American logistic expert reports from China video: Iran wants to buy a new air force from China 美國物流專家發來中國視訊報導：伊朗想從中國購買新空軍

Immediately following American air strikes, Iranian military officials flew to Beijing to negotiate the purchase of J-10C fighter jets and AWACS from China.
Pakistan’s air force is equipped with Chinese-built fighters and missiles, and in a recent air battle against Indian forces shot down several top-line Western-built fighter jets and drones.
Chinese defense firms build equipment that is comparable or superior in quality, at considerable cost savings head-to-head against gear from NATO countries or Russia.
What’s more, other militaries are struggling to build weapons at all, given that supply chains for the most advanced munitions and systems run through China for rare earth metals, and the other BRICS countries for raw materials.
If China agrees to supply Iran, it will remake the military and diplomatic landscape of the Middle East, for decades to come.
The Dalai Lama succession scam: The Dalai Lama has declared that he will decide the method upon which his reincarnated successor will be decided. 達賴喇嘛繼任騙局：達賴喇嘛宣布，他將決定其轉世繼承人的確定方式 By KJ
The Western press is framing his “reincarnation” as his last act of defiance against Beijing. https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/03/asia/dalai-lama-90-birthday-reincarnation-battle-china-intl-hnk
This is nonsense. The Dalai Lama has no more authority to decide his successor or his method of succession than the Pope has to decide his.
Tradition dictates succession.
This explains the traditional method and why it was implemented https://x.com/ZhaiXiang5/status/1940477330163749312
People who claim that the Dalai is the reincarnation of the Buddha are wrong.
The Buddha does not reincarnate. That’s the definition of the Buddha: the awakened being that has transcended the cycle of birth and rebirth.
“If it’s reborn, it’s not buddha”.
Neither is the Dalai Lama the leader of Tibet, of Buddhism, or even Tibetan Buddhism. He is one of the leaders of a single sect of Tibetan Buddhism, the Gelugpa (the other is the Panchen Lama). There are 5 other major schools, some of which do not recognize any central authority. Nor is “TIbetan” Buddhism uniquely TIbetan. Nepal, Mongolia, and other countries practice the Vajrayana-influenced tradition but have nothing to do with the Dalai Lama.
As for those who argue that this is Chinese political interference in an autonomous religious tradition, they fail to understand that the very institution of the Dalai Lama was created and endowed by the Ming Tributary King Shunyi [Altan Khan] upon Sonam Gyatso, the leader at the time of the Gelugpa. (Sonam Gyatso was designated the third Dalai Lama by Shunyi, and the previous Gelugpa leaders retroactively designated as reincarnations (or pre-incarnations, if you will)).
The specific idea of a reincarnating leader (the “Tulku system”) came out of several political needs:
First, to ensure succession of theocratic power within [a technically] celibate order–e,g, the great grandson of Shunyi was designated the 4th Dalai Lama.
Second, to prevent assassination–Tibetan palace intrigue had led multiple assassinations; in particular the assassination of Buddhist King Ralpachen led to the creation of the Tulku system, a political appropriation of the reincarnation trope that was designed to send the message “it’s useless to assassinate me, I will just keep coming back”.
Third, to ensure continuity of patriarchal dominance through a myth of “male motherhood”–a divine, self-reproducing male
This is the most likely scenario for “reincarnation”: selection by CIA/Western NGO, https://nitter.poast.org/barua2004/status/1940831190791115136#m

Video: Soft weapons, save lives or kill people? 軟武器，救人還是殺人？發表於 2025-07-04
日前，土耳其阿納多盧通訊社一個報道，單看題目，已非常驚人：「加沙當局稱在美國派發的麵粉袋中發現毒品」。
加沙媒體辦公室日前亦發表聲明，指巴勒斯坦民眾在美國和以色列的加沙援助點分發的麵粉袋內，發現鴉片類藥物羥考酮（Oxycodone）。
聲明稱：「到目前為止，我們已記錄了四份證詞，他們在麵粉袋裡發現這些藥片……部分麻醉物質可能被故意研磨或溶解在麵粉裡，構成對公共健康的直接危害。」加沙當局稱：「以色列正在使用『毒品』作為對付平民的軟武器。」
據悉，這些含羥考酮的麵粉是來自「加沙人道主義基金會」（GHF），該組織是由美國私人軍事承包商提供支持，以色列軍隊作保護，向加沙民眾提供糧食救援。
羥考酮一般是用於緩解疼痛尤其癌病痛症的鴉片類藥物，有麻醉作用，會成癮，也會產生幻覺，是藥品，也是毒品。
幾十年來，以色列對加沙趕盡殺絕，巴勒斯坦人民仍一代一代地頑強抵抗。槍炮打不死你，於是，以色列就用軟武器來摧毀你，這方面，經歷過鴉片戰爭的中國人最有經驗了。
當民眾成了癮君子，還會有鬥志有力量去守護國家嗎？當大家對毒品成癮，整體社會意識、國家觀念也會被瓦解。
今天，屠殺者偽裝成援助者，逼使饑餓的巴勒斯坦人只能在餓死和吃下毒品之間做選擇，這是非人類行為，禽獸也不會如此卑劣。
這個派發問題麵粉的所謂救援組織「加沙人道主義基金會」（GHF），是由美國及以色列支持。他們繞開聯合國，單方面「接管」加沙地帶的援助物資分發工作，理由是，確保物資不落入抵抗組織「哈馬斯」手中。
然而，民眾去「基金會」物資分發點取食物，卻是一場死亡遊戲。因為基金會派了一個月食物，就已有500多個平民在領取物資時身亡，另有4000多人受傷。
據目擊者描述，「基金會」的物資分發點十分有限，全集中在加沙南部，民眾需要長途跋涉才能抵達；到了分發點，餓壞了的民眾還要在圍欄圈出的擁擠區域苦等數小時，才能領取到有限食物。
加沙城居民阿布·易卜拉欣告訴新華社記者說：「我們凌晨4時去領美國人的援助物資，結果那裡槍聲四起，特別可怕，我們空手而歸。每次去領救濟，遭遇的只有槍聲和傷亡。」
根據美國CNN報道，單是6月1日，就至少有31名平民在等待分發物資時遭槍擊身亡。
以色列國防軍對射殺平民的狡辯是：他們偏離領物資路線、他們靠近以軍人員等。但以色列《國土報》卻引述多名以色列士兵的匿名爆料，說他們是在指揮官的命令下向平民開火。一名士兵說：「那裡沒有敵人，他們手無寸鐵」。
聯合國人權辦公室直言，以方將人道主義援助武器化，是戰爭罪。聯合國秘書長古特雷斯指，美國主導的加沙地帶援助物資分發機制「正在殺人」。聯合國難民救濟和工程處專員菲利普·拉扎里尼更表示，美以借援助引絕望的加沙民眾走進「死亡陷阱」，「造成的損失比其拯救的生命還要多」……
譴責繼續，但殺戮也繼續，如果真有上帝，我只想問：審判到底何時到來？
