Video: US Stunned: 90% of the increase in global oil stocks has been absorbed by China’s strategic and commercial reserves in 2025! What’s Happening? 美方震驚: 2025年全球石油庫存增量的90%竟被中國戰略與商業儲備吸收! 背後暗藏何種玄機?
In 2025, one country took 90% of the world’s new oil reserves—China.
While the economy cools down and 10 million new EVs hit the roads, China is stockpiling 1.2-1.4 million barrels per day. With a 180-day oil reserve far exceeding international safety standards, the US has gone silent.
What’s really going on?
This video provides in-depth analysis on: ✅ Why China is stockpiling oil despite economic slowdown ✅ What the 90% figure really means ✅ What scale of crisis a 180-day reserve can handle ✅ Energy warfare in US-China competition ✅ Impact of Taiwan Strait tensions and Japan’s right-wing shift
This isn’t just about energy—it’s strategic positioning in great power competition.

India has become a laughingstock again! Spending $1 billion on eight tunnel boring machines from China, with the original intention of dismantling them to learn the technology…印度又鬧笑話！花了10億美元買了中國8台盾構機，原本打算拆開學習技術…
But after taking them apart, they couldn’t reassemble them and had to turn to China for help! According to the contract, China Railway was supposed to send engineers to India for assembly and debugging, but India, using “security” as an excuse, barred the Chinese engineers from the site. They were determined to dismantle the machines themselves, hoping to master the technology through imitation and eventually produce their own replicas.
However, the Indians were dumbfounded upon disassembly: inside were密密麻麻 over 8,000 sensors, 2,000 special blades, and tens of thousands of precision components scattered all over the floor. Three months later, they still hadn’t figured out where the main bearing should go.
Piyush Goyal, the official in charge of India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry, initially blamed the poor quality of Chinese components. But after British experts inspected them, every single part was confirmed to be up to standard, leaving India publicly embarrassed. This incident also made it clear to everyone the gap between Chinese and Indian industrial capabilities—it’s not that China did anything underhanded, but rather that India’s current industrial base simply can’t handle such high-end equipment. India’s attempt to cut corners this time was utterly absurd; they didn’t even understand what level of equipment a tunnel boring machine is before daring to dismantle it.
Each of these machines weighs thousands of tons and integrates over a hundred systems, including mechanical, hydraulic, electrical control, and software systems, functioning like a “mobile underground factory.” A single 12-meter-diameter tunnel boring machine includes five core systems, such as the main drive, cutterhead cutting, and segment assembly, each requiring fine-tuning of thousands of parameters. The precision of the main bearing must reach 0.01 millimeters, finer than a human hair, while the leakage rate of hydraulic components must be less than one in ten billion—a level of precision even many Western countries struggle to achieve.
Indian engineers, armed with Chinese manuals, couldn’t even identify all the special blades on the cutterhead. These blades are made of specialty steel with extreme hardness and wear resistance 50 times that of ordinary steel. India’s best steel producer, Tata Steel, can’t even figure out the formula for this steel, let alone understand how to install the blades to adapt to different soil conditions. Ridiculously, after failing to reassemble the first machine, they thought they hadn’t disassembled it carefully enough and proceeded to dismantle a second one for comparison. In the process, they misconnected hydraulic pipelines, burned out sensors, and caused $300 million in damages from broken parts alone, rendering both machines useless.
India’s actions were driven by the frenzy of the “Make in India” slogan and an unwillingness to admit that Chinese technology is superior. For years, India has been importing tunnel boring machines from Europe for projects like the Mumbai Coastal Road Tunnel and the Bangalore Metro. German manufacturer Herrenknecht charges $180 million per machine, offers poor after-sales service, and takes three months for repairs, making the costs prohibitively high. Eventually, India had no choice but to turn to China.
China Railway’s tunnel boring machines are not only 30% cheaper but also offer customized solutions based on geological conditions, with an after-sales network covering 33 countries and remote diagnostics available at any time. However, India felt embarrassed about buying Chinese equipment and always wanted to “use your products while stealing your technology.” During the Mumbai Metro Line 3 project, India had already tried to get Chinese engineers to “incidentally teach the technology,” but were refused. This time, they aimed to go straight to imitation under the guise of “independent assembly,” even planning to relabel the machines as “Made in India.” Yet, they couldn’t even manage the most basic assembly.
