Where is the crowd that claimed the US was trying to normalise relations? China shouldn't fall in for trap the West is trying to set up. The US has no intention to fullfil China's demands to normalise relations, they are just playing games. The release of Meng means nothing, the Anglos speak with a forked tongue, China should have no mercy.

Yes, I agree that China shouldn't do anything for the US until we see tangible outcome from Washington. However I also agree with the idea that this could be hawks in Washington being unhappy about Biden's recent tone and trying to stir up trouble by rehashing this old news.

Qing were not unified in agreement that signing Treaty of Nanking was a good idea either, significant internal opposition existed who wanted to fight the foreign devils to death at any cost and that sort of thing would eventually lead to things like Boxer Rebellion. A similar situation could be happening here.

This "article 5 covers Diaoyu island" was not new. Japan did that years ago once during Trump's time. China called US out, and U.S. said nothing "yes or no".

There is no point to make further pressure for a clearer clarification this time to repeat the whole circus. Diaoyu island is 2nd priority after Taiwan. No reason to show hand the 2nd round when the 1st is not done yet. The very reason Japan brought this up now is its way to interfere China's move on Taiwan, a distraction. China should not take the bait.

Diaoyu Island is currently being patrolled by CCG vessels and firmly under Chinese control. If Biden was serious about this surely the correct thing to do right now is to send US warships to the waters around it and chase away the CCG ship (and then probably trigger a naval battle once PLAN backup shows up). The fact that Biden is not doing this makes the so called promise worthless.

To paraphrase a common saying in China these days: if mouth cannon is so powerful why even build real cannons

Do you have any relevant news article of China officially calling US out to clarify whether article 5 covers Diaoyutai?

Hungary to build Europe's first 5G smart railway port together with Huawei

Chinese telecommunications equipment giant Huawei on Wednesday signed a cooperation agreement with Hungary's East-West Intermodal Logistics and British telecommunications operator Vodafone, in a joint effort to build Europe's first smart railway hub managed by a 5G private network to be empowered by Huawei.

The move, which comes as some other European countries are still weighing whether to use the firm's 5G technology due to oppositions from the US government, could enable Hungary to lead the way in 5G industrial solutions ahead of other hesitant countries, Chinese experts said.

According to a report from the Xinhua News Agency, the project, which covers an area of 85 hectares in Fenyeslitke, will become Europe's largest intelligent multi-modal railway hub and Europe's first railway port to use a 5G private network for internal communication and technical equipment networking management.

Vodafone Hungary and Huawei's Hungary subsidiary will provide a 5G private network for the project. 5G technology will be used to remotely control fully automatic gantry cranes for intelligent loading and unloading operations. It will be able to handle 1 million standard containers per year after project completion in the first quarter of next year.

Cai Lingyu, CEO of Huawei's Hungary subsidiary, said at the signing ceremony that this is the first time that Huawei has used its world-leading 5G technology to empower the traditional railway logistics industry in Europe and realize remote control of gantry cranes through 5G technology.

With 5G technology's high transmission speed and low latency, company staff can complete their work remotely by sitting in the central control room with the help of 5G back-transmitted high-definition video, Cai said.

"The use of 5G in railways or ports might still be a new practice in Europe, but that's already been widely used in various scenarios in China. Therefore, the Chinese tech giant is the ideal partner for the Hungarian railway hub to achieve an intelligent transformation," Xiang Ligang, director-general of the Beijing-based Information Consumption Alliance, told the Global Times on Thursday.

Xiang said that the decision to include Huawei is a "far-sighted" one to help it lead other European countries in the 5G era. "We expect more European countries to follow suit."

The deal also indicated that the Chinese tech giant, though under a strict crackdown by the US, will not give up extending its business in overseas market.

Huawei recently increased recruitments from Europe and the US. At the end of September, company founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei publicly stated that he would specifically look for "outstanding talent" from all over the world.

The latest well-known participants include French mathematician Laurent Lafforgue, the winner of the Fields Medal in mathematics. A former BBC news executive also announced his landing job at Huawei some days ago.

In announcing the unit, CIA Director William Burns calls the ‘increasingly adversarial Chinese government’ the United States’ top geopolitical threatUS President Joe Biden has said he is not seeking a ‘new Cold War’ but has largely maintained hardline China policies...

Reported by: Owen Churchill

The US Central Intelligence Agency announced the formation of a new “China Mission Centre” on Thursday, the latest sign of a deepening struggle with the country despite Washington’s assertions that it is not seeking a “new Cold War” with Beijing.

CIA Director William Burns said the centre would facilitate a whole-of-agency response to what he considers a “key rival”, according to a statement.

The unit will “further strengthen our collective work on the most important geopolitical threat we face in the 21st century”, said Burns, a veteran diplomat. That threat, he said, was the “increasingly adversarial Chinese government”.

The initiative follows a string of new executive branch units dedicated to countering Beijing, coming in the wake of a China task force at the Pentagon and reports of a new “China house” at the Department of State.

As the administration of US President

has largely maintained the hardline China policies put in place by his predecessor, administration officials have stressed that the US does not want conflict with Beijing, with Biden telling the United Nations General Assembly in September that the US was not seeking a “new Cold War” with China.

But that assertion was complicated on Thursday, as one senior CIA official cited by The Washington Post likened the spy agency’s new mission centre to its response to the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

China represents a greater threat than the Soviet Union, the official was reported as saying, given the scope of its economy, its global reach and its close economic ties with the US.

The CIA’s classification of China as a “key rival” and severe geopolitical threat is likely to anger Beijing. Chinese officials told their US counterparts in a high-level meeting on Wednesday that they rejected even the milder term of “competition” to define the bilateral relationship.

Those complaints have fallen on deaf ears in Washington, where State Department spokesman Ned Price said on Thursday that most of the administration’s engagement with Beijing was “predicated on this idea of competition – and in many cases – stiff competition. It is a relationship that is in some ways adversarial.”

But the administration’s goal was, Price continued, “to minimise these points of friction”.

At a time when US government initiatives targeting Beijing have drawn accusations from lawmakers and human rights groups of fuelling anti-Asian racism, Burns emphasised that the threat from China came from the Chinese government, not the country’s people.

Also announced on Thursday was a new “Transnational and Technology Mission Centre”, which the CIA said would address issues “critical to US competitiveness”, such as emerging technologies, economic security, climate change and global health.

Deputy CIA director David Cohen will oversee the changes to the agency’s structure.

The CIA’s plans to launch the new China mission centre were first reported by Bloomberg in August. The move comes after a review of the agency’s China policy begun by Burns this spring, similar to evaluations the Biden administration has carried out on other fronts, including trade and defence. Early in Biden’s administration, Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin started a task force to examine US alliances, technology and intelligence as they relate to China, as well as the Pentagon’s military relations with Beijing.


In September, Foreign Policy magazine reported that the State Department planned to funnel resources and personnel into a new “China house” at the agency, which would task officers in Washington and overseas with monitoring Beijing’s activities in other countries.

The new CIA unit also follows the establishment during Donald Trump’s administration of the “China Initiative” at the Justice Department, an effort to increase China-related prosecutions in the fields of economic espionage.


That programme has drawn criticism from civil rights groups, who contend it has led to racial profiling of Asian-Americans and Asian immigrants and have urged the Biden administration to drop the initiative.
