Industrial metals markets are melting down, as soaring demand from defense contractors and export bans from China result in skyrocketing prices.
Tunsten is a superhard, superdense material vital in the production of munitions, ballistics, and armor. It is also in high demand in mining and manufacturing.
China controls the world's supply of tungsten, and also has half of the world's proven reserves. Dual-use export bans on the metal have restricted its sale solely to civilian users of the metal, at the same time weapons stockpiles are drained for the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine.

The Curious Case of Professor Jiang: How the Internet Manufactured a Geopolitical Oracle. | Hidden AmuraKa
This video takes a closer look at Professor Jiang Xueqin and the structure behind his rise.
On the surface, his story is straightforward: a #Yale graduate, an educator, a commentator who built an audience through sharp, accessible explanations of geopolitics. But when you trace the full timeline, from his early movement through Yale–#China institutional corridors, to his detention and deportation under suspicion of espionage, to his re-entry into elite Chinese schools, and finally to his sudden emergence as a mass-media figure, the sequence begins to feel less ordinary.
This isn’t a hit piece, and it isn’t blind praise. It’s an attempt to map the pattern.
The video walks through Jiang’s early writings, his role in education reform, his time in Afghanistan, and the long gap before his reappearance online.

BPFdoor in Telecom Networks: Sleeper Cells in the backbone | Rapid 7 Labs
#China #Network #Cellular #BPFdoor #RedMenshen
A months-long investigation by Rapid7 Labs has uncovered evidence of an advanced China-nexus threat actor, Red Menshen, placing some of the stealthiest digital sleeper cells the team has ever seen in telecommunications networks. The goal of these campaigns is to carry out high-level espionage, including against government networks.
Telecommunications networks are the central nervous system of the digital world. They carry government communications, coordinate critical industries, and underpin the digital identities of billions of people. When these networks are compromised, the consequences extend far beyond a single provider or region. That level of access is, and should be, a national concern as it compromises not just one company or organization, but the communications of entire populations.#China #Network #Cellular #BPFdoor #RedMenshen

North Korea: Silence is a Signal - by Dr Pippa
As of late April 2026, the construction around the top of North Korea has become a fully integrated, high-capacity logistics mesh designed to keep #Pyongyang both functional and tethered. It looks like preparation for integrating North #Korea into China’s economy.
This makes sense because North Korea has the last large pool of cheap labor on Earth. This strategy will also give China greater access to the Pacific. We can think of North Korea as an island, even though it is really a very large peninsula (thus proving my point that islands and peninsulas are the most important places now. But the depth of the construction suggests that China seeks to make it not only an industrial hub but also a critical element of its geostrategic presence.
#China wants direct access to the #Pacific—specifically the Sea of #Japan (#EastSea) Their efforts reveal that they, too, understand what I’ve called “Archipelagic” strategy. See: The Archipelagic Century

The #US, which has firmly held the reins of hegemony since 1945, finds itself unable to maintain its interpretation of its hegemonic status—one not justified by any mandate—in a peaceful manner through fair competition with the rest of the world. The current herald of the #hegemon, who came to power with promises of peace, is employing means that until recently would have been—and still should be—considered unacceptable and despicable.
The deep state thus appears to have hoisted the right man onto the throne in Washington at the right time. A man whose mind is so dominated by his pathological narcissism that he is incapable of self-reflection. It began with the blackmailing of competitors (#China) and allies (Europe[#EU]) through #tariffs intended to compensate for the US’s lack of competitiveness; he then sought to extort an entire country (#Greenland) from Europe.
He then kidnapped President #Maduro in #Venezuela to gain access to the world’s largest proven #oil reserves, only to ultimately join forces with the psychopaths in Tel Aviv in an attack on a civilization [#Iran]that has not attacked any other country for longer than the US has existed as a nation

US Secretary of State Marco #Rubio swapped his usual suit for a grey Nike tracksuit aboard #AirForceOne during a trip to #China, instantly setting social media alight.
The outfit was quickly compared online to the now-viral “#Maduro arrest look” after users noticed its resemblance to the tracksuit worn by Nicolas Maduro during his capture earlier this year.
The image was shared on X by White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, who wrote: “Secretary Rubio rocking the Nike Tech ‘#Venezuela’ on Air Force One!”

