Evergreen ship "Ever Given" finally moved 17 metres along Suez Canal after five days stuck on the canal! Osama Rabie, Chairman of the Suez Canal Authority (SCA), confirmed that the rudder and thrusters of the Ever Given have resumed operation. The strange driver who had previously exploded the online media by digging soil in the bow of the ship, also tweeted excitedly, "THE SHIP MOVED!! Although just 17 metres this is good indication. The tugboats are all sounding their foghorns in jubilation."

"Thousands of ships are ready" at the mouth of the Suez River, worries about piracy

As of March 26, Evergreen's giant freighter was still blocking the Suez Canal, unable to advance or retreat. Three days have passed since the accident occurred on the 23rd. We have already introduced to you in our previous program that if this huge ship is blocked for one day, it will hinder the flow of goods worth up to 9.5 billion US dollars. This is not always possible. The rescue unit has tried its best to find a way.

The first step is to use a small excavator to plan a little bit. The reason why only such a small excavator is used is because the soil on the shore where the big wheel is stranded is soft and not suitable for heavy machinery operation, so lighter machines have to be used. The excavation is accompanied by the towing boat on the river. I hope that after slowly digging the sand that obstructs the giant wheel, the boat can be removed. However, only one mechanical arm was too inefficient. On the 25th, the rescue unit transferred a sand dredger to cooperate from the river to remove the sand trapped in the bow of the ship.

But as of the 26th, the ship remained motionless. So now, the rescue team has launched the next plan, which is to reduce the weight of the big ship. The first step is to unload the fuel and then the ballast water. If it does not work anymore, the container will be unloaded. However, where the huge ship ran aground, there was no large boom for unloading at all, and heavy helicopters might have to be used. However, this would pose a greater safety risk and require great caution.

At the same time, reducing the weight of a giant ship is also a delicate technical task. If the weight is not properly reduced, the giant ship may capsize. The most terrifying thing is that it may be cut off, so you must be very careful. This weekend, the Suez Canal will still have high tide. If you are lucky, the buoyancy of the high tide may help, but no one can say it will. So far, a conservative estimate of the ship’s escape is still a few weeks away.

As of our writing, the traffic jam on the Suez Canal caused by the huge ship has caused more than 240 ships of all kinds to wait in the north and south of the canal, and more than 300 ships will go to the Suez Canal in the next two weeks. From the pictures taken by satellites, we can see that more and more ships are waiting in line outside the mouth of the Suez River.

We do not rule out that some ships are already considering a detour to the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, because there are some customers who are very urgent to pick up the goods. And it is not just container ships that are stuck here, but also oil tankers, ships carrying bulk cargo, and even at least one Russian warship.

The British "Financial Times" reported that many maritime shipping companies have already turned to the US Navy's "Fifth Fleet" for help because they are worried that pirates will appear in this situation. In particular, if some ships decide to detour around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, they may Encountered with pirates on the way, there have been pirates on the east coast of Africa. In recent years, activities have become more and more. They not only rob goods, but may also kidnap hostages, and the west coast of Africa is also at risk of encountering pirates.

Although those professional pirates are tough, but if countries are willing to send troops to assist freighters, defending against pirates should not be a particularly difficult problem. But in this world, there is a force like "pirates" that always troubles others, harassing and encroaching from time to time, disturbing other countries.

For the first time, 20 shared planes disrupted Taiwan, as Xi inspected Fujian to prepare for war

On March 26, while the cargo ships outside the Suez Canal were worried about pirates, Taiwan’s neighbour, the CCP, dispatched 20 fighters into the air defense identification zone in southern Taiwan, including 10 F-16 fighter jets. 4 A nuclear-powered H-6K bomber was very unusual, and 20 fighters were dispatched in one day. A report from Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense described this as the largest invasion by a Chinese military aircraft, which is more than ever.

Earlier, after Biden took office, on January 23, 8 common planes simultaneously invaded Taiwan’s Southwest Air Defense Identification Zone, which was the largest in history. Soon, 15 military planes were dispatched to disrupt Taiwan on the 24th, breaking the record. Upgrade to 20 planes.

At present, the CCP is facing sanctions and condemnation from many countries in the world, but it has no reflection, and while frantically quibbling, it has repeatedly escalated its external provocative actions. The new round of fighter disturbances is another example of the CCP's provocation and the endurance of the outside world.

