The recent provocations by the Chinese Communist Party have triggered a sudden rise in the situation in the Western Pacific, especially the war around the Taiwan Strait, which is like the Balkans before World War I and is littered with powder kegs.
But with the strong deterrence of the United States and its allies, will the Chinese Communist Party dare to provoke a war? By 2025, the number of F-35s around China could be nearly a thousand, completely crushing the Chinese Communist Party’s five-generation fighters! The latest news is that the U.S. Marine Corps has joined forces with the Marines to deal with the CCP’s expansion in the East and South China Seas.
Unprecedented! The price of raw materials keeps rising, and the price of electrical appliances in China has risen by up to 30%. With such severe inflation, people on the verge of getting out of poverty will immediately return to poverty again! And Chinese Communist Party officials themselves admit that the risk of returning to poverty is high. But the Chinese Communist Party’s white paper on “poverty eradication” was still released on schedule and was ridiculed.
The Chinese army is rumored to have arrived in Muse, Burma, and the streets are full of military vehicles. China’s conscience entrepreneur Sun Dawu was arrested strapped to the entire company executives, two sister-in-law statement no longer silent.
Scholars: Taiwan Strait periphery like the Balkans before World War I, full of gunpowder kegs
France and the Quadripartite Security Dialogue mechanism (QUAD) members of the United States, Japan, Australia and India began a three-day joint military exercise in the Bay of Bengal on Monday (April 5).
Taiwan’s defense ministry said Monday that 10 Chinese military aircraft had intruded into Taiwan’s air defense identification zone, with one of them flying over the strategically important Bus Strait. In addition, the Philippines recently spotted more than 200 Chinese vessels anchored near Whitsun Reef, which is within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone.
The Chinese navy announced on May 5 that aircraft carrier formations training around Taiwan will become a regular practice.
Ma Zhenkun, director of the Institute of Military Affairs of the National Defense University of Taiwan, pointed out on the 6th that the area around the Taiwan Strait is similar to the Balkans before the outbreak of a major war, although countries have no intention of igniting a war, but the war But the powder keg is all around the Taiwan Strait.
Ma Zhenkun believes that the vicious spiral of military interaction around the Taiwan Strait has not stopped so far, and is rising.
By 2025, there could be nearly 1,000 F-35s around China, completely crushing the Chinese Communist Party’s five-generation fighters
Last year, Japan has purchased 105 F-35A/B fighters for $23 billion in addition to the original 42 F-35 fighters purchase plan, and received approval from the United States for the sale, which will make Japan the second largest user of F-35 fighters after the United States, and will probably be one of the few countries equipped with more than one hundred fifth-generation stealth fighters in the future.
This includes some short-range vertical takeoff and landing F-35Bs to equip the modified Izumo and Kaga light aircraft carriers. If we add the 42 F-35As previously ordered, Japan will have at least 147 fifth-generation stealth fighters by then.
Not only that, but on March 28, 2018, the South Korean Air Force also received its first F-35A fighter jet. in March 2014, the South Korean Defense Agency had spent 7.4 trillion won to order 40 F-35A fighters from Lockheed. And on December 20, 2017, the South Korean government decided to purchase an additional 20 F-35 fighter jets. If the two amphibious assault ships are retrofitted with F-35Bs, the number of F-35s that South Korea will have in the future could reach 80, and will increase further.
Chinese military blogger “Lao Le watch military” said, in fact, in East Asia, South Korea and Japan are equipped with the F-35 is only a small fight, the real main force is the U.S. military in South Korea and Japan F-35 combat squadron, its performance is not only more advanced, but also more. If you count the F-35A in the U.S. Air Force bases in Korea and Japan, the F-35C on the U.S. Navy’s Seventh Fleet carriers and the Marine Corps F-35B on amphibious assault ships, by 2025, the number of F-35s around China may be nearly a thousand, and East Asia will become the most densely populated region in the world for five-generation aircraft.
On the other hand, according to the current possible production of J-20, it is the most optimistic projection to have 200 aircraft by 2025. Even if the FC31 is converted or becomes a carrier-based aircraft, at the current rate of progress, it will be good enough to be in service in 2025. By then the Chinese Communist Party will have to face a situation where the number of all third and fourth generation aircraft combined is not as much as the number of peripheral F-35s, and in addition they have a large number of F-15s, F-16s and F/A-18s that can be placed in second-line airports, so the situation can be very serious.
