Which news outlet is this? I'm tired of those that put music over military clips, so I'm actively searching for a channel that doesn't.

This more like it. I love the sound of jet engines. I want to hear things authentic not with weird annoying background shit.

Main reason why I hate watching Ukrainian war videos and sometimes Russians. All the fucking annoying music they put on their videos. Like mate, this is not some tiktok video for a bunch of sissy.

Imo basically Chinese and US politicians both sound equally highly cringe most of the time, but the US ones are by far more corrupt.

Young politicians are usually more eloquent. That is a reason I think China may need to drop the current Xi government at some point to truly move on to a new era. Looking at the current situation, Xi doesn't need to put much effort into "winning" this crisis, he just needs to not suddenly act like an idiot an throw all the escalatory advantages China has. And since Xi is generally smart, even if he's suspiciously dovish towards US and had former ties in US, I don't think it's possible for Xi to throw at this point.

That in turn means a 3rd term will be guaranteed.

The current Politburo isn't looking good.

I'm gonna say that Hu Chunhua is destined for top leadership at some point, probably Premier after Li Keqiang, maybe can get President if lucky and he outlasts Xi.

But rest of Politburo is getting too old as they were mostly born in the 50s, even down to the provincial level.

I hope Zhao Lijian is promoted to State Councilor/FM at some point. That would troll the shit out of Australia and India.

2 type 055 sighted, according East Pendulum.

Translated from French:-
According to Taiwanese sources, two Type 055 destroyers were sighted on the east coast of the island on the morning of August 3. The deployment of Chinese forces for military exercises announced between August 4 and 7 appears to be underway.

This effectively a blockade exercise.

Glad to see some of this stuff is starting to break into the publicly available sphere. There'll probably be more articles like these going forward about other organizations. As I stressed so intently while it was occurring, the amount of scrambling going on was to a degree I hadn't seen before.

This article makes no sense. If Biden was so opposed to Pelosi visiting, why didn't he just tell her not to go? Doesn't America have the equivalent of the three-line whip?
