After Macau's "little gambling king" Zhou Zhuohua, another Chinese gambling tycoon, She Zhijiang, was arrested. She Zhijiang once held many identities such as the leader of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, and during Xi Jinping's visit to the Philippines, She also appeared at the "welcome dinner".

Bangkok Post reported on 13 August 2022 that a controversial businessman from mainland China was arrested last Wednesday (10 August), the person named "She Zhijiang", 40 years old and also known as She Lunkai. He was arrested on suspicion of operating an illegal online casino.

The Thai police said that after She Zhijiang was detained, his Thai visa was cancelled by the Immigration Bureau on the evening of the 10th, and he is currently awaiting an application for his extradition to CCP China.

The report pointed out that She Zhijiang has been wanted by Beijing authorities since 2012. According to the red notice issued by Interpol in May 2021 obtained by AFP, She Zhijiang was involved in the period from January 2018 to 2021. In February, he led a gangster group and registered a company with others to research and develop online gambling platforms.

According to the red notice, the platform set up a number of gambling websites and recruited more than 330,000 gamblers to register as members. "She Zhijiang received a total of 150 million yuan (about 22 million US dollars) of illegal income, which was later remitted abroad."

According to reports, She Zhijiang has multiple identities. He not only serves as the chairman of the board of directors of Asia Pacific International Holdings Group, but also has been hailed as an overseas Chinese leader in Southeast Asia, and served as the executive vice president of the China Overseas Chinese Business Association.

According to the planning documents, Asia Pacific New City is located in the Shuigou Valley of Kayin State, which borders Myanmar and Thailand, covering an area of ​​180,000 mu.

It is worth noting that after the arrest of Zhou Zhuohua, the "little gambling king" in Macau, the CCP's official media once made a lot of hype, but after the arrest of She Zhijiang, who is also a gambling tycoon, the CCP official has not responded. Apart from reports from Hong Kong and Taiwan media, mainland media and Weibo hot searches have so far failed to find relevant news.

Online beauty of Taiwan was violated by 7 people! Inside the anti-fraud organization "Refused to Save Taiwanese": Forced to sing CCP China national anthem

Image : Online beauty shouted bitterly, "I watched the sale like a cat and dog."

Many Taiwanese did not give up and desperately went to Cambodia for gold. Even the non-profit organization "Global Anti-Fraud Organization" (GASO) could not bear to announce that they refused to rescue Taiwanese and Malaysians who went to Cambodia. In this regard, after being deceived by Cambodia, an online beauty Pippi was continuously electrocuted, violated and humiliated by the group. She also revealed the truth about the global anti-fraud organization on IG, and bluntly said that the mainlanders who guaranteed her came out, constantly forcing her to sing the mainland national anthem.

The Global Anti-Scam Organization (GASO) announced on Facebook on 6 August 2022 that "this organization refuses to accept Taiwanese and Malaysians who travel to Cambodia from August 3rd", and explained that Taiwan has been working very hard to promote publicity recently. If Taiwanese go to Cambodia, they still hold "I Let's try", which is honestly an insult to the country and a waste of resources, "Seriously...why are we helping these people?"

GASO further bombarded the victims. In many cases, the organization has to pay for itself to help people get through the difficulties. About 60 people have been rescued so far, "but no one said thank you." . Due to the controversy surrounding the post, the post has now been deleted.

Pippi, an online beauty who fled back to Taiwan from Cambodia, had previously exposed her bloody experience on IG. She bluntly said that she had been resold 4 times in Cambodia. Because she refused to do scam work, she was violated by 7 people during the period, although she had successfully escaped back to Taiwan, the trauma she has suffered is hard to erase, "I'm not as strong as you think", "I'm like a cat and a dog watching being bought and sold."

Regarding the remarks of the global anti-fraud organization "refusing to accept Taiwanese who went to Cambodia", "but no one said thank you", Pippi also talked about this on IG, and retorted that "whatever saves people just ignores the other party.” She also made public her previous experience, and bluntly said that the mainlanders who sponsored her came out with strong political overtones, “saying that Taiwan belongs to the mainland, forcing me to sing the national anthem of the mainland.”

Pippi reluctantly said, "It's not that I don't thank you, it's that when I talk about Taiwan independence, they scold me like crazy and swear at the country and kick the group." She also emphasized that those who really do things are low-key people, such as YouTuber Bump, GASO. The Malaysians of the anti-fraud organization did not want to expose the silent rescue, and finally said bluntly, "I said that I wanted to save, but in fact, I didn't even have rescue help, and I didn't feel ungrateful. If I was rescued, how could I forget to say something?! "

Not News" revealed that Chen Qili, the first leader of the Zhulian Gang, made a fortune in Cambodia in the early days and had a certain huge influence in Cambodia. This time, "White Wolf" Zhang Anle also joined the rescue. "With the help of two major people, more than 20 Taiwanese were rescued from Cambodia.

 "The power belongs to the power, and you still have to pay to save people."

Recently, there have been repeated rumours of the "Cambodia gold" fraud case. In the name of overseas high-paying jobs, the Human Snake Group deceives people into local illegal activities, including prostitution, fraud or drug sales. Those who do not obey will face torture like hell, and even worse, live organ harvesting. The above brutal acts alone caused social uproar. In fact, "Southeast Asia's final station" is in Myanmar, and even more brutal acts were exposed.

Since Taiwanese people have been deceived into Cambodia the most, most people are already quite uncomfortable seeing the shocking news. Unexpectedly, senior media person Wang Ruide revealed on the program "Breaking News County Line" that there are now 6 countries suspected of secretly attacking the head area of ​​Cambodia's Westport, as well as the KK Park in Myanmar, which has the "final station in Southeast Asia". However, it is suspected that the group is considering relocating its position, but the relocation will consume a lot of money and manpower, so it will expand the scale of fraud and sell "pig" organs to make money.

Regarding the extreme brutality of the KK Park in Myanmar, the "Final Station in Southeast Asia", SAMMY, a member of the Global Anti-Fraud Organization (GASO), said that although the KK Park is not the largest, it is the most brutal place in all the parks, because there are organ trafficking inside itself. The pipeline does not care about the lives of the hostages at all, and because it belongs to the rebel area, even the government cannot control it, so it is called "the destination of resale in Southeast Asia" by the outside world.

