Does that mean Saudi Arabia is not interested in FC-31 anymore?
They signed a declaration of intent, not an agreement. On the other hand, if SA had equal interest to FC-31, China will not make it public, even an agreement would be very low key.

I am not saying SA is not serious with UK, they could be very serious. It could also be a typical bargain tactic to press China to allow FC-31's production line in SA (they asked for it). I think China is negative to the idea, SA is far less close to China than Pakistan and FC-31 is far more advanced than JF-17. Besides, China is balancing Iran and SA, selling FC-31 to SA is already a huge thing turning the balance, giving a production line is just too much. Essentially SA is pulling the same trick as Turkey in the SAM bidding except Turkey is not at odd with major partner of China in the region.

The US Ambassador to China says that China needs to accept that the US is a leader.

You mean... the US being a leader in terms like how people can just pull out a gun and casually shoot anyone right out in the open?
What he said is so undiplomatic, he pretty much disqualified himself from being a diplomat. China should request the US to recall him.

Not speculating how the pandemic happened. But WIV wasn’t conducting research on coronavirus? You sure about that.
I made a mistake. It should be Wuhan CDC, not WIV. According to CNN, the DOD made the report based on information about Wuhan CDC.
Wuhan CDC had a few labs also. But they probably did not have a coronavirus research program and no one has ever accused them that the virus was leaked from their labs. Either CNN, DOE or both seem to have confused WIV with Wuhan CDC's labs. This won"t add any credibility to the "low confidence" report.

Anyway, there are 2 high quality researches that point to the natural origin of COIVD-19. Both NYT and CNN reported these. They are far more credible in my opinion.

The China Select Committee is by the MIC and for the MIC:

Fight to the last Ukraine?

Fight to the last Taiwanese! Says the guy who probably doesn't know that Taiwan's population is less than 1.7% of China's and its nominal GDP is about 5% of China's.

Is there some truth and logic to this plan? What would China prefer, a quick win for Russia in Ukraine or a pronged war until the Taiwan scenario?

Because if China starts supplying Russia with weapons it's a near game over for the West. They can't outproduce China in any way, they barely keep up with 10 times smaller Russia.

I mean for China to supply weapons to Russia through Belorussia so as to avoid a bad rep. with the rest of the world.

I think China doesn't want the West to restart its military-industrial production there she doesn't want a prolonged war in Ukraine.

Then all of that restarted production could be switched to Taiwan in 2025 and 2027 away from Russia.

However, if Russia wins the war quickly, then there would be less reason for the West to restart their military production, or at least not on that scale

And if Russia wins, it would collapse Western dominance even more in the world, making it easier for them to side with China on Taiwan later.
A quick Russian victory would also provoke the US into making sure that the same would never happen again in Asia. That wouldn't be good for China. Just look at the effort US put into the Vietnam War vs. Korean War.

Don't forget the World Military Games in Wuhan in late 2019, where the US team won zero gold medal and finished last, where some US members were apparently sick with flu like symptoms.

But Chinese culture is so cold or as Lord Sir Francis Fukuyama puts it “low trust”! If a loving and warm “high trust” society like the US is like this, I wonder how many schools get shot up in China every day?