U.S. media: the Marine Corps and the Marine Corps to join forces to deal with the expansion of the Chinese Communist Party in the South China Sea
The U.S. military website Military.com reported on May 5 that the U.S. military is pulling out five Coast Guard law enforcement vessels from Pearl Harbor to support friendly nations in the Western Pacific, and is teaming up with the Seventh Fleet’s Marines to fight the increasingly active Chinese Communist maritime police vessels and militia forces in local waters.
The five Coast Guard law enforcement vessels include two state-of-the-art Legend-class patrol boats, which carry the same armament as the U.S. Navy and can deploy short-range defense systems and a variety of radar and electronic warfare systems, Voice of Hope Radio compiled for this story.

According to the report, the U.S. Coast Guard’s trip is aimed at combating illegal fishing in the Western Pacific and countering the growing influence of the Chinese Communist Party in the Western Pacific.
The U.S. Coast Guard said last September that distant-water fishing fleets conducting industrial-scale fishing often engage in illegal fishing activities, and that the Chinese Communist Party has the largest distant-water fishing fleet in the world; its fleet often conducts illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing activities. For example, the CCP’s maritime militia has more than 3,000 vessels that actively engage in aggressive behavior on the high seas and in the sovereign waters of other nations, and the United States has been urging the CCP to exercise more responsible control over its vessels.
The U.S. Department of Defense believes that a well-coordinated Marine Corps and Coast Guard would be particularly well suited to respond to the situation in the Western Pacific because the mission of the U.S. Coast Guard, known as the U.S. Fifth Column, is to be the security partner of choice for countries vulnerable to coercion.
The Coast Guard would enter into agreements with friendly nations of the United States that would allow the Coast Guard and the Marine Corps to join forces to secure that nation’s exclusive economic zone and conduct law enforcement activities, combining the law enforcement, fisheries protection, and maritime security functions of the U.S. Coast Guard with the fast-moving strength of the Marine Corps. For example, in the event of a skirmish between the CCP and its neighbors over an EEZ dispute, the fast-moving Marines could provide anti-ship missile cover for the Coast Guard while the CCP’s fishing vessels are present and the Coast Guard is enforcing the law.
The analysis suggests that the Coast Guard with Marines on board can quickly and flexibly choose to respond to the situation, deter the CCP, and force CCP vessels to lower tensions or withdraw, compared to the Marines who deal with the CCP fishing fleet alone.
The Chinese Communist Party announced its maritime police law in January this year, which allows maritime police vessels to fire on foreign vessels, followed by repeated sailing of Chinese maritime police vessels to the Diaoyu Islands, which are under sovereignty dispute with Japan, leading to increasing tensions in the East China Sea.

Chinese Communist Party’s White Paper on “Poverty Eradication” Gets Satirized, Officials Expose Risk of Returning to Poverty
After claiming in February that China had “eradicated poverty”, the Communist Party of China (CPC) recently released a white paper entitled “China’s Practice of Human Poverty Reduction,” which was even louder than before, prompting public ridicule. On the same day the white paper was released, a Chinese Communist Party official warned of the risk of returning to poverty.
On April 6, the State Council of the Communist Party of China released a white paper entitled “China’s Practice of Human Poverty Reduction,” touting “poverty eradication” as a “milestone event” in the realization of China’s “1,000-year dream and 100-year long-cherished dream. “It even called it “a great event in the history of human development” and “has made a significant contribution to the development of global poverty reduction and human development progress.”
And at the press conference of the white paper on the same day, Wang Zhengpu, director of the Communist Party’s National Rural Revitalization Bureau, who made his first public appearance, said of the problem of returning to poverty: “Some households that have been lifted out of poverty and marginal households are at risk of ‘returning to poverty,’ and the primary issue to be dealt with now is to prevent returning to poverty, and the central government has decided to set up a five-year transition period for counties that have been lifted out of poverty. “
In response, some people said, “surprisingly large to ‘human beings’ this pattern …… fabricate a glorious past, promising a wonderful future, and then want you to sacrifice the present!” A netizen sarcastically said, “I have been in a state of being taken out of poverty and return to poverty at any time.”
On the same day, April 6, Tang Renjian, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the Communist Party of China, said that the per capita disposable income (yearly) of rural residents in poverty-removing areas on the mainland would increase from RMB 6,079 in 2013 to RMB 12,588 by 2020.
On the same day, China’s “First Financial” published the results of a survey, saying that the per capita monthly income of 15 “new first-tier cities” was 3,975 yuan.
Once the above data was released, it triggered heated discussions among netizens. Some netizens said, “The annual income is just over 10,000 yuan, is this also considered to be out of poverty?” “The data of the ‘new first-tier cities’ is false, Zhengzhou’s salary is a third-tier city and consumption is a first-tier city.”