 It is understood that it is not easy to rescue the hostages from Cambodia. Unexpectedly, SAMMY said frankly, "Basically, it is too complicated for the organization to get in." If the hostages want to escape, they can only pay the ransom, the amount of money. It ranges from 20,000 to 40,000 U.S. Dollars (about 600,000 to 1.2 million NTD). But now there is a problem. Now the KK Park is in urgent need of funds to find the next place, so the "meat ticket" will not be released easily at all, and in the end, it is feared that both people and money will be lost.

However, with the cooperation of the police from Taiwan and Thailand, nine victims have returned to Taiwan safely.

 Image : Due to the Republic of China's diplomatic situation, fighting cross-border crimes is not an easy task. (Picture / TVBS data screen) 

 According to the "China Times News Network" report, the police said in response to the Cambodian fraud case that due to the Republic of China (Taiwan)'s special diplomatic situation, it is not easy to crack down on cross-border crimes. In addition, Taiwan does not have a representative office in Cambodia, and it will be more difficult to rescue. Therefore, they call on the government to funding or entrust NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) to help save people is a more practical and feasible approach.

 In fact, Tzu Chi has a deep relationship with Cambodia and has rich experience in international emergency rescue. Recently, with the assistance of local religious groups, it successfully rescued 2 Taiwanese victims. As for how Cambodian religious groups negotiated with the scam group to release the victims, nobody knows the person but aside from this, the police still admire the Buddhist group for rescuing the victim from the brutal swindle.

There are frequent incidents of Chinese people from Taiwan being lured to Cambodia. Taipei Mayor Ko Wenzhe posted on Facebook at night of 15 August 2022, criticizing the Tsai government, "If everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, who wants to take the risk and go to another country? If it is not desperate, how can they want to go to Cambodia for gold rush?" 

 Ko Wenzhe posted on Facebook last night, criticizing the Tsai government for saying that the domestic economy is thriving but the pain index continues to rise. He posted, "I hope President Tsai Ing-wen can face up to the plight of the people. If everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, who wants to risk going abroad? If you are not desperate, why would you want to go to Cambodia to pan for gold?"

Image : Ko Wenzhe commented on Cambodian scams on Facebook last night. (Photo taken from Ko Wenzhe’s Facebook) 

 Ko Wenzhe was asked about this during an interview this morning. He said that it is actually best to prevent this kind of thing in Cambodia. Since it has already happened, in fact, he should calm down and see how to solve it. He was unhappy when he saw it yesterday. He asked, "How could it be that the Commissioner of Police came to the airport and watched the police raise a placard? When encountering problems, we need to deal with them. How can the solution proposed by the state look like this? It's too funny to say that you're angry, it's better to be silent. How could the country handle this problem like this?"

 The media asked, if Ko Wenzhe did it, what should the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Labour do? In this regard, Ko Wenzhe said that every time you encounter a problem, you should list all the problems one by one, and write a solution for each problem. At least, even if there is no foreign library, there will always be a representative office. The rescue work is short, medium and long-term, and emergency rescue matters are how to do it, how to deal with it in the long run, "But when I saw the sign at the airport, I thought it was really funny!"

 The media asked, Tzu Chi and the underworld saved people, but the Taiwan government couldn't? In this regard, Ke Wenzhe said, "I'm embarrassed to say, Tzu Chi has already bought the vaccine, why can't the Taiwan government buy the vaccine?"

 Taiwanese were lured to Cambodia by high salaries but were tortured continuously, and even terrorist incidents of live organ harvesting have been reported frequently. In this regard, Taipei Mayor Ko Wenzhe also criticized, "The government said that the domestic economy is thriving, but the pain index is constantly rising." He hopes that President Tsai Ing-wen can face up to the plight of the people. He said, "If everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, who wants to take the risk of going abroad? If not desperate, why would you want to go to Cambodia to pan for gold?”

 Ko Wenzhe posted on Facebook that Taiwanese were tricked into working in Cambodia and ended up being abused, sexually assaulted, and sold blood. "This is the 'Happy Taiwan' that the government claims has the best economic performance and rising basic wages? When people are imprisoned, life is threatened, this government can only ask the police to hold a placard at the airport and broadcast an anti-fraud video?”

 Ko Wenzhe mentioned that in order to escort the government, some people sneered and ridiculed all kinds of people on the Internet, thinking that those who would be deceived to Cambodia are stupid and greedy. If  they were desperate, why would they want to go to Cambodia to pan for gold?” 

 Image : Ko Wenzhe called on Tsai Ing-wen to face up to the plight of the people. (Photo/Photo taken from Ko Wenzhe's Facebook) 

 Ko Wenzhe pointed out that the government announced that the average salary of Chinese people in the first half of the year was 62,000. President Tsai said that after she took office, she raised the basic salary 6 times, and the domestic economy was thriving. It also devoured the limited salary increase.

 Nowadays, scams are common in Cambodia. Taiwanese are sold abroad, ransomed and violated. They can only rely on local Taiwanese businessmen and Taiwanese to pay the ransom. Until the number of victims increases and the paper can no longer cover the fire, the Executive Yuan held an inter-ministerial project meeting, saying that a rescue team would be set up, but the result was a media notice to Taojipai for an inspection by the Commissioner of Police to see how the police held up warning signs. How could this government be like this?

Regarding the rescue plan, Ko Wenzhe believes that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must order the neighboring embassies to carry out rescue efforts, the Police Administration should immediately start cross-border cooperation to combat overseas human trafficking, and the Ministry of Labour should strictly investigate illegal groups. "Please President Tsai Ing-wen face up to the plight of the people's lives, govern pragmatically, protect the people, and don't let your citizens become fish under the knife of a fraudulent group."

 There have been frequent scams in Cambodia recently. Many Taiwanese are tempted by "high-paying, low-entry" jobs. As soon as they fly to the local area, their mobile phones and passports are seized, and they are finally reduced to "meat tickets" and are slaughtered by others. In this regard, Gao Renhe, a retired senior criminal policeman, shared on the show a few days ago that he had a friend who also went to Cambodia to engage in gaming work. In the end, he successfully returned to Taiwan with one trick and defrauded the scammers.

