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.

Two Cheeks of the Same Arse!

UK: Trump and Galloway – Two Cheeks of the Same Arse! (22.1.2025)

Of course, this is not the first time Galloway has been failed by the social conservatism he uses to deploy his far-right rhetoric, as he is currently married to a woman who is 30-years his junior (he was 30 when she was born), and always wears a hat in-doors to cover-up his loss of hair (wearing a head-cover in-doors in the UK is the height of bad manners). Both Trump and Galloway are defined by their far-right political viewpoints, their misogynistic attitudes, their casual racism, their homophobia and transphobia, and their continuous appealing toward the Trotskyite (pseudo) left for vindication. They share a far-right political agenda that is premised upon deceiving and manipulating the working-class into orchestrating its own demise. Do not support Galloway or the latest incarnation of his ego – the so-called “Workers’ Party” (his previous “Respect Party” was hijacked by Islamicists – who then attempted to oust him from it). Remember, even his old chum Jeremy Corbyn not only refused to allow Galloway back into the Labour Party – but in recent years has “banned” Galloway from sharing a platform with him at public Pro-Palestinian protests. Two-cheeks of the same arse indeed!

Cuba is Not Alone!

Havana: In the Face of the Imperialist Onslaught – Cuba Will Win! Statement of the Revolutionary Government! (21.1.2025)

This new act of aggression by the United States government against the Cuban people shows, once again, the true, cruel, merciless objective of these and so many other measures of siege and suffocation, which are applied against Cuba for the purpose of domination. It is a reaction of impotence in the face of the inability to bend our will and in the face of the respect, sympathy and support that the Revolution inspires among the peoples of the world.

The economic blockade, its reinforcement and the new aggressive measures will continue to weigh, with a very damaging effect, on our economy, the standard of living, the potential for development and the legitimate dreams of justice and well-being of the Cuban people, as has been the case in recent years.

Long Live the Communist Party of Palestine!

Gaza: Communist Party of Palestine Statement! (21.1.2025)

These military movements aim to strengthen American hegemony in the region at the expense of the peoples of the Arab region and their aspirations for freedom, independence and separation from imperialist control. If the agreement is implemented, our Palestinian people will find themselves facing a new entitlement in the West Bank, where they will have to defend their existence and rights against the policies of the occupation and the fascist, murderous settler gangs. The large and violent attack on Palestinian villages by these murderers is the greatest evidence of the upcoming challenges. The Palestinian masses in Gaza and the West Bank will remain in a permanent confrontation with the occupation to preserve their dignity and survival, which requires a unified Palestinian position against any form of normalization with the Zionist occupation and confronting its plans and attacks.
