we are full of hope. We should be under the rule of a leader with such a heart in the mainland, We are all able to focus our consciousness force. What does that mean? It means the willpower to pursue national unity and national rejuvenation. I say two years is a plan. Today, let’s assume, as some netizens do, that what you say is impossible, that there is no hope. If even the netizens in mainland China are so negative, then of course unification is impossible, I ask. If there is a non-mainstream minority like me in Taiwan, we are still full of confidence, we still have strong willpower in the harsh environment, in the environment of Taiwan Secession . Suppose there are 1.4 billion people in mainland China, and you have 1 billion people with willpower, what are the other 400 million people? Put such a willpower that we are within two years, because now the Cold War is going to turn into a hot war. Assuming that the Cold War will turn into a hot war, and the Sino-American war, Taiwan will of course be unified and liberated first. It will be recovered. Isn’t that right? Is America being provocative? China won’t say take advantage of your provocations. I’ll take this pawn down first. You won’t have the leverage to negotiate with me. Wouldn’t he think like this, I would think like this. Some netizens will because they think I’m not making sense. Once Trump wants to provoke, to go to war before I take down this pawn of yours, you will have no leverage to talk with me. The pawn is Taiwan. So I’m going to tell this to the folks in Taiwan. We don’t want war. In a fight with the United States and China, we are the first to suffer. So I’m speaking to the folks in Taiwan, and I’m also speaking to my compatriots in China. Some of you are pessimistic and negative. I am very dissatisfied. You’re promoting Taiwan independence, you know? You have full confidence and willpower. If we don’t unify in 2 years, we can do it in 5 years. But when you have the willpower, you will be able to take the road of unification. You will be able to achieve the unified result. But you’re losing your will. I’m really going to curse you. I’m sure most of my mainland compatriots don’t think like you. You are dissatisfied with the leadership of the mainland, but can you not support the reunification of your country? You yourself are in China today or have any kind of opinion, but we think of the big picture, I can have such a strong will even in Taiwan. I won’t be offended if I see you talking sarcasm on the internet, but I must emphasize it again up front. But I must emphasize once again in the headline on the Internet. According to the current international situation, when the cold war becomes a hot war, the country is unified. So what Trump recently challenged, is that in the middle of a hot war? Is that likely within two years? Hmm. So I’m not talking about this in anger. It’s not here to please anyone. I’m basing it on Taiwan’s Lee Teng-hui’s past lifelong pursuit of goals, and I believe he left at the end full of regret. I’m telling you very clearly that there is no hope for Taiwan’s Secession. When there is no hope for Taiwan Secession , then there is hope for reunification. That is when there is hope for reunification. Within two years, we will be able to achieve this goal, even if our efforts may take three to five years, That’s a result. So let no one be discouraged. Don’t be a disgrace to others. Today, I am full of fighting spirit and earnest words. It is to tell our Taiwanese compatriots and mainlanders that we are all family, and that we, as Chinese sons and daughters, want to be the leaders of world peace in the 21st century. Because of what? Because Chinese culture is about peace. Not to go around causing world wars and then be the world’s policeman like the US. To be a hegemonic state. This is against the essence of Chinese culture. Therefore, if the essence of Chinese culture can continue to be implemented and China can become a world leader, then world peace, the pursuit of Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s great goal of world harmony, world harmony, can be achieved. The pursuit of world peace, the pursuit of Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s great goal of world commonwealth, and the world as a commonwealth can be achieved.

China’s new-generation space-borne Internet-of-Things (IoT) project codenamed Xingyun-2 has successfully completed the communication link between the first two satellites in the network, marking a historical first in the country’s IoT space network, the Global Times learned from the developer on Thursday.
Technological testing for the laser communication payloads onboard the two satellites of the Xingyun-2 星云2 project achieved success, the project developer team with the LEOBIT Technology Co 莱奥比特科技公司 of the Wuhan-based Sanjiang Group, a subsidiary under the state-owned China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC).
The two satellites coded Xingyun-2 01 and 02 are the first two satellites of the network and they were launched on May 12 by the country’s Kuaizhou-1A commercial carrier rocket, which was developed by the Wuhan-based Sanjiang Group. And in-orbit tests have been in process ever since.
“Having successfully built communication link between the two satellites, all core technological tests for the spacecraft have been fully conducted,” the developer told the Global Times in an exclusive interview on Thursday.
Inter-satellite laser communication technology is to use laser beam to convey information in the forms of such as image, audio and signals, in space, in a high-speed fashion and with a strong interference-resistance capability.
By adopting such inter-satellite communication technology, the satellite constellation can reduce dependence on ground stations, saving the cost of building such ground facility, and at the same time, enabling the space-based network to cover larger areas to achieve global measuring and controlling capability.

US selling weapons to Taiwan
Air Force Colonel Zhang Chunhui 张春晖, spokesman for the Eastern Theater of Operations , said the PLA has recently mobilized troops from multiple services in multiple directions and systems, organizing continuous combat exercises in the Taiwan Strait and at the north and south ends to further test and enhance the joint combat capabilities of multiple services.
Recently, a certain major country has continued to make negative moves on Taiwan-related issues, sending a serious wrong signal to the “Taiwan Secession” forces and seriously threatening peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. Taiwan is a sacred and inalienable part of China’s territory, and the patrols and training activities organized by the theatre forces are necessary to address the current security situation in the Taiwan Strait and the need to safeguard national sovereignty. The theater forces will remain on high alert at all times, take all necessary measures, resolutely respond to all provocative acts that create “Taiwan Secession ” and divide the country, and resolutely defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China.
This exercise no longer emphasized that “it does not target specific countries or regions”, but directly stated that a certain major country has sent a serious wrong signal to the “Taiwan Secession ” forces, and we will take necessary actions.
