Japan, a country still haunted by militarism; NATO, the world's largest military organization functioning as a tool to maintain American hegemony. Their closer relationship and attempt to introduce to the Asia Pacific a security model that has already proven a failure in Europe will only lead to new unrest. Japan should be reminded that leading the plague to the East is extremely unwise and inviting a wolf into the house is equal to self-destruction.
2022-09-15 17:29Nuclear weapons are the sword of Damocles hanging over humanity. The nuclear submarine cooperation among the US, the UK and Australia is not their private matter, much less is it up to them to decide. They must give the world a definite answer on how to perform the non-proliferation obligations, and give up the plot to cover up their nuclear endeavors.
2022-09-14 17:27Sunday marks the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

2022-09-14 16:45As the COVID-19 pandemic is still lingering and the world economy is having a hard time recovering, America's greedy pursuit of self-interests and wanton manipulation of US dollar hegemony have become the source of global instability and uncertainty. It is the true saboteur of international rules and world order.

2022-09-13 09:24Over the years, the impression the US military has left on the Okinawan people is so horrific that most voters resisted the huge lure of the around 350 billion yen ($2.46 billion) subsidy Tokyo had promised and they voted for Tamaki. They reject the action of moving the US military facilities from one part of Okinawa to another. They want them to move out of Okinawa instead. Facing Tokyo's "carrot and stick" policy, the people of Okinawa are not foolish.
2022-09-13 09:22"The United Sates' definition of terrorism depends on Washington's interests. The U.S. has been using terrorism as a tool to invade and defeat free nations to ensure its interests," said Najibullah Jami, an Afghan political expert and Kabul University professor.
2022-09-12 21:21German Bundeswehr's constant appearance in overseas military operations lately stems from NATO's defense vacuum in Europe caused by America's strategic shift to the east and from the security threats from the changing military situation in Europe. As the Bundeswehr seems to take the opportunity to strongly develop itself, its two tendencies are worth close attention and vigilance.
2022-09-09 18:26Mankind is an inseparable community with a shared future. All parties in the world must continuously strengthen the universality, authority, and effectiveness of the NPT, resolutely resist and expose the hypocrisy and hegemonic nature of the US and add more stability and certainty to the international community.
2022-09-08 17:49For a long time, the American troops stationed overseas have claimed to maintain the so-called "order" and "rules" in the host countries under the pretext of "security cooperation", while actually, they place themselves above the local laws under the protection of extraterritoriality. Their misconduct and violations have triggered a public outcry.
2022-09-08 17:17Afghans celebrated the one-year anniversary of the US withdrawal from the war-torn country, which is now a national holiday, on Monday. As if intended as a ridicule of Washington which has spent $300 million each day in the past 20 years but in the end fled in disorder, marchers shouted victory slogans beside the US embassy in Kabul.
2022-09-08 14:49Japanese leaders have not apologized for their country's militarist past when the Imperial Japanese Army killed tens of millions of people and plundered countries across East and Southeast Asia. As such, Japan only exposes its double standard when it claims to be the sole victim of nuclear attacks while downplaying the atrocities the Japanese committed in other Asian countries before and during World War II.
2022-09-08 08:36American media reported that the US Department of Defense formed a so-called Tiger Team last month to be responsible for examining the efficiency of America's foreign arms sales and streamlining the process of the transactions.
2022-09-07 21:08After the earthquake, the armed police, firefighters and soldiers, professional medical teams and rescue forces were quickly mobilized. "Rescue" is a bugle calling in the earthquake-hit area. The supremacy of life is not an empty slogan, but vivid scenes: There are special police officers who dug out the buried people with their bare hands, and armed police soldiers who created life corridors with their hands, as well as teachers who ran back toward the students.
2022-09-07 08:29With the world once again facing division along Cold War lines, India is one of the few countries that can bridge the divide. On the one hand, India is a member of the US-led Quad and a participant in the "Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity" initiated by the Joe Biden administration. On the other hand, India maintains friendly and cooperative relations with Russia.
2022-09-07 08:27Since 2013, the US government has systemically smeared China on cybersecurity. It falsely accused the Chinese government of launching direct or indirect cyberattacks against the US and issued fabricated reports to confuse the international community, trying to paint China as the "victimizer" and itself as the "victim", thus manufacturing excuses for its bullying of China in the network and information industry.
2022-09-06 17:33The defense budget request made by Japan's Defense Ministry on Wednesday is the largest ever.If approved, it will continue the country's soaring military spending over the past decade.The proposed sum of 5.6 trillion yen ($40 billion) for the fiscal year of 2023, which ends in March 2024, will surpass the 5.4 trillion yen in planned spending for the current fiscal year.
2022-09-06 20:43As global warming and global competition intensify, NATO, led by the US, is preparing to open up a new "battlefield" and increase its military presence in the Arctic. Recently, NATO countries have adopted various measures to "strengthen their presence" in the Arctic, which has aroused the alarm and dissatisfaction of Russia and other countries. In this context, the strategic game in the Arctic may be further intensified.
2022-09-06 15:46As the US has consistently shifted the focus of its national security strategy and global strategy toward "coping with major-country competition and geopolitical game", the US government is going to great lengths to counter and hedge the influence of rising China in a broader geographical scope.
2022-09-05 17:25When the United States went into Afghanistan in 2001, Americans pointed their guns at terrorists, trying to bring the perpetrators of 9/11 to justice.

