PRC Tariffs Announced!

China: Plans to Add Counter-Tariffs on US Products Announced! (5.2.2025)

Luo Zhiheng, chief economist at Yuekai Securities, said China should resort to effective countermeasures against any tariff threats by the White House, while optimizing domestic policies and anchoring market expectations.

“Based on the experiences gained during the first Trump administration, China can utilize measures such as imposing additional tariffs and export controls to counter trade threats from the U.S.,” Luo said.

He added that China should continue to broaden the list of sanctioned goods and entities, and increase Beijing’s negotiation leverage with Washington.

Given heightened global uncertainties, China should scale up the intensity of its fiscal and monetary policies, actively expand domestic demand to counter any potential downturns in external demand, and steadily push forward high-level opening-up, expand networks with trade partners and diversify its trade portfolios, Luo said.

PLA Navy Type 054B frigate

China: PLA Navy Modernises for “Self-Defence” War! (23.1.2025)

Xiao Liang, a senior hardware researcher in the nation’s shipbuilding industry, said the Type 054B is the largest class of frigate the Navy has ever used and is almost as big as some of China’s old-type destroyers.

“Its large size allows for carrying more munitions and fuel, and also means this new class has bigger potential for further upgrade,” Xiao said. “Its propulsion system enables it to sail farther than other Chinese frigates. Another remarkable point is the new type’s radar system, which, without any exaggeration, makes previous radars of its kind look like antiques.

“Compared with previous frigate models in China that are mainly tasked with anti-submarine operations, the Type 054B is also capable of performing fleet air-defense missions,” he added.

Meanwhile, the larger air-service zone means the new frigate can bring a bigger helicopter such as the Z-20, and that will give the ship a better capability to detect, track and hit hostile submarines, according to Xiao.

Red Flag of Internationalism!

BMA-UK: Solidarity with Migrants – Explained! (23.1.2025)

When they arrived, nobody wanted to help. They had to walk the streets for two-days in the Oxford area until a Police Constable directed them to a local school. Here, they were given food and a bed on the floor of a school hall. Eventually, a local family let them live in a small cottage – where they slowly developed a new life. My grandfather joined the Royal Navy Patrol Service (RNPS) and fought in the North Atlantic fighting in-part alongside the USSR. My grand-uncle joined the Coldstream Guards and guard Buckingham Palace for a time. At the beginning, local Oxford people did not like the Cockney accents of my family – but they soon got use to it. My family eventually got jobs in the local area, joined Unions, and integrated into the local community. This is why I was born in Oxford. I am the product of displacement due to war – albeit within my own country. Today, the bourgeoisie loves to make international “war” as a business option that generates billions of dollars each year.

China: US Allegations [& Reports] of Cyber-Attacks – Firmly Rejected! (17.1.2025)

Shen Yi, a professor at Fudan University in Shanghai and a leading expert on cyberspace governance studies, said, “U.S. intelligence agencies have a typical behavioural pattern in hyping cybersecurity governance and national security issues, which is fabricating facts using false and inaccurate information, and fabricating so-called cyberattacks by other countries.”

The objective is to hype security threats and create anxiety, Shen added.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of the Treasury sanctioned a Beijing-based cybersecurity company, accusing it of helping Chinese hackers infiltrate U.S. telecommunication systems and conduct surveillance.

PRC Places Trade with US Ahead of Solidarity with Cuba!

Cuba: Outgoing Biden Removes Socialist State from “Terrorist” List! (15.1.2025)

I thank all those who contributed to the decision announced today by the United States to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, where it should never have been and which, along with two other measures adopted, has had a high cost for the country and Cuban families .

It is a decision in the right direction, although it was taken late and with limited scope . The blockade and most of the extreme measures that were put in place since 2017 to suffocate the Cuban economy and cause shortages for our people remain in place .

China: Scholars Discover Novel Quantum State of Matter! (11.1.2025)

In the 1930s, physicists discovered superfluidity in liquid helium, a major milestone in advancing foundational research in quantum physics. This discovery spurred the development of low-temperature technologies, including laser cooling and dilution refrigeration, which have become critical tools in quantum simulation, quantum computing, and related disciplines.

This finding, titled “Counterflow superfluidity in a two-component Mott insulator,” was published in the internationally renowned academic journal Nature Physics on Wednesday.

Praised by reviewers, the work was described it as an “outstanding achievement in the field of quantum simulation.”