What India didn’t realize is that the control software of Chinese tunnel boring machines contains tens of thousands of lines of code, including geological adaptation algorithms and tunneling parameter optimizations, which can’t be deciphered through disassembly. Moreover, the system has anti-tampering protection: if unauthorized disassembly is detected, the main program automatically erases data. The lubricating grease for key bearings also requires original factory maintenance, or it becomes ineffective within a day. India’s attempt to learn technology through brute-force disassembly was pure fantasy.
Even more embarrassingly, when Chinese engineers arrived, it took them just five days to assemble and debug all eight machines, ready to start work immediately. What Indian engineers couldn’t accomplish in three months, Chinese experts achieved in days. It’s not that Chinese engineers are miraculous, but rather that they are backed by a complete technological system. Recall the 1990s, when China needed tunnel boring machines for the Xi’an-Ankang Railway, German company Wirth charged 760 million yuan per machine and imposed harsh conditions, even barring Chinese participation in maintenance. Starting in 2002, China invested two decades and hundreds of billions of yuan to achieve breakthroughs across the entire supply chain, from components to complete machines. In 2020, China Railway Equipment launched its 1,000th tunnel boring machine, now holding 70% of the global market share. Even German company Herrenknecht imports components from China.
Behind this lies breakthroughs in Chinese materials: the special steel for the cutterhead was independently developed by Baosteel, capable of withstanding rock impacts. It also reflects advancements in precision manufacturing: the main bearing’s accuracy reaches 0.005 millimeters, ten times higher than India’s machining level. System integration is equally critical—China seamlessly combines mechanical, electronic, and software systems to enable the machines to automatically adjust tunneling speeds based on different geological conditions. India only sees China’s current achievements but ignores the decades of step-by-step problem-solving. Thinking they can imitate technology by disassembling a few machines is utterly naive.
Even more ironically, the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed rail project in India has been halted because China refused to export two tunnel boring machines. China’s Ministry of Commerce explicitly stated that it has the right to review exports for projects in sensitive regions. Now, India is in a panic: without Chinese tunnel boring machines, their infrastructure plans remain on paper, as European and American equipment is both expensive and inefficient, and they lack the capability to produce their own.
👉 In the end, India’s embarrassment stems from “ambition exceeding capability.” Trying to steal technology through petty cleverness, they failed to realize that high-end manufacturing isn’t achieved through disassembly but through decades of R&D and industrial chain accumulation.
👉 Chinese tunnel boring machines went from being monopolized by foreign countries to leading the world through “decades of relentless effort.” India’s attempt to take shortcuts by “dismantling machines” only led to humiliation. Now, India has come to terms with reality: not only have they invited Chinese engineers for long-term on-site assistance, but they’ve also placed additional orders for four more tunnel boring machines. The question is, will they dare to entertain thoughts of “stealing technology” again? Technological barriers can’t be broken by disassembly alone; only steadfast R&D and addressing shortcomings will pave the right path. Resorting to petty cleverness will inevitably lead to setbacks.
American logistic expert report from China: The German government wants to decouple from China. But German companies can’t afford to leave. The economic future is not in US and EU! 影片有中文字幕: 美國物流專家在中國報導, 德國政府意欲與中國脫鉤，然德國企業卻無法承受撤離之重。世界經濟的未來不在美國與歐盟!
Major German companies are accelerating their capital investments and expansions in China.
German policymakers insist that firms instead invest in Europe, where manufacturing industries are being hollowed out by high energy and labor costs, regulation, and collapsing consumer demand.
But German firms cannot afford to leave China. The depth of Chinese supply chains would take years to replace, and at far higher costs.
What’s more, Asia is where almost all the consumer market growth is, with double-digit booms in consumer class populations with disposable incomes.
What is the 28-point peace plan proposed by the U.S. for Ukraine? 美國向烏克蘭提出的 28 點和平計畫是什麼? By Johnson Choi, Nov 24 2025
The U.S. “28-point” peace plan is a draft proposal that came to light in November 2025, aimed at ending (or at least de-escalating) the Russia-Ukraine war. This proposal is quite controversial, as many of its terms are close to Russian demands, with some even seen as requiring very painful concessions from Ukraine. Below are the key contents, criticisms, and reactions.
Main Contents of the 28-Point Plan (Compiled from various media reports):
Reaffirmation of Ukrainian Sovereignty – The plan formally affirms Ukraine’s sovereignty.
Comprehensive Non-Aggression Pact – A non-aggression pact to be signed by Russia, Ukraine, and Europe to address long-standing security ambiguities.
No Further NATO Expansion (Including No Admission of Ukraine) – The plan stipulates that NATO will not admit Ukraine in the future.