 It is understood that the current fraudulent methods are to lure young people to work in Cambodia by recruiting talents on the Internet, friends and relatives and other acquaintances through "high salary, low threshold" job information. After arriving at the local area, the Human Snake Group will use various reasons to detain the victim's mobile phone and passport, and let them wear headgears and travel in special cars to the workplace. They are more likely to be imprisoned and abused, become imprisoned and slaughtered, or they will be treated as "" Meat stamps,” and they asked their families in Taiwan to pay a ransom before releasing them.

 In this regard, Gao Renhe revealed in the program "News Digging Wow" a few days ago that one of his friends also said that he was going to Cambodia, but he flew back every two days. It turned out that it was his friend's father who knew that he was applying for a job and was going to Cambodia to engage in gaming, so he was on guard and reminded his son to lodge his passport loss first, and asked him to bring two passports with him.

 When his son goes through customs, he uses his new passport to clear customs. When he is asked to hand over his passport, he will hand over his old passport. As soon as he landed, his friend noticed that something was wrong. Fortunately, he still had a new passport that he could actually use. He took his passport back to Taiwan the next day.

 However, according to Article 31 of the "Passport Regulations", if the passport is handed over to another person or falsely reported to be lost for others to use in a false name, the person may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than 5 years, short-term detention, or a fine of not more than NT$500,000. If people choose to do this at a critical moment, they should also be careful not to violate the law.

 Flying to Cambodia "It's not just stupid and greedy" Interpol: 3 types of people are easy to be deceived

 Editor : Yan Minxiang / https://news.tvbs.com.tw/local/1878048

There are frequent cases of Chinese people going to Cambodia for work and being deceived. Many Chinese people have been violently beaten after going abroad, and some women have been sexually assaulted. In the worst cases, they even lost their lives, which has become a problem that the government attaches great importance to. A number of Chinese people visited the service area; Li Yangji, chief of the International Criminal Police Section of the Criminal Bureau, issued a document on 14 August 2022 saying that there are "three types of people" who are easy to be deceived, and called on the public to pay more attention.

 Li Yangji pointed out that this human trafficking case, in which Chinese people were deceived to go abroad as "pigs", was a large-scale case that he had never seen in the more than 20 years of his criminal work. According to his observation, he would really go to Cambodia to work and furthermore people who are defrauded are usually divided into three categories. The first is the victims of human trafficking who have been deceived. The second category is people who know in advance that they are going to participate in the crime. The third category is people who normally go to work in Cambodia.

 Li Yangji explained that the six plumbers who were stopped last month were all actually working on the construction site, and they were all tricked into going to Cambodia. He appealed to the outside world to stop condemning the victims because not every victim knew how to commit fraud.

 Li Yangji emphasized that the biggest purpose of launching the large-scale household census this time is to achieve three effects. The first is to discover hidden victims. Many victims are afraid to ask their families for help in Cambodia, because the group will violently report the victims and warn other victims against asking for help from outside, and the ground area only needs to give a reminder to the visiting family members. If it finds that there are dangers for people who have left the country, it will be introduced into the existing reporting process.

 The second is to hope that through household interviews, part of the intimidation effect can be achieved on those who really want to go out and do bad things. As for whether it is possible to find criminal information, it will be a matter of chance. Finally, if a normal business person is found in the interview, Li Yangji will also humorously say, "I would like to thank him for his hard work abroad for the country, wish him good health and earn more foreign exchange."

Angry? Cambodians in Taiwan are angry that "all kindness has been smeared" Net bomb: Don't try to leave it clean

 Editor : Huang Jiewen / https://news.tvbs.com.tw/life/1877112 / Image : Fraud incidents in Cambodia are frequent, and the police have recently stepped up publicity. (Photo/TVBS) 

 "Cambodians in Taiwan are angry?" Recently, there have been frequent incidents of Taiwanese fraud syndicates abducting and selling Taiwanese to Cambodia. Victims were brutally beaten, sexually assaulted, and even subjected to inhuman acts such as organ harvesting. The extensive media coverage seems to have aroused dissatisfaction among Cambodians in Taiwan. Some netizens recently posted a message from a Cambodian colleague, which pointed out that "the Taiwanese media's constant negative reports will only increase the hatred between the two peoples", "most Cambodian frauds are dominated by mainlanders and Taiwanese, and the goodness of Cambodians has been smeared. "Wait. As soon as the information was exposed, it also caused discussion among netizens, who bombarded "don't pretend to be wronged".

A villager posted on the "PTT" gossip board on 13 August 2022 that several of his company's colleagues are from Cambodia. The Cambodian colleagues said that recently they have seen Taiwanese media constantly reporting news of Taiwanese being defrauded in Cambodia. No matter how messy the news is, the people of Cambodia and Taiwan will become enemies.” As you can see from the screenshot, the Cambodian colleague said that the Cambodian government will no longer grant visas on arrival to Taiwanese, and Taiwanese will not be able to do business in Cambodia at will. As a result, all of them will be arrested by the Cambodian government for review.

 The former PO colleague also said that a few years ago, a Taiwanese fraud group deceived Cambodian women. They said that a Cambbidan woman could marry a Taiwanese boy and be a Taiwanese daughter-in-law or family caregiver. Unexpectedly, she actually came to Taiwan and became a lady escort. Many Cambodians think that Taiwanese are all liars, questioning "Why doesn't the Taiwanese media report it?"

 He also said that when the Cambodian scam cases broke out, Taiwanese people felt that Cambodia was a liar. "If this continues, there will be conflicts between the two countries, and the people of the two countries will suffer." The former PO colleague also complained, " The Cambodian people are very kind.” He also pointed out that only Sihanoukville is more chaotic, and the scams in Cambodia are dominated by Chinese mainlanders and Taiwanese.

 After receiving the message, the original PO reluctantly pointed out, "Did they make a mistake? From the beginning, they were discussing that their own people lied to their own people. How should I explain it to them?" He said that Cambodia is already a high-risk country. "Don't pretend to be wronged."