On February 1, the CCP also passed a new "Maritime Police Law", authorizing the CCP's Coast Guard to use force when dealing with conflicts with foreign ships in the seas under the jurisdiction of the CCP. This threatens countries such as Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines, and has also caused dissatisfaction among these neighboring countries.

On the day when the CCP's military planes disrupted Taiwan on a large scale, Xi Jinping actually just ended his visit to Fujian. Fujian is facing Taiwan and separated from Taiwan by the water. Xi Jinping went to Fujian to investigate when the outside world was discussing Taiwan's military reunification, and his true motives were curious.

Xi Jinping stayed in Fujian from March 22 to March 25. During the period, he went to Nanping, Sanming, Fuzhou and other places. However, after Xi Jinping left Fujian, the Chinese Communist Party official media only reported on the 26th that Xi Jinping was visiting. When he was in Fuzhou, he visited the Second Mobile Corps of the Fuzhou Armed Police. He asked the local armed police to implement the spirit of the Military Training Conference of the Central Military Commission, focus on "preparing for war," and promote actual combat training.

And recall that in January of this year, Xi Jinping, as the chairman of the Military Commission, issued Order No. 1 of 2021, requiring the whole army to start training and mobilization, focus on preparing for war, and ensure that it is ready to fight at any time.

Xi Jinping shouts out to the Fujian Armed Police to prepare for war. In the current period, it will arouse international vigilance. The "Armed Police" is used by the CCP to maintain stability "internally". If the CCP wants to invade Taiwan, it will not rule out its deployment in order to make it more sounding. Taiwan’s streets and lanes are not carrying out the military, but the "armed police" with the same military capabilities. This looks to the outside world more like handling "internal affairs" rather than external "conquests."

Xi Jinping mentions the theory of "three fusions" and reunification as usual. Military reunification stands by at any time

However, what the CCP currently releases is a kind of smoke bomb. Because the CCP’s official media reported that Xi Jinping inspected the Fujian Armed Police the day before, on the 25th, it was still reporting that Xi Jinping was listening to the work conference report in Fujian, and it was different from "promoting financing with accommodation, promoting financing with benefits, and promoting financing with affection" on the 25th. Wu Tong's "peace reunification" strategy, in which "tong" refers to communication with Taiwan's infrastructure, industry standards, etc., "benefit" refers to tempting Taiwan with benefits, and "sentiment" means to pretend to be Taiwanese. "Benevolent" appearance, fighting psychological warfare.

On the same day, the spokesperson of the Chinese Communist Party, Ren Guoqiang, responded at a press conference to the US Indo-Pacific Commander’s statement that the Chinese Communists would invade Taiwan within six years. He said that this was the US's exaggeration of the Chinese military's threat, and they opposed it. As for Mei Huilin, an American scholar, in the speech of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission this month, an anonymous communist general was quoted saying that the communist army would invade Taiwan within two years. Cui Lei, a think tank scholar of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said In the Australian publication "East Asia Forum", it seems to have responded deliberately: The CCP cannot achieve reunification by force in a short period of time.

So the current situation is that the CCP has continuously increased its military pressure on Taiwan in actual actions, including the recent wave of additional military planes to harass Taiwan’s airspace, bluffing, and at the same time, it continues to cool down foreign skepticism.

The CCP itself created a "speech cycle", that is, it first caused trouble, and then after foreign countries questioned the tension, it turned back to deny it, and then renewed the incident. When the external situation became tense again, the CCP would cool down, harass and reassure at the same time. Thus disrupting the judgment of the international community.

And history tells us that the CCP’s promise is worthless, so the outside world still needs to calmly judge what its intentions toward Taiwan are, and be prepared in advance and cannot relax. Whether it is "he reunification" or "war reunification", it is inseparable from the word "unification".

I personally feel that the CCP is now taking a two-pronged approach, and the strategy of "peace reunification" continues to advance. "Martial reunification" is waiting for an opportunity, and "wu reunification" does not necessarily capture Taiwan all at once, but may erode it step by step. The previous introduction may be to first capture and occupy Taiwan’s outlying islands, and then use the "Peking Model" to encircle Taiwan’s main island without attacking it, forcing Taiwan to submit.

In this whole process, the attitude of the US military is very important. The "opportunity" we mentioned earlier is mostly because the CCP is preparing for war while waiting for loopholes in the external situation.

The US-China tug-of-war is important in Taiwan. The Xi authorities "declared war" on the world? 