Previously, a netizen said, “In 2020 Li Keqiang said China’s 600 million people earn less than 1,000 yuan a month, and in 2021 Xi Jinping immediately announced that China is completely out of poverty!” “Only freedom of speech can bring the truth! It’s up to the people to say whether they are out of poverty or not, not an official announcement.”
A recent video of school children’s lunch in a mountainous area on the mainland has been making the rounds on the internet, with these little ones having only vegetable soup and rice for their school lunch. A netizen asked rhetorically, “Didn’t the Chinese Communist Party claim to have lifted itself out of poverty across the board?” “The welfare of the Communist Party of China is in the hands of the Party, and if you are given a little bit, you will say that you are out of poverty and well-off.”
Schoolchildren’s lunch in a mountainous area on the mainland is heartbreaking…

Unprecedented! Raw material prices keep rising, Chinese appliances prices increase by up to 30%
In April, the prices of central air conditioners, heat pumps, wall-hung furnaces and other products produced throughout China have increased by up to 30 percent. Mainland media reported that the “price hike” both the rate and scale of the increase, can be described as unprecedented.
Since April 1, China’s industries have seen a wave of price increases, whether it is metal copper, stainless steel, aluminum materials, or circuit boards, transportation costs, etc., are more than 30% of the increase. According to Chinese media reports, as a number of companies’ price adjustment letters are implemented since April 1, making April fall into the “price tide” well-deserved climax!
Dozens of air conditioning, heat pump companies, caused by the price of raw materials, 87% of the HVAC companies have increased prices. The rate of increase of 5% to 30%, starting April 1, the head of the air conditioning brand increases in the range of 4% to 11%. Air conditioning Hisense Hitachi, Anhui Gree issued a price increase notice letter on March 8, a 5% price increase; McVeigh product price increase of 5% to 11%; the United States air conditioning increase of 6% to 15%; April, wall-hung boilers with copper, aluminum, steel, plastic, paper boxes and other raw material prices and energy prices rose simultaneously, in addition to heat source products, air disks, pumps, motors, two ware, compressors, etc. have long been the whole line of price increases.
Tangshan Iron and Steel Group engineer Song Yang said in an interview with this station on Tuesday (April 6) that there are three main reasons for this wave of industrial product price increases, namely, companies do not meet environmental requirements and are restricted in production, chip shortages and increased currency issuance. Among them, he said, is the shortage of chips: “The shortage of chips does not seem to be a Chinese one, companies all over the world are short of supply, the United States previously snowed heavily and delayed production, and Samsung in South Korea had a big accident, so there is a shortage all over the world.”
Song Yang said steel has risen across the board, citing the price of rebar, the most representative rebar for construction, as an example, from RMB 1,680 per ton in the third quarter of 2015 to RMB 5,000 now.
Left: More than 80% of companies have increased the price of their products. Right: Companies’ price increase notices come one after another.
Commander, a finance scholar at Shandong University, believes that it is not uncommon to see a full line of increases from materials to products: “The magnitude of the impact of this round of raw material price increases on HVAC product price increases can be very surprising. HVAC industry demand is the largest when there was an upward adjustment to prices. 2021, China similar situation, product prices are difficult to retrace in the short term.”
A heat pump company in Guangdong reportedly raised prices by 30 percent last December. In January this year, the impact of sanctions imposed by the United States on China’s high-tech. Mainland China chip supply continues to be tight, more and more semiconductor companies to join the ranks of price increases. Among them, the chip price increase of 30%.
Sun Dawu was arrested for the whole family, two sister-in-law statement no longer silent
Hebei Dawu agricultural group head Sun Dawu and group executives and more than 20 people, was arrested by the Chinese Communist Party police in November last year. Recently, two of Sun Dawu’s sister-in-laws, Yan Yuxiang and Zhou Hongyun, said on Weibo, “As the daughter-in-law of the Sun family, I can no longer remain silent.” However, their Weibo accounts were subsequently blocked and their information was not available for viewing.
Yang Jianli, founder of the U.S.-based human rights organization Citizen Power, told Radio Free Asia that unlike previous economic cases, the Chinese government has taken over all operations of Dawu Enterprises and is attempting to define the case under the vaguely defined charge of “involvement with black people and evil” in order to create a “chilling effect. The Chinese government has taken over all operations of Dawu Enterprises and is trying to define the case with the vaguely defined charge of “involvement in crime and evil” to create a “chilling effect” and threaten other private entrepreneurs.
A Twitter user also said, “Sun Dawu case is really strange, but even a pot.” “The evil of the system is too numerous to write!”
