#USN and #USAF have been built to tackle enemies like #IJN, #IJA, Soviet Red Army, #PLA, #PLAAF, etc. That too in deep waters of the ocean where carriers and planes have room to maneuver. In confined spaces like Straits of #Hormuz or Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb they have struggled. Additionally it is rumored that tens of #PLAAF planes had delivered anti-ship missiles to #Iran just before the #IranWar started

Opening of #Hormuz will not be easy. The best way forward is to stop this war and negotiate

China's military purges hit a new peak after Gen. Zhang Youxia was ousted last month—reportedly over bribery and even alleged leaks to the US. Now Beijing has also dropped nine PLA deputies from the NPC list. HT used a new dataset from CSIS to explore China's military purges in detail.

The great (military) purges of China

By Sreedev Krishnakumar

When China’s president Xi Jinping purged General Zhang Youxia on January 19—among other things Zhang was accused of leaking nuclear secrets to the US—China’s military purge reached a level never seen before under Xi. Not only was Zhang the highest military leader as the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, he had also known Xi from school. The latter, in fact, referred to Zhang as his “elder brother.” Purges, whether political or military—and the two do not necessarily have a Chinese wall between them—are not entirely unheard of in post-revolution China. However, the latest round under Xi’s leadership is definitely different in terms of its momentum and reach in China’s more recent past. On Thursday, Chinese state news agency reported that the country’s top legislature updated its list of deputies from the PLA, removing nine military officials. A new dataset prepared by Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a Washington DC-based think tank, which tracks active duty and retired generals and lieutenant generals purged or potentially purged from January 2022 to February 2026 allows us to quantify this process. Here is a quick summary.

Abrí mi e-reader porque el botón no respondía.
No estaba roto.
Le faltaban décimas de milímetro.
Me sigue alucinando lo finísimos que son estos dispositivos por dentro… y cómo una tolerancia mínima puede convertir algo caro en una pesadilla diaria.
La solución: una pequeña pieza impresa en PLA (v2, porque la v1 interfería con la carcasa 😅).
