Thanks popeye, I appreciate the response!

I've just written a new post, a brief summary on Chinese Navy blue water capable replenishment ships with a projection and comparison of the Chinese Navy's replenishment ships with other navies.

Nice site, Blitzo, it'll be one of my regular stops for PRC military news and analysis.

Outstanding website Blitzo! I am gonna help you promote it on sinodefence, PDF, and CJDBY.

The site really is fantastic work. I especially like the weekly roundup as it is a fast way to catch up on anything that I might've missed throughout the week.

Thanks, appreciate it.

The weekly roundups are probably the easiest to put together, content wise... it's just choosing what developments are most worthwhile which is sort of difficult.
I prefer to leave certain geopolitical developments out of the site for now (such as the recent Taiwan election, or the development of the SCS islands), and I'm also not too focused on military related space matters or army and infantry, as well as exercises. That does mean the site leaves quite a few major blind spots, but I also think focusing on air, naval, and missile developments are probably the most important and also least controversial.

Have you got some way of tracking visits and other stats to your new site? Would be interesting to see the growth/trend.

I only began tracking visitors since the end of last month so I mostly only have data for this month.
There was a spike in visits a few weeks ago when someone linked to it from one of the Chinese boardsm but on average the daily unique visitors is about fifty or so, a bit on the low side but that's alright.

I try not to advertise it too much, and I usually only link to it during certain forum discussions if I have a post relevant to a particular topic.

Your posts are very informative and well organized , are there any plans to expand the coverage to the PLAGF or PLARF?

Thanks.

No plans to do so, because the Army and Rocket Forces is hard to get reliable info for, especially for the Army.

I also haven't been able to write much for the site in a long time due to IRL commitments... so apologies to anyone who's been reading the site and hoping for new write ups
