TWO key takeaways:
One - If private shipyards (or just about any civilian-owned shipyards, not just government-owned ones) from these countries agreed to conduct maintenance, repair and overhaul of US and allied warships during wartime, then China shall consider such moves as an equivalent of these countries declaring an all-out war against China. Therefore, these shipyards should be considered as legitimate military targets, and be promptly dealt with.
Strike these shipyards with missiles, block access to these shipyards with naval mines, or attack these shipyards with UUVs - Do whatever it takes to keep these shipyards out of reach of the allied naval vessels, grind their warships down and wear them out.
Besides, didn't a team of Chinese researches conducted tests on the demolition of ports two years ago? Should consider if such methods can be applied to shipyards as well:
Two - China currently has the largest shipbuilding capacity in the entire world. Time to prepare for such contingencies.
Right now, while China does have quite a lot of shipyards and dry docks that are capable of building and repairing ships of substantial size, yet only a couple of those shipyards are actually capable of dealing with military ships and submarines:
1. Jiangnan
2. Dalian
3. Hudong-Zhonghua
4. Wuchang
5. Huludao
6. Huangpu Wenchong
7. Guangzhou
Perhaps it's time to start rope all the other shipyards into China's ultimate all-out war effort. Key lessons from Allied Powers of WW2 must be learnt and put into practice.
With that being set, this means that while the aforementioned 7 shipyards can focus on building and repairing larger, more expensive, more important and more powerful warships:
1. Supercarriers i.e. 004, 005;
2. Larger amphibious assault ships i.e. 071, 075, 076;
3. Destroyers i.e. 055, 052D, 05X;
4. Frigates i.e. 054B;
5. Nuclear-powered submarines i.e. 093B, 095, 096;
6. Larger replenishment ships, supply ships & tankers i.e. 903A, 901; and
7. Larger U(C)SVs and U(C)UVs;
etc -
In the meantime, civilian shipyards can be ordered to build and repair smaller, cheaper, less important and less powerful warships - especially those considered war-expendable:
1. Escort (ASW) carriers i.e. 07X;
2. Escort (ASW) surface ships i.e. 056A;
3. Patrol crafts & missile boats i.e. 022;
4. Conventional-powered submarines i.e. 039C, 041;
5. Smaller amphibious assault ships i.e. 072A, 073A, 726, 728;
6. Smaller replenishment ships, supply ships & tankers i.e. 904A; and
7. Smaller U(C)SVs and U(C)UVs;
etc.
Leveraging the power of the civilian shipbuilding sector to supplement the military shipbuilding sector shall bring enormous impacts onto China's sea-based warfighting effort in the IndoPac theater.

After months since Qin Gang left his position as ambassador to the US, Xie Feng is appointed as the new ambassador. He will have a tough job ahead of him, especially if he is treated as poorly as Qin Gang was.
Article details got updated.
He went on to list everyone else they want to kill on Die Welt including top officials, journalists, social media activists, and basically anyone with a non-pro Ukrainian public influence. All the ones who did die months ago were “inside jobs’ according to him (we all know that is a lie). Just like those 100% totally not Ukrainian soldiers in Belgorod that were conveniently equipped with US military vehicles.
My opinion on traitorous hongkongers was already at an abyss during the riots now it has dropped even further. How can one be so detestable. Where is the sense of kinship and unity for your own people?
You want to decouple and you got coupled, why complain now. "This is a mafia-like legal system bullying an American company", didn't the US impose sanctions on hundreds of Chinese companies so it is fine when the US does it but when China retaliates it is not OK, the US can't accept the fact that China can and will retaliate. I think the US is scared not about Micron got sanctioned but feared what to come such as Qualcomm and Apple etc.
It's just the rules based international order can't help it if Micron doesn't follow my rules...

OK, last time, I saw a Yahoo article with over 90% of the comments pro-China and I thought it was a fluke or that that issue was too easy for people to see that the US was in the wrong but this time again??!! Same thing, everyone saying the US started the tech war and now it's crying that China fights back, does what the US was always doing. I used to post on Yahoo comments before posting to SDF and the place was an absolute shit hole with Americans saying everybody should be bombed if they don't tow the US line. There appears to be some big big changes after they disallowed comments for a while and now everyone on there seems to realize that the US is just a big bully who cries everytime he gets a taste of his own medicine. I wonder what brought about this change.
In my opinion the Russian military was woefully underprepared for a military operation of such scale; there simply wasn't sufficient logistical and intelligence preparation in advance. I'm willling to believe that even the high echleons of Russian were only given a few month's notice at most. The actual battleplan was sound, but appeared to be based off a contingency plan drafted shortly after 2014 that vastly underestimated Ukrainian resistance. And even that was not carried out with sufficient force due to lack of preparation. I'm willing to believe that Kremlin carried out the operation irregardless simply because the window of opportunity was closing quickly.
I think Putin was correct from a strategic perspective. Western economies were pummelled by COVID-19, but not yet crippled. Biden, an ardent Atlanticist with a government that was extremely hostile to Russia, was coming to power in the US. Once the West recovered sufficiently from the slump Russia will be chocked further by NATO with no chance of fighting back. It might be his last chance to reverse the increasingly tight stranglehold on Russia and dismantle the existing order. And judging from the economic havoc the war has caused on the West, it appears that Putin was correct after all. As for the Russian military, it simply wasn't Putin's field of expertise.