 Not only that, scandals such as local police collusion with fraudulent groups have also been heard from time to time, which has also made netizens dissatisfied and questioned, "Who believes in being kind?" Besides, the Taiwanese experience in Cambodia today is no longer a fraud incident but a human trafficking incident. Netizens even more bluntly said that when such a thing happened in Cambodia, "I can't solve it, don't scold Cambodia and scold anyone? Don't even think about it", "Have there been local reports in Cambodia how many people were killed in Cambodia?", "The Cambodian government is incompetent, let it go. Can't you talk about what happened?"

Not just Cambodia! GASO names "5 countries": Don't go

Editor : Zheng Xinlian / https://news.tvbs.com.tw/local/1871767

There have been frequent cases of Taiwanese being lured to Cambodia recently. The victims were not only beaten and placed under house arrest, but even women were sexually assaulted by multiple people, which aroused social concern. The non-profit organization Global Anti Scam Organization (GASO) also pointed out that Taiwanese are "walking gold" in the local area, frankly admitting that this time is very dangerous, and named 5 countries, shouting "No matter what." Any job opportunity, just don’t go.”

GASO posted on Facebook on 7 August 2022, writing "Hundreds of scams, thousands of them will not leave the sect", bluntly saying that the current scam method is a new type, in fact, it is repackaged again and again, and human trafficking is only now. It is just the result. “The reason for him is that he is hard to catch, and in some countries, the culpability is very low, and he is even allowed to be raised. So yesterday he engaged in games and scam today, and now there is a tendency to directly kidnap tickets for ransom.

 Image : The global anti-scam group uncovers today's most popular scams. (Photo / Retrieved from GASO Facebook, Global Anti Scam Organization) 

 The article also exposes the most popular scam methods today, which are "loan scams, FB advertisements to help you borrow money, and then tell you that flying to Thailand will guarantee a low interest rate, and people will be kidnapped. Otherwise, private loans or even bank claims. At the end of the resale, the people who still haven’t come out will tell you that they will pay for room and board, work overseas to pay off debts, do purchasing, customer service or gaming, and they will also be kidnapped.”

 In addition, the most common one is friends cheating friends. "No matter what the reason is, the scam group will provide scripts to ask you to tell different stories and abduct your friends to the local area such as to be an AV actor. If the education level is not high enough, vigilance is not enough, or people who trust their friends too much will be easily deceived." For example, there was a case where they thought they were going to Penghu to do hydropower, but the flight tickets were all in English. It was understood later but  "people have already arrived in Cambodia after getting off the plane."

 Finally, the Global Anti-Fraud Organization also appealed that now is a very dangerous period, and named five countries "Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Dubai (UAE)", reminding the public to be careful, "No matter what job opportunity you have, don't just go there. Correct".

 The U.S. "Fox News" went to the 2022 Wisconsin State Fair and asked tourists about cross-strait issues between China and Taiwan. Most of the respondents believed that Taiwan is an independent country.

 China considers Taiwan part of its territory but Taiwan has always been a self-governing democracy, according to Fox News. In addition, China requires allies to sever official ties with Taiwan but the United States continues to maintain unofficial ties with Taiwan.

 At the Wisconsin State Fair, a tourist named Dustin said that Taiwan is absolutely an independent country and they have sovereign rights. Another tourist stressed that China should take care of its own affairs and stay away from that independent country (referring to Taiwan).

 "We should treat Taiwan as a country, and frankly I don't care if China is angry," said a citizen named Michael. Michael said that although the United States and China can maintain diplomatic relations, China should not be guided What should America do.

 A tourist talked about the recent visit to Taiwan by the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Pelosi. He praised Pelosi's approach very much because she came to Taiwan to confront China. A woman who thinks Taiwan is an independent country said China should let Taiwan go, just as Putin should let Ukraine go.

(Source: Central News Agency) 

 In the morning of 15 August 2022, U.S. Senator Markey led a delegation to visit Taiwan's Legislative Yuan, and held closed-door talks with the Taiwan Foreign Affairs and Defense Council to discuss U.S. strategic issues with Taiwan.

 The U.S. Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman of the Asia-Pacific Subcommittee Maggie arrived in Taiwan on  14 August. The members of the congressional delegation included three Democrats including Representative John Garamandi and Representative Don Baier of the Congressional Nuclear Weapons and Arms Control Working Group. Congressman, and Republican Rep. Aumua Amata Coleman Radewagen.

 Markey voted for the Taiwan Relations Act when he was a U.S. congressman in 1979. He is one of the few congressmen in the U.S. Congress who have participated in the legislation of the Taiwan Relations Act and are still in office.

 Garamandi chairs the House Military Preparedness Subcommittee, which is directly involved in discussions of the Defense Department's spending on Taiwan's military needs.

The Central News Agency reported that in the morning of the 15th, Maki and others called on the Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee of the Taiwan Legislative Yuan.

The two sides held a closed-door meeting for about an hour. After the meeting, Maki and others left the Legislative Yuan without being interviewed by the media.

DPP legislator Luo Zhizheng told the media after the meeting that five U.S. congressmen and eight legislators discussed issues such as U.S.-Taiwan relations, regional security and military status. Both sides believe that it is extremely important to jointly defend the values ​​of liberal democracy.

He said the two sides did not talk about specific arms sales projects but he stressed that more military cooperation between Taiwan and the United States is necessary so that there is a way to deal with crises in wartime.

Luo Zhizheng told Maki during the meeting that their visit to Taiwan is very important and of special significance, which once again proves that the CCP cannot deter politicians from other countries from visiting Taiwan.

 According to the report, during the talks, U.S. lawmakers had consulted Taiwan legislators on whether the US should adopt a vague or clear strategy towards Taiwan.

 In this regard, Luo Zhizheng said that he hoped that the United States would take a strategically clear position.

 

DPP legislator Wang Dingyu who attended the meeting also agreed that the United States should take a strategically clear position. He believes that the United States should send a clear signal to the CCP and not let the CCP misjudgment prevail.

 According to an earlier statement issued by Taiwan's Presidential Office, "At a time when CCP China's military exercises have intensified tensions across the Taiwan Strait and in the region, Markey's visit to Taiwan once again demonstrates the firm support of the U.S. Congress for Taiwan and the joint maintenance of democratic partners. The determination of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and the region."

 Markey's office also issued a statement earlier, stating that the delegation will meet with Taiwanese leaders and private sector members to discuss the situation in the Taiwan Strait and economic cooperation, including investment in semiconductors.

