So is it German or not?

The CN08 is a 120 mm 55-caliber smoothbore gun produced by Hyundai WIA. It is incorrectly known as the licensed production of the Rheinmetall Rh-120 L/55, but it was indigenously developed by the Agency for Defense Development and Hyundai WIA from 2003 to 2008 for the XK2 development project started in 1995.[5] The development was completed after the operational test ended in September 2008.

Cow dung can’t replace Russian fuel – expert​

Despite great hopes, gas produced from manure cannot alone rid Germany of its dependence on Russian fossil fuels, a leading biogas expert has explained.

Berlin has been rushing to find ways to replace Russian natural gas after the EU imposed sanctions on Moscow over its military operation in Ukraine.

Biogas, which is produced from organic waste such as manure, corn or grass, has been discussed in German media as an alternative to the Russian natural gas delivered through pipelines.

There are around 9,500 biogas plants scattered across rural Germany, according to Der Spiegel magazine.

Farmers convert the generated gas into electricity and heating for their homes.

Asked by German daily Die Welt on Tuesday if biogas could replace Russian energy supplies, Dr. Guido Ehrhardt, an expert at the German Biogas Association, said: “No, unfortunately
“Biogas from Germany can replace a lot, but not that much,” Ehrhardt added. “From a purely technical standpoint, it would be possible to replace 40% of Russian gas imports with biogas in one or two years.”

But even reaching that target would be challenging and would require “political will,” the expert explained, as the industry would need more skilled workers and materials, and the government would have to cut red tape.

Germany imported 55% of its gas from Moscow before the Russia-Ukraine conflict, according to AFP.

While the EU has promised to phase out Russian gas and urged member states to ration and conserve energy, German officials repeatedly warned that an immediate end to supplies from Moscow will badly hurt the economy.

China allows Penghu, Liangjiang and Kinmen to remain under ROC for a reason, so that ROC can't declare "Taiwan" Independence. Taking those islands back would be detrimental to China's overall strategy.

I think China can take the Taipaing Island in the SCS with this opportunity.

Talking about foreign aid and debt, China will renegotiate and forgive foreign debts, while the ruling creditor/rentier oligarchy in the U.S. and the West, with their institutions like World Bank and IMF, will never ever forgive debt. According to Michael Hudson, this is the reason why the U.S. and the West are going down hill all the way.