And one thing is very important. The CCP is not completely passive now, and still regards the United States as an insurmountable obstacle. It may not be completely anymore. The CCP is thinking about the decline of the United States and becoming the world leader. It is not that the CCP generals shouted at the two sessions this year. Out of the "Thucydides Trap"? This means that there is bound to be a war between China and the United States. Obviously, this is not the United States seeking war, but the CCP is moving in the direction of succeeding the United States. This plan to replace the United States is not only economic, it seems that it must also include military.

So I always feel that the CCP has placed Taiwan in its entire strategic layout against the United States. At the same time, US military defense is now paying more and more attention to Taiwan. Therefore, the Taiwan Strait issue is no longer an isolated existence, but an important link in the overall strategy of the CCP and the United States. For the United States, the correct strategy is to defend Taiwan as much as possible. For the CCP, Taiwan is a breakthrough.

Finally, I jumped out to say that Taiwan’s own defense is also very important and cannot be relaxed, because from the perspective of Taiwan’s own security, it is Taiwan itself that is most determined to defend Taiwan.

In fact, it's not just the Taiwan Strait issue. Now the CCP is almost declaring war on the world. An online article in mainland China has recently become popular. It introduced that on June 21, 1900, the Empress Dowager Cixi declared war on the world in the name of Emperor Guangxu. Then the Qing government broke with Western countries and launched a unique event in world history. Take the case of one country fighting all countries. This even the German army in the early days of World War II dared not do so.

Some people have analyzed that at that time, Cixi declared war on the world. In fact, it had a lot to do with the internal fighting of the central power at that time. It was Duan Wang Zaiyi of the Qing government who cut off foreign interference in Qing politics and deposed Emperor Guangxu and supported him. His son became the emperor as the emperor.

Looking back at the current situation, although the CCP has not actually declared war with other countries in the world, the rhetoric and stalking of Western countries and enterprises is enough to arouse people's associations with this Cixi past.

Li Keqiang visits Nike factory! Germany Hugo compromises H&M out of Pooh

On the 24th, the CCP turned out its old accounts, incited national sentiment on the Xinjiang issue, and boycotted Western companies such as Nike. The incident has not eased up so far.

But at the height of the turmoil, Premier Li Keqiang of the Chinese Communist Party once again strangely followed Xi's authorities, seeming to sing the opposite. Li Keqiang visited Jiangsu on the 25th and went to the local BASF chemical plant (BASF), a Sino-German joint venture on the 26th. However, the government website of the Chinese Communist Party did not report it, but other media noticed it. Why did the government website not report it?

Because one of the main businesses of this BASF chemical plant is to provide chemical raw materials for brands such as Adi and Nike. At such a sensitive time, Li Keqiang visited this chemical plant, which made people feel weird. Judging by Xi Jinping’s current authority at the top of the party, if this boycott is a policy implemented by the top, Li Keqiang’s doing so is not a wise move in the political struggle.

Excluding the reasons for internal fighting, he appeared in this factory for several reasons: first, under the resistance to the trend, he brought high-level opinions and instructed the new direction of the factory’s future development; second, the CCP boycotted western factories, just Temporarily acting as a show, inciting national sentiment, and diverting attention from the shame of being sanctioned by many countries, in fact, in the future, we will still do business with these Western companies normally. In short, under the CCP system, they are all good actors.

At present, H&M, Nike, Adidas, GAP, Uniqlo, ZARA, New Balance, as well as the luxury brand Burberry, etc., have all been boycotted by the CCP official media. Only a few brands have compromised, and most of them have not yielded to the pressure so far.

Among the companies that compromised is Germany's Hugo Boss, whose Chinese name is Hugo Boss. This fashion company that once designed military uniforms for Germany issued a statement on Sina Weibo on the 25th, stating that it would "continue to purchase and support Xinjiang cotton." By the way, he also said "adhere to the one-China principle, safeguard national sovereignty and complete territorial integrity."

However, people turned up a statement on its official website that it refused to use Xinjiang cotton last year. It hasn't been long since this statement was issued. The words are still in their ears, so why did they give in early. The Global Times of the Communist Party of China immediately followed up and reported Hugo Boss's submission statement.

Correspondingly, I see that netizens are posting a screenshot today, which is H&M's Chinese release. The above is H&M's latest new product: Winnie the Pooh series of clothing. At this sensitive moment, I don't know what to do.

Judging from the current development, the CCP’s criticism of Western companies is essentially a battle of values, and the purpose of this battle is to force Western companies to submit, and thus feed back this pressure to Western governments from the bottom up. It is also indirectly threatening and countering, Western sanctions.

