there are alot dual purpose tech, semiconductor for example. That been said, i dont think chinese military are willing to take the risk by integrating certain foreign tech/hardware into its military equipment from 5 eyes. They likely learn it then make their own version, kind like how they did with many russia tech.

Thank you....
And now the FBI has found an active PLA-member pretending to be a normal hospital-employee.
When this female chinese national entered the US, she did it on a J-1 visa, a non-immigrant vis “for individuals approved to participate in work-and study-based exchange visitor programs,”. She further stated that her employer was “Xi Diaoyutai Hospital”.
The affidavit alleges that these were lies, and that Song was a member of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), the Chinese military, when she entered and while she was in the United States, and that the hospital she listed on her visa as her employer was a cover for her true employer, the PLA.

Chinese Students in the US Caught Up in Geopolitics and Trump's Immigration Crackdown - Documented
Chinese students in the US fled or decided not to come in the first place over Trump's crackdown on Chinese nationals and immigration policies
documentedny.com
Put this article, although it blames the problem that facing Chinese students on Trump policies. However the concerns on Chinese students coming to steal US research is actually Bipartisan. Bidden will more diplomatic on ithandling the issue, but I suspect he will continue the tough scrutiny on Chinese students. Especially the ones that come for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) majors. One thing I agree with this article is that will take hit toward US Labs, RnD institution and Technology companies.
Even during my time schooling in US in 90's, US universities and RnD labs on STEM fields already depend on influx from Asian students and graduates for their work force. Is not that there're few US Nationals and Western students in STEM fields, however with huge amount of RnD being done in US, they need more students and Graduates on STEM fields. Majority of that Asians STEM force coming from mainland China and India.
The idea of Chinese University will take over STEM research especially the cutting edge ones, from US, Japan or Western Euro Universities, is not going to happen soon. The Chinese Universities will improve their quality, but not in the sense in can surpass cutting edge technology Globally. Thus many of Chinese students will see that studying STEM majors in US will still give them an edge. On that sense PLA and Chinese Government Institution, will still try to find a way to sneak their "student" on the flow of ordinary "innocent" Chinese students.
Thus this is a double edge sword for many US, Japan, Western Euro Universities. They need the influx of Chinese Students on STEM majors to add the work force on their Labs and RnD institutions. On the other hand there always be "Infiltration Students" from PLA and Chinese Institutions among them.

The need for foreign students is valid but this could be reduced by directing domestic youth towards core subjects that lead to STEM programs at higher educational levels. Same applies for trades apprenticeships. Liberal Arts and Law degrees aren’t exactly improving economic performance for many Western nations.

True, but you won't see a Chinese student doing either of those unless a) their family is super-rich and it's a status symbol and/or b) they're aiming for a job outside China.
Those degrees won't get anyone a job in the PRC. The reason they go for STEM subjects is because a foreign degree in a subject like that will help them get past the mass of domestic Chinese students that graduate each year.

Canada's parliament declares China's treatment of Uighurs 'genocide'
Canada is just the second country after the US to recognise China's actions in Xinjiang as genocide.

It is actually remarkable that the islamic countries, which some of them using the Shariah as a political system and claiming that they are so pure islamic, do not do anything or not even critisize the suppressive and genocidal actions of china.

Power of road and belt policy. China for some Islamic countries provide alternative for them Investment and Trade sources. Some of them see 'anti islamists' from Western nation's, make more 'beligerence' policies toward some Islamic nation. China fill that void.

A series of articles that discuss mostly the maritime aspects of PRC expansionist policies.
www.aspistrategist.org.au
The author argues that Xi Jinping has taken the CCP path further from it's Marxist Leninist and Maoist foundations and beliefs to a National Socialist beliefs and principles. This drift started with Deng Xao Peng when he started the economic reforms and now you have Xi Jinping's policies of persecution and assimilation of minority ethnicities that is occurring. Capitalism with racial superiority, so if you are Han Chinese, you are top dog and everyone is less than you - untermensch? Does this sound familiar? The Muslims, as in the Uighers, are now forced into concentration camps and subjected to genocide. The Mongols in Inner Mongolia are now starting to be marginalised and assimilated with their language no longer being taught in schools and every subject taught in Mandarin. This article is most interesting and somewhat out of left field, however it certainly would explain a lot, if the argument posited is indeed valid.

This article looks at how the PRC uses ports to expand its naval expansion and in particular two companies, COSCO and China Merchants. It explains who the PLA pledges its allegiance too and who is its boss, and ** Spoiler Alert ** it isn't the PRC or the Chinese people. It is actually gives a good and quick basic idea of how the CCP controls things.

