China won't renounce use of force over Taiwan; Xi visits frontline island
""We are willing to strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the utmost sincerity and endeavour," Chen Binhua, spokesperson for China's Taiwan Affairs Office, told a regular press briefing in Beijing."
""But we will never commit ourselves to renouncing the use of force,""
--- 'Because we are so darn peaceful.'
"That is, however, aimed at the interference of "external forces" and the very small number of Taiwan separatists, not the vast majority of Taiwan's people, Chen said."
--- & you can be sure that in case of a Chinese invasion the PLA will make very sure not to hit innocent civilians. Trust the CCP!
Chinese cyber association calls for review of Intel products sold in China
"While CSAC is an industry group rather than a government body, it has close ties to the Chinese state and the raft of accusations against Intel, published in a long post on its official WeChat group, could trigger a security review from China's powerful cyberspace regulator, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC)."
--- All the USA's fault, of course. Absolutely not a further sign of Chinese decoupling.
China says unidentified foreign company conducted illegal mapping services
"The foreign company, ineligible for geographic surveying and mapping activities in China, "purchased a number of cars and equipped them with high-precision radar, GPS, optical lenses and other gear," read the statement.
In addition to directly instructing the Chinese company to conduct surveying and mapping in many Chinese provinces, the foreign company appointed foreign technicians to give "practical guidance" to mapping staffers with the Chinese firm, enabling the latter to transfer its acquired data overseas, the ministry alleged.
Most of the data the foreign company has collected have been determined to be state secrets, according to the ministry, which said state security organs, together with relevant departments, had carried out joint law enforcement activities."
--- Well, since pretty much everything is a state secret nowadays, it's no wonder that a mapping enterprise collected a lot.
At media summit, China blasts Western coverage of Uyghurs
"China hosted a global media summit in Xinjiang this week, bringing together over 500 participants to discuss artificial intelligence, but also used the event to criticize Western reports about the forced labor of Uyghurs and an ongoing genocide were “fabricated lies.”"
--- But of course. Don't you know that the only goal of AI is to show how great China is & how happy people there are?
"“At present, Xinjiang has a stable society, a prosperous economy, and people of all ethnic groups live and work in peace and contentment, and the development situation continues to improve,”"
--- Contentment should probably read containment.

Wir gönnen uns viel Naivität, die wir uns nicht leisten können
"„Europa kann sicher noch einige Jahre lang gute Geschäfte mit China machen. Aber langfristig darf es keine neuen, zusätzlichen Abhängigkeiten von China riskieren“, sagte Bartsch. „China will westliche Strukturen, die es für ungerecht hält, zerstören. Das richtet sich gegen die USA, aber auch gegen Europa.“"
--- & China hält alles für ungerecht, das ihm keine Vorteile verschafft.