[Mainland China needs to sign a seal agreement to make money, Eason Chan is rumored to end Adi’s contract and face huge penalty]

At the same time, the CCP used its economic interests to instruct artists with influence among the people to participate in political expressions and support Xinjiang Cotton. The hateful and pitiful thing is that these artists are not sober at this moment and earn the devil’s money. The devil wants to buy your soul. . As of the 25th, at least 50 well-known artists from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan have expressed their support for Xinjiang Cotton, and artists who refused to cooperate with the Xinjiang Cotton brand have also announced that they will "discontinue their contract" with related brands.

Hong Kong’s "Apple Daily" once revealed that the General Administration of Film of the Communist Party of China issued a notice in April 2020 to require major domestic platforms and film companies to try not to use artists with incorrect political stances. Artists who want to develop in the mainland must sign a copy. The "10-year guarantee of correct thinking" is a political trial clause, and you will lose money if you breach the contract.

However, these artists expressed their support for Xinjiang Cotton, cutting endorsement brands, there is no need to pay liquidated damages with the CCP, but if you cut endorsements casually, then related brands may have to ask you for liquidated damages in turn. For example, the artist Eason Chan announced the termination of his contract with Adidas, but he is the global spokesperson for Adidas and signed a "lifetime contract". The penalty may exceed 10 million yuan. For Xinjiang Cotton, Eason Chan is also fighting for it. This is just an example. The agreement does not mean that it can be torn up unilaterally.

"Apple Daily" quoted images taken by related citizens, showing that Eason Chan was sitting alone in the car in a daze on the evening of the 25th after he announced that he had terminated his contract with Adidas. I don’t know if I’m thinking about terminating the contract like this. Is it too confused.

And if this tide of boycott continues to develop, more and more absurd sights will appear.

Pink pressures the National Football Team to release Nike from the next round of boycotting Apple and Tesla? 

For example, the domestic little pink requires the Chinese Communist Party’s football team and basketball team to also terminate their contract with their sponsor Nike. If they do not terminate the contract, they are not patriotic. Nike has a 10-year contract with the Chinese Communist Party’s Football Association, which has not yet expired. The amount of sponsorship is also 3 billion yuan.

In Dalian, a subway passenger wore Nike shoes. As a result, a little pink stepped forward to insult the traitor. It is said that there were also fights, assaulters and those who were beaten, because someone wore a pair of Nike shoes on their feet. These Chinese people don't want to think about it. The outside world boycotts Xinjiang cotton because the Communist Party persecutes your compatriots, and the sanctions are also high-ranking officials of the Communist Party. What coaxes are you following and who are they defending?

In addition, the absurd development also includes that if this development continues, it may not only be affected by fashion brands. Someone turned to a report by Bloomberg on March 17 that Apple of the United States announced that it would cut off a Chinese supplier suspected of slave labor in Xinjiang. It seems that if this continues, the CCP Elementary School Pink is going to boycott Apple, or is it going to smash the Apple mobile phones and Apple computers that they have bought.

These sanctions are all centered on Xinjiang, while in mainland China, there are other Western companies facing the fate of being "boycotted." For example, for Tesla Motors in the United States, Xie Jinhe, chairman of Taiwan’s financial media, believes that the CCP’s military has recently banned Tesla from entering military camps and military compound. Regardless, these signs indicate that the Chinese Communist Party intends to develop its own electric vehicles as the main state, and Tesla may face sweeping out.

Similarly, the Chinese authorities will use retaliatory sanctions to directly "boycott" Western products. For example, on the 26th, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce decided to impose high tariffs on Australian wine.

The CCP claims to be a "model" and retaliates against the former director of the United Kingdom and the United States CDC, then reveal the inside story

And on the same day, after the Chinese Communist Party retaliated against EU officials and entities, it also attacked Britain, which participated in Xinjiang sanctions, and announced that it would impose sanctions on nine British officials and four organizations.

While using rogue means to counter and retaliate against the West, Hua Chunying, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Communist Party, also told the international media on the 26th that the Chinese Communist Party is a "model student" in terms of abiding by international rules, and its shamelessness is staggering. Continuing to deny the CCP’s atrocities in Xinjiang, all the methods are to make the international community’s truthful accusations against the CCP disappear from the earth. Such a "rogue" and "liar" approach actually responds to the CCP in the world , Still too light.

