The US has designated Chinese Confucius Institutes as “foreign missions” following its recent moves to scrutinize Chinese media outlets

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.
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.
“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.
24 EU member states turn to the US government with a protest note. They criticize the US interference in the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in the Baltic Sea.
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.
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.
Joe Biden’s naming of Kamala Harris 贺锦丽 as running mate is a move to use her background to topple Donald Trump, but based on her previous tough stance, the nominee won’t help end the two parties’ playing of the China card.
When Biden will pass after winning the Nov election, Harris will step in to become POTUS.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said Americans would have to “learn to speak Chinese” if he loses the 2020 election to former Vice President Joe Biden.
Trump was implying that Biden would be soft on China, though in reality the former vice president’s campaign has taken a fairly hawkish stance toward Beijing.
“All they’re waiting for, and China too, is that I’m defeated. Because if I’m defeated, China will own the United States,” Trump told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.
“If I don’t win the election, China will own the United States—you will have to learn to speak Chinese!” Trump added.

Chinese PPE supplier Kingfa Sci & Tech金发科技股份有限公司 said Sun that it has ended a contract for $975 million of KN95 masks with a US company, as the US buyer neither made any payment nor expressed willingness to continue the contract since it received the order in May. The stock of Kingfa dived nearly 8% at the opening of trading on Mon, as the company has not received 40% of the payment from its US customer on a KN95 mask deal worth $975 million. The order has since been terminated. Suckered by the US scoundrels again.
United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urged the Russian government on Monday to reconsider its restrictions on US-funded Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
“Russian authorities continue to stifle independent information and free speech. Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty are a vital source of information for Russians. We urge the Russian government to reconsider these new restrictions on free media,” Pompeo tweeted.
Back in 2017, Russia designated Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Voice of America as “foreign agents.” after,
U.S. intelligence agencies said in a report in January that the television station
RT America , which broadcasts on cable in the United States, is “Russia’s state-run propaganda machine” and that it contributed to the Kremlin’s campaign to interfere with last year’s presidential election in favor of Republican Party candidate Donald Trump.
After that report, the Department of Justice insisted that RT America comply with registration requirements under the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA). Under the act, RT will be required to disclose financial information.
No Shame, MP.