To be honest, where China is on the extremist end of the political spectrum is irrelevant. Stalin persecuted minorities and "undesirables" in a similar way that Hitler did. That Stalin did not use sarin gas is irrelevant if millions still died as a result of his policies.
This is the thing with extremists. They may say that their policies are diametrically opposed to each other, but they deal with critics in the same fashion.
That's no surprise. You don't make such big ships with relatively limited weaponary unless you're trying to intimidate and potentially ram other countries' ships.
As the article says, however, it's an incredibly dangerous tactic to use. If a warship decides it's going to be rammed, there's a high chance it will open fire. If it doesn't, is rammed and sinks, that would still cause an international incident.

Although Sarin was invented by Germany (and later stolen by the Soviet-Union and the USA), the Nazi-government did (almost) mot use Sarin (a synthetic organophosporus compound), but Zyklon B (based on hydrogen cyanide) to exterminate Untermenschen.
They seems to have large quantities of Sarin to be used in weapens, but they didnt used it against the allies for some unknown reason.
But during massive suppression, torture, genocide and extermination against muslim victims in Syria, Myanmar and China, then these same people are nowhere to find.
That is, sorry for my opinion, really hypocrite.

Yes but not only the governments/politicians keep their mouth shut, also the people who regard themselves as strict religious, those people who think they are better and higher than normal muslims, are not on the street to demonstrate. If some Danish cartoonist make insulting drawings or a Dutch politician produce a film with a negative view on the islam, then suddenly the streets of Pakistan are filled with angry bearded men. If a non-muslim gouvernor in Indonesia uses a citate of the Al Quran, then suddenly a million people in Jakarta occupy streets and demonstrate "to defend the islam against evil infidels".

Likely most senior German military officers were very aware of the downstroke on using chemical weapons from their WW1 experiences or that of their colleagues. There use wouldn’t have changed the military situation for very long. Allied control of the air would have rained chemical death upon Germany.

With all due respect, this idea of “superiority” isn’t a new thing within Chinese history. The name “China” literarily means Middle Kingdom of the (then) known world. Old maps of China had their country in the middle with expanding rings of barbarians the further away one got from China. They’ve believed for a looooooong time they’re superior to most of the world.
“Since 1949, when the Communists took power, the official name for China has been Zhonghua renmin gongheguo [middle glorious people's republican country] or, in English, the People's Republic of China.”
Middle Kingdom | Encyclopedia.com
Middle Kingdom or Middle Country, Mandarin Zhongguo, Chinese name for China. It dates from c.1000 BC, when it designated the Chou empire situated on the North China Plain.

Yes I know that, but it hadn't been institutionalised as it has been in recent times. Prior to 1911 most imperial dynasties left the individual ethnic groups and cultures alone, as long as they swore fealty, paid tribute, and didn't commit rebellion. However if the article is right, then the CCP has gone from being communist to national socialist which is totally different. As the author stated, Stalin and Mao took the long view and never set a specific date for the achievement of global communism, so it was flexible and you can work with that over time to defeat it without resorting to war. Hitler and national socialism did. They had a plan which was inflexible and in order to defeat them it took a world war. That's the difference.With all due respect, this idea of “superiority” isn’t a new thing within Chinese history. The name “China” literarily means Middle Kingdom of the (then) known world.

They're probably taking a page from the Soviet playbook in that regard. Though it's important to note that the actual circumstance surrounding the potential Chinese situations and the actual situation in the Black Sea are quite different.
The CCP mouthpiece “Global Times” has ramped up the rhetoric against the Five Eyes nations as reported in the Australian today (sorry no link) under the headline;
“Five Eyes today’s axis of white supremacy”
“They have formed a US centered, racist and Mafia styled community, wilfully and arrogantly provoking China and trying to consolidate their hegemony as all gangsters do”
“The Anglo-Saxon Five Eyes alliance have a strong sense of civilisation superiority.
Except for NZ, the smallest of the Five Eyes countries and unwilling to get too involved in international conflicts, the other four are increasingly coordinating their attacks against China”.
This seems standard fare for the CCP’s alternative universe which views every analysis of their international affairs and actions as a conspiracy and every action by themselves as an historical right without need to conform to any rules based external proclamation.
It does seem the our Kiwi cousins have been spared the ire and continue to be besties with China but I feel there may be some alternative views from the land of the Long White Cloud even though Saint Jacinda will be happy.
Must go and practice my gangsterisms.