The CCP’s new accounts have not yet been settled, and the old accounts have not been cleared. Robert Redfield, the former director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the Trump administration, raised heavy accusations in a recent interview and pointed to the inside story of the CCP virus outbreak that the CCP tried to cover up.

He said conservatively that according to his knowledge, the virus most likely came from the CCP laboratory in Wuhan and “escaped” from there. It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it. Scientists will eventually know about it, and the virus research laboratory staff were caught by the virus. It is not uncommon to be infected. He said that he believes that the virus began to spread in Wuhan in September or October 2019, and he does not believe that this virus will be directly transmitted to humans by bats.

This is the description of an authoritative medical person in the United States, and it is consistent with what the Secretary of State of the Trump administration Pompeo said. After Trump stepped down, the tiger is gone, and the monkey is the king. The CCP’s current performance is getting more and more excessive.

The Trump administration said in an interview earlier that if Yang Jiechi and his government scolded the United States during the negotiations with the US-China summit last week, now he has imposed new tariffs on the CCP and may also impose new sanctions on CCP officials. Trump has always said and done it. I believe that this is not just what he is talking about. Who and what the CCP is afraid of is clear here.

And Biden, even though he named the CCP and made some criticisms at the first press conference on the 25th, after all, he is still playing tricks and saying that he does not seek to confront the CCP and expects more "investment" from the CCP. . At this press conference, the big multimedia reporter was shooting from the front, and only an independent photographer was allowed to shoot the press conference from the side, but he accidentally captured the secret.

It turns out that when Biden was at the press conference, he held a roster in his hand, marked with the names of the reporters’ photos, and had handwritten serial numbers on them. Therefore, it was generally suspected that Biden’s White House had decided which reporters to accept questions and everything. They have all been directed. This is almost unprecedented in the history of the US government.

Mr. Wu, a Chinese from Myanmar: "A few days ago, our house was hit by a bullet. They shot into the air, but he could shoot up to 500 meters away, so he shot quite far, and it hit that day. The glass in our house just hit the wall and fell off, so there are some villages in Mandalay. If there are relatives in the villages, they start to move out."

Mr. Wu, a Chinese in Myanmar, said that there are several guerrillas in Myanmar, and they declared that they will resist the military government's coup.

Evergreen Shipping's long-sending vessel stranded on the Suez Canal and is still waiting to get out of trouble. It is initially estimated that the blocked cargo trade will lose about US$400 million per hour. Today (27th) it was reported that the chimney of another container ship of Evergreen was hit and deformed in Taipei Port, and it was even more madly rumored on Weibo in mainland China that a photo of a truck carrying Evergreen containers had an accident, causing the truck to go sideways. In the middle of the expressway, there was a large traffic jam in the area. This incident has not been confirmed.

Comprehensive media report. Ever Given container ship ran aground on the Suez Canal on the 23rd, causing a major canal blockade. In the morning, it was reported that another container ship, EVER Gentle (Chang Ya), was accidentally hit in Taipei Port. The impact caused the chimney to deform.

The Port of Taipei stated that when Changya Ships loading and unloading containers, the crane will move according to the position of the containers. Inadvertently hitting the chimney during the process will cause dents, which will not affect the navigation and other ships' entry and exit. After the loading and unloading, the ship was already at 2 pm Depart from Taipei Port at about a few hours and drive to the next stop.

The Port Authority stated that it was initially judged that the cause of the accident was the error of the operator of the bridge crane and did not see the cause of the collision. However, the detailed reason is still subject to follow-up investigation. Generally speaking, a conclusion will be reached as soon as one month.

A photo was also circulated on Weibo in mainland China today. It was an accident involving a truck carrying an Evergreen container, which caused the container truck to hit the middle of the expressway directly, causing a large traffic jam in the local area.

The video on the monitor showed that the incident occurred at about 9:55 am on the 27th. The location should be on the Nanjing section of the Changchun-Shenzhen Expressway (code G25). A truck with a red front was carrying a green container "EVERGREEN", which was suspected of crashing. After arriving at the small passenger car on the side, the entire truck was parked sideways on the highway, occupying about 2.5 lines, causing serious obstruction to the rear.

The authenticity of this incident is still to be determined.

However, some netizens have ridiculed and said that Evergreen is "changing the card to the sea to change the card to the land", but there are also comments that the car accident has nothing to do with Evergreen at all, it is a problem of driving itself. Another netizen said: Has Evergreen been stabbed recently....
