US “Asian NATO” Plan Doomed to Failure: Iranian Paper! (16.6.2023)

However, the U.S. plan to create a replica of the NATO in the Asia-Pacific region is doomed to failure, as “it has consequences and at the same time lacks backing from many regional Asian countries” and even NATO allies, such as France, the article added.

In the past, the article said, the U.S. attempt to create a replica of NATO in the Middle East had failed because the regional countries soon realized that it would bring instability to the region and decided to ensure their security by working together.

It warned that, as the U.S. hegemony diminishes, Washington “is playing dangerous games around the world” through seeking to provoke conflicts elsewhere instead of pursuing diplomatic paths.

The article concluded that no one will benefit from a NATO-like military alliance in Asia apart from the U.S., which is accustomed to reaping economic dividends from crises in different parts of the world.

China: “Do NOT Confuse Hegemony of Navigation with FREEDOM of Navigation!” (5.5.2023)

State Councilor and Defense Minister General Li Shangfu called on Sunday for regional countries to stay highly vigilant and firmly reject the actions of some countries outside the South China Sea, which exercise “hegemony of navigation “in the name of “freedom of navigation”.

He warned that those countries just want to “muddy the waters” of the South China Sea to “rake in profits”.

The defense chief made the remarks in his speech delivered at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, a day after United States Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told the security forum that the US will continue to work with allies and partners to uphold “freedom of navigation and overflight” in the South China Sea.

Taiwan Resident Arrested Over Alleged Separatist Acts! (26.4.2023)

The national security bureau in Wenzhou has finished its investigation into Yang’s case and has transferred it to the Wenzhou procuratorate for examination and prosecution, it said.

In August, the Wenzhou national security bureau detained and investigated Yang, who the statement said has long been engaged in “Taiwan independence” separatist activities.

Yang, born in 1990, is a native of Taiwan’s Taichung. He helped set up the “Taiwan national party”, with the goal of “promoting Taiwan to become a sovereign and independent state and join the United Nations”, according to a previous official statement.

US: Member of National Guard “Leaked” Intelligence Documents! (14.4.2023)

The U.S. government has been left in an awkward position in what is believed to be potentially the worst intelligence breach in a decade, not only because the revelation made clear Washington’s deeper-than-perceived involvement in the day-to-day development of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and exposed continued U.S. spying on its allies, but also because of the U.S. government’s total unawareness of the leak despite the months-long and ever-expanding online circulation of the sensitive materials.

While a Wall Street Journal report said the secret documents, of which most content was believed by U.S. officials to be real, were first posted online in January, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters Tuesday that it was only on the morning of April 6 that he was first briefed on the “unauthorized disclosure.”