 Following the US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, another U.S. congressional delegation visited Taiwan, and the CCP jumped again and made threats.

 The CCP Embassy in Washington claimed on 14 August that the recent U.S. Congress visit was an interference in the internal affairs of the Chinese Communist Party.

 The Eastern Theater of the CCP announced at 2.41 pm on 15 August that a multi-service joint combat readiness patrol and actual combat drills were organized in the sea and airspace around Taiwan.

 However, the United States and Taiwan were unmoved by the threat of the CCP. Taiwan's Foreign Minister Wu Zhaoxie said on 12 August that Taipei "very welcomes" more foreign delegations to visit.

 Bonnie Glaser, director of the Asia program at the German Marshall Fund (GMF), a Washington-based think tank, said that "many members of Congress want to visit Taiwan to show U.S. support" and "another congressional delegation is expected to visit by the end of the month.".

 70% of the 8 Chinese people are not afraid of the CCP's military exercise. You Yinglong: Taiwanese are not scared

 Image : The Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation released today (16th) the latest poll on "Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, China's military exercises and Taiwan's public opinion." (Photo provided by the Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation) 

 The U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan caused a crisis in the situation in the Taiwan Strait. The Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation released on 16 August the latest poll on "Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, Chinese military exercises and Taiwan's public opinion". The confidence of President Tsai Ing-wen's leadership of the national security team is very different. 46% of the people have confidence and 43% of the people do not, but as many as 78% of the people say they are not afraid of the Chinese military exercise, and 53% of the people welcome Pelosi's visit. 

You Yinglong, chairman of the Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation, said that "Taiwanese are not intimidated." China's military exercises have not achieved a deterrent effect, but they still lack confidence in the national security team.

 According to the latest poll, as to whether Taiwanese welcome Pelosi to lead a delegation to visit Taiwan, among Taiwanese over the age of 20, 53 percent basically welcome Pelosi's visit, 20 percent do not welcome Pelosi, 20 percent have no opinion or don't know ; And when asked if you regret Pelosi coming to Taiwan? 50% of the public do not regret Pelosi's visit because of the large-scale military exercise triggered by her visit to Taiwan.

You Yinglong pointed out that this finding conveys a clear message, that is, the vast majority of Taiwanese welcome Pelosi's visit, and less than one-quarter of those who do not say so, even if the CCP launches the largest-scale military exercise in history, they will be shaken. Not only the will of Taiwanese people, "It's a pleasure to have friends from afar" is the way of hospitality of Taiwanese people. However, there are still 30% of the people who will be affected by the strong opposition of the CCP, and there are still quite a lot of people who say that Taiwanese society is conservative and afraid of things.

 Do the polls show that Taiwanese are intimidated by China's large-scale military exercises? 17% of the people are basically afraid of China's large-scale military drills, but as many as 78% are not afraid. It is worth noting that 45% said they are not afraid at all. You Yinglong said the discovery sent a clear message that even in the face of CCP's largest military exercise ever, more than 100 fighters of various types, a considerable number of warships and drones were dispatched, and as many as 11 Dongfeng-15 missiles were launched, of which there are also 4 missiles that directly pass through the sky over the island of Taiwan, but the vast majority of Taiwanese are not afraid, and the number of people who will be afraid is obviously less than 20%, "This means that CCP's military exercise has not achieved the expected effect of deterring the people of Taiwan. The Taiwanese are really not frightened.”

 Polls also show that Chinese people have polarized opinions on the ability of the national security team led by Tsai Ing-wen

 Image : The Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation released a poll on the confidence of the Chinese people in the national security team led by President Tsai. (Photo/Provided by the Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation) 

 You Yinglong explained that this implies that the Chinese people have a serious lack of confidence in the national security team led by Tsai Ing-wen, which may be related to her political style because she did not convene the National Security Council to actively develop contingency plans, and did not address the public across the country. Going according to the daily schedule, this kind of behaviour is considered by supporters to be rational and calm, but in the eyes of non-supporters, it is insensitive, helpless, and responds to changes without change, which is the same as that of former President Lee Teng-hui when he dealt with the missile crisis in the Taiwan Strait,  which is open and close, very different, very different.

 In addition, the latest polls show that 42% of the Chinese people expressed their confidence in responding to the performance of the Chinese military exercise around Taiwan from the Ministry of National Defense but there are still 35%. It indicates that confidence has weakened, and the increase in confidence is 77 percentage points more than the decrease.

 The survey visit period is from 8 to 9 August 2022; adults over the age of 20 are nationwide; the sampling method is based on the national residential phone users as the sampling structure, and the sampling method is systematic sampling plus two-digit random sampling. A valid sample covers 1035 people; the sampling error is about plus or minus 3.05 percentage points under the 95% confidence level, and is weighted by region, gender, age and education level according to the latest demographic data of the Ministry of the Interior to conform to the maternal structure.

 Is China really finished? U.S. orders ban on exports of 14nm semiconductor equipment

 Image : The United States has continuously hit China's semiconductor industry. (Schematic, Reuters) 

 After the U.S. chip law was finalized, it immediately imposed export controls on China such as EDA software under 3 nanometers to Chinese companies. According to CCP media Caixin, Colin and KLA both disclosed that they had received a notification from the US government that the scope of US technology export control to China will be further expanded to foundries that produce chips below 14 nm, because many chip production equipment is cross-node. The power of this countermeasure is amazing, and it is also equivalent to extending export control related to the semiconductor industry to individual companies such as SMIC to "the whole of China".

 The United States has recently hit China's semiconductor industry with heavy blows. First, the wafer foreclosure has been finalized, requiring subsidized companies and China and other foreign entities of concern, if they have important transaction plans for substantial semiconductor production capacity expansion, they need to report to the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Secretary informed that the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, after consulting with the U.S. Secretary of Defense and the Director of Intelligence, will need 90 days to make a decision on whether to withdraw the subsidy.

Then, two semiconductor materials, diamond and gallium oxide (Ga2O3), semiconductor EDA software for GAAFET architecture, and pressure gain combustion technology for gas turbine engines are added to the commercial control list to control their exports. Restricting the export of EDA software for advanced chip designs below 3nm to China will hit China's IC design industry hard.

