The Great Game Changer: Belt and Road Intiative (BRI; OBOR)

[ChineseTiger1986]

Installing a Chinese RT is a start. Also Chinese people in general are not as patriotic as Russians. China need to start from within. Their current Globtal Times is a joke. As they supposed to be right wing news, yet they allow foreigners to write opinion pieces that undermine their whole objective.

Exactly, without CPC, China will still eat dust right now.

That's why those foreigners hate CPC so much.

I agree about a Chinese RT in multiple languages with studios in each global centers.

Global Times is supposed to be leftist/Marxist with a high level of political consciousness and patriotism. But at times some opinion pieces (in its English version) actually propagates right wing political and economic ideas (such as fundamentalist liberalism).

An aggressive, no apology rhetoric is important. Being a nice and cuddly panda does not do the purpose. Need to present some teeth and claws. Ridicule, belittling, naming, demonizing, associating, mud-slinging, etc.; these kinds of tactics must extensively be used, just as they are used effectively by the Western media.

In both cases, the aggressor is trying to claim territory it doesn’t own.

Wow, the tabloid already figured out who does not own the SCS. I guess we need to follow the suit and start debating who really owns the southern states that the US invaded and took away by force from Mexico in the 1840s.

Besides, the US flying all the way to China's doorstep is not aggressive. China confronting being spied is aggressive. One needs to be as low as US regime media to make such assertions.

Beijing is conducting a long-term campaign to seize control of the South China Sea, a plan that also involves the creation of artificial islands that it then packs with military assets.

As if the US never created artificial structures on Hawaii or Guam. What is the difference?

On its way out, Team Obama (whatever it is, but the tabloid use the term to make it look like some extremely professional group of hard working smart USers sitting down around table and saving the world) will get used to be gently pushed away. One step back at a time.

A Chinese jet fighter last week conducted an “unsafe” intercept of a US spy plane in international airspace over the East China Sea. It’s starting to become a trend — one the Obama administration needs to reverse.

It’s the second such incident in a month — on top of a series of Russian jets repeatedly buzzing US planes and a Navy ship in the Baltic. Beijing and Moscow both seem to think Team Obama can be bullied.

Worse, the Chinese moves directly violate a US-China agreement last September on rules of behavior on air encounters — one that was supposed to reduce tensions.

On top of the real risk of injury from a collision in the latest intercept, China also managed an insult: At the time, Secretary of State John Kerry and Treasury Secretary Jack Lew were in Beijing for an annual meeting.

In both cases, the aggressor is trying to claim territory it doesn’t own.

Beijing is conducting a long-term campaign to seize control of the South China Sea, a plan that also involves the creation of artificial islands that it then packs with military assets.

Moscow, meanwhile, is out to assert dominance in the Baltic — intimidating Norway and Sweden as well as Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.

Team Obama’s non-response to the Russian provocations probably encouraged China to give it a whirl.
If the White House similarly ignores the latest provocations, expect the likes of Iran or North Korea to be next. And their pilots are a lot less expert — boosting the odds of a fatal collision.

Put it in baseball terms: When the other team starts throwing too many brushback pitches, your players have to respond. And it’s far better to do so early — before you wind up with a bench-clearing brawl.

It does sound left as hell but western media deem global times as a "right wing mouthpiece of the Chinese government"

I think they mistake fascism with communism.

Communism is left. Fascism is right. Capitalist west is neo-fascist. China's state ideology is socialist-communist. Global Times, although might voice certain right-liberal ideas, is perfectly left.

NYT or WP, on the other hand, right, that is, potentially fascist.

Russia developing aircraft engine for joint passenger jet with China

Construction of a heavy-lift aircraft engine for a Russian-Chinese long-range wide-body aircraft has started, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin told reporters on Monday.


"We’ve informed the Chinese side about the beginning of work on Russia's heavy-lift aircraft engine in the thrust segment of up to 35 tons. The decision was made by the Russian president in May, with all the necessary funds allocated", Rogozin said after the meeting of the Russian-Chinese intergovernmental commission.

According to Rogozin, the new plane will have two engines instead of four.

“Neither the Soviet Union nor Russia have ever developed such a powerful engine. They are manufactured only by General Electric and Rolls-Royce," said Rogozin, adding“now this kind of engine will also be developed for the Russian-Chinese joint project."

"All development issues of a new passenger jet will now be solved, because you can't have a plane without an engine," he added.

The memorandum on the creation of a new airliner was signed in 2014 during President Vladimir Putin’s visit to China. It is part of a $13 billion aviation cooperation deal.

A specially-created engineering center in Russia will undertake technical and electronics production while the construction of fuselage and the assembly of the airplanes will take place in China.

The new 250-280 seat aircraft will reportedly be a development of the Russian-designed IL-96. It will have a range of 12,000km. According to the managing director of Air Transport Observer magazine, Maksim Pyadushkin, the cost of the plane is estimated at $200-260 million which is similar to the American Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

The first planes are expected to be completed by 2023 and to go on sale in 2025.

Excellent. I bet, when President Xi and President Putin come together in couple of days for SCO meeting, they will also talk about this.

I heard President Putin also plans a state visit to China this or next month.

Just the SCO market is large enough for hundreds of C929s.

A slew of big deals and further improvement in strategic cooperation.

One day later, South Korean PM is flying to Beijing.

As @Barmaley posted today - it will be PD-35 engine with 35 tonnes trust.

All the best.

About time someone from Asia breaks this duopoly from Europe and North America.

New aircraft means more orders and more competition.

Any concept designs released for public info yet?
