That is why Sanda is adopted by the PLA and police force instead of any of the traditional Chinese martial arts. It is a much more practical and grounded martial art. Sanda is derived from a combination traditional Chinese martial arts, so it still is a Chinese cultural heritage. Seeing it work in UFC is further vindication that the Chinese have successfully modernized their martial arts for modern circumstances. And that the PLA knows what they're doing.

I think it is the other way around. The so-called "Chinese martial arts" are plays made by street artists for food, they were never real techniques used by any Chinese military in the past. What the military used was and is always something practical and Sanda is just a morden name. PLA just continued using it.

It is the same thing as various "weapons" used in "martial arts", most of them did not exist in the military, or have been changed in shape beyond practical purpose. Such as the iconic 牛尾刀 which is the sword that "represents" "Chinese martial arts", but never used by the army.

Another example is the dress in classic Chinese drama are far far away from actual traditional Chinese dresses.

War in the Pacific? Nah, more like World War 3.

Ukraine apparently has plans on attacking Chinese civilian and military ships as punishment for being friendly with Russia. They cannot do this without Western Intelligences. Specifically, the Americans. Rather ominous that the article uses the word “yet” because that appears to imply the plans already exist but the green light has not been given.

That would be the stupidest thing that Zelensky will ever do. Basically a death sentence for Ukraine if they force China to provide direct weapons to Russia.

I'm not surprised. BYD has become the top selling car brand in Singapore. For most consumers, cars are one of the most technology-rich and quality-demanding products. If most buyers are willing to consider your cars, then the barriers for your other products are broken.

This is a nothingburger. Zelensky already has his hands full with Russia. There are less painful forms of suicide than picking a war with China at the same time. This reminds me of Zelensky accusing China of supporting Russia with troops and weapons. I can see that he's trying to curry the favor of NATO so that they'd send more weapons to him, but it seems like a really dumb move. First off, nobody actually believes him so he gains nothing, but it ticks off China, so what if China were to actually support Russia?