Military commentator Song Zhongping宋忠平 said that the Taiwan exercises highly targets, which will make the ” Taiwan Secession ” activists and extra-territorial forces understand that the PLA is not ambiguous on the Taiwan issue and has no room for bargaining. The root cause of the Taiwan issue is that the ” Taiwan Secession ” forces, with the connivance of the United States and other extraterritorial countries, may take desperate risks. Now that we have found the focus of the conflict, we should point it out clearly to discourage and deter the “Taiwan Secession ” forces from acting wilfully. Otherwise, the PLA will follow the anti-secession law to resolve the Taiwan Sea issue along with the issue of extraterritorial countries interfering in China’s internal affairs.
It is self-evident who the ” extraterritorial country ” refer to.
On the 12th, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration’s so-called “representative in the United States” Xiao Meiqin萧美琴 declared that Taiwan is in discussions with the United States on military purchases, including “coast guard cruise missile systems” (CDCM) and smart mines are among the discussions.
After the arrest of the ringleader of the HK rebellion, Jimmy Lai黎智英 , Tsai Ing-wen stated before the regular meeting of the DPP on 12th that the mainland had “directly infringed upon the foundations of freedom, human rights and the rule of law in Hong Kong through Hong Kong’s national security laws”, and declared that the DPP would keep its promise to “continue to provide the necessary humanitarian assistance to the people of Hong Kong”.
DPP authorities leaders also videotaped a speech at a U.S. think tank video conference, using “freedom and democracy” as an excuse, claiming that will strengthen relations between Taiwan and the United States.
U.S. recently flipped the Taiwan card: the U.S. Secretary of Health Alex Azar visit Taiwan, the U.S. intends to sell at least four advanced drones – “Sea Guardian” to Taiwan . This type of drone, can detect the PLA’s military movements real-time , including the deployment of troops in and out of key waterways, this is a threat to the PLA. In addition, the U.S. is also hoping that Taiwan will pay for its own intelligence-gathering.
Sea Guardian
“These drones, flying non-stop on a regular basis, pose a threat with the reconnaissance of PLA’s troop deployments. However, the PLA has the ability to capture or destroy them, the threat will cease to exist,” Song Zhongping.
What’s more important than deterrence?
As a matter of fact, the Chinese army had held several live exercises in the Taiwan Sea in 1996, 2015 and 2018. Each exercise coincided with the United States playing the “Taiwan card”. The difference is that over time, the PLA’s strength is not the same from that of the past.
The statement on the Taiwan Sea drill also clearly indicates the location and deployment of troops: a multi-discipline, multi-regional system of troops, the continuous organization of combat exercises in the Taiwan Strait and the north and south ends.
Song Zhongping stressed that this information is crucial. The so-called Multi-Mission system, is the key embodiment of joint warfare, and the PLA is one of the few armies in the world with a Multi-Mission combat capability.
The same is true when focusing on the Eastern Theater of operations that participated in the exercise. Song Zhongping said the Eastern Theater Joint Battle Command will assemble and mobilize the land, sea, air and rocket forces of multiple forces throughout the Eastern Theater jurisdiction together. “The Eastern Theater is doing such a series of exercises to enhance the preparation for military struggle against Taiwan, especially to target strong enemy intervention.”
At the same time, Song Zhongping believes that this military exercise has a strong significance, the exercise field includes the Taiwan Strait and the north and south ends, forming a “Territorial Military Exercise” against Taiwan specifically. In addition, he mentioned that in addition to deterrence, the more important role of the actual military exercises is to survey military projection in accordance with the actual battle plan, and rehearse in a real environment.
The European Union delegation sent a “note of protest” to the United States State Department during the videoconference, but the report does not mention the level of the protest or which three countries refused to join the protest. European diplomatic sources said, “We can confirm that the EU Delegation took diplomatic action against the US sanctions policy at a meeting with the US State Department on August 12, which was held in video format with the participation of 24 member states.”
In terms of content, the protest note reiterates the statement made by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Borrelli on 17 July about the sanctions imposed by the United States against European companies, including those involved in the Nord Stream-2 and Turkey Creek projects. The EU is deeply concerned by the increasing frequency of such sanctions. EU countries consider the extraterritorial sanctions to be a violation of international law. On 11 August, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas expressed his disagreement with the extraterritorial restrictions imposed by the United States on the Nord Stream-2 project, noting that decisions on European energy policy were made jointly by European countries and in Brussels. EU can decide independently where to buy energy.
Urmas Reinsalu
However, Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu said in a media interview that the US plan to impose sanctions on European companies involved in the Nord Stream-2 project is in Estonia’s interests. He noted that there is no consensus within the European countries on the construction of the gas pipeline, but Estonia agrees with the initiative taken by the United States. He added that he understood the logic of the United States. On August 5, several U.S. senators ( Ted Cruz of Texas, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin ) demanded that Faehrhafen Sassnitz , the German operator of Port Mukran on the island of Rügen, (the logistical hub for the completion of the pipeline) stops supporting the construction of the Nord Stream-2 pipeline, otherwise the United States will financially “destroy” the company. They threatened Port Mukran with “crushing” economic and legal sanctions if it continued to allow ships to be equipped for the pipeline project.
“The Nord Stream-2 project plans to build a gas pipeline with an annual capacity of 55 billion cubic meters from the Russian coast across the Baltic Sea to Germany, supplying gas directly to Europe. Most EU countries support the project and are involved in its implementation. The United States, the Baltic States, Ukraine and Poland oppose it. Ukraine and Poland insist that the Baltic Sea pipeline will mean they lose out on billions in transit fees from the pipelines that run through their countries.
