Would you look at that, the most green of all media in Taiwan now calling their baseball team "中华队“ instead of "台湾队“. One wonders if this change in tone has something to do with current events.

Again, another opportunity to post those French newspaper headlines:

Tsai made a speech at the Han Kuang exercise that used “Republic of China” as well

"The excellent drill just now demonstrated the ability and determination by the soldiers of the Republic of China to defend the country," Tsai told soldiers via a cabin broadcast, using Taiwan's official name.

"Let's continue to guard our homeland together. Good job," she said.

I now expect the crew of the Kee Lung to fire an SM-2 should Pelosi try to land, to protect the homeland of course, lol.

Luckily for Pelosi it will probably be a dud and miss due to bad maintenance.

Oof, SM-2, not many of those left in ROC.

Fun fact: ROCN can't buy any more SM-2 from US because the version they have use those rail launchers while US have switched to only basing SM-2 in VLS. The VLS version is not compatible with rail launchers because they have an extra rocket booster section at the bottom. US no longer produces the old rail launcher version of SM-2

So that's why Serbia just bought a ton of Chinese equipment. Yugoslavia's collapse was a tragedy.

The Ustase fascists were never truly punished and were later shielded from responsibility by NATO. Sounds familiar?


So their amoral and ahistorical policy is now coming to bite them in the ass.
I doubt that Serbia, even with Chinese weapons, can defend against NATO

If talking about military nepotism and corrupt they should ask their QUAD buddy, India the blueprint to that since that problem is most pervasive in that country's military.
LOL
Just trace the families of Japanese higher-ups. Both in business and the government. Almost all of them trace their origins to higher-ups of the Meiji era. Japan is so nepotism free that somehow everyone is related to a group of people who lived 130-150 years ago!

Tell that to the American bootlicking sycophants at Nikkei newspaper and the rest of western Asian reporting.