NATO-Russia Dialogue – Establishment of a security dialogue mechanism between NATO and Russia, mediated by the U.S., to reduce tensions.
Security Guarantees for Ukraine – But with multiple conditions attached.
Limitation of Ukrainian Military Size – The Ukrainian military would be capped at 600,000 personnel.
Ukrainian Constitution to Renounce NATO Membership – Ukraine must constitutionally enshrine never joining NATO, and NATO must formally commit not to admit Ukraine.
No Deployment of NATO Troops on Ukrainian Territory.
European Fighter Jets Can Be Deployed in Poland, but Not in Ukraine.
U.S. Security Commitment – The U.S. promises a “decisive, coordinated military response” and reinstatement of sanctions if Russia invades again, but guarantees can be revoked if Ukraine initiates an attack against Russia.
Ukraine Must Hold National Elections Within 100 Days.
Reconstruction Funding Source – Use frozen Russian assets (approximately $100 billion) for Ukraine’s reconstruction.
Distribution of Reconstruction Profits – The U.S. would receive 50% of the profits from reconstruction projects.
Establishment of a U.S.-Russia Joint Investment Fund – Using remaining frozen Russian assets.
Russia’s Reinstatement to the G8 – The plan allows for Russia’s gradual reintegration into major economic organizations.
Creation of a Neutral Buffer Zone – For example, designating parts of the Donetsk region still under Ukrainian control as demilitarized zones.
Constitutional and Governance Reforms – Including anti-corruption reforms and other conditions in exchange for closer EU trade and economic integration.
Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant Under IAEA Supervision, with electricity output shared 50/50 between Russia and Ukraine.
Amnesty for Wartime Actions – Amnesty for actions during the war by all parties (highly controversial).
Exchange and Release of Detainees – Including the return of civilians and children.
Long-term Arms and Nuclear Weapons Restrictions Agreement – Continuation of U.S.-Russia arms control agreements; Ukraine remains non-nuclear.
Guarantee of Ukrainian Commercial Shipping Rights on the Dnieper River – Russia is prohibited from obstructing it.
Cultural and Educational Programs – Promotion of cross-cultural education programs to “eliminate ethnic prejudice.”
U.S.-Russia Economic Cooperation – Including cooperation in AI, mining, and infrastructure.
Russia’s Reintegration into the Global Economy – Gradual lifting of sanctions.
Establishment of a “Peace Commission” – To oversee the implementation of the agreement.
Permanent Neutrality for Ukraine – Formally established in the constitution (echoing the NATO clause).
Comprehensive Security Dialogue Framework – Covering NATO, Russia, and the U.S. to prevent future conflicts.
Main Criticisms and Risks:
· Risk of Territorial Concessions: Many believe this plan forces Ukraine to accept the current territorial status quo under Russian occupation (Crimea, parts of Donbas). · Renunciation of NATO Aspirations: Ukraine is forced to permanently abandon NATO membership, seen as a major long-term security loss. · Military Cap Limit Weakens Defense Capability: A 600,000 troop cap might be insufficient for long-term defense against Russia. · Ambiguity in U.S. Security承诺: The conditional nature of the承诺 and lack of a clear enforcement mechanism. · U.S. Taking 50% of Reconstruction Profits Sparks Criticism: Criticized as “profit-oriented peace.” · Amnesty for War Crimes Highly Controversial: Could hinder accountability for war crimes. · Europe Questions the Plan’s Pro-Russia Bias: Several European leaders stated the plan requires “significant modifications.” · Risk of Russia’s Rapid Reintegration into the International System: Could weaken deterrence against future Russian aggression.
Current Status and Reactions:
· Russia: The Kremlin stated it has not yet engaged in in-depth discussions with the U.S.; · Ukraine: Zelenskyy expressed willingness to “discuss” but has not yet endorsed it; · EU / G7: View this plan as a “basis” but require “major adjustments” before acceptance.
⸻
Why is it so controversial?
· It demands numerous concessions from Ukraine, while Russia’s concessions are fewer. · The issues of NATO and sovereignty touch upon Ukraine’s most core national interests. · It lacks a reliable security guarantee mechanism. · It involves amnesty for Russian war crimes and its rapid return to the international stage.
The Final Chapter of “Glory to Ukraine”? The U.S.-Russia Agreement Exposes the Brutal Reality to the World.
An In-Depth Analysis of the U.S.-Russia “Miami Talks” and the Future of Ukraine
Video Description:
In this makeshift world, no external security commitments are entirely reliable.
