Sounds like the time when they were running with the headline that China would purchase the Ka-52K for their LHDs more than 4 years ago and till now there is not even a shadow of the heli.
But if hypothetically the deal is true, I guess the value would be:
-Looking into the low velocity and lightweight 125mm gun of the Sprut.
-Another point of reference for future airborne vehicle development.
- Real world experience in operating in UAV heavy environments.
-PLAAF hasn't executed a real airborne assault, and any experience even coming from Russia's VDV, which is more like another land unit these days, is still valuable as no other country friendly with China can still teach this skill.
Its funny that people keep saying that TikTok was a tool of Chinese soft power, when China was always hands off on the app and never used it to promote Chinese propaganda. The only soft power was perhaps signalling China's ascendancy into tech superpower status, but China has so many other succesful ventures nowadays a single app isn't going to tip the scale.
On the other hand, if the sale really does go through Trump has supposedly vowed to, surprise surprise, tweak the algorithim to make TikTok a MAGA propaganda echo chamber.
Sidenote I made a prediction on this a few weeks ago, but really anyone following the news even casually would know he was going to do it anyway. And imo, if Trump wants to keep radicalizing his base and dividing America, I'm all for China helping him in that goal

cross training between allies is always a good thing but this article reads like western cope after the Chinese military parade finally convinced western elites that a war with China would be stimulus for American and western coffins and flags to drape them.
In fact western insecurity over their supposed white western supremacy and western chauvinism is evident in how they try to erase chinas message at the UN, of cooperation and even bringing moon rocks from the dark side of the moon as gifts for humanity.
trump doesn’t realise the precedent he’s just set, now all countries of the world can force Facebook, meta, twitter etc to localise due to “national security”. How the CIA gonna do their colour revolutions with national security agencies having a kill switch and influence rooms inside every social media organisation?
More pointedly, under this precedent, why shouldn’t the CPC force nvidia To nationalise its operations in Chinak to have a CPC member monitoring board meetings?