 The latest news is that the White House has ordered U.S. semiconductor equipment manufacturers not to export process equipment below 14 nanometers to Chinese companies. Chinese media Caixin disclosed that semiconductor equipment giants Colin and KLA have both disclosed that they have received a notification from the US government that the scope of US technology export control to China will be further expanded to include foundries that produce chips below 14 nanometers.

 Colin CEO Tim Archer made it clear at the earnings conference that the above export control measures are mainly aimed at foundries and do not include restrictions on DRAM manufacturers. Currently, Colin assumes that this export control applies to all wafer production in China below 14nm.

 As Collin's No. 1 market is China, accounting for more than 30% of its total revenue, Fanlin is still prepared to fully comply with the above-mentioned notification from the US government. Caixin bluntly stated that once this export control policy is fully implemented, the power will be amazing.

 Wang Xiaolong, research director of China's market research agency Xinmou, also said that chip manufacturers such as SMIC are already on the US sanctioned entity list. All production-related machines will be affected.

 He said that the production equipment of many chips is cross-node. For example, the new 28nm machine can basically support the 14nm process. If the 14nm machine is controlled, the 28nm machine fear of being affected. And 28nm is a mature process that is widely used at present. SMIC has expanded a lot of 28nm production lines in recent years.

 Chip industry analysts also pointed out that if the above-mentioned restrictions are implemented, it will greatly affect the production of 3D NAND chips in China. Because many devices in China currently rely on overseas, such as exposure machines, they cannot completely replace Colin's equipment in key processes and processes.

 Cai Kaiming, a lawyer specializing in import and export control at China Dentons Law Firm, said that if the aforementioned export control policy related to chips below 14 nanometers comes true, the mechanism will be different from the previous sanctions "entity list", which will be the United States' export control to China Policy "Comprehensive Adjustment".

 Su Kui questioned Xia Liyan's visit to China, Zhu Lilun was invisible for 4 days and responded

 Reporters : Peng Shengqiang, Lin Qiuxia, Huang Liangjian and Li Jingjing, Taipei, Hsinchu, Taiwan / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/08/15/a103502580.html  

 Xia Liyan, vice chairman of the Kuomintang, led a delegation to visit the mainland at a sensitive time when the CCP's military exercise threatened Taiwan, causing a lot of criticism on the island. In response, Kuomintang Chairman Zhu Lilun responded for the first time on 13 August 2022

 Su Zhenchang, President of the Executive Yuan, said, "The CCP uses military aircraft and warships to launch missiles, and false information has repeatedly harassed Taiwan and undermined regional peace. The Kuomintang actually organized a group to run to the enemy's camp at night."

 Xia Liyan, vice chairman of the Kuomintang and former deputy minister of defense, led a delegation to visit China at a sensitive time when the CCP's military exercises threatened Taiwan, which aroused discussions from all walks of life. Four days later, Kuomintang Chairman Zhu Lilun appeared at the event and responded to the incident for the first time.

 Kuomintang Chairman Zhu Lilun said, "Going to the mainland at this time is not good for the Kuomintang and will affect the election at the end of the year, but when Taiwan is at its most dangerous, it is good for Taiwan. If such a conflict continues, who can guarantee that it will not turn into a war? ?"

 There was also news that Xia Liyan's trip was to raise funds for the election, and even Zhu Lilun received a call from the CCP. In this regard, Zhu Lilun said: "Don't come to humiliate us, don't come to treat us as mentally handicapped, don't come to maliciously attack us in this way."

 During Xia Liyan's interview, not only did Commissioner Lu object to it, but there were even more dissenting voices within the Blue Camp. Including the Kuomintang Youth League's "stop visiting and listening to public opinion" joint signing activity; the former Kuomintang deputy secretary-general Yan Kuanheng also shouted "please the Kuomintang must think twice!"; Hou Youyi, mayor of New Taipei, said that Xia Liyan had been reminded before his visit. It is worth thinking about it again and again; Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan also said that the timing is not right, and it will only add to the troubles.

 Su Zhenchang commented, "Those who want to elect also know where the mainstream public opinion is, so they all stand up to oppose it. Then they don't know what the Kuomintang is trying to do and what they want to exchange. The invasion of evil neighbour and foreign enemy should be unanimous in unity against in the whole country."

 Xia Liyan is also a member of the International Affairs Committee of the Taichung Government. On 13 August, the Taichung City Government stated that Xia Liyan resigned on 12 August as a member and a municipal consultant, and the city expressed respect.

 Hainan's 150,000 tourists can't go home, and Sanya's lockdown causes the city in shortage of supplies

 Reporters : Chen Jie, Li Shanshan and Li Peiling / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/08/15/a103502572.html / Image of Sanya Phoenix Airport : Video Screenshot 

 The epidemic situation in Hainan Province continued to heat up, and 150,000 foreign tourists were stranded there. Video showed the tourists gathering to protest, shouting to go home. Sanya residents also complained about the city's lockdown and soaring prices.

 According to official reports, on 13 and 14 August, Sanya, Hainan added 1,088 and 778 new local infections, respectively. Since the CCP has always concealed the epidemic, the actual number of infections may be higher.

 Hainan officials recently called for the realization of social zero-level 12 days ago. These data show that the so-called zero-level ended in failure. On the 13th, Sun Chunlan, Vice Premier of the State Council of the Communist Party of China, arrived in Hainan and admitted that there are still about 150,000 tourists stranded in Hainan due to the epidemic.

 Tourists stranded in Sanya echoed, "I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go home..."

 Online videos showed some stranded tourists in Sanya marching on the streets, shouting "go home". In addition, tourists stranded in Haikou are also protesting.

Passengers stranded in Haikou echoed, "Hainan government, we are going home! We are going home..."

 Officials announced that from the 15th, Sanya Phoenix International Airport will resume domestic flight operations, but tickets can only be purchased if certain conditions are met, and only after inspection can they board the plane to leave the island.

 The merchant of Sanya Phoenix Airport said anonymously, "The airport has not yet resumed flights, and some are charter flights."

Other provinces and cities have restricted Hainan tourists from returning to the local area due to concerns about infection. Some provinces and cities hyping that they can "charter flights" also require tourists to provide negative nucleic acid certificates for consecutive days before boarding the plane, and they will be isolated on the spot after being picked up.