Recently, outlets like Axios have disclosed private contacts between the U.S. and Russia regarding the Ukraine issue, along with a circulated 28-point draft ceasefire agreement. This raises a core question: when the scales of interest tilt, can so-called “allies” turn into “toxic assets”?
Based on the latest media reports, this video analyzes the essence of U.S.-Russia relations, the predicament Ukraine faces, and several potential scenarios for future developments from the perspective of realist politics. We aim to strip away the veneer of morality and reveal the coldest calculations of interest in great power games.
The irony of history lies in the fact that people often only see the path that could have cost less bloodshed after paying the highest price.
American logistic expert report from China with Chinese subtitles: China pours money into Africa to further diversify from American farms 影片有中文字幕: 中國向非洲注入資金以進一步減輕對美國農場的依賴
China is aggressively sourcing new supply chains for food, to diversify away from North America, Europe, and Australia.
This is a boon to farmers in Vietnam, and now in Africa as food exports to China are rocketing higher, across even niche agricultural markets.
In another blow to American soybean farmers, China is investing hundreds of millions of dollars to develop soy farms in Angola. Combined with other crops, new Angolan food exports to China will soar to over 500,000 tons per year.
China is also snapping up supply chains for nuts in Africa, using the same methods that have given them virtual monopolies in other foods products, such as chocolate. By dealing directly with African farmers, and paying above-market rates to spur new production, China locks in all the new supply, and cuts out middlemen on Wall Street and in London.
Beijing–Taipei High-Speed Rail to Be Fully Operational by 2035 京台高铁2035年全面通车 跨海段有5套建设方案
Five Construction Plans Proposed for the Cross-Sea Section
The Beijing–Taipei High-Speed Rail (HSR) starts at Beijing South Railway Station and passes through cities such as Tianjin, Jinan, Hefei, and Fuzhou, with its terminus planned at Taipei High-Speed Rail Station. The full length is about 2,200 kilometers. Among these, the Beijing–Fuzhou section has long been in operation, and Pingtan—the closest point to Taiwan—was connected by rail in 2020. The distance from Pingtan to Taipei is about 130 km, and this section has not yet begun construction.
For the 126-km Pingtan–Hsinchu (Taiwan Strait) gap, five construction solutions have been proposed: 1. A cross-sea bridge 2. A subsea tunnel 3. Artificial islands + bridge–tunnel combination 4. Land reclamation through sand-blowing and infill 5. A ferry system
Overall, the bridge–tunnel combination may become the most feasible compromise: drawing inspiration from the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge model, it would use a hybrid layout of “bridges in shallow waters + tunnels in deep waters,” balancing navigation needs with seismic requirements.
Meanwhile, a ferry solution could serve as a transitional “surprise option,” offering the lowest-cost and fastest method of achieving connectivity while buying time for the ultimate long-term construction plan.
There is an authentic Western phrase: “Read the room.” In today’s turbulent and unpredictable international landscape, far too many people fail to see the real intentions behind America’s diplomatic rhetoric, nor can they see through the deeper ambitions hidden behind Japan’s bows.
In this episode, we peel away polished diplomatic language and reconstruct, from the underlying logic, the true calculations of the United States, Japan, and China in this grand geopolitical chessboard of the Asia-Pacific:
🇺🇸 About the United States: Why is America’s core strategy now to “avoid direct involvement”? Does the U.S. truly intend to protect Japan, or is it treating Japan as expendable material to test China’s bottom line? From the withdrawal of the Typhon system to historical reflections of the First Sino-Japanese War, we reveal the pragmatic nature of hegemonic power.
🇯🇵 About Japan: Is Japan really a loyal ally of the United States? By interpreting the “Way of Endurance” from Tokugawa Ieyasu, the video uncovers how Japan’s right wing—much like Ieyasu once endured Toyotomi Hideyoshi—patiently waits for the decline of American hegemony, seeking the ambition of overturning the hierarchy.
🇨🇳 About China: In the face of America and Japan’s strategic traps and cognitive warfare, are we still limiting ourselves? From the historical memory of Taiwan Province to the Ryukyu issue, what kind of ideological awakening and decisive measures do we need?
This is a projection of national destiny, and also a call to revive historical memory. When forbearance is seen as weakness, thunderous action becomes the only form of compassion.
西方有一句地道的說法叫「Read the room」（察言觀色）。在當前波詭雲譎的國際局勢下，太多人看不清美國外交辭令背後的真實意圖，也看不穿日本「鞠躬」背後的深層野心。