2022-09-03 16:45Japan's incessant increase of defense budget will seriously threaten regional peace and stability. Japan has shown an obvious right-leaning tendency in recent years and has never truly reflected on its aggressive history. What's more, it has kept increasing the defense budget and strengthening military capacities with America's encouragement, connivance and support, in return for which it is an eager and willing flunky in deploying America's Asian-Pacific strategy.
2022-09-02 18:55Pitch Black 2022 shows that Australia has become a "bridgehead" for the US to strengthen its military presence in the Asia-Pacific region. The US actively woos countries in and outside the region to speed up the establishment of an "Asia-Pacific version of NATO" and steps up the pace of establishing military alliances in the Asia-Pacific region.
2022-09-02 18:40The Chinese military's participation in the Vostok-2022(East-2022) military exercises organized by Russia does not target any third party and is intended to safeguard regional peace and stability, experts said.
2022-09-02 09:35Either from the historical and cultural perspective – Central Asian countries used to be members of the Soviet Union – or from the perspective of geopolitical interests, Central Asia is an indispensable link for Russia’s national interests and security. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has further strained the relationship between Russia and the US or the broader West.
2022-09-01 15:50China-Russia military and security cooperation serves mutual core interests, does not target any third party, and is conducive to regional peace, stability and development. It will not be affected by the external environment, Zhang said, noting that China highly values the China-Russia military and security cooperation and will jointly work with Russia to promote bilateral military and security cooperation to a higher level, and to cover a broader range of areas.
2022-09-01 09:30August 31, 2022, marks the one year anniversary of America's complete withdrawal from Afghanistan.

2022-09-01 00:29It seems that Taiwan has become a catwalk on which various US politicians want to strut to put themselves in the spotlight, no matter how much their preening and posturing ratchets up tensions in the region.
2022-09-01 00:12The British government recently released a new National Strategy for Maritime Security (NSMS) report, eight years after the previous one. Some commented that Britain's current capacity cannot sustain its ambitious maritime strategy, while others said as the country implements what's stated in the report, the British maritime forces may come to bear on regional security.
2022-08-31 17:32Cramming "American-style democracy" down the throat of other countries will only make them sick and leave them in chaos. The Costs of War project at Brown University shows that more than 174,000 people, including over 47,000 civilians, have died as a direct result of the Afghan War.The UN Refugee Agency said the Afghan War that lasted nearly 20 years has driven 2.6 million Afghans out of the country and 3.5 million homeless.
2022-08-30 16:36About 100 aircraft and 2,500 personnel from 17 countries are participating in Exercise Pitch Black 2022 in northern Australia. The three-week-long, US-led exercise includes America's yes-man Britain as well as France and Germany. Does this mean Paris and Berlin will follow in the steps of America to militarily interfere in the Asia Pacific? Why are they so active in joint exercise?
2022-08-30 14:59The regular, institutionalized military exercises between the US and ROK are detrimental to the peace and stability of the Korean peninsula. Instead of giving ROK a stronger sense of security, it has increased the doubts and mistrust between the south and the north of Korea and thrown them into a new round of security anxiety, harming the security interests of both.
2022-08-29 17:54It is now no way for the U.S. military presence in South Korea to be seen as a generous endeavor to safeguard South Korea or its so-called democratic values. Rather whole things along this line have gradually been morphing into a potentially disastrous U.S. broader strategy to contain China.
2022-08-29 10:01The staging of the biggest joint military drills in years by the Republic of Korea and the United States is making waves. Though the US and the ROK claim that the exercise is defensive, observers point to the offensive and aggressive nature of the maneuvers, and they are raising the alarm.
2022-08-28 20:59Behind a falsehearted care for the peaceful resolution of the cross-Strait situation is a United States continuously sending wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" forces, which has become the biggest backer of those forces and the greatest external barrier to cross-Strait peaceful reunification. The so-called "one-China policy" the United States often mentioned is nothing but a diplomatic language that reveals its evil intention to fudge and hollow out the one-China principle.
2022-08-28 17:58Regarding space exploration as an integral part of the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, China has always kept an open attitude to international cooperation and it is committed to using its aerospace technology and space research findings to serve the common good.
2022-08-28 20:51As a matter of fact, the United States is the real destroyer of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and a fraud who tries to pin the blame of changing the "status quo across the Taiwan Strait" on China. In terms of the Taiwan question, China has full legal and moral confidence, making itself more determined, willing and powerful to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
2022-08-27 23:03The US interest in becoming the "police of the Pacific Ocean" is undiminished; meanwhile, Australia has often called itself "deputy sheriff" of the Pacific Ocean, which makes the Exercise Pitch Black 2022 seem to be a way of fulfilling Australia's "duty" as the so-called deputy sheriff in the region.
2022-08-26 18:55Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi made a provocative visit to China's Taiwan region recently in disregard of the Chinese side's stern warnings. The visit seriously infringes on China's sovereignty and security, seriously undermines China's territorial integrity, seriously jeopardizes peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and seriously erodes the political foundation of China-US relations.
2022-08-25 22:28A number of leaders, scholars and observers warned that the US-led security blocs-mostly built in recent years-are risking the region's hard-won peace and rapid economic growth built over the past decades when hyping the possibility of another Ukraine-style crisis in the Asia-Pacific region.
2022-08-24 08:53Following the visit to China's Taiwan region by Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, the United States and Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities have been colluding with each other to keep making false statements and confusing right from wrong, in total disregard of the facts.
