這篇提及的是央視節目<軍武零距離>所報導的HQ-17A野戰進程防空系統及遭美方制裁的中國北方工業集團生產之裝載反坦克飛彈的ZBL-09輪式步兵戰車。
"This week, the Global Times reported that the Xinjiang Military Command recently took delivery of China’s latest field air defense missile system. Reportedly, this is the fifth recent acquisition for the command in terms of new weaponry. The new air defense missile system is identified as the HQ-17A field air defense missile system.
In addition, the Xinjiang Military Command is also reported to have taken delivery of and begun operating a new infantry fighting vehicle (IFV), the North Industries Group Corporation (Norinco)-produced ZBL-09 (also called Type 09). The new IFV, which can carry anti-tank guided missiles, took part in a recent military exercise. "

從林芝到背崩的公路完成也令旁邊有三條公路等著蓋的印度提高警覺:
" The 67.22-kilometer-long highway was constructed at a cost of $310 million and took almost seven years to complete, according to Xinhuanet. It cuts the distance between Nyingchi and Baibung from the current 346 kilometers to 180 kilometers, and reduces travel time by eight hours."
"In the pipeline are three major roads, the Arunachal Frontier Highway, the Trans-Arunachal Highway and the Arunachal East-West Corridor. However, work on these highway projects is still at an early stage."

"根據《德國之聲》報導,新加坡國立大學南亞研究所印度軍事專家約西(Yogesh Joshi)表示,對於印度在中印邊境增兵他並不意外,在軍事談判中常見的情況在於,當雙方在試圖達成協議時,他們也必須讓對方知道,他們有意願與資源可以延續衝突。
約西認為,這點對印度來說十分重要,中國解放軍在去年4月及5月曾對邊境發動突襲式行動,讓印度現在沒有被動空間,因為印度不能再失去更多領土,像中印邊境這樣的崎嶇環境,失土很難收復,所以對印度來說,只要派駐夠多軍隊,在未來可能衝突中的選擇也更多。
約西指出,印度戰略方針一向都是盡可能地威懾中國,如果此方針無法奏效,中國就會發動攻勢、奪取領地,因此印度近期這波部隊調動是為了堵住邊境缺口,未來若是中國再度發動攻擊時,印度也能迅速反擊。"
達到廿萬軍員的規模足以引起國際對此區情勢的注意:
"四位熟悉印度边境增军消息的人士告诉彭博社,在过去几个月中,印度已将部队和战斗机中队转移到与中国交界的三个不同地区。其中两人说,总的来说,印度现在大约有20万部队集中在边境地区,比去年增加了40%以上。"
美國開始跨時區大規模軍演後, 中國就把最軟的西邊印度戰線給收了...
[ The agreement on pullback of troops in the Gogra area, which was reached at the 12th round of talks between Corps Commanders of the two sides held on July 31, “ensures that the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in this area will be strictly observed and respected by both sides, and that there is no unilateral change in status quo.” ]

然後跟俄羅斯聯合陸上軍演來壯膽:
“據中俄兩軍聯合發布,這場名為「西部.聯合-2021」的演習,8月上旬將在中國寧夏陸軍青銅峽合同戰術訓練基地舉行,課題為「聯合維護地區安全穩定」。
中俄雙方將成立聯合指揮部,中方參演部隊以西部戰區為主,俄羅斯武裝力量以東部軍區為主,雙方共派出兵力1萬餘人,投入多型飛機、火炮和裝甲裝備,混合編組、合帳籌畫、同台合練,共同核對總和提高部隊聯合偵搜預警、電子資訊攻擊、聯合打擊清剿等能力。”
俄中軍演也算是某種圍堵演練:
[“China’s number one security priority in Afghanistan and central Asia is preventing it from being a recruiting and training ground for the East Turkestan [Islamic] Movement,” he said, referring to the historic Taliban connections with Uyghur militants. “China and Russia’s desire to work together on the same objectives are the perfect rationale for holding such a ground-based exercise.”]
現在俄中改跑去韓國門口軍演:
"國際上一般在軍機進入他國防空識別區前,都會提前向該國提出飛行計畫及進入位置等資訊,據韓國軍方掌握,中俄軍機今天並未進入韓國領空。"
這倆沆瀣一氣給大家看也是夠日本有理由狂增軍費買軍備了:
"俄羅斯衛星通訊社引述俄國國防部新聞處稱,俄羅斯空天軍和中國人民解放軍空軍30日在亞太地區再次進行聯合空中巡邏。俄軍TU-95MC戰略轟炸機和解放軍轟6K轟炸機組成的空中小組在日本海和中國東海水域上方進行了空中巡邏。
通稿稱,俄羅斯飛機首次在聯合空中巡邏中完成在中國機場的降落,而中國飛機則完成了在俄羅斯機場的降落。"
維尼帝要維持訪問布丁哥的行程嗎?
"不少遭國際刑事法院發布逮捕令的對象在逃,但當中沒人比蒲亭更引人側目。其他15名在逃犯嫌中唯一另一位總統是前蘇丹總統巴席爾(Omar al Bashir),他無論在任或下台都成功逃過司法,超過13年。"
需要穩內的布丁兄與需要攘外的維尼弟各取所需:
"All of that makes it likely, analysts said, that the main audience for China’s public-diplomacy campaign is countries in the developing world where it is seeking to win influence and present an alternative to the West’s efforts to back Ukraine."
懇請象圈高手翻譯維尼弟的眨眼暗號內容:

維尼這次出訪明確釋放中國正挑戰全球新霸主寶座的訊號:
"That began to shift as China’s economic and political interests came to span the globe, with infrastructure projects tied to its Belt and Road initiative in Latin America, Africa and Southeast Asia. It has hundreds of billions of dollars of investments and growing diasporas worldwide that must be protected, as well as a voracious appetite for strategic resources abroad."
泰國與新加坡這兩咖算是東協裡難得的左右逢源:
"中國十三日與柬埔寨、寮國、馬來西亞、泰國、越南等東南亞國協(ASEAN)成員國軍隊,在廣東湛江舉行「和平友誼—二○二三」多國聯合演習,這是首次在中國舉行該系列演習。美國之音(VOA)中文網廿日引述USCC報告指出,解放軍利用雙邊和多邊演習,進行以作戰為導向的訓練,可能透過美國盟友和夥伴來提高其戰鬥能力,學習美國的操作戰術和程序,尤其是當解放軍進一步參與多邊演習,和關注人道主義援助與救災(HA/DR)、搜救、海上安全、反恐和打擊海盜等方面的行動中,美國可能會參與其中。
解放軍與泰國的演習最頻繁,也最令人憂心,美國因此拒絕向其出售F-35匿蹤戰機,以免提供給泰國的技術和戰術被分享或曝露給中國。另外,根據泰國和美國空軍的協議,泰國空軍的F-16和F-5戰機被禁止參加與中國的聯合演習。
新加坡則是另一個同時和美中舉行聯合軍演的重要亞太國家。中國和新加坡在二○一九年升級雙邊防務協議後,兩軍互動逐漸增多,今年更重啟因武漢肺炎疫情而擱置的兩場軍演。"
WSJ這篇居然提到兄弟間上世紀的領土爭議也太故意了吧~😆
"Russian protectionism is one reason it doesn’t sell more soybeans to China, according to Chinese academics. The Russian regions that border China are fertile ground for growing soybeans and other staples. Since 2021, Russia has imposed 20% tariffs on soybean exports in what Moscow said was a bid to force investors to build processing plants in Russia. A Russian newspaper recently reported that officials are considering raising the tariff to 50%."