MAYBE STAY off the beach next year. Autonomous mass-killer robots which move underwater will be financed by Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, now being pushed through in Washington DC. But rich investors in weapons firms will get richer, and that, ultimately, is the important thing, right? (Men and women of US Congress rapidly nod their heads in unison.) 明年或許別再去海灘了。水下自主殺傷性機器人將由唐納德·川普的「一樁大美法案」資助，該法案目前正在華盛頓特區推進。但武器公司的富豪投資者會越來越富，而這才是最重要的，對吧？ （美國國會議員們齊聲點頭.)
Cash for the military to build “maritime robotic autonomous systems and enabling technologies” is listed in part 20002.33 of the new law, costing US$188,360,000.
And that’s just one part of the US$150 billion being spent on trying to copy China’s delivery drones, but with guns.
I read as much of the 1,018 page document as I could stomach.
First, there’s a big increase in weapons spending – by a country which has never been invaded and which no one is threatening to invade. So what is it for? The answer is in the last paragraph of this write-up.
OFFENSIVE
The weapons spending is clearly offensive in all meanings of that word.
“Autonomous” means robots are given the power to decide which humans live, not humans. Americans are apparently okay with this. (Has no one from America EVER SEEN A MOVIE?)
Filling the oceans with death-dealers is definitely a theme. The Bill includes US$250,000,000 for the development, production, and integration of wave-powered unmanned underwater military vehicles.
But don’t feel left out if you live on the land. There’s a payment of US$3,700,000,000 (yes, that’s the correct number of zeroes) for some lucky weapons firm to make one “Amphibious Assault Ship”, so they can still crawl out of the water and come and get you. For that price, I may begin making such a ship my living room.
BIG FINANCE ISSUES
The bill’s defenders say it offers tax relief, raising the child tax credit to US$2,500. But that’s a very small bonus in 1,018 pages of tightly typed spending pledges.
What is more worrying is that the bill raises the debt ceiling by more than US$4 trillion. (Think of a sky-high pile of money amounting to a billion dollars. A trillion is a thousand billions, so think of a city covered with a thousand piles of a billion dollars. Now double the vision to two such cities. And then double it again to four cities. That’s four trillion.)
I know there are economists which say the US debt to the outside world will never have to be repaid. America could unilaterally cancel the debt and have a war with the rest of the world instead. (My reply: AND THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE COMFORTING?)
WHERE THE CASH COMES FROM
Where does all this money come from? The One Big Beautiful Bill slashes the budgets for unimportant stuff like environmental protection and citizens’ healthcare.
It gives freedom to big oil to do whatever it likes to mother nature.
So humanity itself and the planet on which we live will suffer terribly, and the world as we know it may actually come to an end.
Washington Post: How it feels to be a proud new U.S. citizen on the Fourth of July? Except for China & Russia, US still can freely extort, rob and steal from any country we wanted. 《華盛頓郵報》：在7月4日這天成為一名自豪的美國新公民感覺如何？除了中國和俄羅斯，美國仍然可以肆意敲詐、搶劫和偷竊任何我們想要的國家!
Dear Johnson,
Happy Fourth of July! I’d like to provide an update on the progress the US and China have made regarding export controls as per the agreement recently reached in London.
Earlier this week, AmCham Shanghai participated in a briefing in Beijing by the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) on export controls. MOFCOM highlighted its efforts in streamlining approvals for rare earth exports. It noted that while the statutory processing period for such export licenses is 45 working days, the current average review and approval time for applications for US-bound exports is fewer than 20 working days. According to MOFCOM’s Bureau of Industry Security and Export Control, it has approved 310 export license applications for rare earth shipments to the US in the past three months. The applications for third-country destinations by US companies, however, are not processed in the same category.
Meanwhile, the US has lifted the licensing requirement (introduced in May) for exporting Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software tools to China. These tools are critical for chip design, testing and validation. Top EDA vendors such as Synopsys, Cadence Design Systems and Siemens have been notified by the US Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security of the change. In addition, the US has rescinded licensing requirements set as recently as early June for US ethane producers to export to China. China is a major market for US ethane, a natural gas liquid primarily used to produce ethylene.
While it is not clear whether the two sides will try to further roll back tariffs, we are pleased to see measurable progress in easing export controls.
Regards,
Eric Zheng
President, AmCham Shanghai