Some apartment owners also said that because of the closure of the city, a large number of tourists are still stranded and unable to leave.

 Mr. Lin, an apartment owner in Sanya, said, "I can't lift the seal, and I'm not allowed to enter or leave. I can't clear (zero) for the time being. Anyway, it's supplies, so it's definitely not easy to handle. Now the epidemic is still very serious, (accommodation tourists) ) is still stranded, there is no other way, (business) is not very good, then what is there to earn, it is compensation.”

 Another video shows that a resident of Sanya has nothing to eat.

 Sanya resident said, "The refrigerator is empty, the rice bucket is empty, the gas is empty, and the stomach is empty."

 Some residents said that the city of Sanya is locked down, food is in short supply, and prices have skyrocketed. One onion is eaten three times, and eight potatoes are sold for 50 RMB. Food-starved people are so miserable that they have to eat grass.

 Hainan's dynamic clearing measures failed, Sun Chunlan inspected and admitted 150,000 tourists were stranded

 The "three-day dynamic clearing" claimed by the Hainan authorities of the Communist Party of China has broken, and the epidemic continues to spread. Vice Premier Sun Chunlan of the Communist Party of China inspected Hainan a few days ago and admitted for the first time that 150,000 foreign tourists were stranded.

 On 13 August, Hainan Province still accounted for more than half of the national infection cases officially reported by the CCP, indicating that the "three-day social clearance" boasted by the Hainan authorities earlier ended in failure.

 In addition to Hainan, Tibet and Xinjiang are also the focus of the current epidemic in China, and many cities are closed.

 Sun Chunlan went to Hainan for inspection on the 13th, requesting "quick measures to put out the epidemic as soon as possible", and ordered to speed up the construction of makeshift hospitals.

 Sun Chunlan also mentioned that there are still about 150,000 tourists in Hainan who are stranded due to the epidemic, requiring Hainan to "do a good job in service guarantees", and other provinces and cities "should not refuse or limit acceptance." Wang Liming, deputy director of the Hainan Provincial Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports, "apologised" on the 13th, admitting that "the progress of the return journey did not meet the expectations of passengers."

 A few days ago, the city of Sanya in Hainan was suddenly locked down, causing 80,000 tourists to be trapped, and local restaurants and hotels raised their prices on the ground, causing public anger.

 At present, tourists stranded in Hainan are still in a difficult situation. Other provinces and cities have restricted or even refused local tourists to Hainan to return home due to concerns about infection. A few provinces and cities that hype "chartered flights to evacuate overseas Chinese" also require tourists to provide negative nucleic acid certificates for consecutive days before boarding, and they will all be quarantined on the spot after being picked up.

 The online video showed that more than 100 tourists who returned to Shanghai from Haikou City, Hainan on 12 August were immediately taken to the public rental housing where the positive and close contacts were isolated, and they were not allowed to get off the bus for more than 5 consecutive hours. The tourist asked to go to the toilet, but the epidemic prevention staff brought a bucket and let the tourists solve it on the spot in the car. The tourist asked angrily, "Treat us like pigs?"

 Hainan sends a letter to Jiangsu: If it refuses to accept tourists again, it will be reported to the State Council

 Reporter : Zheng Gusheng / Editor: Lin Qing / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/08/15/a103502705.html

 The CCP's "dynamic clearing" has created a lot of ridiculous farces. The outbreak of the epidemic in Hainan Province has caused a large number of tourists to be stranded, and many places are not allowed to return to their hometowns. Hainan sent a letter to the Jiangsu government, threatening to sue the State Council if it refuses to accept tourists again.

 On Monday (15 August 2022), a "Letter on Emergency Coordination and Release of Flights" issued by Hainan authorities to Jiangsu authorities on the 14th was uploaded online. The letter stated that some cities in Jiangsu Province were reluctant to accept stranded passengers, resulting in flights unable to take off, and a large number of stranded passengers gathered at Haikou Airport. Therefore, the Hainan authorities "requested your province to urgently coordinate the release of flights from relevant cities."

 The letter quoted the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Return of Passengers Detained in Hainan" issued by the State Council of the Communist Party of China earlier, stating that the Beijing authorities have clearly requested that all localities should not refuse to accept "stranded passengers who meet the return criteria."

 The letter finally issued a threat that if Jiangsu delays in accepting stranded passengers or restricting flights, Hainan will report to the State Council's anti-epidemic joint prevention and control mechanism, and inform Jiangsu passengers of the truth. 

 Hainan government staff have confirmed the authenticity of the above letter to the CCP media, but also helped the Jiangsu authorities to ease their cheeks, saying that the flights rejected by Jiangsu were only "temporarily increased flights", and some cities in Jiangsu, including Nanjing, Wuxi, Changzhou already has a clear plan to receive stranded passengers.

 On the 13th, Vice Premier Sun Chunlan of the State Council of the Communist Party of China inspected Hainan, and for the first time admitted that 150,000 tourists from other places were stranded in Hainan, and asked Hainan to provide services. Foreign governments are not allowed to refuse returning tourists.

 The letter from Hainan to Jiangsu shows that under the high pressure of "dynamic clearing", the local authorities not only ignored the suffering of people's livelihood, but also turned a deaf ear to the orders of some "non-authoritative institutions" in Beijing.

 Earlier this month, the city of Sanya in Hainan Province was suddenly locked down, and local restaurants and hotels started to raise prices on the ground, making the 80,000 tourists stranded in the area miserable. The incident sparked public condemnation. Several other provinces, cities and cities took the opportunity to hype "chartered flights to evacuate overseas Chinese" to improve their "image", but evacuated tourists also need to be tested for multiple consecutive days before boarding the plane, and they will be quarantined on the spot after returning home.

 The situation is even more difficult for those stranded tourists who are rejected by their hometowns. In addition to facing economic pressure, they are also restricted from freedom of movement, queuing up for nucleic acid testing every day, and the mental pressure of "no hope of returning home" makes many people on the verge of collapse. A video was circulated on the Internet. It was suspected that the flight back home was cancelled again, and the stranded tourists in Sanya knelt down and cried. Another video showed that stranded tourists in Sanya gathered to protest, and a large number of police arrived on the scene.