DJT arrival in Beijing,
Apparently, President Xi Jinping had more important things to do than to wait for Pedo DJT to arrive at the airport.
#MAGA was said to be in spin mode heralding the red carpet treatment, but the visit was already off to a rocky start. Instead of a presidential welcome, Trump was greeted by the US Ambassador to China, #Xi's vice president, China's ambassador to Washington, and an executive vice minister of foreign affairs.

🇺🇸🇨🇳Tighten the Belt and Cut the Roads
January 1, 2024 by Captain Tom Clarity, U.S. Navy
Senior U.S. political and military leaders are nearly unanimous in expecting that the People’s Republic of China—or, more accurately, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—will set both the timing and the tempo for the onset of the United States/CCP conflict. It seems probable the CCP agrees. Far more significant is that the belligerents’ criteria for war termination are starkly at odds.

Trump’s Cuba blockade is slow #genocide
Ecuadorian journalist Esteban Carrillo from the Cradle tore into #US war on #Cuba, warning that Trump’s blockade has pushed the island into a deepening humanitarian catastrophe.
“We saw the infant mortality rate spike since the start of Donald Trump’s blockade,” Carrillo said.
Not just gas. Not just buses. Not just blackouts.
A whole population is being strangled — then Washington shows up offering “aid” for the crisis it created.
Carrillo said this is the same imperial playbook across Latin America: crush those who refuse to obey, redraw alliances, and drive out foreign influence that Washington doesn’t control.
“Everything… in Latin America [is] with the aim of persecuting those who oppose the imperialist project.”
Trump smiles with Xi, talks friendship — then runs back to the #MonroeDoctrine to choke #China out of #LatinAmerica.

Arnaud Bertrand argued that the US had tried to literally re‑colonize part of the Philippines under the so‑called Pax Silica initiative, led by ex‑Palantir official Jacob Helberg
The US sought to carve out 4,000 acres of Philippine territory to be governed under US common law with diplomatic immunity. Bertrand compared this to the French and British concessions in China during the century of humiliation.
However, the Philippine government rejected the proposal. Bertrand noted that while the most colonial demand was dropped, Pax Silica remained structurally neocolonial: countries supply cheap labor and raw materials, align with #US regulations, cut ties with #China, and get assembly jobs in return.

Igor Strelkov on Putin's Speech at the Valdai Forum
I would like to comment on the President's speech. I would like to understand why the events unfolding cause the President only "concern" and a desire to watch as drones and missiles are guided from enemy satellites to our industrial enterprises and cities located deep behind the front lines. Why only concern, and why only now? Didn't this cause concern before? And what will happen besides concern?
I remember Lavrov's "deep concern" during the events of 2014, when so-called Ukrainian troops shelled Donetsk and Lugansk. It lasted for months. Now it has been going on for years.
Perhaps it's time to move beyond "concern" and towards something else?
Should we wait for trilateral negotiations between Russia, China, and the United States, where we will be treated as the weaker party and presented with an ultimatum by two powerful states that have come to an agreement, ignoring our opinion? How do we plan to end the war? Are we going to lose it, so that others will decide what our borders will be and who will be on our territory?
In that case, yes, we can gather not only a trilateral conference, but a ten-sided, twenty-sided one. And, by the way, this will not stop the war, because there is also a united Europe that will not stop supporting the Ukrainian Armed Forces, even if we manage to reach agreements with both the United States and China.
Our President, our Supreme Commander-in-Chief, still does not set the task of winning the war. He forgot about this task since the spring of 2022. And without victory, there will be nothing.
There will be no settlement, no compromise. Nothing. Without victory, there will be defeat.
