Remember those huge quarantine facilities China built? Well, they no longer need them and have started to tear them down. The material used to build them is being broken down and sold for scrap. This is such a waste and terrible for the environment. China is definitely not the leader in green initiatives!

On June 20, China’s Military Commission issued a document titled “Measures on Insisting on Struggling Hardly and Building the Army Diligently and Thriftily to Improve the Quality and Efficiency of Army Construction.” It mentions that “the mindset of living on a tight budget is to be maintained, and careful budgeting is to be done” and that the military needs to improve “the effectiveness of the military system and the efficiency of making use of national defense resources.” What does this mean?

Another subway collapse in China! Hopefully nobody was injured.

China has employed a new tactic in its legal war against Taiwan.

Can you believe it? China’s most advanced VT4 tank has turned out to be such a disappointment on the international market that even Nigeria was seriously let down. In 2019, Nigeria made a significant purchase of 35 VT4 main battle tanks from China. Sounds impressive, right? These tanks, touted as “3.5 generation” advanced tanks, failed to fire during military exercises, leaving Nigerian generals wide-eyed in disbelief. If it takes half an hour to fire a single shell in real combat, the enemy would have likely turned us into barbecue by then.Nigeria’s military leadership was frustrated with the situation. The expensive “god tank” they bought turned out to be a flop. Within less than two years, numerous issues emerged, forcing Nigeria to seek alternatives, eventually turning to Russia’s T-90 tanks.#chinaobserver

If this were true, China’s stealth bombers should have already been deployed, but they remain unseen. This clearly indicates that China’s stealth coatings are far from effective.During the Sino-Indian border dispute, two J-20 fighter jets, which are claimed to have stealth capabilities, were flying near the China-India border. However, they were easily tracked by India’s Su-30MKI, showing that the stealth coating was hardly effective.#chinaobserver

Top officials warn more sanctions on China are coming from both the United States and NATO, as concerns loom over China’s support for Russia’s wa

In recent years, China has been exporting weapons to developing countries under the “Belt and Road” initiative. However, it wasn’t long before reports of accidents started coming in from countries like Bangladesh, leading to criticism that the products were substandard. Over the years, the Bangladeshi military has bought a lot of equipment from China: army cannons, air force fighter jets, and navy ships. They thought they were getting a good deal, but soon enough, problems started to arise. The most notable
