Hmm, yes, those dastardly Chinese, invading South Korea in 1950, with the blue uniforms that they sent back in time.

the bit about korea is dumb and obviously false, yes, but if the rest is accurate it's very funny

makes sense. besides gendered pronouns in spoken language, moving the zero around to account for western number words wrapping up at 3 zeros instead of 4 has got to be the biggest difficulty for native chinese speakers

its actually 2 provinces but OK (taiwan administers some small islands which are in Fujian)

edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujian_Province,_Republic_of_China the government in Taiwan also considers these as a different province I think

While the church was not overtly political, the belief in a separate Taiwanese identity suffused the institution. Unlike some Taiwanese-led churches that offer services in Mandarin or English, most Taiwanese Presbyterian churches in the United States adhere to the Taiwanese language. Pastor Chang said it stemmed partly from their view of Mandarin as the “language of the oppressors.”

lol yep definitely nothing overtly political about that at all

Australia and China actually have diplomatic relations again, largely prompted by the change of government in Australia. Too early to say how anything will actually pan out though

Richard Marles’s ‘full and frank’ meeting with China ends Australia’s diplomatic freeze

quote:

Australia’s deputy prime minister, Richard Marles, has had a “frank” hour-long discussion with China’s defence minister in Singapore, marking the highest level in-person contact between the countries in almost three years.

Marles, also the defence minister, said he raised the controversial interception of an Australian aircraft by a Chinese jet last month and broader issues in the Pacific with China’s minister of national defence, Wei Fenghe, during a meeting on the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue ministerial conference in Singapore.

The event is notable because China has not allowed phone calls or meetings between Australian ministers and their direct counterparts since early 2020. Chinese officials have repeatedly argued Canberra must provide a “better mood” as a precondition for high-level dialogue resuming.

[…]

Marles said the meeting, lasting more than an hour, was “hosted by China” and was organised after the two ministers were seated together at a dinner on Friday night, but declined to provide any further details of what they discussed in the meeting.

“We want to take this in a very sober and deliberate manner. We don’t underestimate the difficulties we’ve had in our bilateral relationship,” Marles said.

Global Times editorial:
Australia urged to show real actions to reset China ties amid confusing messages at key security meeting

quote:

Only one day after alleging that "China's military build-ups" would cause inevitable upgrade of military capabilities of its neighbors in his speech at the 19th Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, Australia's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Richard Marles met on Sunday with China's State Councilor and Defense Minister Wei Fenghe who is also attending the event, a first time for three years, which Australian local media hailed as a sign of breaking a two-year diplomatic stalemate between the two countries and marking a first step toward improved bilateral relations.

However, Chinese observers expressed caution, saying the meeting shows Beijing's expectations to restore ties with Canberra especially after new Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese took office, while pointing out that Canberra is still living in the shadow of the former Morrison government where it continues to embroil itself in an unnecessary arms race, posing China as its imaginary enemy, and serves as a vanguard of the US against China in the region, and that would still complicate the relationship.

[…]

The latest meeting reflects expectations for improved bilateral relations after Albanese took office and it is hoped that bilateral relations will develop in a positive direction, the expert added.

Canberra should deeply understand that it is in line with their national interests to develop normal relations with China, and that the new Albanese government would cease following the wrong path of the former Morrison government to undermine the bilateral ties and cause harm to the country's interests, Song noted.

On Taiwan:
https://www.theguardian.com/austral...f08f7f9ebefd763

quote:

Marles is asked a question about what Australia’s role would be if the dispute over Taiwanese independence escalates into a war.

Australia does not support Taiwanese independence. We have good relations with the people of Taiwan. What we don’t want to see is any unilateral action on either side of the Taiwan Strait, which changes the status quo. And what we do want to see is that the situation for the people of Taiwan is resolved through peaceful negotiation. That’s our position in relation to Taiwan and in truth that’s been a long-standing bipartisan position within Australia for decades, and it will remain there.”

I feel that the news of HK flagged ship (China) sending drones to US ship in California should be a bigger news than just reported by a military blog.

Also why is that drone flying so long on the photo. It's lower than the high point of the ship (whatever your naval lingo call it).

probably the reason planes try to fly nape of the earth, the lower you are the harder it is to see you with radar and the like, since trees and hills and presumably waves block or confuse the radar.