 Hainan authorities claimed that there were 150,000 tourists from other provinces stranded in Hainan, but as of the 13th, only 56 charter flights had been arranged to return 8,835 stranded passengers.

On the occasion of the CCP’s military exercise, Xia Liyan, vice chairman of the Kuomintang, visited the other side on behalf of the party, and was bombarded by his own family members. He said that he strongly suggested that Xia Liyan should clearly express his opposition to the CCP’s military exercises and defend the sovereignty of the Republic of China during this visit, and the itinerary should also be disclosed and transparent.

U.S. Senator Ed Markey’s congressional delegation visited Taiwan yesterday. The CCP People’s Liberation Army announced again yesterday that it will conduct military exercises around the Taiwan Strait. Chiang Wan’an’s campaign office said in a press release in the morning that it is happy to see the visiting delegation promote dialogue between Taiwan and the United States and condemn the CCP’s military exercises as ineffective, facilitating cross-strait peace. Chiang's office also strongly urged, "Vice-Chairman Xia Liyan's trip to China should be open, transparent, and immediately disclosed, and should condemn the CCP's military exercises for not helping cross-strait peace, and reiterate his determination to defend the sovereignty of the Republic of China."

On the U.S. congressman's visit to Taiwan "Chinese military exercise" State Council criticizes overreaction as unnecessary

The US Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Asia-Pacific Chairman Markey led a delegation to visit Taiwan, and the Communist Army immediately announced that it would conduct actual combat exercises around Taiwan. The U.S. State Department said on 16 August 2022 that the lawmakers' visit to Taiwan is in line with the U.S. one-China policy, and any military provocation is an overreaction and unnecessary.

Democratic Senator Ed Markey led a bipartisan congressional delegation to visit Taiwan from the 14th to the 15th. The Eastern Theater Command of the CCP People's Liberation Army immediately posted on its official Weibo on the 15th, organizing multi-army joint combat readiness in the sea and airspace surrounding Taiwan, police patrol and actual combat drills.

 

U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price said when asked about the matter at a regular briefing today that U.S. congressmen have visited Taiwan one after another for decades, and about 10 delegations have visited Taiwan this year alone. Congressman's visit to Taiwan is completely in line with the long-standing "one China policy" of the United States. Against this background, the CCP's response at the beginning of the month was "completely overreacted."

Price was referring to Beijing's military provocations because of the US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan from the 2nd to the 3rd, including the launch of 11 missiles into the waters around Taiwan, several of which landed on Taiwan. Japan's adjacent waters.

"Any bellicose rhetoric, military exercise or provocative action in response to a lawmaker's peaceful visit is totally unnecessary and an overreaction," Price stressed.

 

In contrast, Price said the U.S. responded appropriately and responsibly to the CCP's provocation, made it clear that it did not want to escalate the situation, and had no reason to create a crisis.

At the same time, Price said that the United States also showed that it would follow international law to fly, sail and perform missions in the region; in addition, President Biden (Joe Biden) ordered the USS Ronald Reagan  to continue staying behind in the region, the United States will also announce additional actions in support of Taiwan this week.

In response to China still not giving up military control of Taiwan, Price pointed out that in the past period of time, it has been clearly seen that one party is trying to change, challenge and erode the status quo that has been the core of stability and security in the Taiwan Strait for more than 40 years. Not Taiwan, but the CCP." (Central News Agency)

Head of British Strategic Command: CCP China's behavior is extremely inappropriate, it may create a new normal

Admiral Hawkenhall, head of the British Strategic Command, pointed out that China's recent actions against Taiwan have escalated the situation and are extremely unhelpful and inappropriate. It is important to make this clear to China. He is concerned about such aggressive behaviour by Beijing will become the new normal in the region.

This is the first time that senior British military figures have publicly commented on Beijing's actions to escalate regional tensions since U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan from 2 to 3 August 2022. It is also rare for senior British officials to criticize Beijing explicitly and directly.

 

Jim Hockenhull judged that CCP has made it "very clear" that it wants to "retake" Taiwan by 2049, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

He mentioned that the Communist army had only 23 surface ships at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, and today the number has risen to more than 500. In addition, the CCP has invested heavily in the development of sea and air sensing and cyber warfare capabilities, and its possible uses are worrying.

Hawkenhall accurately predicted a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in November last year, and decided to adopt an unusual strategy of preemptively releasing intelligence information to various countries in order to expose Russia's aggressive intentions before Moscow had the opportunity to spread misleading information on a large scale. .

 

He was then Chief of Defence Intelligence and was promoted to Commander of Strategic Command in May. Formerly known as Joint Forces Command, Strategic Command covers military intelligence, as well as land, sea, air, space, cyber and special operations.

Hawkenhall was interviewed by British media such as the BBC and The Times on the 13th, which was the first time since taking over the new position. He mentioned that there is nothing unusual about Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, and China is obviously overreacting.

CCP responded to Pelosi's visit by holding large-scale military exercises around Taiwan. Such a response is completely "disproportionate," Hawkenhall said, and the CCP government may be trying to set a new benchmark for action.

He stressed that the Ministry of Defence will continue to track developments in CCP China in order to alert the British political leadership as early as possible, as before the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war in February.

As for the direction of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Hawkenhall judged that the war is unlikely to end before the end of this year, and "there is still a long way to go", because Russia and Ukraine lack the military power to achieve the goal of plundering and regaining territory.

Nonetheless, Hawkenhall concluded that next year will be "super important" in terms of balance of power changes, as tens of thousands of Ukrainians will have completed Western military training and Ukraine will receive more sophisticated weapons from Britain and the United States.

Russia's political and military circles lack mutual trust, Moscow may resort to use nuclear weapons

Although he correctly judged Russia's aggressive intentions last year, Hawkenhall said frankly that Ukraine's will and strength of resistance and the extent of Russia's military failure did exceed expectations. In addition to military issues such as command, control, and logistics, political intervention from the strategic to tactical level also made the Russian side's results less than expected. Hawkenhall pointed out that Russia's political and military circles lack mutual trust.

 

As for whether Russia may use tactical nuclear weapons, Hawkenhall said that the British side is closely observing; although the probability of Russia doing so is not high at present, if the war trend changes, it is not ruled out that Moscow will use nuclear weapons. (Central News Agency)
