Forecast of 2023 global weapon and equipment development
The US unilaterally established a global ballistic missile defense system in 2022. At the same time, it tore up the Treaty on Open Skies with Russia. As a result, the two sides cannot check each other's nuclear weapons and mutual distrust was increased. In addition, the US deployed B61-12 tactical nuclear weapons with relatively small yields in Europe to lower the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons.

Pacific states entitled to claims against Japan for discharge of radioactive nuclear wastewater
Japan decided to just dump the wastewater into the ocean in order to save trouble and money, at the price of transferring nuclear contamination to the whole world, which is extremely irresponsible and selfish.Analysts said if Japan did discharge the wastewater into the Pacific Ocean as planned, the Pacific countries would have the right to claim damages.

Island missile superiority just pie in the sky
The missile-repair incident should awaken some stone-headed secessionists on the island to the widening gap between the Chinese mainland and the island, both of which belong to China. The industrial, technological and military capabilities between the two are incomparable.

Trend of global and regional situations in 2023
In the past year, the United States continued to vigorously promote the so-called Indo-Pacific Strategy in the Asia-Pacific region, and was obsessed with "great power competition". The Biden administration further wooed the US allies and a few regional countries to strengthen the "coterie" against China. In 2023, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to maintain a general trend of relatively stable security, strong economic growth and strong willingness to cooperate and develop.

US dreams of maintaining hegemony with sky-high defense budget
The FY2023 NDAA shows American military's greater emphasis on building all-round military superiority, paying special attention to nuclear, space, cyberspace, missile defense, and other capabilities.

DoD Zero Trust Strategy fuels America's double standards
What the so-called "zero trust strategy" really means is that the US will fortify its own “moat” to protect the "castle" while feeling comfortable about jeopardizing the network of other countries. It should have the capability to stop other countries from accessing American network at will while ensuring its own access to other countries’ network anytime, anyway it wants.

Japan's plan to enhance Yonaguni deployment under Taiwan excuse deserves vigilance
Whether Japan's plans to strengthen military deployment on Yonaguni are to protect the safety of Japanese nationals, or to provoke conflicts among major powers through the excuse of "an emergency in Taiwan," undermine regional peace and stability, and then profit from them, this deserves vigilance.

US, NATO unable to afford another war of attrition
Overall, the situation in Kosovo may remain relatively intense for a certain period. The US, like European countries, does not want another large-scale conflict in this region as it will consume a lot of energy of the US. EU countries are also more willing to let Kosovo leave Serbia step by step, rather than stir up trouble in this region.

Sincerity of US key to better China relations
With the rebuilding of risk management and control mechanisms being an imperative and urgent task to handle the complicated relations between the two countries, Qin will undoubtedly show both sides of his style in his new role, as cordial by preference, and indurated by transgressions are defining features of Chinese diplomacy.

US FY2023 NDAA reveals true culprit of Taiwan-Strait tension
The farce perfectly shows the US really takes Taiwan region as a chess piece. For many years, the US has been selling weapons to the island – seven times during Biden's term alone – against the three China-US joint communiqués, but every piece of those weapons comes at a price because they are paid for rather than being presented for free.

U.S. path to hegemony leads to dead end
The true colors of the United States that it will do anything to benefit itself at the expense of others have become increasingly clear, and its path to hegemony will eventually lead to a dead end. With a rising trend of negative coping and non-cooperation by the rest of the world in response to U.S. calls, the United States is hardly winning any real friends when courting others.

Ukraine crisis is a conflict of attrition
The 10-month old Russia-Ukraine conflict has been constantly changing and becoming increasingly complicated. The conflict is playing out on two battlefields: the bloody fighting in Ukraine, and the games being played by different parties, including the US-led West. This means the conflict also involves economic warfare, information warfare or public opinion warfare.

U.S. must stop moving further down wrong path of manipulating Taiwan question
U.S. President Joe Biden last week signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023. This piece of act contains quite many provisions that seek to stigmatize China. More alarmingly, it sends gravely wrong messages to separatist forces in Taiwan, and is widely perceived as a further step of Washington to suppress Beijing with the Taiwan question.

America's record-high defense budget under spotlight
The call for more military expenditure is primarily driven by the "unprecedented threats" from China, but stressing China as an "extreme military threat" cannot be a more wrong description of the essence of Sino-US competition, and it largely exaggerates China's current military strengths and the possibility of it taking any military action in the future.

What's behind U.S.'s decision to significantly increase military spending?
Washington wants to be fully prepared to intervene in potential conflicts between other countries. Despite its claim that the nation is no longer the world's policeman, the nature of its military interventionism has not changed. In addition to talking about the "China threat," the FY23 NDAA contains important legislation related to the Taiwan region. This is clearly a manifestation of naked military interventionism in China.

US military manipulates public opinion online to maintain hegemony
In the process of this round of expansion of the information manipulation capabilities, the US military has constantly fabricated false information such as the so-called "China secretly providing weapons to Russia" and "conniving at the Taliban's ethnic cleansing". China has become the main victim of the US military's dissemination of false information related to the Russia-Ukraine crisis and the so-called "human rights", etc.

Upgrading Starlink to Starshield exposes US's ambition to seek space military hegemony
From Starlink to Starshield, people can see clearly that the US is trying to build a unilateral space military advantage.

US, ROK's muscle-flexing stirs up tensions on Korean Peninsula
Relevant countries in the region must maintain a high level of vigilance against this background. The first victims will be Japan and the ROK once a conflict or even a war breaks out.

US should stop sliding further down wrong, dangerous path
The US is playing with fire again at year-end as US President Biden signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 on December 24, Beijing time, which includes tons of untrue content smearing and attacking China and sends a seriously wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.

Two-faced US behavior betrays its commitment to sound relations
The United States insists that it still adheres to the one-China principle. Yet belying that claim, it is colluding with "pro-independence" forces on the island, stoking cross-Straits confrontation and undermining peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits.

Japan's new security strategy eclipses pacifism, raises concern
The Japanese government has approved three updated documents on its security and defense policies, vowing to acquire the military power to actively attack its enemy and largely increase its military expenditure for the next five years.

A sea change in Japan's defense strategy

Giving up peaceful path won't make Japan safer
Its current major shift in the security policy and reinforcement of counterattack capability is sure to bring risks and challenges to regional security without making the country any safer. On the contrary, its tendency to break away from the post-WWII track of peaceful development will definitely arouse vigilance and objection in all peace-loving people.

US's ambition for space supremacy clearly exposed
The Starshield project, based on Starlink, further demonstrates the ambition of the US to seek space hegemony. It seriously violates the common aspiration of mankind to use space peacefully and will further intensify the militarization of space.

Why US bans direct ascent anti-satellite missile test?
It's clear that America's commitment to stopping the DA-ASAT test is just a ploy to maintain its advantage and strength over potential rivals by preventing them from catching up. It's worth noting that America's motion only concerns the test, but leaves out the deployment and use of relevant weapons, which lays bare its sinister intention.

Japan's "tax hikes to increase defense budget" unpopular and difficult to promote
The public opinion survey showed that there is a huge divergence between the move to "increase defense budget by tax hikes". However, the Fumio Kishida cabinet's insistence on pursuing the move will have to face many difficulties in the future under the continuous "cold masses of air" with criticism from public opinion.

US tries to save economy through proxy war
The Russian-Ukraine conflict is a proxy war in which it's the Ukrainians that are fighting and dying, using weapons provided by America. By providing huge amounts of weapons to Ukraine, including the Javelin anti-tank missile, Stinger air defense missile, High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), and many others not even disclosed, the US has obtained enormous geopolitical and economic gains.
