WSJ andmetel on USA saatnud väikese merejalaväe ja erioperatsioonide üksuse Taiwanile, et kohalike välja õpetada. Üksus on kohapeal olnud juba vähemalt 1 aasta.
WSJ: "A US special-operations unit and a contingent of Marines have been secretly operating in Taiwan to train military forces there, part of efforts to shore up the island’s defenses as concern regarding potential Chinese aggression mounts."
About two dozen members of U.S. special-operations and support troops are conducting training for small units of Taiwan’s ground forces, the officials said. The U.S. Marines are working with local maritime forces on small-boat training. The American forces have been operating in Taiwan for at least a year, the officials said.

Hiina president Xi lubab Taiwani rahumeelse ühendamisega edasi tegeleda
Chinese President Xi Jinping vowed on Saturday to realise peaceful "reunification" with Taiwan, though did not directly mention the use of force after a week of tensions with the Chinese-claimed island that sparked international concern.
Speaking at Beijing's Great Hall of the People, Xi said the Chinese people have a "glorious tradition" of opposing separatism.
"Taiwan independence separatism is the biggest obstacle to achieving the reunification of the motherland, and the most serious hidden danger to national rejuvenation," he said on the anniversary of the revolution that overthrew the last imperial dynasty in 1911.
Peaceful "reunification" best meets the overall interests of the Taiwanese people, but China will protect its sovereignty and unity, he added.
"No one should underestimate the Chinese people's staunch determination, firm will, and strong ability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity," Xi said. "The historical task of the complete reunification of the motherland must be fulfilled, and will definitely be fulfilled."
He struck a slightly softer than in July, his last major speech mentioning Taiwan, in which he vowed to "smash" any attempts at formal independence. In 2019, he directly threatened to use force to bring the island under Beijing's control.

Hiina üksused harjutasid rannikudessanti esimest korda alates juulist 2021. Tegu oli brigaadi tasemel õppusega.
This is the third time since late July either PLA Ground Force's 72nd or 73rd Group Army has conducted amphibious landing exercises in the sea area of Fujian Province.
A combined arms brigade attached to #PLA 73rd Group Army recently held multidimentional amphibious landing drills with assault boats, drones and laser engagement systems in a sea area in E China's Fujian Province.

Põhjalik artikkel Forbes-is, kus kummutatakse väide, justkui Hiina oleks pooljuhtide turul domineerivas rollis. Tuleb välja, et et hiinlased pole üldse tegijad.
China, by contrast, currently controls no significant hard-to-replace part of the semiconductor value chain, and is a non-player in all of the important high-value segments. They are the vulnerable ones. Which may make them dangerous.

Tõsi ta on. Suuremad kiibitootjad on valdavalt ikkagi USA-s, Lõuna-Koreas ja Taiwanis. See tehnoloogia on tegelikult ülimalt keerukas ja tehased ning personal nõuavad tohutuid investeeringuid. Isegi kui raha on, siis tänapäevase tehnoloogiaga tehase ehitamine võtab palju aastaid - seda eeldusel, et sa üldse valdad seda tehnoloogiat. Mitte ükski firma ega riik pole nõus neid teadmisi niisama ega isegi raha eest jagama.

#China has built a #USNavy aircraft carrier in the remote desert. This is new, much more sophisticated range than the classic from years ago. Destroyers and targets on rails too. Loads of images from @capellaspace and @Maxar
The Chinese military has built targets in the shape of an American aircraft carrier and other U.S. warships in the Taklamakan desert as part of a new target range complex, according to photos provided to USNI News by satellite imagery company Maxar.
The full-scale outline of a U.S. carrier and at least two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are part of the target range that has been built in the Ruoqiang region in central China. The site is near a former target range China used to test early versions of its so-called carrier killer DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missiles, according to press reports in 2013.
This new range shows that China continues to focus on anti-carrier capabilities, with an emphasis on U.S. Navy warships. Unlike the Iranian Navy’s aircraft carrier-shaped target in the Persian Gulf, the new facility shows signs of a sophisticated instrumented target range.
