The document promotes the so-called “community of shared human destiny,” claiming China will “never seek hegemony,” will “maintain nuclear forces at the minimum level necessary for national security,” and “actively promote international legal documents that pledge not to use nuclear weapons first.”This white paper, which appears emotional and peace-loving, should not be considered a genuine peace declaration. Instead, it seems to be a plea directed at the United States and President Trump. While it may appear humble at first glance, it can be interpreted as misleading and manipulative in its intent.

There are many ways the CCP tries to take over other countries’ territory. There’s military invasion (Tibet). Political invasion (Hong Kong). Piecemeal land acquisition (Bhutan). And now the CCP’s latest technique has made Indian people FURIOUS.

Several days ago, Japan approved a new round of defense spending. The plan states clearly that Japan will deploy long-range anti-ship missiles across the southwestern islands. The United States and Japan have also been conducting frequent joint military drills in the East China Sea, and their official documents openly identify China as the hypothetical adversary.

For the first time in three years, the US published a National Security Strategy, highlighting that it does not support changes to the status quo in the Taiwan Strait and calls on allies to increase defense spending and cooperation. TaiwanPlus spoke to Globsec Associate Fellow Bryce C. Barros about what that could mean for US policy in Asia.📹 Reporter(s): Justin Wu/Lery Hiciano#TaiwanPlus #TaiwanPlusNews #TaiwanNews #policy #Asia #US #USA #security-

The South China Sea stands at the center of one of the world’s most complex geopolitical tensions, involving major powers, regional nations, and critical global trade routes. This video explores why a Maritime Code of Conduct (COC) is essential for preserving peace, promoting stability, and preventing dangerous confrontations across this highly contested region.A Maritime Code of Conduct provides a structured, rules-based framework that guides how countries interact at sea. With overlapping territorial claims, expansive military presence, and competition over natural resources, a COC becomes a lifeline for diplomacy. It reduces the risk of accidental clashes, enhances communication between naval forces, and ensures fair navigation for commercial vessels.We break down the key benefits of a South China Sea Code of Conduct, including conflict prevention, confidence-building, protection of maritime rights, and safeguarding international trade routes. The video also explores the challenges—such as differing national interests, political tensions, and slow negotiation progress—and what the world stands to gain if the agreement is finalized.Whether you are a student, researcher, policy watcher, or someone interested in global security, this video offers clear insights into why a Maritime Code of Conduct is not just important—but urgent. Understanding these dynamics helps us appreciate how diplomacy can prevent conflict and secure a peaceful future in one of the world’s most vital waterways.This video has been created by AI with human efforts.References:ASEAN statements, UNCLOS guidelines, regional security analyses, academic geopolitical studies.#SouthChinaSea, #MaritimeSecurity, #CodeOfConduct, #Geopolitics, #InternationalRelations, #SouthChinaSeaDispute, #ASEAN, #UNCLOS, #GlobalSecurity, #IndoPacific, #TerritorialDisputes, #NavalSecurity, #WorldPolitics, #PeaceAndStability, #ConflictPrevention, #MaritimeLaw, #TradeRoutes, #Diplomacy, #ChinaSea, #StrategicWaters, #InternationalLaw, #PolicyAnalysis, #GeoStrategy, #AsiaPacific, #SecurityStudies, #MaritimeStrategy, #GlobalAffairs, #PoliticalAnalysis, #SeaPower, #Cooperation,

China’s military is entering its most turbulent moment in decades.

This episode examines Zhang’s mysterious disappearance and reappearance, the dinner trap Xi set for Liu Yuan, and the unprecedented release of the Xu Qinxian trial, which exposed deep cracks inside the Party-army system.

China has just declared the WWII-era San Francisco Peace Treaty between the US and Japan “illegal and invalid”. The problem? China will lose A TON of territory.

Putin arrives in India for Modi meet Indian citizen detained at Shanghai airport China builds drone facility in Tibet US restores foreign aid to Tibetan groups Russian President Vladimir Putin meets Indian President Narendra Modi during his first trip to New Delhi since launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. With Western sanctions biting and Russian troops still dying in large numbers on the frontlines, the Russian leader seeks an economic lifeline from India. Meanwhile, Chinese airport officials in Shanghai temporarily detained an Indian citizen from Arunachal Pradesh, which China claims as ‘South Tibet’. This diplomatic provocation comes as China has invested heavily in transportation infrastructure and a drone testing facility in Tibet. But China’s actions aren’t going entirely unanswered, with the US administration restoring funding to Tibetan organizations and warning Beijing against interfering with the Dalai Lama’s succession. What did Putin accomplish in New Delhi? Why is China now pushing a highly dubious historical claim to an Indian-administered territory? And what comes next for Tibet? In today’s episode, we discuss these issues and what they could mean for peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond. *Recorded on December 3, 2025 at 3pm Taiwan Standard Time Host/Senior Producer: Yin Khvat Guests: Lobsang Sangay Former Central Tibetan Administration President Lai I-chung Prospect Foundation President Chapters: 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:01:20 – Putin visits India amid ongoing Ukraine war 00:05:53 – Beijing provokes India over border claim 00:15:45 – China expands Tibet transport grid, drones 00:22:05 – Trump administration restores aid to Tibet #IndiaRussiaRelations #VladimirPutin #NarendraModi #NewDelhi #UkraineWar #UkraineInvasion #RussianMilitary #RussianInvasion #RussiaSanctions #USSanctions #RussianForeignPolicy #IndianForeignPolicy #IndiaChinaRelations #ArunachalPradesh #SouthTibet #PemaThongdok #Tibet #McMahonLine #BritishIndia #SimlaConvention #ChineseHistory #IndianHistory #AsianHistory #BorderDispute #BorderConflict #GoWest #Xinjiang #EastTurkestan #ChineseInfrastructure #ChineseInvestment #Drones #DroneFactory #DroneFacility #USChinaRelations #DonaldTrump #USForeignAid #USAID #DalaiLama #FreeTibet #TibetanPolicyAct #ResolveTibetAct #USTibetPolicy #USForeignPolicy #TaiwanTalks #TaiwanPlus
